What is the Future of Forms and Reports in Fusion Middleware ????

Dear members,
This is a general question that every body has, but i need a correct answer ( not rumours). Lately Oracle has been promoting its BI Publisher or XML Publisher for generating reports with various layouts easily.
1. Will BI or XML Publisher replace Oracle reports Builder in FUSION ???
2. Will Oracle Forms be there in FUSION ??
I would really appreciate if any body can expand on this.
Thanks
Sandeep

Hello,
As it is specified in the Tools SOD :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10g/ToolsSOD.pdf
Oracle’s development teams are already working on features for Forms/Reports 11g and beyond.
And some new features of Reports 11g have been presented at the ODTUG 2007 :
http://www.odtugkaleidoscope.com/2007conference_papers.htm#tools
Oracle Reports New Features: Straight from Our Release 11 Lab
and here the feedback of one of the participants to the ODTUG ...

What do I need for Form and Report development

I have been doing backend development for about 8 years
Now I would like to learn Oracle Form
I bought an Oracle Form course book from Amazon and it only uses Form 6i and I downloaded and installed Oracle 10g on my laptop. What is the minium for me to get Oracle Form and Report up and running?
There are so many things to download and it is quite confusing
Thanks for your help
Sincerely

Where to place the oracle 10g forms and reports folder in Linux server

Hi....
Currently iam migrating a module to oracle 10g.
All my modules which consists of form folders and report folders are inside a
folder called PROJECT and placed in C:\ in windows server.
So when i want to call a form or report i have used path as 'C:\PROJECT\module_name\form_name.fmx';
Now my client wants his project to be used in LINUX based server.
Now i want to know where i have to place my Project's form folder and reports folder
and how i have to call them...
thanx in advance

Can you say how can i call reports as u said hardcoding the path while calling report is not a good practice.I agree with Dhiraj Madan, hardcoding paths is a very bad idea, your application becomes non-portable.
For FORMS_PATH you can use default.env, as already said (or <your envfile>.env, if any).
The same can be done for REPORTS_PATH, by using reports.sh script, in $ORACLE_HOME/bin.

What is the future for Forms/Reports

Hi, Everyone,
We have been using Forms/Reports as our
client/server applications for 3+ years.
recently I heard a lot of noises talking
about other Oracle tools: like Oracle Portal,
Oracle Jdeveloper, it seems Oracle has put more emphasis and resources on these new tools instead of the old and proven
Developer. My questions are:
1. Is Oracle Developer still important to Oracle ( i.e. Has Oracle put enough
resources for the new Developer version)?
2. Anybody heard anything about the next
version of Oracle Developer ( like Forms 7),
new features?
Thanks a lot
sean zhang

On the REPORTS "discussions board" a member of the Oracle Reports Team has mentioned recently that in the midd of 2001 there will be a new version of Reports called Reports 9i. If you have time you can find there this sentence.

BI Foundation domain not visible in the EM after forms and Reports install

We installed OBIEE 11g successfully and it has created a domain i.e. bifoundation_domain. Whenever we used to login to EM and Weblogic Console, it was showing “bifoundation_domain”.
Yesterday we have further installed Oracle Forms/reports 11g server. It asked for a new domain name i.e. which we gave ClassicDomain.
Today when we login to EM and Weblogic Console, it just shows ClassicDomain.
Now the question is:
How to switch between multiple domains ? Ideally we would like to have only one domain with BI and Forms/reports together.
Kindly help.

Priyanka

Hi,
Try manually starting the opmn process in the OHS_HOME/opmn/bin opmnctl start or opmnctl status.

What is the future of LightSwitch and OData in VS 2014?

This question might have been asked before but I'm looking for an update that pertains to VS 2014 and future versions. What is Microsoft's plans for LightSwitch? I haven't seen a platform with so much potential for web and client development but I'm afraid
to invest the time to learn another dying idea, if, that is the case?
Thoughts?

OAS 10 to Fusion 11 - Forms and Reports Integration

We have an existing forms and reports application developed in version 10. The database is now 11 and we are getting ready to install Fusion with the portal, forms, reports and discoverer version (11.1.1.4). Although we feel that our future install should go OK, we'd appreciate any suggestions, tips, tricks, etc. The clients are Win XP and the database is on a UNIX server.
More important than the install would be comments on the coversion of version 10 forms and reports into Fusion. I expect that the conversion process is not 100% meaning that one cannot install Fusion and have existing version 10 forms and reports properly run without modifications. What is involved in the conversion of forms and reports? What changes did you have to make to have your old version 10 forms application run in Fusion?
I am new to developing in Oracle but am quite familiar with the MVC design pattern so the new development environment should be fine for new work, but the issue here is the older version 10 forms that clearly do not subscribe to the MVC design pattern.
I am looking for your experiences and insight from those who have performed this conversion.
Steve

Well, I believe you can upgrade to 11g and then compile all the forms using frmcmp..

Only forms and report

Hello,
what is minumin installtion for Forms and Reports to be run on 9i platform? I don't need LDAP, I do not need anything else but forms and reports...

Currently you have to install everything and then you can remove the infrastructure database.

We are planing on a Forms/Report only installation in future Oracle9iAS.

Query on install Oracle AS Forms and Reports Services

Hi All,
I want to install 'Oracle Internet Application Server Products - Forms and Reports', I referenced the 'Forms and Reports Services Installation Guides 10g Release 2(10.1.2) for Windows B16392-02'.
I install successfully up to Chapter 5.
When I jump into Chapter 6 of the release (Configuring Forms and Reports Services to Use an Oracle Application Server Infrastructure), I followed the guideline but could not see my AS has any way to allow me to configure Oracle Identity Management/OracleAS Metadata Repository/Starting OPMN Services/Testing the Configuration.... Is it because my AS is just for Forms and Reports and not a full feature one? How I can test my AS is working?
On the other hand, is it possible to migrate forms and reports from old version like Developer 2000 4.5 to 10g? Any reference or suggestion?
And what I need to do more with the current AS in order to allow me to upload forms and reports to it? Please kindly advise.
Best Regards
AC

Hi AC!
There are two versions of Forms and Reports: one standalone and one as part of the Application Server. The second one will offer the Infrastructure. If you use the second one then you will have an Infrastructure after the installation.
Seems to me that you do not have the complete AS but the standalone version.

System setup/installation to use Forms and Reports 11g

We are a high education organization. We recently get a request from faculty to create an Oracle environment for academic purpose. We have Oracle database 11g installed on a Windows 2008 R2 64bit server. Faculty require to use Froms and Reports 11g. My questions is what will be the basic minimum set up to make that happen? Can we also install the WLS with Forms and Reports on the same server that the database is on, then only install Forms and Reports client part on user workstations? Can somebody provide any documentation that can help on this issue? Thanks.

Michael Ferrante's post in this thread has a list of useful documents
How to run Oracle Forms app on local PC?
For your server configuration you should be looking for the Windows 64 bit version of Weblogic Server and Forms.
> My questions is what will be the basic minimum set up to make that happen?
The system requirement guide in the link above will have all the information you need
> Can we also install the WLS with Forms and Reports on the same server that the database is on
Yes, assuming your server meets the combined requirements for both products, although I prefer to keep them separated for ease of administration.
> ..then only install Forms and Reports client part on user workstations?
For Forms 11g there is no installation required on the client to run forms applications (other than JRE). However if the user workstations will be used to run the forms builder and reports builder used to create the forms and reports modules, you will need to install Weblogic and Forms (Developer install type) on each workstation.
One note of caution: Forms 11g is extremely sensitive to the versions of the components - Weblogic Server, Forms, Java, Internet Explorer, etc. I would use only the versions certified in the certification matrix in the link above.

Tracking calls to Forms and Reports in an application - Migration

Hello,
This is an interesting case. I have an application that has a number of Forms and reports written for 6i. Before I start migrating to 10g, I want to have an estimate of the current usage for this app (for one month), namely the number of times users accessed the forms and the reports.
For example:
Form A accessed 675 times
Form B accessed 30 times
Form M accessed 0 times
etc..
sames things for the reports.
Based on this statistics, I can say which ones should be migrated first, etc...
Now, I was thinking about creating a table called USAGE and each time a user clicks on the menu that calls a Form or a report, I will update the corresponding record in USAGE.
The problem here is that users can access a report or form from within other forms and as such the info I get from the Menu will be only a rough estimate. I need to point out that I don't want to open ALL the forms and check whether there are other calls from there.
What do you think of this approach and if someone was faced with the same issue, what would be the best bet to get the usage estimate.
Note: The app is used quite heavily.
Thanks

That's one possibility but the thing is that I don't want to open ALL the fmbs and then add that piece of code.
That's why I want to just work on the Menu and try gather statistics from there. However, that will give me only a rough estimate.
I was looking at Oracle Trace and I am checking whether I can get the required info (Forms and reports names) from this log for a client/server Forms app. However, I would prefer to see whether someone already had experimented with this.
Thanks.

Oracle forms and reports deployment

hi,
i am new to oracle application server i am testing oracle forms and reports deployment, please let me know what part of application server i need to be install for deployment of forms and reports.
only Forms & Reports Services will be fine ?
regards,
Nikunj

only Forms & Reports Services will be fine ?If you only need Forms and Reports, then yes, you can install the standalone version Forms and Reports services, which does not have infrastructure and is much lighter.
Of course, in this case, you can't use features that require infrastructure, like Internet Directory, Single Sign On, Portal, and so on.

hi user ...
on windows there are some steps in front of installation and configuration.
1) cleare the Windows Env (Path .. Programme x86 )
no Blank in Path and so on
2) insert into your local host file your server and IP Adress
3) in Windows 32 setup of WLS is JDK included so you don't have to install the jdk in front of WLS
4) verify if you are using the right installation medium (jdk 32 bit, wls 32 bit , fmw 32 bit
in your OraInventory/logs directory is a *.out file for your installation please can you put this file in the forum
is there a nodemanager up and running (if so please stop)

NL80.DLL, SQLNET. Ora805.dll. All under c:\oracle\reports6
But I can't figure out which service it is, when I look at the windows services. Although the command line is:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs
When I go to uninstall forms and reports using OUI, I see two Oracle homes.
OraDb11G_home1
DEFAULT_HOME
Reports is listed under DEFAULT_HOME. But unlike OraDb11G_home1, in DEFAULT_HOME, there are no check boxes at all to select these products to uninstall.
1)
Without uninstalling the database, how can I uninstall forms and reports?
2)
How can I tell which service is running forms and reports?
Thanks a lot!

You can delete these items directly from Start menu and this is the first step :
Oracle for Windows NT
Oracle Forms and Reports 6I
Oracle Forms and Reports 6I doc
Oracle OLAP client 2.2
Oracle Reports 6I
Oracle Reports 6I Admin
The second step : Delete the home of developer6i from registry
And the third : Delete the directory (orant) which the contents of forms and reports 6i are stored in (c:\orant by default)
When I want to delete forms and reports 6i I follow these steps above.
hope that help you.
Any comments from experts are very appreciated :)

Can I use forms and reports 6I runtime for production environment?

I have a doubt.
I know if i use or install developer (forms and reports 6I) both, runtime and builder, I do require a license.
But If I buy the standard edition license for database (in production or deployment), and I wanna use the runtimes (from forms and reports) only as runtime not to modify or develop anything, is it possible? just to download it or install it in RUNTIME mode?
Is it possible and legal?
Thanks

Can I download that developer and install both forms and report runtime (yes only runtime) to access a licensed standard edition database? The problem is, you can't download that version any more! All download links to Forms version earlier that 10g R2 have been removed from Oracle's web site. You might still be able to download Forms 6i from My Oracle Support, but this requires a paid license agreement with Oracle to access My Oracle Support (formerly Metalink).
So, if you already have a copy of Oracle Developer Forms and Reports 6i then all you need to do is contact your local Oracle Sales Representative to get an official answer to your licensing question. If you don't have a copy of Forms 6i, then you are pretty much out of luck unless you know someone who has a copy!
