Runtime Compatibility Mode property

Hello!
I have a problem after the migration from Forms6i to Forms9i because there is no Runtime Compatibility Mode property anymore. In the previous version I used 4.5 value for that field because that was the only way to realise a sequance of trigger firing. If you put 4.5 value (in a master-detail structured form), WHEN-CREATE-RECORD fires, and then WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE when you jump from master to detail block. I need that because I use copying a new value of some items from master to detail block at the time of transition between them. If you omit 4.5 value, you have a firing just WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE, without a firing WHEN-CREATE-RECORD.
Now in Forms9i we don't have such field (Runtime Compatibility Mode property), so I don't have first scenario. It's a significant problem for my forms!
Have anyone got an explaination or suggestion for this? Thank you in advance!!!

This is yet another reason why we encourage customers to never fall too far behind. The further you are from the current version, the more difficult it will be to upgrade. In most cases, new major releases (at least for Forms/Reports) are only released once every 2-4 years (approximately). Therefore, if you planned to stay within 2 major releases of the current, you might only be upgrading once every 6 years or so. This seem fairly reasonable and would make the process much easier. So, for example, if the current version is 11gR2, you should be on at least 10 as these versions are about 6 years apart. Trying to get from 4.5 (and you didn't mention exactly which 4.5.x) will expectedly require more effort and time than if you were already on 6 or 9 or 10.
If you are coming from non-web versions (pre-6.0.8), our recommendation is that you stop at Forms 6i (6.0.8) and get your application working here before moving forward. Major code and any GUI design changes should be done at this level. The application should be verified to work correctly before continuing. Following the 6i to 11g Upgrade Guide previously mentioned will make this process a little easier because it will tell you what needs to be changed (if anything). Once your application complies with the changes mentioned in the Guide, moving from 6 to 11 should be mostly simple. The biggest issue will be getting users accustomed to the application now that you have gone from a character mode or client/server interface to web. But since the functionality of the application will be mostly the same, for the users, it will be mostly just about getting used to the app looking different.
Something else to consider is that there are various organizations that can assist you with the upgrade. For example Oracle Consulting and Oracle Partners. These groups often have utilities to help identify the problem areas you mentioned as well as other application analysis tools.

Dear All
I would like to achieve the Runtime Compatibility Mode in Forms 10g, is there any work around to do this. Kindly let me know. This is little bit argent

Thank for your reply Bernd
I need to achieve the same functionaliy in 6i, the scenario is like this,
i have a madatory item and i will set the runtime compatibility mode 4.5 then at runtime i can able to leave the filed empty if i press the SHIFT+TAB key, if i press tab or enter key alone the error message should be displayed "Field must be entered" , this is functionality is working fine in 6i forms if you set the Runtime Compatibility Mode is 4.5.
but this is not heppening in 10g forms, because we have the same source in 6i whenever there is a need we will compile it with 10g template and give to the customer, now its not working so its creating big trouble.
i have seen something in meta link but that is not feesible. pls do the need ful
Thanks

Runtime compatibility?

I hope someone can help me to answer this question:
Forms Runtime Compatibility mode is set to 4.5, how can I change the setting to 5.0?

You can set Form Module property Runtime Compatibility Mode to 5.0.

Runtime problems after migrating from Flex3 to 4 in compatibility mode

We are migrating our Flex-3.2 application to Flex 4.1, mainly to take advantage of the new text flow/engine features. In a first step we decided to go with compiling for MX-only and in Flex-3-compatibility mode.
Thanks to some helpful resources (
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flexbuilder3_to_flashbuilder4.html
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1563482/any-flex-4-migration-experience
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex3and4_differences_02.html
) I am able to compile our application.
But I find myself surprised about the amount of runtime differences ranging from the problem that I cannot cast ResultEvent.currentTarget to HTTPService ( which apparently was introduced in 3.5 ) to many layout problems to differences in event dispatching ( e.g. one of our legacy components listens to the add event which it just doesn't seem to get anymore ).
It seems there is very little documentation on this. I'd like to find a list with detailed changes so that we don't have to rely on QA to stumble across hopefully all issues.
This documents lists some, but doesn't seem exhaustive.
Does someone have a better list of documented changes from SDK 3.2 to 4.1?
Thanks
Stefan
PS. Concrete example of one surprising change:
In Flex 4:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
    xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" layout="absolute" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
    <fx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    private function notFired():void
    trace("ADDED");
    private function fired():void
    trace("COMPLETE");
    ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <mx:TextArea add="notFired();" creationComplete="fired();"/>
    </mx:Application>
Now do the same in Flex 3 and you'll see both events fire.

The add event is a bug.

Chart causing error 1009 when enabling compatibility mode in Flash Builder 4

Hello.
I'm trying to use the chart components in Flash Builder 4. I'm using Flex SDK 4, but had to turn on the "Flex 3 compatibility mode" for some off-topic reasons.
I simply created a new application and copied the code from the DateTimeAxis class example: http://www.codigoactionscript.org/langref/as3/mx/charts/DateTimeAxis.html#includeExamplesS ummary
When running the example, the following error is reported (sorry, it is in italian: it's simply the "null object" error):
TypeError: Error #1009: Impossibile accedere a una proprietà o a un metodo di un riferimento oggetto null.
at mx.charts.chartClasses::CartesianChart/updateMultipleAxesStyles()[E:\dev\4.0.0\frameworks \projects\datavisualization\src\mx\charts\chartClasses\CartesianChart.as:2598]

at mx.managers::LayoutManager/doPhasedInstantiationCallback()[E:\dev\4.0.0\frameworks\projec ts\framework\src\mx\managers\LayoutManager.as:1072]
Is there a solution to this bug? We really need to use charts AND keep the Flex 3 compatibility mode.

I use SDK 4.1 but I also get the error: (Flashbuilder 4.0.1 in Flex 3 compatibility mode)
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Problem losing Compatibility Mode in migrating to 9i

I am currently working on migrating a large number of forms to 9i. Some of these forms were created by Designer 2 for Forms 4.5 and have been manually maintained over the years and are currently running client-server under Forms 6i. However, many of them have the Forms Compatibility Mode set to 4.5. In preparation for the step to 9i, I am updating the forms under 6i, replacing deprecated builtins that are not included in 9i, etc, and changing the Compatibility mode up to 5.0 (9i does not have a compatibity mode property).
I have come across a problem with one form which does not operate correctly when I switch off Compatibility Mode 4.5. It has 4 blocks in a simple master-detail-subdetail-subsubdetail structure. The Copy Value From Item property is used to deal with the foreign keys. Querying and scrolling through records works perfectly. However, on creating a new record in the second level, the subdetail blocks do not pick up the new key values, but retain the last values they held. With Compatibility Mode 4.5 set, the form works perfectly.
I have read through Metalink and found the differences between 4.5 and 5.0 and can not see anything that would cause this behaviour. Has anyone else experienced anything similar please?
Ian Morgan

OK, I can answer my own problem now. The form had a When-Validate-Item trigger on the lowest level block which apparently fired before the Copy Value From Item takes effect in 5.0 Mode, but must be the other way around in 4.5 Mode.
I moved the When-Validate-Item trigger code into a When-Validate-Record trigger instead, and now it works as required.

Can I set the "step run mode" -property with the property loader

Is it possible to set the "step run mode"-property by using the property loader to "Skip" , "Normal" or "Force PASS" ...in TestStand 3.0 ?

I turned on Station Options>>Preferences>>Show Hidden Properties and then exported the Step.TS.Mode property to a limits file. I then added a PropertyLoader step and it functioned correctly.
Note that importing a hidden TS subproperty makes an edit to the sequence file, even if done at runtime. Thus if you later save the file, you might end up inadvertently saving the last imported values. This isn't necessarily a problem if the values in the file are always overwritten by a property loader step.
(btw, I tested this in 4.0, but I'm hopeful it would also work in 3.0)

Use 11.1.1.5 compatibility mode

Hi. In BI Publisher Administration Panel - Runtime Proprerties, there is an "Use 11.1.1.5 compatibility mode".
What means this function?
Thanks, R.

EPM 11.1.2.1 is certified with 10.3.5.6+
To be honest if you are using 10.3.5.x then it worth patching the latest patch releases as many bugs have been addressed.

How to set Compatibility Mode for a single site in ie10

This question was originally posted on the Answers forum -
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie10-windows_7/how-to-set-compatibility-mode-for-a-single-site-in/187152e3-142a-4d96-8d1b-af82ef571eec
I am having problem with getting ie10 to set ie9 compatibility for a single site (sharepoint.contoso.com).
When I add this website in Compatibility View Settings (Alt > Tools > Compatibility View Settings > 'Add this Website') it adds the domain 'contoso.com' and not the individual website (sharepoint.contoso.com).
This cause other sites (www.contoso.com) to be configured to use compatibility mode. Because this is a separate site (different web server) to the site sharepoint.contoso.com (sharepoint 2010 server) we need different compatibility settings.
Using a different example to explain the issue -
Microsoft has three websites that are different websites created by different developers written in different programming languages and they only work with certain browsers.
microsoft.com (Website1 created by Developer1) - compatible with ie8/ie9/ie10
msdn.microsoft.com (Website2 created by Developer2) - compatible with ie8/ie9
technet.microsoft.com (Website3 website created by Developer3) - compatible only with ie10
The only thing the three website share is the URL contains 'microsoft.com'.
Marking 'msdn.microsoft.com' to run in compatibility mode affects the other 2 websites - mainly technet.microsoft.com which will not work now since it only runs in pure ie10 mode.
Should you be able to add an individual site to the compatibility list instead of all sites that have .microsoft.com in the URL? Am I missing a simple setting in the ie10?
As a workaround I am using the F12 Developer Tools to set the Browser Mode which temporary sets the compatibility mode. However this is not a nice solution to the end users at our organisation.

Oh! I wrote it wrong: I should have said: This is not solved for NON-AD environments. No demands what so ever to use Window 7/8 professional in a small corporation or on a big corporation with Island of smaller departments for example offshore.
The problem is that the thread is not "Answered" by the OP, its is marked answered by a moderator (and same moderator that did the answer) so no way of telling if the OP is satisfied.
But you are right in the fact that I am almost kidnapping the thread. But a complete answer would benefit all in this case I would presume.

Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode?

Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode? Particularly when I have to do it before I turn on iTunes.

Will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with SharePoint 2013 sites hosted in SP2010 compatibility mode?

We are planning a upgrade of a SP2010 farm to 2013. There has been a bit of customization so we wish to run the old sites on the new SP2013 platform in SP2010 compatibility mode.
So my question is will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with the old sites hosted in compatibility mode?
I found a similar query from March 2014 found here
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/93101/office-web-apps-2010-running-on-sharepoint-2013-for-compatibility-mode-sites/116281#116281
Has there been an update released to resolve this
Cheers D

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you need to know whether Office Web Apps 2013 is working with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode.
For my test, Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode is working fine.
Thanks,

Getting error message that states itunesexe has been set to run in compatibilty mode for an older versions of windows for best results turn off compatibility mode for itunes before you open it .How do i turn off compatibility mode?

recieved error message that states" itunes exe has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older versions of windows for best results turn off compatibility mode for itunes before you open it. How do i access compatibility mode and turn it off ? Believe i have Windows 7.

Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):
iTunes for Windows: How to turn off Compatibility Mode

As a follow up from my recent question, I turned off the compatibility mode under all and regular, clicked out ok, ok then then went to itunes and played a song as they said to, and then tried to open the store and STILL CANNOT OPEN STORE, please Help!!!

Turning off the compatibility mode by deselecting the check box under each thing that it wants did nothing for my access to the itunes store, still a white page with "itunes store" in the middle of it. This is getting rediculous! Someone with computer smarts please help, I am at the end of my rope!

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

TS3299 opticals drive disappeared in my Windows 8 computer. After 1-1/2 on the phone this was corrected but now my Itunes don't recognize the drive. Error message stating registry errors. I tried running in windows 7 compatibility mode that don't

Purchased a new Ipad for my wife and integrated it with my windows 7 system and Itunes and made it through. Was able to sync and bring pictures, contacts and bookmarks over. Not to say it was easy because I never used any Apple product except my Ipad and Itunes. Really enjoyed using the Ipad and was thinking of getting a new Iphone this week being my contract is up.
Then the trouble began I bought a new windows 8 system after having trouble with my old hard drive. I have finances and Tax programs I use that I thought would be easier to continue using windows rather than trying integrating past years Quicken & Turbo Tax information into a new Apple system.
Well now I'm sorry I bought the new windows 8 system. First all my optical drives disappeared when installing itunes. After spending 1-1/2 on the phone with a service rep and finally was able to see my optical drive I thought everything was OK. Then more trouble. When I open Itunes I receive an error message that says my Itunes no longer recognizes my optical drive try reinstalling. I reinstalled 10 times and tried compatibility mode and the end result is my Itunes no longer could burn Cd's. I had this problem if I'm not mistaken in the past with ME system back many years ago. And did not want to go through this again but here I am disgusted once again.

I finally got my nano working (no thanks to Apple, hmpf!) and it's running fine with 1.0.2 now. For those with similiar problems try this:
+For Mac, you need to:+
+1. Downgrade to firmware 1.0.1 by deleting the files iPod_26.1.0.2.ipsw and iPod_26.1.0.2.ipsw.signature (are in the folder iPod software updates somewhere on the harddisk)+
+2. under Settings in iTunes you have to disable automatic download of updates, then restart iTunes.+
+3. Enter Disc Mode by holding menu & select for about ten seconds, then pressing play/pause & select for another ten seconds.+
+4. reconnect your nano to Reset, and when iTunes prompts to update, just don't allow it to look for updates and then reset with fw 1.0.1.+
I'm supriced Apple support didn't tell me about this? This worked great and is a very fast fix. I can't believe Apple got me to reinstall the whole OS, which didn't even solve it btw. USB 1, blah! Yeah right..

Firefox will not open unless I run it in compatibility mode (Windows XP SP 3), run it as an administrator, or launch it immediately after a reinstall (the reinstall thing only works once.) How do I fix this?

This morning, Firefox crashed. After this, when I click the Firefox icon, the hourglass appears and then nothing happens. Firefox does briefly appear in the task manager when I do this.
I tried rebooting. I tried reinstalling multiple times. (Firefox will run when I select "Launch Firefox" from the installer. Then the problem occurs again.) I tried safe mode. I have found that Firefox will work if I select Windows XP compatibility mode from the icon properties menu or if I run the program as an administrator. When I do this, Windows asks me if I want a program to be able to make changes to my computer.
I have noticed that a Windows Error Report is being generated each time Firefox will not open.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
