Technical Document (Exact Procedures) To Migrate Forms/Reports 9i to 10g

Hi;
Where can i find the Technical Document (Exact Procedures) To Migrate Forms/Reports 9i to 10g?

This seems to be a common point of confusion. The "FMw Upgrade Assistant" is a utility which helps you to upgrade the entire Application Server installation to a newer version (e.g. 11.1.x). This has nothing to do with your Forms (fmb, mmb, pll, etc) or Reports (rep, rdf, etc) applications. Generally speaking, I would say that using the UA is not necessary and likely should not be used in most cases. Cases where it should be used might include a situation where your previous version has been significantly customized and you don't know how or don't want to make the same customization in the new environment manually. Whether you are talking about a new product (Oracle or not) or even a new OS, generally your best bet is to start with a clean, new installation. Attempting to upgrade an existing version always comes with problems. Just one man's opinion ;-)
As for your Forms application(s), there is a Forms Migration Assistant (FMA), explained in the Forms Upgrade Guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/doc.11120/e24478/toc.htm
That said, just like using UA, it is always better to take the extra time and not rely on such tools if they can be avoided. In most cases, the FMA will not be needed. This is especially true if your application is coming from version 10. For older versions, using FMA might be beneficial.
So, to the point, in order to move a Forms application (fmb, mmb, pll) from version 10 to 11 is as simply as recompiling your modules using the v11 compiler. That's it ;-)

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:

Oracle Doc 207396.1 has some information too.

Migrating from Forms/Reports 6i to 10G

Hi all
I'm trying to migrate my application, developped using forms and reports 6i to 10G.
Could someone please give me the list of functions/procedures deprecated in the 10G that was used in 6i? I've no access to metalink.
this would help me replace the deprecated instructions in 6i by the equivalent ones in 10G.
Thanks for your help
Regards

Hi,
see otn.oracle.com/products/forms
From here you find a link pointing to the Forms upgrade center

Forms/Reports 6i to 10g migration process

Hello !
I will start a process in order to migrate our currently Forms/Reports 6i application to Oracle DS 10g (Forms/Reports 10g). What I need to know in order to begin this process.
For example: What Oracle Application Server my customers needs to buy ? and about licenses that they need to have ?
Can someone give me a initial direction ?
Tank you

I would recommend using 10g Release 2 which is version 10.1.2.
You will need Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2 for development and application maintenance needs. This distribution includes a light weight http listener used for testing applications while being developed. This light weight listener is not supported for multi-user access or production deployment.
You will need Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 for deployment. If you only plan to use Forms and Reports and do not need additional security features or Identity Management (SSO, OID, etc), you can use the Forms/Reports Services distribution which is smaller than the complete Application Server installation. Refer to the following for more information:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10g/FormsReportsServicesInstallation.htm
This document refers to version 9.0.4 but mostly still applies to 10.1.2.
Do not attempt to use versions newer than 10.1.2 as they do NOT support Forms or Reports.
Additional Forms upgrade information can be found here:

Migration from Reports 6i to 10G

Hi,
I have migrated my forms from 6i to 10g. Everything is working fine except reports.
(Im calling reports from my menu modules using run_product builtin).
Now i need the steps to migrate the reports from 6i to 10G.
Good Help will be appreciated.
Regards
Sankar.M.N

hi,
instead of run_product you hav to use web.showdocument
migrate your from from which you are clling report
it will add report-object and rp2rro lib to your form
and then change your function
like this
PROCEDURE call_report IS
          pi_id paramlist;
          alrt_var number;
          repid report_object;
          rep_path varchar2(200);
          vc_reportserverjob varchar2(100);
          report_job_id varchar2(100);
          v_rep_status varchar2(100);
begin
     repid := find_report_object('RP2PRO');
     rep_path:=*path of ypur report*;
     set_report_object_property(repid,report_filename,rep_path);
     set_report_object_property(repid,report_server,*report_server_name*);
     set_report_object_property(repid,report_execution_mode,RUNTIME);
     set_report_object_property(repid,report_comm_mode,SYNCHRONOUS);
     set_report_object_property(repid,report_destype,cache);
     set_report_object_property(repid,report_desformat,'pdf');
     pi_id := get_parameter_list('it_param');
     if      not Id_null(pi_id) then
          destroy_parameter_list(pi_id);
     end if;
     pi_id := create_parameter_list('it_param');
     add_parameter*(your_parametrer here*
     add_parameter(pi_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
     vc_reportserverjob := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid, pi_id);
     report_job_id:=substr(vc_reportserverjob,length(*report_server_name*)+2,length(vc_reportserverjob));
     v_rep_status:=report_object_status(vc_reportserverjob);
     if v_rep_status='FINISHED' then
          web.show_document('http://'||*host_name*||':'||*port_name*||'/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||report_job_id||'?server='||*report_server_name*,'_blank');
     else
          message ('error when running report'||v_rep_status);
     end if;
end;
END;

Migration: Oracle reports 6i to 10g issue - Diiference in the data

Gudmorning everybody,
We are doing a Oracle reports migration from oracle reports 6i to oracle reports 10g.
I am facing a problem in the output generated ny the reports.
I have to generate a CSV file in 6i and similarly in 10g. Both the reports are hitting the same database but still it is
showing some difference in the count generated in the report.
Its a report where it compares the data from the web and data from the application and gives a count for the each row.
In the CSV creation procedure TABLE TYPe is used. I am not very good in Oracle procedures.
Do u guys have faced similar situation? Not every data is different,some of the count is diff even though both the reports are hitting the same database.
Anybody suggest me a solution. It will b really helpful. This happens when I am a giving 6 mnths date range. When it is 15 days range it shows proper output.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Raneesh.

Report 6i vs 10g

I have migrated from reports 6i to 10g. In reports 6i, we have a report previwer which give exactly as how we design in the report builder and we are able to print as it is.
But in 10g we have different destination format & type. Which is the best format to use.
I have used html, but my reports has line formating etc, which are not appearing in html.
I have tried pdf , format are almost same, but orientation is wrong. My report orientation is landscape. but printing it is going to potrait mode. every time i have to select landscape mode. Where as the same report is correctly printing in 6iver.
Please suggest a best report format.

I don't think there is a "best report format". Id depends on what you want to achieve. Instaed of html you could use htmlcss, this provides html-output with extended layour options. For printing, pdf (in my opinion) is the best format. About your problem with always having to choose the correct orientation, there is an option in pdf-viewer to "always take the best fitting paper", this should solve your issue.

T-code or SAP Table Sales report based on Document Pricing Procedure

Hi Experts,
Please suggest me some SAP Standard T-code or Sales Report based on Document Pricing Procedure and Sales Area.
Or suggest me SAP Table for the above mentioned combination. Thanks in advance.
With Best Regards,
Bharat B

Hi
There is no standard t code available. You have to go for Zee using the below tables
first you need to get the VBAK-KALSM(Pricing procedure)or VBRK-KALSM next you have to pass the VBAK-KALSM to table T683V-KALSM(field) now you will get all the Document Pricing Procedures (KALVG) assigned to these pricing procedures along with sales area.
So using these tables you can get the required data.
regards
Prashanth

Migrating 6i forms / reports to 10g (Urgent)

Hi,
We have 6i versions of forms and reports running in a client/server environment, and are planning to upgrade them to 10g. I need to give an estimate to my manager on the effort involved in migrating the existing objects to 10g.
To provide an estimate:
1. Is installing Oracle Forms 10g (10.1.2) sufficient to convert and test my existing forms?
2. Is installing Oracle Reports 10g (10.1.2) sufficient to convert and test my existing reports?
Or, do I also need Oracle Application Server 10g installed to go with the above?
My intention is to initially acquire the Forms/Reports 10g tools to see how much work is involved (without having Oracle AS in place). Is this possible?
Any help is very much appreciated.
Regards,
Praveen

hy,
1. Is installing Oracle Forms 10g (10.1.2) sufficient to convert and test my existing forms?
yes
2. Is installing Oracle Reports 10g (10.1.2) sufficient to convert and test my existing reports?
it's enough compiler on 10.1.2
Or, do I also need Oracle Application Server 10g installed to go with the above?
you don't need oas, or from oas 10, it's need only forms and report server,no infrastruc

yes,as above

Migrating DESKI Reports (Stored Procedures) from 6x to XI 3.1

I am migrating DESKI reports based off of Stored procedures from a 6x environment to XI 3.1
I have created a new OLE DB connection pointing to the new SQL server.
I need to find out how to point my report to the new connection.
I have seen in that in case of DESKI reports using universes, I can go to Data Manager --> Definition tab and point to my new universe there.
But in case of stored procedure report, that option is not available.
Can someone let me know how to go about migrating these reports which are pointing to Stored Procedures.
Thanks

Note that I have never done it.
But I heard you could create a new universe with a derived table. In the SQL of the derived table you can call the stored procedure. The connection of that new universe is your stored procedure connection.
Build you report with that new universe, using the derived table.
