WN 2000, Oracle 8.0 Forms 6i

Can all these products be installed together?
Any time I tried to install Forms 6i in a Wn 2000 OS running an Oracle 8.0 the Oracle Installer failed.
What's wrong. Do i need to update to 8i?

you don't need to update...you must simply install first Forms 6 in a oracle home,and then the database server into another oracle_home...this will work ...

Oracle 8i with form 6i

hi fellows
I have a problem that I have installed oracle 8i and forms 6i but the oracle is working properly but forms are not connecting to oracle
I have installed it on my personal computer while the operating system is windows 2000
I have specified the path in tnsnames but still no connection is building
can anyone help me

I think Forms 6i requires that it be installed to a different Oracle home than 8i Personal.
The first step is to be able to connect to the database from 8i Personal's SQL*Plus. You know that both software packages install separate copies of SQL*Plus, right? If you can't connect like this, ain't nobody gonna' connect to the database.
The second step is to connect using Forms 6i's SQL*Plus. If you can do this, you should be able to connect using Forms. You'll have to set up tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora and maybe other .ora files. I forget exactly where they're located.
Lemmie know how it goes.

Oracle 10gR2 and Forms 6i Combination

One of my company's division after suffering skill gap for many years decided finally to turn their system under my care. This means more work for me but it would be a welcome change since it will give back some exposure from my past life using SQLForms, CDE and Designer 2000 etc.
As a prerequisite I got involved to provide technical direction to a project to "modernize" their system with the "almost" current version that is still supported or "almost" supported by Oracle.
My question is this : ( In reference to Note 229929.1 Stating that Oracle 10GR2 and Form 6i combo is not supported as a combination ( because Form 6i is already desupported ) Is there anyone here have that combination running on production ?
Was there any problem ?
At the back of my mind I am very confident that I can make this combination work .
It would be useful if someone can confirm this combo. (ie 10gR2 and Forms 6i).
You may ask "Why not go with the latest ? ".This was for many reasons. I don't want to introduce shocking changes to the developers (they are already behind on technology and skillset), also Forms 6i is still Client-server which where they want to remain at the moment. The project was given a very short time to convert the system.
Introducing a new architecture will definitely introduce more task than these guys can handle in such short period.
Feedback for any real life experience on this combo is appreciated .
Thanks in advance.

Problems about deploying Oracle web application (Forms, Reports)

I am going to deploy Oracle web applications (Forms and Reports) and plan to use the same server machine for both Application web server and Database server.
1. How can I enable SSL (for data encryption) on Application web server for Oracle Forms ?
2. Since both Application web server and Database server will use the same machine, do I still need Oracle Advanced Security for data transmission between Application web server and Database server if data encryption for transmission is required ?
3. Can I user Oracle Forms to call Oracle Report on web as I did in Client/Server in the past ?
Experts like you may have come across such problems. Would you please give me some opinions/ideas ?
Regards,
Richard

1. check the paper about the Forms servlet architecture on otn forms section for SSL tips.
3. Check the reports and forms integration paper on otn too.

Connect to Oracle 8i from Forms 6

I have installed Personal Oracle 8i and developper 6 in a NT. I got the error when tried to connect to the Oracle 8i from Form Builder. "could not resolve service name".
I did enter the database name.
Any ideas?

This is a tnsnames problem...check the entry in tnsnames.ora and make sure
its
point to the right DB...there will be a tnsnames.ora under Network and also
a
tnsnames in the developer directory ..FORMS will use the tnsnames under
developer..
Supply the connect string with and without the domain to see if
that works
You can find the domain name in sqlnet.ora file.

You asked this
How can i find what is the latest version that i can upgrade this install to
I told you where to find the last update, I checked that version yesterday, the last update is 10.1.2.3, my misstake was to put a 0 before the 3.
You can go to Patches & update>Quick Links to: Latest Patchsets, Mini Packs and Maintenance Packs>Oracle Fussion Middle Ware> Look for you OS versión and CPU> No clic just put pointer over the links and you will see the last one.
And finaly could look for the CPU of Jul and Apr that as requirement they ask for version 10.1.2.3 (as I say I checked yesterday)

Performance of WEB enabling ( Converting to Oracle 8i and Forms 6i)

We are working on a project to convert a forms 4.5 and Oracle 7.3.4 application to a web based app ( Oracle 8i and Forms 6i). I want to know if there will be a performance hit (improve or decrease) as a result of this.
Please help

Satish - concerned about your statement that you have not used in in production but you think its not the good. If you can quantify your statement I will address is.
As for Bobs points - check out http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jsp?id=836060
This probably addresses Bobs concerns.
If you are concerned - take a look at the testimonials. Go to otn.oracle.com/products/forms and click on the Testimonials link.
Believe it or not we actually have people who are running FASTER on the Web - How can that be!!! - well the reason is that the have uses on slow links - when running client server there database access is across these links and since they had database intensive application they found it could be slow. On the web the data trasfer between the app server and the database was on a fast link and the client (who are still on the slow link) are getting only screen draw information which is alot less than the database traffic.
Hope this helps

Is there any difference in oracle database and forms database

i want to know is there any difference in oracle database and forms 6i database
,if i import some file through oracle database then same data will exist in forms database or not
thanks

Oracle Forms is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool not a database. With Forms, you connect to an Oracle database to query and display data from the database as well as insert new or update existing data. Consequently, if exists in the database - you should be able to display it in a Form.

Oracle 9i WEB-forms, with or without Headstart?

We have some applications that are created with Designer 2.1.2 and Headstart 2.1.2 and we are about to migrate these to Oracle9i Web Forms and here are my questions:
1) What are the advantages/disadvantages if we continue to use Headstart?
2) What do we need to get Headstart working together with Oracle 9i Web Forms?
3) Where do we order new software/license for "Headstart for 9i"?
4) Are there any way we can get support on Headstart except the forum on OTN?
5) Briefly explained, if we remove Headstart and replace it with own-developed code, what would our main tasks/problems be?
6) Are there any functionality we cannot have if we remove Headstart from our applications?

1) What are the advantages/disadvantages if we continue to use Headstart?
The advantages would be more or less the same as for Headstart 2.1.2, except for the fact that you can make use of new features, and it runs on the web too! A 'disadvantage' would be that only web forms is supported out of the box (not client/server) and you need to set up an application server. Of course you need to migrate, which sometimes can be a difficult task. However, this depends on things like customizations on top of Headstart, typical client/server features that have been used and that cannot be migrated to web forms etc. A lot of this has been documented in the Headstart Migration Guide.
2) What do we need to get Headstart working together with Oracle 9i Web Forms?
We build Headstart against Designer 9i (+ Developer 9i that comes with it). At this point we still are working on Headstart for Designer 9i.
3) Where do we order new software/license for "Headstart for 9i"?
Contact your Oracle Consulting Manager, or call Oracle and ask for Mike Kruijsdijk.
4) Are there any way we can get support on Headstart except the forum on OTN?
You can hire consultancy from us or one of our partners.
5) Briefly explained, if we remove Headstart and replace it with own-developed code, what would our main tasks/problems be?
To mention some of them:
- It probably would take man-years to build a template package with the same functionality
- Headstart code at some points deals with Forms bugs, which you now have to deal with yourself
- You have no support any more (upgrades) and need to do upgrades for new versions of Designer yourself. I've seen more than one customer that are years behind with upgrading to new versions of Designer, because of this.
And many more. You really should investigate this thouroughly before you start on this. It would not surprise me if you come to the conclusion you might as well rebuild your applications completely.
6) Are there any functionality we cannot have if we remove Headstart from our applications?
You can have anything you like, as long as you build it yourself. But for practical reasons I suppose you will not have RuleFrame for example.
As long as you don't start building new applications with it, the code practically is yours, so you might consider to do the upgrade of Headstart yourself. Of course support will be more difficult, but you still can hire consultancy.
