Using Forms Migration Assistant

Hello,
I have been migrating a application server from forms 6i to 10g (10.1.2.0.2) using Forms Migration Assistant (FRMPLSQLCONV) tool.
First of all, I have converted .pll files, and It has been converted right.
Then It has been compiled and right.
But when I try to convert a form (.fmb files) in a different path from libraries (.pll files) and It didn't work.
I have changed REGEDIT (FORM_PATH), DEFAULT.ENV file (FORM_PATH), FORMSWEB.CFG file in the WORKING-DIRECTORY and It doesn't work.
Could you help me?
I have an idea. Compiling directly in 10g . It is possible?

These .fmb files it didn't converted.
This is the log file.
Log written into File - .\accion.fmb.txt

Not able to use forms migration assistant

Dear OTN Members
I have installed 10g database and dev suite 10g. Previous version of forms was 6i (client/server architecture). I have downloaded forms migration assitant 9.0.2; they are jar files. I dont know how to use migration assitant (jar files) to convert my forms to 10g. I have used java command to execute it, i have also double clicked on jar files but it says "invalid or corrupted jarfile". Tried in script, didnt worked too. When i download forms assistant it was in zip file and when i extract it, it becomes 5 directories named (Actions,Components,Dialogs,locks and Queries and two files named install1.jar and products.jar. I checked all files inside these directories but no file worked. I searched on web that how to make jar files executable and did that but i got the same message "invalid or corrupted jarfile".
Please guide me where can i found migration assitant v10.1.2 (i already searched web but cant find it). and how to use it? If anybody have it please send me link or file (as its size is very small).
I will appreciate your cooperation.
Regards

How can you download it and not see the documentation?

Forms Migration Assistant

Hello
I am using Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 and I want to migrate some forms from Forms 6i to Forms10g.
I edited the search_replace.properties file in order to change the TEXT_IO calls to CLIENT_TEXT_IO, however after i ran the forms migration assistant, the forms are not changing.
I have the following line in my search_replace.properties file:
Replace24=TEXT_IO|CLIENT_TEXT_IO
What is the correct way to use the search_replace.properties file ?
Thanks!
Ramiro Ortiz

You actually need to list all the TEXT_IO commands that are being used on separate lines, such as:
Replace24=TEXT_IO.FOPEN|CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FOPEN
Replace25=TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE|CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE
Replace26=TEXT_IO.PUT|CLIENT_TEXT_IO.PUT
Replace27=TEXT_IO.NEW_LINE|CLIENT_TEXT_IO.NEW_LINE
Replace28=TEXT_IO.FCLOSE|CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FCLOSE

Forms Migration Assistant - Forms Path?

Hi,
I'm hoping somebody can help me. I'm attempting to use the Forms Migration Assistant and I'm having problems getting it to recognise attached libraries etc. Is there some sort of path that I can set to tell it where to look? I'm using 10gR2 developer suite and I'm using the assistant in wizard mode. I have tried setting the forms path in the registry and in the default.env file but this doesn't seem to make any difference. The only time I have had this working is if I modify the shortcut to the assistant to "Start in" the same folder as all of the libraries and forms which is less than ideal for our situation.
Thanks in advance.

For anybody else that comes across this problem. Apparently, the regular forms_path should be picked up by the migration assistant however there is a bug with the GUI version of the tool that prevents this from happening. If you use the command line version then apparently the tool works fine.
However, if like me you intend to use the GUI version you can manually edit the frmplsqlconv.bat file to include your forms_path. There is a metalink note about this, the doc id is 454053.1

Forms Migration Assistant Usage

Hi all,
I am not able to understand the clear usage of Forms Migration Assistant yet.
I have seen in Forums that Forms 6i applications can be migrated to 11g just by recompiling the forms and running it on 11g.
If this is the case , whats the clear usage of Forms Migration Assistant?
Is it meant to be used for some complex Forms built on 6i or 9i ?
When do we use migration assistant instead of just recompiling the forms and running it on 11g ?
Can anyone help me out ?
Thanks,
Ram

It does some changes; for example when you have calls to run_product for reports this get's replaced by rp2rro.run_product, the rp2rro library is attached and the reports object is added to the form. You also get notified if you have calls to get_file_name in your form as this built in is deprecated.
cheers

Is forms Migration Assistant supported on forms10g?

Hi.
I'm trying to user forms migration assistant with forms1g (Forms [32 bits] Versión 10.1.2.0.2 (Producción)), but i´m getting the following message: "the specified staging area is not supported by the current OUI". Seems like i need to install using a previous version of OUI or curent OUI is not supported.
Answers will be greatly appreciated ..!

Hi,
I had the same problem right now and solved it.
So for everyone who hits this problem .. the answer is:
no need to install the Forms Migration Assitant,
it is already included in 10g.
Yours
Volker

Forms Migration Assistant and Reports

Hi,
We are about to start conversion from Forms 6i to 10g.
There is a number of forms from which reports are called (RUN_PRODUCT).
To what degree can Forms Migration Assistant be customized ? For example: can it create Report Objects for reports that are called from forms ? What about Parameters ? Can I specify which parameters should be used when calling RUN_REPORT_OBJECT ?
Thanks,
Tomas

It would be very helpful to you if your read what's in [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html]Forms Upgrade Center
There's lots of tips on how to make an optimum migration of your Forms.

I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant and my mac mini. I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.

I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant from my mac mini. I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers. It keeps saying that I only have 2 devices setup, my iPad and my macbook pro. When I mess with the setting on my mac mini, it goes from saying that that is one of the devices to my macbook pro being the 2nd device. I think that something happened as a result of my using the migration assistant and now it thinks that my macbook pro and my mac mini are one and the same computer. Any ideas?

Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

I used the migration assistant to transfer files from my PC to my Mac but it recreated my user profile from the PC and I wanted to transfer the files to the new different user profile I've setup on the Mac. How can I transfer everything now?

I have an older Windows laptop and I am switching to a new MacBook Air. The main user on the Windows laptop is going to be different than the main user on the MacBook. I used the migration assistant to transfer data to the MacBook but it recreated the whole older profile on the new Mac when I just wanted to pull everything over into the new user profile I had already created on the new MacBook. How can I go about putting the data over into the new user profile and erasing the older other user profile it recreated? Would I erase the old user profile on the new Mac and start over with the migration assistant using some setting I missed that lets me pull the data over to the new main user on the MacBook? Or is there a way to rename the old user profile on the Mac to match what I want the new username/password to be somehow?
Or would it be best to back the data I really need from the old PC onto an external HD and then copy it over to the new Mac from the external HD?
Looking for advice on how to best go about this. On the old PC I had multiple profiles and it was awkward. On the new Mac I just want a single profile for the primary user and both users will just share the same user profile. I wasn't sure if the Migration Assistant only let you recreate entire profiles or if there was a way to just import data from the old PC's primary profile into the new Mac's new primary profile with some setting adjustment.
Data would be docs, pics, bookmarks, music. Fairly basic.
Thanks for any and all advice,
-Crosscourier.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
I am running Lion 10.7.3.

(I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )

You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.

Forms Migration Assistant installation problem

Hi,
I'm trying to install Forms Migration Assistant on linux to convert forms 6i apps to forms 9i. But when i try to install FMA downloaded from here the installer says that the Oracle Home does not have Oracle Forms 9i installed altough it was shown in installed products. The output of the log file is below. Please if anyone know the solution for this problem or have any idea it would be so helpful.
I need it for my thesis to be given this week.
Thanks for your help.

Also in the installation log file it says the things below. I think it's because i cannot identify the FORMS_ORACLE_HOME variable. In the installation procedure of FMA it says that i should set FORMS90_PATH to $ORACLE_HOME/forms90 but it doesn't work either.

I recently used the migration assistant and now my music has not transferred and it wont play, any ideas on how to get all my music and films to actually work?

Hello,
I recently used the migration assistant on my old macbook air to transfer my data to my new macbook pro, yet it seems that my music and Films have not fully transferred over. i have used macs for a while now and haven't had any problems before, yet now itunes has the names of my music and films yet it can't locate the original file. any ideas on how to get this fixed? i don't want to buy all my music and films again.
Help?!
Thanks

Did the original files actually transfer? They would be in Music>iTunes>iTunes Music. You may just need to rebuild the library if the files are in that folder.

You'll need to erase the drive by booting up holding command-option-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
Use Disk Utility to erase the disk and then Internet Recovery. That will take a while.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
By default, Migration Assistant creates a new user account where it puts all the transferred data. Just go to  > Log Out, and log in the new user that Migration Assistant has created, so you will be able to access to the transferred data.
If you want to merge the data into the first user account, use the Shared folder (it's in /Users/Shared) to put the transferred files there, and then, on the first user, go to the Shared folder and put all the data in the folders you want
