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.

Error after upgrading BI Publisher report from 10g to 11g

Hi All,
I have migrated the BI Publisher from 10g to 11g. The upgrade was done using the upgrade assistant and the installation process was a success.
However whenever I try to access the reports in 11g after migration I get the following error:
oracle.xdo.servlet.CreateException: Data Model definition not found:/dlypurge.xdm.
I have tried modifying the .xdo to include the following:
<dataModel url="/RMS/dlypurge/dlypurge.xdm"/> where dlypurge is one of the reports. However in the BI Publisher does not seem to access the latest .xdo file.
Any suggestions on how to rectify the error.

Oracle Forms & Reports 6i using 11g database

Hello All,
We are in the process of upgrading our Oracle db to 11g, yet use client/server configuration for Oracle Forms & Reports. We were able to make this scenario work.
But, encountering one problem. When we invoke a/any report from the application's report menu it is prompting for login again ( that wasn't happening before ).
Is this a known issue? Are ther any work-a-rounds for this issue, if so, please suggest.

Sounds like a problem with case-sensitive passwords. there are several forum-posts about that problem. Start here

Upgrading Oracle forms 6i to 11g

Hi,
We are planning to upgrade our application, currently on oracle forms 6i to oracle forms 11g
Would need help to analyze what are the issues we may face after the upgrade has been done.
Our team will not be upgrading the forms (upgrade would be done by a separate oracle team). We just will have to fix the issues which may have been caused after the migration.
Please help

Installation Guidance (WebLogic 10.3.5 / Oracle Forms,Reports 11.1.1.6)

Goal : I am a designer/developer, have worked on already-installed systems for years, now between contracts and want/need to set up my own installation of Oracle Database 11g R2 database and development tools including Oracle Forms/Reports 11g (also SQL Developer and Application Express, but these come with the DB).
Caveat : have not done an installation of the DB and development tools for years and I know a lot has changed.
System : Windows 7 (64 bit), 6 GB RAM, 600 GB Hard Drive
Here is an overview of the steps as I understand them from the documentation I've been able to find. I know there are lots of details for each step but I want to know if the overall order is right.
1. Install DB (downloaded Oracle 11G Release 2, ready to install Enterprise Edition).
2. Install Repository Creation Utility 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5.0) to set up the schemas for Fusion Middleware
** QUESTION ** where on earth does one find this? Anyone have a link for it? Or does it come with a larger patchset/installation set?
3. Install Oracle WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.5)
4. Install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer Release 11g (11.1.1.2.0) but do not configure (advice given in documentation for 11.1.1.6 Patchset)
5. Install and Configure 11.1.1.6 Patchset
Any comments or suggestions welcome. Hope to avoid pitfalls if possible.
Thanks in advance !
Peter

Oracle forms & reports support on oracle 10g lite

Currently our oracle forms & reports 6i application works on oracle 8i database with oracle 9i lite.
We upgraded our database to oracle 9i r2 and lite to 10gr2.
After publishing the application when i try to open the application the forms screen disappears for ever.
I wanted to know whether oracle forms and reports 6i is supported on
oracle 10g lite r2?
Thanks,
Ashok Kumar.G

No. Not only it isn't certified, but it is also impossible to run forms compiled with the 11g compiler with the 10g runtime. For 11g there is a install bundle for the developer suite / application server.
cheers

Need information about Oracle Forms & Reports server installation

Hello Friends,
First of all I am very new user for oracle forums, So please ignore if I posted wrong place.
We are using Oracle Database 10g and Oracle forms & Reports server 6i version.
We just purchased oracle forms & reports (currently known as a Oracle Fusion middleware) license. As per my knowledge latest version doesn't support Oracle 10g database.
My question is can somebody give me Oracle Database 10g supported Forms & Reports version?
We are planning to upgrade.
Help would be really appreciated.
Thanks & Regards.

Thanks a lot for prompt response.
I get my answer from your certification matrix. I appreciate your response.
Now second question arise that We are using currently Database version of 10.2.0.1.0.
And in a certification matrix shows supported version Oracle 10.2.0.4+.
Now I am bit confused that currently working database supports or not?
Still i am trying to install on My window 2008 R2 with IIS 7.0.
Let me check what happens.
Again Thanks a lot to ccortez and PaulM for your quick response and help.

-- To implement the solution, please execute the following steps::
Run adadmin option Recreate Grants and Synonyms.
Verify that the synonym HZ_PARTY_RELATIONSHIPS is created.
Run adadmin to compile invalid objects.
Run adadmin to regenerate the forms.
After you have updated to Release 12.0.4, perform the following post-update steps to update all database tier nodes with the code level provided by RUP4:
Application tier:
* As the APPLMGR user, run the environment (UNIX) or the command (WINDOWS) file for the current APPL_TOP.
UNIX
. ./<APPL_TOP>/APPS<CONTEXT_NAME>.env
Windows
<APPL_TOP>\envshell<CONTEXT_NAME>.cmd
* Run AutoConfig on the APPL_TOP.
* Run the admkappsutil.pl utility to create the file appsutil.zip in the <INST_TOP>/admin/out directory.
perl <AD_TOP>/bin/admkappsutil.pl
Note: For details on how to run AutoConfig and create appsutil.zip, refer to Using AutoConfig to Manage System Configurations in Oracle Applications Release 12 (Doc ID: 387859.1).
* Copy or FTP the appsutil.zip file to the <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>.
* Uncompress appsutil.zip under the <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>.
cd <ORACLE_HOME> unzip -o appsutil.zip
* Run AutoConfig on the <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>.
Note: For details on how to run AutoConfig on the database tier and how to transfer the AutoConfig updates from the APPL_TOP to the RDBMS ORACLE_HOME, refer to Using AutoConfig to Manage System Configurations in Oracle Applications Release 12 (Doc ID: 387859.1), Section 2, Step 3, Patching AutoConfig.
Database tier and application tier:
Re-run adpreclone.pl on the database tier and the applications tier. Since updates included in RUP4 were applied to the system, adpreclone must be run again in order to apply the updates to the clone directory structures used during cloning.
perl adpreclone.pl dbTier
perl adpreclone.pl appsTier

Migrating report from 6i to 11g

Is modification to be done in the above code?
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
as stated before if the desname value is pointing to the client filesystem it wont create the output there because Reports Server is not running on the client, it is running on the server as this is the way it is.
If you want to save output to the client you need to use the options mentioned before.
For testing purposes only change your code as follows.
e.g
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESNAME',TEXT_PARAMETER, 'c:\'||vACNAME||' '||:BLOCK50.DOCDATE||'.PDF') ;
As you can see I changed the original folder name to C:\ .. (I hope your reports serve is running on a Windows machine if not then changed to /tmp). Run your form and check c:\ or /tmp and see if you see the report output there. If so,
than your code is fine the only problem is what I have already stated.

Replacement for 10g Forms&Reports standalone server in 11g?

is there a replacement for the 10g Forms&Reports standalone server in 11g environment? Without the need to install Metadata Repository?
thx, florian.
Edited by: fschulze on Oct 16, 2009 1:12 PM

I believe you can install the equivalent in Forms 11g.
If you don't install Portal or Discoverer, then you are not required to install any Metadata repository.
So the steps would be:
1) Install Weblogic Server 11g
2) Install Forms and Report Services 11g
How will you call reports from forms though?

Oracle Portal, Application Express, Oracle Forms/Reports 10g - which one?

Hi,
I have Oracle 10g database and Application Express installed on one linux box.
second linux box has Oracle HTTP server running from where i call the htmldb pages.
3rd linux box has Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 installed along with SSO, Portal 10.1.4 , Forms Server etc.
Now, i see there are 3 ways i can develop web applications
1. using Application Express and http server which is very basic and simple.
2. using Oracle Forms/Reports 10g and forms/reports server
3. Oracle Portal 10.1.4 in Application Server 10.1.2
Can someone guide me, which one of the above 3 is worth sticking on forever for developing web applications. i am really not sure which one of the above is best for Web developement in terms of long term planning. and i believe all 3 of the above can be integrated with Oracle SSO for authentication.
Can someone guide me please to select one of the above and can you explain me why for my better understanding of the different tools?
Thanks,
Philip.

Hi Philip.
If you already have Oracle Portal, I think that portal is the best solution.
Portal can be integrated with others applications using SSO.
Oracle portal have a lot of features that help you to develop web applications.
If portal does not offer what you want, you can develop your own portlets using java or plsql.
Take a look at the default home page of oracle portal.
Look better the features that portal offer to you.
