We are migrating Oracle forms 4.5 to oracle 10g. We have following apporaches.
     1. Oracle 4.5-->6i-->10g, In this what are benefits of migrating into intermediate version.Oracle's migration path is 4.5, 6i, 10g it is more logical to migrate using this path and it is recommended by Oracle, the obsolete built-ins would be pointed out at compilation and fixes would be more automated and simple since Forms 6i was designed to accept migration from 4.5 and the internal design of the forms will be much more adaptable to later releases.
     2. if we migrating into intermediate version 6i, do we need to fix all the errors before moving to 6i.It would be better and easier to fix things in Forms 6i rather than 10g, you can leave them and than you'll have to fix them under 10g.
     3. if no, do we lose any functionlity while migrating to 10g.Functionality built on obsolete built-ins and commands will be lost, you are more likely to face bugs.
     4. Does Oracle support direct migration to 10g?Oracle's official migration path is 4.5 to 6i to 10g
     5. if we open oracle 4.5 form in 10g form builder, do we lose any functionality? do we need to lot manual replacement?It all depends on your application size and features. I suggest you migrate to Forms 6i first and than to 10g although you can do it directly to 10g since Forms 6i is no longer supported.
I personally rather follow the recommended path and use Oracle support in 10g migration.

  • Error Creating New Form Version

    Whenever I try to create a new Form Version for an Object Form or Process Form I am getting an error.
    The Form Version has Lookup Queries as properties and this seems to be causing the issue. We did not see this in the past but are now seeing it.
    Anybody else see this issue? Know of a workaround? Know what the validateLookupQuery is actually doing?

  • What is forms builder version for R12  ? prob. for 6i forms  ?

    hi..guys..
    Currently we have oracle apps..11.5.10-----> forms version 6i
    Now, we are upgrading apps to R12...so all the custom forms which are in 6i needs to be migrated to forms 10g so they can be compatible with oracle EBS release 12.
    So, I am opening forms which were created using 6i in form builder 10g. Then getting connected with the database created for R12...so it takes R12 library references...so at this time forms builder 10g is crashing......
    I am using FORMS 32 BIT VERSION 9.0.4.0.19 (PRODUCTION)..Oracle Developer Suite 10g...to modify and compile 6i forms...so I can put them on R12 instance...
    Problem is everytime I try to compile 6i form after opening it in 10g forms builder, it crashes ....so what is the best way to compile 6i forms to make them compatible with R12 ....?
    thanks...

    Does this happen to all forms or certain ones only?
    You need to open the forms in Form Builder 10g (Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2.0.2)), compile it, save it then upload it back to the server.

  • Problem viewing forms.This form is not supported with the current version of Adobe Reader.Upgrade to the latest version for full support. That does that mean exactly?

    Problem viewing forms.This form is not supported with the current version of Adobe Reader.
    Upgrade to the latest version for full support.
    What exactly do I need to do?

    That means you were probably using Adobe Acrobat to view PDF's. Acrobat is totally unnessary, you can view PDF's in Preview (Applications - Preview).
    BTW PLEASE complete your profile. It's very difficult to help  someone when they don't provide any information about their system. You can easily do this by clicking Your Stuff in the upper right of this page, then click Profile and fill in the pertinent information.

  • CF Set form.variable for query and Next/Previous pages error

    I have a CF form with a select that posts to a CF "action" page.
    On the action page I: CFSET ItemNumber=#form.ItemNumber#
    I CFOUTPUT the 'ItemNumber' into the CFQUERY (which is an Inner Join dependant on the '#ItemNumber#')...
    All of the above works just fine and displays the database fields in color alternating rows, per the rest of the code.
    Here's the problem:
    I'm displaying 40 rows on a page per "Next and Previous" code. (CFPARAM name="start" default="1" and CFPARAM name="disp" default="40" along with the rest of the NextN code in the header and body). This does display 40 rows on the page and puts a link at the bottom of the page "Next 40 Rows", etc.
    Note: I'm only querying the database once and using the query (query name="data") to populate the table rows And the NextN code (CFOUTPUT name="data") And (CFIF start + disp GREATER THAN data.RecordCount, etc)...
    The problem happens when you click the "Next 40 Rows" link to display the 2nd page of rows. Since (I'm assuming) this NextN code is 're-reading' the same page from top to bottom, an error is thrown when the code tries to read the CFSET ItemNumber=#form.ItemNumber# at the top of the page.
    With the #form.ItemNumber# on this action page Originally coming from the previous posting of the form to this action page, when the "Next 40 Rows" link is clicked and the NextN code re-reads this action page - the CFSET ItemNumber (#form.ItemNumber) is not getting populated and throws the error...
    I hope I've not made this sound confusing.
    I can get the NextN code to work when I'm just querying the database without "flying in" a form variable. But when I CFSET a variable (#form.ItemNumber#) that is inserted into the query, the second page of the NextN throws an error and doesn't display.
    I would include the page code here but it would be fairly lengthy and, as well, the NextN code is a 'standard' CF code -- I've narrowed the problem down to the above "Element is undefined" (when the page tries to reload from the "Next 40 Rows" link) and am hoping there's a simple fix or another way to display the records in Next and Previous pages.
    Thanks to anyone in advance for shedding light on this.
    - e

    Thank you for the reply, Owain.
    Yes - The Next/Previous at the bottom of the page are hyperlinks.
    <a href="ThisPage.cfm?start=#Evaluate("start + disp")#">
    The following is at the top of the page (and is the variable from the form that I CFOUTPUT in the query):
    <cfparam name="ItemNumberDropdown01" default="">
    <cfset ItemNumber = #form.ItemNumberDropdown01#>
    The error report showed that the "Next Page" hyperlink was reading an undefined variable... although when the "action page" first opens from the form posting to it, it populates the CFSET just fine (per the cfparam and cfset above)... As you mention, the hyperlink clearing the form scope is what causes the error in trying to display the next set of records...
    The form page and the 'action page' are both secure pages with an application page setting the session, etc. Am I at risk in using an URL scope?
    Where would this URL scope be put? (The href is shown above - would the URL scope go in this? - How would this be written?)
    The CFPARAM and CFSET would still exist at the top of the 'action page' and still throw an error wouldn't it or would this be replaced with something else to read the form.variable for this 'first' action page to be displayed?
    Thanks again for the 'education' on this...

  • Single Form with a button for two seperate form versions.

    Is it possible to create an option to select between two seperate Form Versions. For example. I have a Transfer Form. But there is an internation version and a domestic version. Both have some simple javascript.  I would like to combine these two forms into one document. When the end user opens the form, i would like to have a button for either domestic or internation. Depending on what the end user selects, it loads that version of the form. I have played around for a while and havent gotten anywhere, and i would like to know if there is even a way to acomplish this, or does it have to be two seperate document forms completely?

    With Acrobat or Reader XI one can show or hide a template page. You need Acrobat to create a template page.
    If your users will be using older versions of Reader, then you would need to hide or unhide form fields.

  • In the former version of iTunes there was an option by means of which I could see the most recent podcast even for those I did not subscribe to. Apparently, with 11.2 this option is gone. Any help?

    Hi folks,
    in former versions of iTunes I could update the list of available podcasts even for those I did not subscribe to.
    Where is this feature in iTunes 11.2?
    Help is appreciated!
    Regards
    Klaus

    well nobody bothered to give me a hint on what to do, maybe because the problems with the new version of iTunes are really a lot, there is an enormous amount of people out there that have all sort of different problems including mine  so I have decided to return to the previous version which works fine and wait untill the apple people come up with a decent product ....

  • Do I need special version of forms 2000 and forms 6i for Xandros Linux?

    Hi,
    Please tell me if someone knows that, do i need any special version of forms 2000 and forms 6i
    for 'xandros Linux' or the same can be install which we usually use for windows xp or 2000.
    Regards and thanks in advance.

    Have in mind that Xandros is not certified. However, the biggest problem if the distribution is a newer on is about OpenMotif libraries as Developer 6i installation requires version 2.1.30 to install successfully.
    If it may be of any use, there's a guide on installing on [SLES 8|http://knol.google.com/k/cuauhtmoc-amox/install-oracle-developer-6i-on-suse/153594c4goidl/3].

  • Help on determining version for existing forms & porting to Forms 9i

    I'm new to Oracle and Oracle Forms.
    I have a large number of *.fmb, *.fmx, *.pll, *.sql files (all developed in the early 1990's).
    I am trying to convert them to 9i. Are there any "How-To's" on the subject?
    Is there a tool to help me determine what the original Forms version is?
    Also . . .
    When opening a *.fmb in Forms 9i, I get the error "FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library &lt;filename&gt;.pll. This library attachment will be lost if the module is saved.
    I opened the specified *.pll file and then another form and received the same error.
    Any help or direction will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Brian Atkinson

    Generally speaking you can just open up a form in 9i and that will upgrade it. There are specific issue on moving from client/server to the web and you can go to otn.oracle.com/products/forms and click to view the Forms Upgrade Centre.
    The error you are getting probably means that the form has a library attached but when you open that form it cannot find it.
    What I would do is make sure the location of the pll files is on the FORMS90_PATH environment variable (in the registry on Windows).
    Another note - you can go to otn.oracle.com/products/forms and click to download other versions of the software - including 6i. However while it may only be certified to go to 61 and then 9i, in many cases you can go directly from 4.5. to 9i.
    Hope this helps.

    I have a date field on the query find form. The current functionality is that
    "The form searches for the exact match on the date" but I want to have the results which satisfy <= "entered date".
    How do I achieve it in Query find form.

    Please help me with an example. Thank you.

    Short of adding your own query extensions, you must pass in a Date
    parameter vs some stringified version.

  • Form opening for some users but not others

    I created a form with an area for the recipient to simply type their name, save the document and email it back.  This works for some but I have a user getting an error message:
    "This document does not allow changes to be saved.  Any changes you have made will not be included in the document when it's mailed.  Do you want to continue?"
    Could this be an issue with the user's Reader?  They cannot save or email the document once they type in their name.

    Reader XI is the first version of Adobe Reader that can save a filled in PDF form without any additional processing steps.
    Versions of Reader prior to version XI could not save filled-in forms. Version 7 with updates was the first version of Reader that could save forms for which special Extended Reader Rights were applied to.
    Which version of Reader are the users with problems using?
    If before version XI and version 7 or newer, then you need to apply Extended Reader Rights to the form. For users with version 6 or older, they will have to upgrade to a newer version of Reader.

  • How do I exchange CS5.5 Windows version for a Mac version?

    I bought the downloadable online student version of Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 (windows version) over 2 years ago.  I just bought a Mac and would like to re-install CS but according to Adobe website, I need to exchange the windows version for mac version but since I don't have the most current version of CS (CS6?) I actually have to purchase an upgrade to CS6 first in order to exchange the windows version for mac. Does anyone know how to do this and how much it is going to cost?  I found instructions online that led me to a form that was a little vague and confusing so if anyone knows another way to go about doing this let me know!  Also, I don't think my membership allows me the privilege of actually speaking to someone in customer service.
