Upgrading Forms v5 to 10g web forms

Hi,
Can you upgrade directly to forms 10g from forms v5 (client server) or do you have to go to forms 6 first?
Can anybody summaries the upgrade path from v5
Thanks in anticipation

Arun is correct. Specifically to your question, see [Chapter 16 Upgrading from Pre-Forms 6i Applications to Oracle Forms |http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_02/doc/dl/web/B15572_01/plsqlconv.htm#i1007147].

I opened Adobe Acrobate XI Standard to create a form. I then selected From Template, which took me to Adobe FormsCentral Online. However, I think the form is an HTML web form. All I wanted was a regular PDF form that I could email my co-workers for an internal project we're colletively working on. Now I see that FormsCentral is going away and I can't get my doc to save as a PDF without an upgrade? Help

You should be able to log into the online Formscentral Acrobat XI air app and see your doc there. From there you would need to save it out as a PDF without a submit button to have it continue to work past July. If you don't see your online form(s) please let me know the adobeID you use to log into the service as well as the form name that is missing and I will look into it for you.

Migrating Forms 5 toForms 10g (without forms 6i) ...

Dear all,
I like to migrate Form 5 to Form 10g. I heard about the FMA(Forms Migration Assistance)... where i can use it for multiple forms...???
Also, we had used RUN_PRODUCT in many forms (to call various reports)... So how to make it available in 10g ???
Finally, we ahd also called many ProC's in forms 5.0 ... so how to deal with calling "ProC" while Migrating Forms 5 to Forms 10g ...
Thanks ...

It's not recommended to migrate from Forms 5 to 10g directly, the internal structure is completely different, you need to migrate to 6i first where you'll do all the correction needed and than migration to 10g will be very smooth.
check the [Forms Upgrade Center|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html] for more information and white papers about migrating Forms.

Converting Forms 3.0 to Web Forms

Hi,
Can I use f60cmp.exe for converting Forms 3.0 INP files into *.fmb files?
if yes, Could you also please tell me that what are all necessary steps to be taken for making the form as a web based form.
Thanks in advance,
Muthu

I appreciate your help Dunkan. your reply was very much useful.
I guess, i've mentioned wrong file name in my last posting. In forms 9i, the exe name is f90cmpm.exe (Am i correct?)
Also, When i convert the form as web form , what will be the forms user_interface? (Is it CHARMODE or GUI?)
Thanks in advance,
Muthu

Displaying icons in 10g web forms

Hi,
I was wondering if there is anyway I could use my jar file to display my images in my form. I created a jar file with images and I want to use them for my forms. The problem is other developers are using their own images from certain directories. In the registry.dat file they have a directory default.icons.iconpath=/icons/ already in place and in the .cfg file they have imageBase=DocumentBase. In my configuration for my form i put in imagebase=codebase but it seems that the other entry overrides mine because the images do not appear.Is there any way I could use my jar file to view my images without changing what other developers are using or would I have to put them in the directory with all the other ones.
thanks
Richie

Hi,
I've tried putting the jar file in the directory it mentions in the registry.dat file but that still does not work. I've also tried leaving the parameter in the .dat file blank and setting my imagebase=codebase and i am able to see the icons. My problem is that other developers are already using it using the documentbase and setting the .dat to a specific folder. I just thought there might be a way to read my jar file without interfering with the way the others are displaying their images. Its easier to have all my icons in a jar file then putting them all in a directory.
thanks
Richie

Can I customise the HTML code in an eCommerce online purchase web form?

The Adora template lets me customise the html code but then after saving the form it reverts back to the default. Can anybody tell me if I can customise this form or find where the form placeholder/HTML is located so that I can try and insert the html directly.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Brendon. Although the form is a custom web form the actual form you view is under the Registration Buy layout of eCommerce layouts.
You need to copy the html you edit from the customise web form part of the form and paste it into that Registration Buy Layout too.

Business Catalyst thinks I deleted my web form

I thought I may have found a way around Muse's weak forms implementation, by creating a web form on Business Catalyst > Site Manager > Web Forms.
I created a web form, set the email response, copied the html, inserted the HTML on a Muse page, published the site, filled out the form, and got this:
So I went back to the same page on Business Catalyst, deleted the web form I just made minutes ago, created it AGAIN from scratch, inserted the HTML in my Muse page, published it, filled out the form, and got the SAME ERROR message a second time.
I did not delete the form, but Business Catalyst thinks I did. :-(
How do I get around this "error of an ERROR?"
I noticed that there are THREE forms on BC with similar names (I only made ONE). To be sure that I'm working in the correct form, I COPIED it -- it now has the same name as before, plus the word "Copy." But when I open the copied form, all the fields are in the wrong order. I tried this several times, and this weirdness is consistent. Right now I'm really stumped on getting a decent (customized) form in Muse.
Thanks for any help.

Thank you, Vikas. That was the trick. :+)
I still don't understand what "submit a case" means, but I was able to get it to work, possibly not as you expected (?)
I had already published this site in its partially-developed state, when trying to get the form to also be published. So it was in the web page already, as the completed form.
All I did after reading your message was to go directly to businesscatalyst.com, create a new simple (unfinished) form, and then via Site Manager > Web Forms > More Actions > Add Web Form to a Web Page, choosing the contact page from my site in development.
When I opened the previously-uploaded site in my browser, the ENTIRE form was there as originally published, exactly as it was originally and formatted placed in Muse.
It works, but I confess it's about as UN-intuitive as it can be! :+)
Thanks again.

Status Line in Web Forms

I am using the static implementation of forms. I have specified
a console window in the forms property. I cannot see the status
line in version 6.0 (forms are displayed in the same frame as
static HTML). When I used version 5.0 of forms which displayed
the Web form in a new frame I got the status line but it was
always set to "Warning: Applet Window".
I like 6.0 implementation of showing the form in the same frame
but the messages in the status line is very important to my
application. Any help?
I tries adding "USESDI=YES" parameter to the static HTML, did
not make any difference. The client side looks like doing MDI
implementation because I can move my form around within the
applet window.
Thank You,
Amir

I'm developing with Forms 5.0.
With Microsoft Explorer the Frame always show the message
"Warning: Applet Window", but with Netscape Communicator 4.5 IT
WORKS!!! It always show the correct message.

Pdf form -- Web form?

I created a pdf fillable form using Acrobat 9 and imported it into FormsCentral. Everything works fine! Is it possible now to make the form fillable as a web form? That would be not just a homerun, but a grand slam for me!

Hi;
This isn't something you can do with FormsCentral, the imported PDF allows you to distribute a PDF with a Submit button that collects the data back in FormsCentral for analasys but does not provide a URL or web version of the form.
Thanks,
Josh

Dynamic row selection based on Page member selection in Planning web-form

Hello experts
I have requirement where, user dont want 10 webforms to enter 2 accounts line for various sparse members. Below is the dimension detail and web-form current design
Account - Dense
Period - Dense
Year - Sparse
Scenario - Sparse
Version - Sparse
Entity - Sparse
Product - Sparse (600 level 0 members)
Product dim has family1 as parent and 40 level 0 mem like that there are 10 family level 1 members, now to enter account member (only 2 member) for 6 years projection ( it means 12 periods and 6 years in column ) , i can build 10 web-forms with one web-form has one family level-0 mem in rows,
however my question, is how can i achieve this in one web-form, instead of 10 web-forms for 400 products ?
your help is greatly appreciated.
Edited by: 859874 on Jul 18, 2012 8:58 PM

Im not sure there is any simple way to get dynamic row selection based on what is selected in the page.
If I were designing the form based on what you have stated, I would probably stick both Account and Year in the page, and the 400 products in rows. This would require the user to select the different combinations of Year / Account, but would mean only 12 columns (instead of 72).
Alternatively you could stick Account in rows too - meaning 800 rows, but less combinations to select in Page....all depends what is deemed acceptable to the user.
Probably other approaches that may be better than above (put Product in the Page for fun!!)
Thanks

Forms 6i and 10g co-existance

Hi,
I have a machine running windows XP Pro.
Does anyone know if forms 6i and 10g (running forms services) can co-exist on the same machine? and are there any potential pitfalls (ie order of installation etc).
Thanks,
Martin

You should be able to install this ok so long as you keep them in different Oracle_homes...
At a push I would recommned installing 6i first.

Audit Intersection fails from Web Form

We have an HFM 9.3.1 application successfully integrated with FDM 9.3.1, in that when navigating to a base level intersection, which has been loaded by FDM, the audit intersection option allows a drill-through analysis to the correct FDM application / location.
This feature works perfectly OK from right clicking a grid intersection and selecting Audit Intersection. However, if a web form is used to display the same intersection and the user selects Audit Intersection the following error message is generated :-
System Error "The signed on token is no longer valid" the web screen also displays an error stating there are localization errors and that the action is empty or missing.
Repeatedly performing the same operation from data grids and web forms results in the web form audit always failing and grid audit always succeeding.
Looking at the URL parameters I can see that the two sets of actions sent to generate the FDM audit page are indeed different
I have included the source "action" parameter from the IntersectionSummarybyLocation web page. (With line breaks to aid readability)
Repeated successful Grid Audit
action="IntersectionSummaryByLocation.aspx?

It would appear that the format for characters is different and the SSO_TOKEN is differrent (although this maybe by design since the calling locations are different).
I have checked that the Grid and Web Form operations are calling the same web page encoding of Unicode (UTF-8).
Anybody got any idea why FORM functionality is failing to display the Audit Intersection?
Kind regards
Colin

Applied Patches 9.3.1.1 thru to 9.3.1.4 (latest).
Problem resolved. Audit Intersections now work from both Grid and Forms.
Incidentally, both "Action" parameters from Grid and Form are now identical including the SSO_Token.

Interesting difference in Menus between 6i (client-server) and 10g (web)

I just noticed an interesting difference between Forms 6i (client-server) and 10g (web forms). Perhaps you know a work around.
We have an oracle form with a customized menu attached. The main body of the application displays nothing so we shrunk the application window down to the tiny window possible just leaving the 3 or 4 drop down menu visible. So it was basically this little floating toolbar where users could pull down a menu and select an oracle form to open.
The difference is that in 10g Web Forms when the pull down menu is accessed, the list of selectable items is contained within the FORMS_MDI_WINDOW (or the IE window). So if the list is long then the drop down list shows a small arrow at the top and bottom that forces you to scroll thru the remaining items in the menu.
Whereas in 6i, when the menu was access the contents of the menu would show in full. Even if it meant expanding the menu beyond the FORMS_MDI_WINDOW.
Does anyone know if I'm stuck with this functionality? If I'm stuck it will mean I need to make my little menu application full screen so that users can see all the items in a menu without having to scroll thru choices using these little arrows.
Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated!

This is a consequence of the client being Java. When you run a Java application in a browser it cannot draw outside the browser window area. It's fully contained within the browser in every sense. That is by design.
There is no way to get around this that I know of.

How to deploy the Oracle Forms and Reports 10g in Web?

Currently I am working in Oracle forms & Reports conversion project (6i to 10g).
As of now 6i forms working as a standalone application. After migrated it to 10g, I need to deploy the forms and reports in web.
Any one know how to deploy the Oracle forms and Reports in web?
Please help me out. Thanks in advance.

Hello Frank,
for development, you need to install Oracle Developer
Suite 10g. This includes Forms and Reports.this topic interests me too, because I've downloaded Developer Suite and Database (both for 10g) from Oracle website, installed them, but I couldn't connect to a database.
What should be done for me to create a database link and be able to connect locally, in my personal Desktop computer? (Not to a server)
Once it was told me here that I should download 10g Database - I did it, and installed it, but it didn't work. Later, some of my job partners said I should install them in a sequence - that is, 1st the Developer, and 2nd the Database. But it has failed too. And I don't know how to configure a database connection.
Best regards,
