Using or converting forms developed in forms6i to forms10g

Could you please tell me
how to use or convert forms developed in forms6i to forms10g (Developer suit)

You just open them with Forms Builder 10g Compile and save, you need to upgrade your libraries as well.
Best place to start with is [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html]Forms Upgrade Center Here you can find tips and documentations and every information you need.

  • Use dblink in forms developer

    Gentlemen, good afternoon
    I have a problem using a Forms Developer 9i database procedure which has created a synonym. Turns out I invoke this procdimiento created a basis other than that I'm using to compile my form. Low elo environment PL / SQL that procedinto working properly, ie base and runs correctamete dats. But when called from my form, logueandome with the same username, password and database get an error indicating that the lack declare. I wonder if this is an issue or synonymous forms created. stoy of forms using version 9i

    Solutions previously posted to this sort of question include creating a synonym for the link or wrapping it in a view. If that fails then move all the code to the database.
    This is an issue in later versions too, certainly in 6i and IIRC in 10g.

  • Active form difference between Forms6i and Forms10g

    We have a custom forms application that has recently been migrated from Forms6i to Forms10g. Our clients have noticed the following difference and I would appreciate some feeback.
    1. FormA is called from the menu (CALL_FORM('form_name, NO_HIDE...)
    2. FormB is called from the menu (CALL_FORM('form_name, NO_HIDE...)
    3. From WINDOW - select FormA
    Under Forms10g the menu and toolbar are now inactive (the tool bar is greyed out and the menu item cannot be selected - FormsA is now in focus but not active).
    Under Forms6i the menu and toolbar remain not grayed out (though actions are in relations to FormB - currently not in focus but it appears still the active form).
    It appears that there has been a tightening up between what form is currently in focus and active.
    Is this the expected behaviour?

    The menu items as not greyed out but in Forms10g the menu items do not function.
    If you have a toolbar associated it is greyed out in Forms10g but not Forms6i.
    I created a test case as follows; (forms created in 6i using wizards and then migrated to 10g).
    1. Created form1
    2. Created form2
    3. Created Menu
         * item 1 - CALL_FORM('TEST_FORM_1',NO_HIDE);
         * item 2 - CALL_FORM('TEST_FORM_2',NO_HIDE);
         * item 3 - EXIT_FORM;
    4. Run TEST_FORM_1
    5. From MENU select TEST_FORM_2
    6. From WINDOW (or click on) TEST_FORM_1
    7. From MENU select EXIT_FORM
    Under Forms6i TEST_FORM_2 exits (not this is the current active form but not the one currently in focus).
    Under Forms10g EXIT_FORM does nothing.

  • Problems with SCM server 10g and Forms Developer 6i&9i

    Hi,
    I installed SCM server 10g and try to use it with Forms developer 6i and 9i. The connection to the server works ok but when I choose the container from Source Control Options to check in forms they always go one level higher in the container hierarchy. With Forms developer 10g it is working fine. What might cause this?
    Thanks,
    Tomi

    You are missing one key piece of information from your email - the error message that you got.
    can you specify what was the error number?
    Once you have this number I'll suggest that you look it up on the online documentation of the database available on otn (just do a search on OTN with the error number).

  • Jdeveloper versus Form developer

    is th2 jdeveloper replacing the form debeloper,
    and will the ERP system in the future developed using jdeveloper or forms developer.

    Forms is still around and version 12 of Oracle E-Business suite still uses it (as well as JDeveloper).
    Fusion will use JDeveloper as the IDE.
    For more about Forms check http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms

  • Oracle 9i Forms Developer

    I built the form using oracle 9i forms developer, but when I tried to run the form, I am gettin an error "FRM-10142 THE HTTP LISTENER IS NOT RUNNING ON LOCAL MACHINE AT PORT 8888. PLEASE START THE LISTENER OR CHECK YOUR RUNTIME PREFERENCES"
    How do I solve this problem
    This is on Windows XP. Has this got anything to do with this problem? I have RAM of about 760 MB
    THANKS!

    Lots of posts on this - I had it too .
    Try :-
    start-->Programs --> Oracle9i Developer Suite --> Forms Developer --> Start OC4J instance

  • WHY - give workable examples of using JHeadstart to convert forms into ADF.

    Why give examples of how to use JHeadStart to convert forms in to ADF, but not allow it to be done with the evaluation version ... I assume it was possible with the 10g versions. Is it broken in 11g.
    I was lookig to build a case for migrating an oracle forms application to Oracle Java and not a IBM or JBOSS or even .Net application, I can't build that case now, I have no budget to engage Oracle, have to do this of my own bat. Company has been take over by bigger company that has IBM stack.
    Is Oracle this follish to allow the smaller users of Oralce to go by the way side, be lost to other languages etc

    We deliberately did not include the Forms2ADFGenerator in the evaluation version.
    Modernizing your forms application, possibly migrating it to ADF is a considerable effort that is often underestimated.
    Migration tools like the Forms2ADFGenerator can help to a certain extent but are by no means a magic bullet. This is something we cannot stress enough, as over and over again we see people who think migration tools can make the difference. They cannot.
    If you want to make a choice of development environment to modernize your forms application, then the availability of a migration tool should not play a role!
    It is a fundamental and strategic decision to go for Oracle ADF which should not be influenced by a minor time saver like a migration tool.
    To decide on the use of JHeadstart, the evaluation version with the tutorial should be convincing enough.
    The real power of Jheadstart is not in the Forms2ADF Generator, this tool is just a lbonus that can save you a bit of time.
    Here is some more info:
    When does JHeadstart Forms2ADF Generator save time
    The amount of work that can be saved by using the JHeadstart Forms2ADF Generator (JFG) very much depends on the structure of the Oracle Forms application at hand. The JHeadstart Forms2ADF Generator provides most savings for forms that have the following characteristics:
    * Standard-Forms data retrieval and data manipulation through blocks based on database tables, with master-detail relations defined between the block
    * Complex user interface, many (stacked) canvasses, many tabs, many list of values, and other display types
    * PL/SQL logic mostly limited to user interface dynamics: conditionally showing/hiding user interface items, and conditionally changing the properties of user interface items. While JHeadstart does not convert PL/SQL logic, this type of logic is easily implemented in the ADF application because JHeadstart provides many declarative property settings to implement this behavior.
    PL.SQL Logic
    JHeadstart has made the deliberate choice to not automatically convert the PL/SQL logic to Java. The reasons for this are:
    * It is impossible to automate the migration of a two-tier architecture (logic in Forms or in the database) to a three tier Model-View-Controller architecture as is common in JEE web applications, including ADF-based applications.
    * The architecture of the converted application should be identical to the best-practice architecture of an ADF application that is build from scratch. If the architecture is the same, the same skill set can be used to maintain both migrated applications and ADF applications build from scratch. In addition, by going for a best practice architecture, the application is more flexible, and can be maintained easier at lower cost.
    * When using the JHeadstart Forms2ADF Generator, you get this best-practice ADF architecture that is identical to ADF/JHeadstart applications that are built from scratch.
    Other Forms2ADF Considerations
    And even if it turns out the JFG adds a lot of value, there are many other questions you should ask yourself before embarking on a Foms2ADF project.
    For example:
    * Apart from technical reasons like old Forms verisons no longer supported, are there real business reasons and business benefits for migrating that justify the migration effort?
    * To what extent is the application still meeting functional requirements?
    * Are there issues with stability and end user friendliness?
    * Old forms applications are typical "window-on-data" screens, you see the structure of the datamodel through the layout of the screens. Modern web 2.0 composite applications are more task-oriented with good support for human workflow. You should consider to what extent it wants to leverage all these new user interfaces capabilities that come with ADF Faces and WebCenter.
    * How does the application fits in the overall IT landscape? What interfaces to other systems exist, what (old/obsolete?) technology is used to implement those interfaces?
    * What about batch functionality and reporting facilities?
    * May be part of the functionality of the current system can be replaced with standard off-the-shelf software?
    * How sound, well structured and future proof is the underlying datamodel?
    * To what extent are you looking at service-orientated architectures? Whats the SOA maturity level of your organisation?
    * Above questions help to answer the key question: how desirable and benficial is it to migrate an old monolitic forms application 1:1 to a monolitic ADF aplication? How does that fit in overall IT strategy?
    * Organisational isues: who will migrate the system, who will maintain the system? Is outsourcing considered? etc.
    Next Steps
    We offer a Forms2ADF assessment service in which we migrate a number of sample forms selected by the customer to assess the added value of the JFG, and we discuss all of the above questions
    For example, I did one Forms2ADF assessment where it turned out that JFG added litlle or no value, but we were still able to convince the customer of the combined power of ADF and JHeadstart in (re-)building ADF apps from scratch.
    You also might want to take a look at some presentations I did on this topic, and some online demo's:

  • Using forms developer 9i

    Hi
    I am using forms developer 9i and when i run any form it open with Internet explorer and not as form .
    Earlier i was using form builder 6i in which forms were run without internet explorer.
    Plz reply with solution for running forms in forms developer 9i without internet explorer and run it in its own window

    Oracle9i Forms doesn't support Client-Server runtime. Applications developed by Oracle9i Forms are to be run on the Web only (i.e. using Internet browser).
    Read the Oracle9i Forms New Features on the online help and the related white paper to know the changes made on 9i from 6i. There are significant modifications and depricated features.
