RUN_PRODUCT (Forms/Reports Upgrade)

Hello,
I have an Oracle Forms application.
The total application is about 44 forms and 7 reports developed under Oracle Forms/Reports 6i.
This is running in a Client/Server 2-tier model.
I want to upgrade to the Web with Oracle 9i Database and Application Server.
My forms use the RUN_PRODUCT modem to call Reports.
1) Do I need to rewrite my PL/SQL code to change the RUN_PRODUCT to RUN_REPORT_OBJECT ?
Regards,
PT

Paolo,
FMA does only perform required code changes. The run_product to run_report_object conversion requires you to provide values for the Reports Server name and the access path you use on your system. Further more the migration will set a default Reports output. if you want your application to programmatically control this, you will have to add code that sets the Reports format and the destination type. The added rp2rrp.pll library has procedures for this.
The compiler in Oracle Application Server can be used, but doesn't help if you hit a migration issue that wasn't handled by FMA. I would recommend to use the Oracle Developer Suite for migration.

Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

Dear Community Friends,
We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
For Custom Forms,
Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
For custom workflow upgradation,
Upgrade Workflow 11i to R12
Workflow Upgrade
Workflow Upgrade
For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
Please correct me,if i am wrong.
1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
this will generate the .fmx's.
frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.

So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).

Upgrade Oracle Forms/Reports from 6i to 11g

Hi you Oracle experts,
I'm considering to upgrade my Oracle Forms/Reports application from 6i to 11g.
However, I see dozens of separated server components on the download page in OTN.
Can anyone guide me what server/developer software components should I prepare to install ?
Also, please tell me the service dependency between the server components.
Thank you in advance.

It depends on which Machine you want to install. Its different for a developer and a Server.
For Forms and Reports, you can Weblogic server and install FMV with Forms and Reports builders.
For migration you can go through this link.

Weblogic Server upgrade along with Forms & Reports

Hi Gurus,
I would need some help on upgrading one our Weblogic server from 10.3.2 to 10.3.6. Also, we have forms & reports ( version: 11.1.1.2 ) configured on this server and we would have to upgrade this to version: 11.1.2.1
Can you please help me or point me to a good document to do this.
I am a DBA and my weblogic experience is very little.
Thanks
Prakash
Edited by: 1004698 on May 8, 2013 4:52 AM

Hi Prakash,
First, very smart decision to move to 11gR2 Forms - performance is much better in 11gR2. Customers i've worked with, are very happy with it compared to 11gR1.
Now, if you want to upgrade from 11gR1 (11.1.1.2) to 11gR2 Forms (11.1.2.1), I would do a new install. Simply because, there is no simple/straight-forward Architecture upgrade path from 11gR1 to 11gR2 Forms. And the installation will also be a clean isntall. Don't worry about your forms/reports source code, you can just recompile no problem in 11gR2 Forms.
If you want to do a re-install heres some things to consider:
1.) Update and/or Install an Oracle certified JDK - you can verify the correct JDK in the certification matrix provided by oracle: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/oracle-forms-11gr2certmatrix-519680.xls
2.) Verify your OS is certified with Forms 11gR2
3.)Install WLS in a new middleware Home.
4.) At his point, you should install the Oracle Forms 11gR2 Binaries Home in your new 10.3.6 Middleware Home.
5.) Optional: If you want the same exact ports as 11gR1 Forms installation - you'll have to shutdown all the 11gR1 Forms/Reports processes- OPMN Processes, WLS_FORMS, WLS_REPORTS, AdminServer.
5.) Run the Forms 11gR2 Configuration Wizard to install and configure a new Forms 11gr2 domain.
6.) After the configuration wizard completes successfully:
- Migrate over your formsweb.cfg/env settings
- Migrate ORACLE_HOME customizations
- Definitely install/configure webutil components
- Migrate over any other additional customizations
If you run into any weird issues, check out my companies knowledge base, its full of installation knowledge: http://pitss.com/us/knowledgebase/
Hope this helps!

KrithikaHi Krithika,
to simplify, you are upgrading EBS; that requires an upgrade of your forms & reports to 10.1.2.3 level. you said, you have already applied it.
- first, can you give details of how and on which of your instances have you applied this Patch Set upgrade? have you applied it to all of your midtiers too?
- second, the OPatch version you wrote seems to be for DB Server and not for Application Server. i think you are checking OPatch version from a db home or from some DB server. whereas, you should check it from some AS midtier. on AS 10.1.2.0.2, it should be 10.0.0.0.60. and that's what you also get when you apply the following OPatch.
- after the complete Patch Set 3 upgrade, which takes your AS to 10.1.2.3, you should apply the following OPatch.
Latest OPatch (Patch 6880880)
See for ref: Doc ID: 415222.1 and go to step 5.

Use run_product call report from form failed.

Hi Expert,
I have a report in my application server and run report like below, it works fine.
run_product(REPORTS,'/gr100/MILK/MILKdev/xxc/reports/XCPO5004',SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id,NULL);
Unfortunately, I save the report in DB and run like below, it doesn't work.
run_product(REPORTS,'210.126.129.201:/gr100/MILK/MILKappl/xxc/11.5.0/reports/KO/XCPO5004',SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id,NULL);
210.126.129.201 is the db server ip address.
I change to run like
run_product(REPORTS,'210.126.129.201:/gr100/MILK/MILKappl/xxc/11.5.0/reports/KO/XCPO5004',SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,DB, pl_id,NULL);
I still not work.
Product version is Forms&Reports 9.0.4
Will any expert give some advise on this? Or Do you have any idea to call the report from db?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Tony,
Thank you for the update.
If I use run_product to call a report from a remote server, what is the syntax of it.
I use run_product(REPORTS,'210.126.129.201:/gr100/MILK/MILKappl/xxc/11.5.0/reports/KO/XCPO5004',SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id,NULL);
210.126.129.201 is the server ip address, and /gr100/MILK/MILKappl/xxc/11.5.0/reports/KO/XCPO5004 is the location of the report.
If this is incorrect, which to be modified.
Thank you,

Reports upgradation from 6i to 10g

Hi!
We are upgrading all our reports and forms from 6i to 10g.
I am facing the following problem.
In our 6i report, we were scheduling a report from the report server (frequency every hour).
Here the output pdf file we are storing in a folder on the server.
We are assigning the full pathname and file name to the Desname in the After Parameter form Report trigger.
Desname := directory path||filename.pdf
This command works in 6i. The output pdf file is generated in the respective folder. But however this command is not working in the 10g server.
If we dont assign the path and file name to the Desname parameter then the o/p file is generated. It is going to the default location.
Can anybody help me in solving this problem? Is there any other method to achieve the same result?

Is there anybody who can help me on this? I need help urgently in this matter.

Migrating forms/reports 6i to 11g

Hi,
Im looking for a step-by-step guide to migrate from form/reports 6i to forms 11g.
I found the document bellow. Can one suggest more resources ?
Oracle® Forms
Upgrading Oracle Forms 6i to Oracle Forms 11g
11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
E10394-01Thanks

I'm thinking no because a large part of it depends upon how the 6 Forms were written.
You probably already have this:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/index-095046.html
Oracle Doc 207396.1 has some information too.

How long Oracle plans to support Forms/Reports 6i ?

Hello dear Oracle Forms users/developers,
The "Oracle Forms: Features Obsolescence for Release 9i", which I downloaded from OTN, clearly indicates that the client-server runtime will be obsolete in 9i, and (quote) "users who currently deploy their application in a client-server environment and who wish to upgrade to 9i will have to Web-deploy their application as part of the upgrade process" (page 3). It also indicates that Oracle Graphics will not be shipped with Forms 9i. If someone needs Graphics, then Graphics 6i (not 9i) need to be installed into a separate Oracle_Home...
I have been trying to convince some Oracle product managers for years to continue supporting the runtime environment. Oracle always refused to include the "runtime only" installation option for any flavor of unix (eventhough it was available for windows).
The above news (of the fading away of client-server runtime option) really did upset me.
We have been developing applications with Oracle Forms/Reports/Graphics for the client-server environment as the database frontend to different simulation models. Our forms includes buttons that allows the end-users to download/upload ascii files to the file system/database. We and our customers (including the international users) are very happy with the client-server runtime option and don't want to use the forms server (or the iAS) just to be able to run these complex forms/reports/graphics applications.
Oracle keeps telling people that it will be cheaper to move to iAS and serve the forms via iAS forms services. For small size client-server applications this is absolutely not true. We are an Oracle partner and I have discussed the licensing issues with them and am aware of the deploying costs. Let me tell you couple of things:
1. Oracle forms/reports services included only in the enterprise version of 9iAS, not the standard version.
2. If the end-user is licensed for Oracle database server and has a copy of Forms/Reports Developer 6i, then they can run the client-server application without any extra license (number of users does not apply in this case).
3. Forms/Reports Developer 6i is not a separate product and could be obtained by purchasing iDS (internet Developer Suite) or iAS EE license. iDS is a windows only product and includes designer 6i, Jdeveloper additional to the forms/reports developer 6i. Someone might say, "the end-user might not need all the extra just to be able to run your forms". Answer to that is the cost of purchasing a 2 years license for iDS is almost equal or cheaper than the cost of 2 years named user license (based on the fact that 9iAS EE has a 10 named user minimum requirement). And the end-user can install only the forms/reports part of iDS (given the fact that forms/reports 6i is available for different platforms including solaris - does not have to be windows).
4. This information if from the Oracle Partnership and any Oracle employee which doubts about it should talk to them to verify.
Here are my questions:
========================
Given all these FACTS (our satisfaction level with the client-server environment with Forms/Reports Developer 6i and the licensing information) I would like to ask to those Oracle employees (or personnel) how they justified the termination of the client-server runtime in Forms 9i?
If the Forms/Reports Developer 6i will be the only (and the last) version that supports client-server runtime environment, how long Oracle is going to support it?
I need to know to decide if we should use the forms/reports in our future projects or not.
Thank you (for reading all this crap) and best regards.
Zafer AKTAN
Oracle DBA/Developer

Question 1
I would like to ask to those Oracle employees (or personnel) how they justified the termination of the client-server runtime in Forms 9i?
This descicion was made from feedback from our customers. Feedback from the Forms Customer Advisory Board and the Oracle Developer Tools Group (ODTUG) indicated that they are 1)in the process of moving their client-server applications to the web, 2)have already moved to the web, 3)are looking at web stategies and 4)this is also the direction that Oracle Applications division is taking.
It is proven that while liscencing for the web may not be cheaper in itself, the total cost of ownership is cheaper with web deployment once you figure in the ease of maintanence, deployment, and configuration.
Question 2
If the Forms/Reports Developer 6i will be the only (and the last) version that supports client-server runtime environment, how long Oracle is going to support it?
Yes, Forms 6i is the last version to support client-server runtime. 6i will be patched through 2006 with extended support through 2008.

How can I uninstall a damaged installation of Fusion - PFRD 11.1.1.6.0 - Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer

Hello,
I am upgrading EBS 11i to 12i, Discoverer 4 to 11. After completing ebs installation and upgrade successfully, I am now working on the Oracle Fusion piece of the upgrade.
I have installed
1. JDK
2. Repository Creation Utility - RCU (schema)
3. Weblogic - WLS 10.3.6
4. Oracle Fusion - Discoverer 11g Release 1 Patchset 1 11.1.1.2.0 PFRD
5. Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Patchset 11.1.1.6.0 - Patchset 13517084
6. Executed config.sh and it failed with but continued.
During the Configuration of Oracle Fusion with config.sh there was failure at with "fails at creating data sources" and accidentally proceeded and all seem to go well until after shutting down the servers when Weblogic Managed Server is unable to start.
The start log indicated: "weblogic.store.PersistentStoreFatalException: [Store:280105]The persistent file store "_WLS_WLS_DISCO" cannot open file _WLS_WLS_DISCO000000.DAT." and I have been unable to find a solution for this error?
See log file error at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15497130/oracle/ebs11/startManagedWebLogic.sh_nohup.out
If re-installation is my only option, then what are the steps to uninstall, and which components do I have to uninstall given that I had upgraded all the schemas involved?
Mathias

Hey,
You can always change the JDBC datasources in the Weblogic admin console . but have you recorded what is the specific error you got during the datasources creation .
I prefer...create a new user , give him sysdba privillages . Start RCU and create the DEV_DISCOVERER , DEV_DISCOVERER_PS schemas (prefix is your choice)
The Admin server will start . so go to admin console .
click services -> Data Sources
Check the data sources you have . edit each datasource and update the connection pool information .
after this you can start the Managed server WLS_DISCO
i believe this will solve this .........
if you still get issue again . you can try the link Using the WebLogic Persistent Store

Forms / Reports 6i - slow starting printing & FRM-41211 Integration error

We are having a problem with Forms / Reports 6i that seems to be slowly getting worse.
When beginning printing, the CPU usage goes up to 100%. In task manager I can see IFRUN60.EXE or RWRBE60.EXE, or IFBLD60.EXE or RWBLD60.EXE taking up 70% or so of the CPU time with the rest being taken up by the SPOOLSV.EXE spooler service.
This can be observed when
* Starting the Reports background generator from the Forms runtime
* Printing from a "print form" function inside the Forms runtime
* Starting Reports builder
* Printing from Reports Builder
* Printing from Forms Builder
The big problem is launching Reports from the Forms runtime. If this CPU / Spooler wheel spinning takes more than 30 seconds or so (and it can on slower machines), Forms thinks that it has failed to launch Reports and gives the error "FRM-41211 Integration error: SSL failure running another product" Eventually the reports background generator will finish launching.
This happens on NT 4, 2000, XP, and 2003 server. I have tried this in a "clean" configuration where nothing else (no extra services or anything) is running at all and this still happens. We are currently running Forms & Reports Patchset 17.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? Thanks.

This is one of the lines that is calling the report:
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, 'ORDER_PRINT.RDF', SYNCHRONOUS, BATCH, FILESYSTEM,ORDER_ID,'');
Here is another one:
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS
,'OE_AUTO_QUOTE'
,SYNCHRONOUS
,RUNTIME
,FILESYSTEM
,ORDER_ID
We have a client/server setup. We are running 6i forms and reports, with a 9 database.
There have been no changes to these forms or reports. And it doesn't happen all the time. It just happens every-so-often.
EDIT - I guess it has been doing this for the past 3 weeks. One user says it happens everytime she tries to print anything from a form......
I've searched the forum about this and there are a lot of unanswered questions. I'm thinking my chances are slim on figuring this out.
2nd EDIT - I looked at the documentation at
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=164945.1
everything seems to be right - according to that. So I'm wondering if this has anything to do with any sort of networking issues.....
.....3rd EDIT........
Still searching. It looks like this person has the same problem. http://www.webservertalk.com/archive149-2005-11-1283220.html
Having problems with the rwrbe60.exe
I'm wondering if there was some sort of patch Microsoft let out that is causing this issue?
