Problem in Installing Forms 6i in Oracle 8

Hi there
I am a home user and at the moment studying for OCP Oracle Forms Developer Rel. 6/6i and I really need some good help.
I have some problem in the Installing the Orcale Forms 6i, I have already installed WinNT4 (Server) and Oracle 8.
SO far I have tried to Install Forms 6i four times but I failed. Due to this reason every time I had to also Uninstall the Oracle 8
from my system, because it started to give problems.
OK THIS IS THE PROBLEM :
When I installed Oracle 8, the user name was <system> and the password was <manager> in the SQL Plus. I used it for few times and worked fine. But when I installed the Oracle Developer 6i the SQL Plus didn't accepted the same user name and the password. I tried many commands that I could find in the Oracle documentations (On the CD) but so far nothing.
Need some command or any thing to over write the system so I can change the user name and password.
Plus when I use turn on my computer and run WINNT 4 (server) I get message that I have some problem in Oracle80.exe file and due to that my system hangs for couple of minutes.
I also want the sample tables, but I don't know the particular command for SQL *PL by which I can get the sample tables.
Please help me by suggesting what shall I do.
Regards
Mustafa

Installation Procedure
Follow this procedure to install Developer 6.0 and Oracle 8i on the same physical machine in separate ORACLE_HOMEs on NT:
1) Install Developer 6.0 using the instructions on the Developer CD.
Specify an appropriate drive and the ORANT directory as the destination. For example:
D:\ORANT
Note: You must install Developer in the Oracle home named DEFAULT_HOME.
2) Install RDBMS 8.1.5 from the Oracle 8i CD. Specify the following information when prompted for the Oracle Home and Full path:
Oracle Home ora8i
Full Path d:\orant\ora8i
Choose Typical Install
Global Database Name ora8i.us.oracle.com (This is an example)
SID ORA8I (This is an example)
As the product installs, a summary is displayed that shows the products that are installed and the space requirements.
When the installation is complete, the following information is displayed and the installer exits:
Oracle Database Configuration Assistant Alert Database Creation Completed.
Database Information
Global Database Name ora8i.us.oracle.com
SID ORA8I
Sys password change_on_install
System passwd manager
3) A TNSNAMES entry needs to be created in the tnsnames.ora file for the new Oracle 8i installation. You can find the file in:
d:\orant\net80\admin\tnsnames.ora
A default entry will look like this:
alias.world
(DESCRIPTION
(ADDRESS_LIST
(ADDRESS
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = )
(Port = )
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = )
For example, if you installed on a machine with a HOSTNAME of TEST, a SID named ORA8I, on TCP/IP with port 1521, and an alias of NEW, you would create the following entry:
NEW.world
(DESCRIPTION
(ADDRESS_LIST
(ADDRESS
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = TEST)
(Port = 1521)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORA8I)
4) If you manually created the entry, save and close the tnsnames.ora file.
You can now connect to the local database instance of 8i using the DBSTRING as NEW. For example, you can connect as scott/tiger@NEW.

Problem in installing Forms 6 on Windows 2000

I have problem in installing forms 6 on windows 2000.
Please advise me.

Hello,
I've been using Dev 2000 ver 6i for several months sucessfully on Win 2K RC2. The compiled .fmx's work fine with the ver 6.0 runtime environment under NT 4.0.
The only problem is that the Forms Server won't work till the 1st patch set comes out
(only Oracle knows when!) , so you can't test or deploy the forms as web apps on Win 2K yet. OAS 4.0 appears to work ok on Win 2K.
I have been using the Beta version of Dev 6i and will upgrade to the release version eventually, probably when the patch comes out.

Problem in Installing Forms 6i on Pentium 4 Machine

Dear All,
I tried to install forms 6i on my Pentium 4 machine but I was not
successful. Later I come to know that for doing this I need a patch
to be installed. i searched the whole oracle and intel site but I
could not get it. If any one else have come with similair problem and
get the patch then please tell me the site address and path from
where I can download the patch.
Thanks
Sunil Kumar(OCP-DBA)

Are you talking about a Forms patch or the JInitiator patch ? Do a search for JInitiator and P4 and find your way to www.sun.com for the JRE patch you need for P4's. Or get Forms 9i.

Problem while install forms 11g

dear sirs
when i install forms and report 11g it give me error about jvm, and i try to install java se to solve the problem, but problem still
pls tell me how to solve or how to install this jvm, known that i use operating system windows 7 64bit

The problem is that you are trying to install a version of Forms 11g which needs a 64 bits JVM and you have a 32 bits JVM.
So you should install a 64 bits JDK and a 64 bits Weblogic (because the weblogic that comes with jdeveloper is a 32 bits weblogic).
Then you will be able to install the Forms you are trying to install, also look at this link to set the JAVA_HOME if you are installing on windows:

Problem with installing Forms 11g on clients

Hi all,
I have successfuly installed weblogic server and Oracle Forms 11g on a server and everything works fine. I need to install Forms 11g on different clients for developers. My question is that do i need to install Weblogic on every single client or i can use the one that i have installed on my server. If i can use the one that i have installed, please explain how i can do this because i have tried a lot and the installer does not go to next page after asking for email address.
Thanks in forward,
Shademani
p.s. The clients are Win Xp

Two recommendations:
1. Read this:
http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/2007/03/02
2. If you are new to the product and/or product version, you should probably read the documentation before starting to install. Here is the url to the installation guide. This is a good starting place.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/install.1111/e10421/toc.htm
The installation guide explains what is needed and how to install.

Field selection problem in a form created in Oracle forms 9i

I am using an application created in Oracle 9 i Forms. Mouse navigation in the forms do not work properly. Since a field is selected and some string is typed then first character is allways ignored hence it is necessary to press a key like before typing required string. The same application works well when I'm using Oracle JInitiator.

Hi, again and thanks for the patience. I am using the oracle plugin all the time and it works. But I need to use the application on different computer where the oracle JInitiator could not be installed. There I am trying to use the Sun Java Plugin Version 1.4.2_06 (build 1.4.2_06-b03) which shall be compatible. Since last time I asked again the provider and I found that the application is pure Oracle Forms 9i application which doesn't need Java when it is run on the computer where the application is instaled. The Java plugin is then used to show the forms and to provide the comunication between clients and application server. Probably it is clear to you however I am not a developer but poor user only. I have also tried to play with the application to find how it works (or doesn't works). It seems that the problem is exactly with mouse navigation. When tab or enter is used then it works fine. But when a form field is selected by mouse then a character is typed and i can see it. But when I continue with the writing the first character is overwrite. Sometimes when there is a list of records row by row and I try to get to next row using the mouse the application tells me that some bloody key is not valid but using the key down I can easily go ti next row. To tell the truth I don't like mouses at all so it is no problem to me but other users do not know how Tab works :-)

Trouble installing "Form Builder" with Oracle Developer 6/6i

I get the following "Error Info" message first:
"path vrf(86): Unbound variable 'path_too_long_prompt'"
Then the following:
"The Oracle Installer cannot update the system path variable to %new- path% because it is too long. Please restrict your system path to 127 characters and make sure D:\Oracle\ORADEV\bin is included in your path."
Note that the reference to the D:\ drive is correct, but how do I correct this problem with the path variable being too long?
"Form Builder" does not get installed but the "Report Builder" which follows this step in the process installed just fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
...Barry

Yes, you can install. Install Oracle 9i DB and D2k on different HOME. Then, configure D2K tnsnames.ora as per 9iDB tnsnames.
it will work, and works fine for me.

Could any one give the information of how to install forms and reports 6i. It ll be of great help to me.

use F:\oracle\forms6 as your forms-home
try it

Oracle 6i forms issue with Oracle 9i Database

Hi Friends,
I am having Oracle Forms Developer installed with patchset18.The Version is 6.0.8.27.0
When i connect the forms builder to 9i Database (9.2.0.1) the form builder is getting crashed but i am able to connect the forms builder to e-business suite database(9.2.0.6)
I tried installing 9i Database(9.2.0.1) on windows 2003 server,windows xp,windows 2000.
When i connect my forms builder to any of these databases the forms builder is crashing with don't send message error on (ifbld60.exe).
Is there any compatibility issue between forms builder(6i) and oracle 9i(9.2.0.1).Please suggest me.
Regards,
Arun .N

Forms 6i connects to Oracle 9 databases just fine, even though it is no longer certified by Oracle.
First of all, can you connect to the database with SQL Plus? Make sure that works first.
The other thing that comes to mind is the AL32UTF8 character set. Forms 6i and other older Oracle software cannot connect to databases using it. But I have only seen that problem with Oracle 10g databases, so I am not sure about the Oracle 9 db.
Here is a thread discussing the problem: Re: connecting form 6i to oracle database 10G express edition

Forms 6i with oracle 8.0.5

Please tell me , can i install Forms 6i with oracle 8.0.5 database ?

As far as I know you can use Forms 6i with a 8.0.5 database.
You will have problems if you try to install this development software in the same Oracle Home as any pre 6i development software.
Tip. Designer 6i repository has to be installed on a 2e edition 8i database(8.1.6). So if you are planning to use Forms6i in conjuction with Designer 6i...
Just food for thought..

Problem with 8i & forms 6i on same PC?

Can 8i and Forms/reports 6i be used together on a stand alone PC(win 98). I can get 8i working ok but problems when installing forms 6i doesnt seem to like default directory but doesnt work in alternative one either?
Please can anyone help thanks

On NT4.0 it works this way:
Install
at first Forms 6.0i in \Orant (Orawin on Win98), DEFAULT_HOME, afterwards the database
Oracle 8i in \Oracle\anyDir, any_HOME.
This can be on the same disk. Try it on Win98. It works best on Win NT4.0/SP4(5). Win 2000 Pro is not so easy.

Problem in installing Ultra Search

Hi all,
We are facing problem while installing Ultra Search for Oracle 9i in Sun Solaris server. The Ultra Search documentation says that the middle tier component includes the following :
1. Ultra Search admininstration tool
2. Ultra Search Java query API
3. Ultra Search Java server page sample query qpplication
But we are unable to see it either in the Oracle Universal Installer's list of installed components or in the database server's file system. The documentation says that for deploying the Ultra Search Administration Tool on a Third Party Middle Tier, the ear file :
$ORACLE_HOME/ultrasearch/webapp/ultrasearch_admin.ear
should be present. But we cannot find the directory "webapp" at that location.
Does the ear file already get extracted during installation ?
Are the three components listed above shown in the Oracle Universal Installer's list ?
Where can we get the ear file for installation on a Third Party Application Server (iPlanet Server) ?
Can anyone outline the Installation process for Ultra Search ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I assume you are installing Oracle 9iR2.
It seems OUI did not install most of the Ultra Search files. Can you check in your
oraInventory/Components directory for oracle.isearch.*?
You should see
oracle.isearch.client
oracle.isearch.is_common
oracle.isearch.server
If not, these components have not been installed. Please check your installation procedure
to make sure the following are checked:
Oracle Ultra Search Middle-Tier
Oracle Ultra Search Common Files
Oracle Ultra Search Server
follow up with me if you still have problems.
David
