Version Management for Oracle forms/Reports/plSQL

We currently use Serena VM (PVCS)
Looking to migrate to an alternate one.
Wondered what people used if htey migrated etc?
SubVersion seems the obvious choice but thought id ask the people in same position as us development wise.
Ideally a web based solution would be best rather than a local, but not seen many of them.

SubVersion seems the obvious choice but thought id ask the people in same position as us development wise.There are other Systems, like GIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29
The main difference to subversion is that it is distributed on each development PC. We didn't need this feature as we are hardly developing software outside our company building, so subversion was and still is very suitable for us.
Ideally a web based solution would be best rather than a local, but not seen many of them.What do you mean? Apache is perfectly capable for subversion with mod_dav_svn: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.ref.mod_dav_svn.conf.html
In conjunction with .htaccess authentication this is setup in 10 minutes on a debian/ubuntu server. CollabNet also provides you with a complete bundle: http://www.collab.net/downloads/subversion
If you plan on using windows there is another solution: http://www.visualsvn.com/server/

  • Request for Oracle forms & Reports 12c: Free runtime in GlassFish like ADF

    a) FREE RUNTIME LICENSE IN GLASSFINS FOR ORACLE FORMS & REPORTS IN GLASSFISH
    Hello, we are Oracle Partners and we are using oracle since Oracle 7.3.4.
    I remember a beta of Oracle Forms, having the functionality to set properties in all objects, just like Visual Basic, including lines, etc. But that beta was rejected and I see Oracle had leave Oracle Forms as just a database client.
    In this moment there is a free light version of ADF.
    I will like you think in that possibility.
    Think in this, if you want to program a small software, I mean 20,000 U$, and the runtime is 40,000 U$, then this doesn't makes sense.
    Oracle is pushing small customers toward Visual Studio,
    I think the idea of a free runtime will benefit Oracle in two ways.
    For a 20,000 U$ software or less, you but Visual Studio, Sql Server 2012 is enough, not as Oracle, but is enough for that small softwares,
    this means if you give a free runtime of oracle forms & reports (like adf is doing)
    1) you will win selling development licenses and 2) selling Oracle Standard One licenses.
    If you don't do you will lose developement licenses and Oracle will continue losing the small databases market, because this is not like 10 years ago, Sql Server and other databases had improved, and the hardware too .
    2) THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LINUX MORE EASY TO INSTALL & AN EASY DESKTOP FOR THAT LINUX
    The other point I want to give feedback is linux, it's too related to oracle forms & reports improvements for small business
    Is the development of an easier Linux, to use 1) for development 2) for production.
    In the same way you don't wait 60 seconds in a normal web page to load, people don't like Linux because is not like Microsoft Windwos or Macintosh; so if Oracle wants to move to people to use linux to use Oracle Forms or Oracle Database, I think Oracle must create a more simple and tested installation for both customers and developers,
    - less is more, so the installation must have only what normally is needed.
    - you should not need to use command line for most operations, this should be an exception, normal users must do things by themselves.
    Thank you for your time

    I don't know that it will break things, but I can say that the safest thing to do would be to use separate WLS installations for each product. This may sound like overkill, but each product (ADF, Forms/Reports) have their own idiosyncrasies and requirements with respect to versions and patching, and trying to mix and match them in the same WLS installation is not, in my opinion, something that's worth undertaking.
    I have the very setup I describe (separate WLS installations for ADF apps and Forms/Reports apps), and it's working with no problems.
    Regards,
    John

  • 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.

  • Is there any impact analysis tool for Oracle Forms and Reports

    Hi All
    We are curretly looking at tools available to do impact analysis in Oracle Forms and Reports. This is for the maintainance of a large Oracle application developed using forms and reports 10g. We use Oracle Designer but only to maintain the db structure and not for forms and reports generation. Our intension is to find out the impact of db model changes, stored procedure changes in Oracle Forms and Reports. Please suggest any tools that are currently used for this purpose.
    I remember manually maintaining the CRUD matrix for Oracle Forms and Reports for maintainance purpose. CRUD matrix will have the list of all the tables which are affected by the module. But this is a manual activity and hence the responsibility is with the dev team to keep the document updated. Please suggest if there is any alternative to this way which can be more effecient and less error prone...
    I also wonder how these are done in Oracle ERP? how the apps team in oracle is maintaining the forms and reports?
    Thnaks in Advance
    Mahesh Mathew

    Quest (the makers of TOAD) have a tool called SQL Impact which gathers data from forms, reports, triggers, packages etc.
    FormsMate is a simple, cheap alternative for comparing or searching in forms.
    http://www.jockvale.ca/products.html
    Alternatively, you can export forms to xml (with iff2xml90.bat) and reports to jsp (with rwconverter) and simply grep those and your sql scripts. There are grep tools for windows if you need.

  • IDE Support for Oracles Forms and Reports

    Hi All,
    I am beginning a software integration project and would really appreciate it if you could give me some guidance. I wish to find an IDE that will support Oracle Forms & Reports (6i and 9i/10g) development (in particular support for coding of .rdf and .fmb files) either natively or via a plug-in. Is anyone aware of such an IDE or plug-in? Thanks in advance.
    -S

    Thanks for your input Jacob, that answered my question. I was wanting to know if there was any IDE that could be used to develop fmb's or rdf's, either natively or with a plug-in. From your response, I now know there are not.

  • How to add a new font into Report Builder and Oracle Forms/Reports Server?

    Hi,
    I've searched the forum and can't find this being discussed.
    My developers run Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2 on their XP laptops.
    Their reports run (in production) on Oracle Forms/Reports Server 10.1.2.0.2.
    This server runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
    They've got a client who wants reports using the "Garamond Western" font.
    So....how do I get this font onto the developer's Report Builder laptops, and onto the Oracle Forms/Reports Server?
    I've moved various 'Garamond' fonts into C:\WINDOWS\FONTS on both the laptops and the server, but neither seem to recognize it.
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks.
    This answers 1/2 of my question.
    The developer can now use Report Builder on his laptop, with the new fonts.
    But when he moves this new Report to the Oracle Application Server/Forms-Reports Server, it fails to use the new fonts.
    The Oracle App Server/Forms-Report Server is Version 10.1.2.0.2. It runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
    I have installed the exact same fonts on this server, into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts.
    I have used REGEDIT to change REPORTS_PATH....and placed C:\WINDOWS\Fonts; as the first value in this field.
    I have then stopped and restarted the Forms-Reports Server.

  • 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.

  • Difference between Oracle Application Express and Oracle Forms/Reports

    hi guys,
    i have just use oracle apex to create some report generation tools through the web. know that this is what is known as html db in the past.
    however, i have not really touch oracle forms and reports before, neither have i really seen how they work.. but soemhow i feel oracle report/forms seems to be more.. then this oracle apex.
    it includes integration with web services, java and pl/sql .
    but i still cant really figure out what is the actual general main difference ?
    is it that for oracle forms there can be some programming logic inside , whereas for apex , it is just using what is available from what oracle provides ..
    i am read oracle form white paper, but seriously, i am not a very web guy. it has alot of components that i am not familiar with.
    so i hope you guys can just give me a more general rough idea.
    regards,
    Noob.

    Hi, my .05$
    ... most Forms & Reports users will tend to be old installed base customers using applications developed many years ago in F&R such as insurance company cores and even banking cores. Going from client/server F&R6 to "web" F&R10g is costly as you have to license an application server and most likely need to migrate to recent versions of the DB in case the customer is still on oracle 8 (common occurrence). So many customers opt. to not migrate or to simply invest in new web enabled solutions.
    Using the migration tool f&r installed base will have an easier job of migrating and at a price of whatever DB edition they are using and probably be able to do it with the same people who maintain their f&r systems provided they learn a bit about web technologies.
    what might be interesting to see is performance perception of users on f&r vs. apex...

  • 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.

    Thanks.

  • 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.
