Did someone from Oracle Forms to APEX
Curious of APEX and if anyone out there has successfully migrated to oracle forms apex?Thank you
Jim
To answer your question from forms to APEX vs go to Java:
Forms and APEX use PL/SQL as underlying coding language.
This means a very small learning curve for developers of forms, where to spend in Java is a learning curve that is massive if you do not already have the skills.
Code reuse must also compare.
The APEX forms conversion utilities produce pages of the APEX forms-based and can work well for you.
The APEX team say utilities give you an advance on the conversion, but additional work is needed.
Similar products for the forms to Java applications on the market.
My point of view on such tools is your duty generally better rewrite the application from scratch.
Your use of a different technology with different requirements of the user interface and is also interesting update to use the features available today.
Of course, this can be cost-prohibitive.
What features of the user interface, you can do much more in APEX or Java forms because you have much more control over the output.
If you wanted to match the function for the feature with the shapes, you may need to do a little extra work.
APEX 4 presents the Plugins, allowing you to develop your own custom components if necessary.
Ultimately, the question on migrating to Java or APEX boils down to the strategic direction for your company and your developers skills.
For me the forms to APEX was extremely easy, APEX felt immediately familiar.

Hard coding the password in your forms? And you must check in the formsweb. CFG file too.
As Andreas said, change all passwords in uppercase in the forms, formsweb.cfg, database and then check if its working or not.Kind regards

Hello all-
I have a project management application that has been developed in Oracle Forms v10.1.2.0.2 and application of asset management developed on-demand Express 3.1 - both in the same database. There are new requirements to include certain active data in the implementation of projects for the year. There are forms of APEX in the application of assets they want to include in the project request forms. Is there a way to "embed" an APEX shape breast and Oracle? I know that I can use web.show_document () in the forms, but which will open another browser window and it is not acceptable for users. I also know that I can recreate the asset shape in Oracle Forms and who will be part of the project application. But it means that I have 2 forms of assets to keep in case there are changes. I would really like Oracle Forms 'use' my APEX form. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance,
GregHello Greg,.

Switch from Oracle Forms to ADF - bandwidth
Hello, to a project that I am, we are to modernize Oracle Forms (11g on the web) to ADF Jdeveloper 11. XXX - we are looking at keeping the same server or to go to a new server with more basic, but which would increase our license costs.
The question I would like to know is if ADF requires a faster server get the same service. I ask this question because I noticed that it takes longer to open ADF created forms etc. with Oracle Forms.
Any suggestions? Stories of misfortune?
Thank you
StuartHello
I migrate an application Forms FAD, and a conclusion: we need more memory on your servers. Just a little, but you know Oracle ADF consume more memory than FORMS, because it is full JAVA.
You can contact Oracle support for more information.Paul

Call a custom Page OA Framework Oracle form form Personaliz
How to call a Page of OA framework custom Custom form of Oracle through form customization. I use 11.5.10.2 RUP7
The Document says to use
PACKAGE FND_FUNCTION IS
procedure EXECUTE (function_name in varchar2,
open_flag in varchar2 default 'Y ',.
session_flag in varchar2 default 'SESSION. "
other_params in varchar2 default NULL,
activate_flag in varchar2 default 'ENABLE ',.

But how can I use it in the form of customization. The FND_FUNCTION function is not there.
Use 'Launch of a function' which is available.

Dear professionals,
How to perform a search in oracle forms using the toolbar: (press enter query key + press run key) using the following criteria:
1. the value in the date element is less then some (e.g. date_item < 01.02.2011) photo
2. how to find NULL values in date and no items date (IS NULL does not work)
It is not the problem of dynamically set these criteria: set_block_property ('block_name', default_where,'date_item IS NULL "") OR set_block_property ('block_name', default_where,'date_item < ' 01.02.2011 ").
There is a useful link to get advice from oracle forms research?
THX in advance,
Adnan
Published by: adnanBIH on February 8, 2011 11:18You can do this by using
#IS NULL -- or #IS NOT NULL
Be aware, that your text object accepts values is more than limit set in search mode. So it cannot accept the channels above if the length of the column is less.
Another way may be to use replace colon (:) in all areas and it will appear in a search window where you can type your condition (so you can put the like condition - YourColumn IS NOT NULL, etc) and it will be increased to current blocks where clause.)
I hope that helps!

Oracle form functions and procedures in the APEX, how?
I'm working to recreate in the APEX, already existing read only forms in Oracle Forms. Report features interactive APEX among other things, in fact worth as well as to target a different audience than utilizies versions of Oracle Form. Versions of Oracle Forms use a lot of pre and post query triggers, PLSQL functions.
In Oracle Forms that places, these functions can be found in the "Units of program" section of the form. A feature typical of this kind, based on a particular Mission ID route, collecting names of regular passengers, is shaped with a comma and a space after each of them, in a single string that is returned and displayed the list of passengers of a line.
I have all of this written code so I can move most of the main request of the Oracle form in an interactive report. These functions and triggers called in the form of the "Units of program" section of the Oracle form rather than stored in the database schema in a package, where they would go inside the APEX? Can I create a 'shortcut' in the APEX and call it from the interactive report "Source Région"? I can create the PLSQL function at the level of the region of the interactive report or page level? Or, my best bet creates a package that is stored in the database, all these functions and/or proecedures I might need the original form of Oracle?
Some advice would be greatly appreciated.RLBickham wrote:
I don't think I've been pretty clear in the description of the specific thing I want to do, simply, it does not reach the level of forms of conversion of the APEX. It is basically a problem of PLSQL function.I have an interactive report which is currently 90 percent of what I want however, each line, which represents a Mission may have several feet. Each arm has two places or ICAO codes attached to it. Based on the number of Mission, I want to loop through the array of leg, collect all the codes of ICAO for this Mission, put them together in 1 variable separated by a coma and add this variable to display the columns in this interactive report as the last column.
In Oracle Forms, I have a function registered in the database, which is called in the main query. Maybe I ask a question that does not need to be asked, but anyway my question is can I put this function currently in the database somewhere within the interactive report and somehow reference it via Http, or should I just stick with set of functions and procedures in the packages stored in the database and called the conventional way?
You could switch the function to the database and call it from the report query, but it sounds as if it were superfluous. In the report query using any form of Re: 4. How can I convert rows to columns? is appropriate for your version of the (unspecified) database.
-----
When you have a problem, you will get an answer faster, more efficient including information as much information as possible from the outset. This should include:
- Full version of APEX
- Complete operating system DB, version, edition, host
- Architecture of Web server (EPG, SST or APEX listener/host operating system)
- Browser (s) and version (s) used
- Theme
- Model (s)
- Region/section type (s) (particularly as to distinguish if a 'report' is a standard report, an interactive report, or indeed a 'update report' (i.e. a tabular presentation))
With APEX, we also had the chance to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproduce things is the best way to solve most of the questions, particularly those relating to the layout and Visual formatting. If you expect a detailed response it is appropriate that you take on an important part of the effort by getting as much as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for help on specific issues, then we can see firsthand.

Calling a procedure from a form of Oracle database
Hello
I have a question, we will be calling the procedure from a form of Oracle, and through that we can spend as input values from 1000 to this procedure and that we must return values back to the Oracle form also. Here the damaged take two or more parameters. Please advice.
To receive the input values, we have the input parameter of the procedure as a type object, so that we can receive several parameter values.
Thanks and greetings

Hi all
I received a form of apex based on a query like:

'INTERFACE_NAME' INTERFACE_NAME_DISPLAY,
"PRIORITY."
"HAS_STARTED,"
"EMAIL_TO"
'STATE ', HE SAID.
of ' #OWNER # '. " INTERFACES.

only the State of the field is updateble.
It is only allowed to update data in the DB table with a PL/SQL procedure:
Start
set_interface_vals@DB (p_interface_name = >: INTERFACE_NAME, p_state = >: STATE);
end;
I put the prodzedure in a process of Page who act with a "submit" button.

The new APEX 4.0 allows to convert Oracle forms 6i?
Hi "user1106744"
As indicated in the documentation for the Migration of the APEX - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/migrate.40/e15518/appmgr_forms.htm#CHDFHAHA - Guide you will need to convert your Oracle Forms file in XML format, in order to be able to use the APEX forms Conversion utility. To do this, you will need to use the Oracle to XML conversion tool, Forms2XMLforms, and this tool was introduced in Oracle9i Oracle Developer Suite and is also available in Oracle Developer Suite 10 g. The conversion tool will be able to convert your Oracle forms 6i, however you will obviously have access to conversion tool to do so... which will have access to an installation of Oracle9i Oracle Developer Suite or Oracle Developer Suite 10 g.

Oracle forms 11g can be deployed on the WebSphere from IBM server?
I found the following paragraph regarding the Middleware components that are supported on IBM WebSphere, but this list does not specifically mention the Oracle Forms or Oracle reports. Does anyone know if Oracle Forms and reports works OK on the IBM WebSphere server? Thank you!
You can configure the following Oracle Fusion Middleware components on the servers of third-party application support:
- Oracle SOA Suite
- Oracle WebCenter Portal
- Oracle WebCenter content
- Oracle Data Integrator
- Oracle Business Intelligence
- Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF)
- Oracle Application Developer Runtime
For this release of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, Oracle supports only IBM WebSphere Application Server as an application server third-party for these products to Oracle Fusion Middleware.
Oracle Forms/Reports 11 is not supported with WebSphere. Its installation requires the deployment in Oracle WLS 10.3.x.

SEO Oracle Forms program units from a library
Hello
IM using Oracle Forms 10.1.2.0.2. I stated a procedure in several forms that runs a query and then enables or disables certain elements according to the number of occurrences of the query. The procedure is always the same and it is something like this:
PROCEDURE QUERY (prBlock IN VARCHAR2, prQuery IN VARCHAR2) IS
BEGIN
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY (prBlock, ONETIME_WHERE, prQuery);
GO_BLOCK (prBlock);
EXECUTE_QUERY();
ENABLE_ITEMS (GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY (prBlock, QUERY_HITS) > 0, prBlock);
REQUEST TO END;
Problem is that I want to add this procedure in a library, but I can't find a way to call ENABLE_ITEMS so that each shape activates / deactivates their items appropriate. Is it possible to call a procedure declared in a unit of program forms in a library?
Thank you.Try this
create an ENABLE_ITEMS() with the same parameters of the library, your code can be
Start
null;
end;
the procedure should be exactly in the parameters and types that each of them to each shapeyou compile the library
then attach to the formWhen the library call a procedure forms program units have preference and turn the shape program unit and the ENABLE_ITEMS() of the library is never called
