Upgradation from Oracle 8i Forms/Reports to Oracle 11g Forms/Reports

Dear all, is it possible to upgrade our in-house developed ERP from 8i to 11g directly ?
If possible then please tell me the procedures,cost etc. for the same.
Is ORACLE provides training for the same ?
Its' urgent please!

Hi Sukhvinder,
ERP or not ... it must be an application using a database.
If your application is created with Forms you can upgrade a 6.0.8 Forms (+) --- directly ---> to 11g.
For a lower version you need to pass through an intermediate version: lower than 6.0.8 Forms ----> 10.1.2 -----> 11g.
You can take a look at http://www.in-oracle.com/Oracle-Middleware/OAS/oracle-forms-11g.php as well for more details.

It should work. You can use live upgrade method but needed some space. If upgrade fails ( should not be ) you can always revert back to original setup.
But be ready for installation of same version of Oracle , if needed. No need to say backup is must for OS and Oracle.
You should well aware SMF before upgrdation.

Upgrading from RedHat 3 to 4 with Oracle 9.2.0.8

I am currently running Oracle 9.2.0.8 on RedHat 3. We need to upgrade to RedHat 4 for other application library issues. Is there anything I need to do to our database to prepare for this change or to check and make sure we won't have any issues after the OS upgrade?
Thanks!

You need to relink Oracle.
IIRC correctly, in 9.2.0.8 there is relink shell script.

We have tried to apply note 1442501 but we still get the error. We have upgrade all our landscape without any issue, of course this issue is in our production system. If you have any suggestions, that would be great.
Thanks
Jean Seguin

Hi Jean,
Did you delete the table KMC_WF_SUBSTITUTE from the database directly and retry the update?
Also try updating only the UWLJWF first after dropping the table, as suggested in the blog:

Does upgrading from 2003 to 2010 require a verify database on reports?

Hello,
I am working on upgrading an application from VS 2003 .Net 1.1 to VS 2010 .Net 4.0. I have installed the SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010. After doing this I found that reports that had worked with .net 1.1 now do not work. When in the code, after loading a report and the printing
such as
Dim crDoc As New ReportDocument
crDoc.Load(strTemplatePath & strFile)
SetConnectionInfo(crCon, crDoc)
SetParameters(crDoc, parameters)
crDoc.PrintOptions.PrinterName = Me.strPrinter
crDoc.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 0, 0)
When the document goes to PrintToPrinter i receive an error message like 'Error in file blahblah.rpt: The table could not be found'. If I do a verify database on the report in question it will print correctly. However there are quite a few reports. Is a verify database expected after upgrading to .Net 4.0? Thanks for you help and have a great day!

Hello,
Typically when moving to one version change it's not required but in your case CR 9 was the version in 2003 and lots of DB changes to both CR and the Db Client engines.
So yes in this case you should Verify the database. You can do this once using a test, save an update flag in the SummaryInfo page, same as in the Designer when you click on File SummaryInfo. You can read/write to the comments and then test if a SaveAs or Export to RPT format was done. This will update the RPT format and connection info. So if it's updated then simply setting the user name and password is all that is required or even less if you have enabled Trusted Authentication.
Also, now that you have updated to CR for VS 2010 I highly recommend you start using RAS rather than the CR Basic which uses the Engine. You can still use both but the Engine and it's functions are not updated. If any updates or features added it will always be in RAS.
Also highly recommended is to use the PrintOutputController to print your reports rather than using PrintToPrinter....

Screen Print and report print in 11g Forms

Hi,
I have created a popup menu in forms 11g which has a label print screen.
When user clicks on it, it is supposed to bring up the list of printers that user has on his PC, so that they can choose the printer where they want to print to.
Do I need to use webutil for it? or is there any other way?.
Thanks
Munish

If you plan on printing from the client your only options are to use WebUtil or write your own java bean.
That said, if you are generating the labels using Reports, why not generate to a pdf file? If you coded your form properly, the pdf will open on the client side in something like Acrobat Viewer. If they want to print it they can click on the "Print" button in PDF viewer.
If you really want to make it complicated and present a list of printers and allow them to pick one then send the job to the printer, this will take some effort. Here are some starter tips assuming the client will always be Windows based:
You can get the current default printer like this:
-- More registry info for printing can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/102966
Declare
 rtn_Registry varchar2(255);
 rtn_defaultPrinter varchar2(255);
Begin
 rtn_Registry := CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows','Device');
 rtn_defaultPrinter := substr(rtn_Registry,1,instr(rtn_Registry,',',1)-1);
 message (rtn_defaultPrinter); -- This is the name of the default printer
End;Some printer properties and preferences can be called with something like this:
-- More details here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q189105/
Declare
 my_cmd varchar2(255);
 rtn_Registry varchar2(255);
 rtn_defaultPrinter varchar2(255);
Begin
-- Get default printer
 rtn_Registry := CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows','Device');
 rtn_defaultPrinter := substr(rtn_Registry,1,instr(rtn_Registry,',',1)-1);
 -- Printer default preferences
 my_cmd := 'rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /e /n "'|| rtn_defaultPrinter ||'"';
 -- Printer properties
-- my_cmd := 'rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /p /n "'|| rtn_defaultPrinter ||'"';
 -- Printer queue
-- my_cmd := 'rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /o /n "'|| rtn_defaultPrinter ||'"';
 If rtn_defaultPrinter IS NULL Then
 Message('Default printer not detected.');
 Message('Default printer not detected.');
 RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
 End if;
 SYNCHRONIZE;
 CLIENT_HOST(my_cmd);
End;The complete list of installed printers can be found in the Registry here:
<blockquote>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers</blockquote>
Take a look at this java bean example used to help print to the local printer from Forms.

Upgrade from BPEL 10.1.3.5 to 11g

Dear Folks,
What is the correct process to upgrade 10g BPEL processes to 11g system.
Is there any process suggested by Oracle? Please share your ideas.
Appreciate your help.

Hi,
We have performed this task recently and it was quite simple.
All we did was open the 10g jpr file in the 11g version of JDeveloper. JDeveloper then prompted if we wanted to imigrate the files to 11g. We pressed Yes and it was all done.
Then we went into the composite.xml file and updated the endpoints and WSDL locations as required.
All I noticed was the all the transformation files (xsl) were all in the project folder rather than in the xsl folder.

Upgrading from 8.1.7.4 to 10.2

We are plannig a upgrade from 8.1.7.4 to 10.2 soon, I would like to heard from some issues or problems that you have had.
Any comments or recomendations will be welcome too!
Best regards, Luis

>>f you to use DBUA then you need first upgrade to Oracle Database 9.0.1 ---> Oracle Database 9.2.
No,You u don't need to upgarde to 9i,Direct upgradation from 8.1.7.4 to oracle 10g rel 2 is supported..
so now its your choice to use exp/imp or DBUA tool for upgradation.it also depend on ur database size and downtime.anyway but dbua or manual upgardation by script will takes less time.
Thanks

Calling 6i reports containg oracle graphics in ias 10.1.2.0.2 from forms

Hi,
i'm having troubles calling a report containing an oracle graphics chart.
i'm using ias 10.1.2.0.2 and the corresponding forms tools. and the ias 1.0.2.2.2a isuite server.
Compiling and running the forms is not a problem and neither is caling ordinary reports. i.e reports not containing any oracle graphics. So i'm confident that my server setup is correct.
When i'm calling reports containing oracle graphics charts the reports simply hangs.
Consulting the ias server reports queue i can see that status is 'running the report, now executing pre-form trigger' and that's it. status never changes and the report never finishes.
In my ias 101202 home i've set the following environment variables:
ORACLE_GRAPHICS6I_HOME -> E:\oracle\806 which is where my oracle graphics is installed
GRAPHICS60_PATH -> e:\mastra\rep which is where i store my reports and oracle graphics charts
I keep both the .rdf file and the compiled .rep in the e:\mastra\rep directory.
Strange thing is that if i don't include the full path to the oracle graphics component in the report it's not able to find it at runtime. I can see in the reports status screeen it complains about not being able to fond the chart.
what parameter should i set so i don't have to hard code the path to the graphics chart?
If i include the full path to the chart it probably finds it because it doesn't complain but now it hangs telling me that it's running the preform trigger. and then nothing happens.
please help me cause im stuck here.
thanks for any input.

Hi Frank,
Our reports are all called from Forms...using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT in the 10g environment. We have hundreds of reports (6i based) that all work fine when run on the 10g app server. The only ones that fail to complete are those that have Graphics embedded. Yet they work just fine when run Client/Server under 6i. On the 10g app server they just run forever/get hung.
If I launch Graphic 6i Builder on the 10g App Server box, I can connect to the database without any problems. And Graphics 6i do run just fine from my 10g forms (converted from 6i Forms) on the App Server. NOTE: My Graphics 6i uses the same tnsmanes.ora and sqlnet.ora that my App Server uses (via a TNS_ADMIN setting in the Windows registry)
Is there something extra special I need to do in the report itself?
Thanks,
John

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.

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.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).
Thanks,
Hussein
