Migrating Forms 10g GR 11, 2 different host

Hi all

I'm Migrating Forms 10 g to 11 GR 2. I read a document for upgrading forms 10g to 11 GR 2, but there is no comment about the different host upgrade.

Also, there is only one way for the upgrade. Who is using "upgrade wizard".

Currently, here is my situation.

  1. I use forms 10g now on the server A.
  2. I installed 11 GR 2 forms on server B. It works well.
  3. There are a few files of forms compiled on ServerA.
  4. I want to migrate these forms and the configuration files in the server A to Server B.

If I can't use "upgrade wizard", I just copy the configuration files two server (formsweb.cfg and default.env) and paste the B server configuration files. But I think that it is not good idea to migrate.

Is there something else easy way and security for the upgrade.

Please answer to me thanks!

Let me start with the urgent comment: do NOT copy the configuration of earlier versions and drop them in the new environment. It's a bad idea for many reasons.  The most obvious is because new version has new settings and changes, some of which are required.

I hope that, in your environment to version 10 you does not alter the [default] section of formsweb.cfg.  If this is the case, then you can easily copy your sections in the file of the new version.  However, before you do anything like that, make sure that you stop the Server Admin v11 and Managed Server (WLS_FORMS).  Don't try to do it with them running or your changes likely will have lost to ignored.  The default.env should be similar.  You can replace the one-for-one entries, but do not replace the entries found in the file.  Thus, for example, you can copy your old FORMS_PATH and drop it into the new file.  Comment out the existing and use your instead.  And so on.

OK, we can all calm down now.

The next thing to address is this statement "...". compiled form files on server A... ».  You can also copy forms of update modules / generated from one version to the other.  You need to rebuild 'X' (fmx, mmx, plx) of files in the new environment, using the new compiler.

As for using the upgrade wizard, there are some limitations to use, needing to be on the same machine.  However, despite everything, my recommendation is that not use you it anyway.  In most cases, you will have more success and much easier to maintain the environment if you do things manually.  AU is especially useful when you have significant customizations and complex throughout the battery (SST, Web Cache, forms, reports, etc.).  For typical configuration changes, manually create the new that's going to be the way to go.  It will give you also a chance to clean by removing changes made previously which are no longer needed.

    Rather than calling SqlLoader directly, you must create a batch (.bat) file and call it. In the batch file, you must first configure the environment because the HOST of shapes command starts with shell that does a not include system configurations. Thus, for example to create this batch file and assume, you name it oracle.bat :

    set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle10g\iAS1012
    set ORACLE_SID=orcl
    set PATH=%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%ORACLE_HOME%\bin
    sqlplus
    

    If you want to pass values in the batch file you can do, but it may take some careful coding. For example, if you want to pass the username and password in the script above you can proceed as follows. The %1 accepts a value from the command line. If you need more simple add %2 %3 and so on. Each parameter should be separated by a space, that is where it becomes difficult in the Forms code.

    set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle10g\iAS1012
    set ORACLE_SID=orcl
    set PATH=%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%ORACLE_HOME%\bin
    sqlplus %1
    

    The form, the call from the HOST might look like this. Carefully note the exact spaces and quotes, I've included in the declaration.

    HOST('"c:\oracle.bat " scott/tiger""');
    

    or*

    HOST('cmd /c start "" "c:\oracle.bat " scott/tiger""');
    
  • sort order in form 10g

    Hello.

    I realize migrating an application from forms6i to forms10g.

    In a list of values, the elements are sorted alphabetically.

    In forms 6i, sorting is:

    1
    2
    3
    A
    B
    C
    D

    But in fact 10g, the sorting is different.

    A
    B
    C
    D
    1
    2
    3.

    Is it possible to change this?

    Sorting is nothing what forms in itself. Sort comes from the database. You also migrate to another database-version? You should check the queries into SQL * more.

  • Forms 10g + UTF8 - Item displays # when he's happy is too long

    Hello

    I am facing a strange behavior with Forms 10 g and NLS_LANG = UTF8.

    DB 11G withcharset in AL32UTF8 on Linux

    Forms 10G on Linux

    We are currently upgrading our DB 10 G DB 11 G + UTF8 form.

    After adaptation data DB 10G and 11G, we changed sementics BYTE in CHAR columns in DB 11 G.

    Migration worked well.

    Now we try to connect to our application in the form of 10G to the new DB 11 G + UTF8.

    First we were faced with the error ORA-01461 "can bind a long value only for insert in a long column".

    To resolve this error, we have clarified the NLS_LANG = american_america.utf8 in default.env.

    This problem is solved now.

    We have specified the following parameters when compiling:

    NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA. UTF8

    Export NLS_LANG

    NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = CHAR

    Export NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS

    The application works fine except a few ITEMs that display # when their content is too long.

    For example with a Varchar2 ELEMENT (5) length_semantics = NULL (if the compiler uses the NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS specified during compilation).

    -When I fill it with "xxxxx" it works very well.

    -When I fill it with "xxxxe", it displays "#". The ELEMENT behaves as in Excel when the cell data cannot be displayed as a whole.

    Any idea on how I can avoid this behavior?

    Thanks in advance.

    Tim.

    There is a bug in forms 10.1.2.3 for when the length of an element in BYTES is greater than the length of the CHAR data # are displayed.

    =>

    Length ('xxxxx') = lengthb ('xxxxx')

    but

    Length ('xxxxa')<>

    so you will get #.

    There is a single patch for this what number I do not remember. The patch is packaged in the latest available patch for forms #9593176 and #13095466 which will also give you the benefits of being able to run your forms 10 g with Java7 (even if she is not certified).

  • Cannot migrate Forms 10 g and 11g: give SQL stmnts ALL erred "ignored statement."

    We have a Forms application Forms 10 g R1 (Forms [32 bit] Version 9.0.4.2.0 (Production)). We want to migrate Forms 11 g (Forms [64-Bit] Version 11.1.2.0.0).

    The app Server and Forms builder are in Windows machines.

    We open a 10g R1 form our application forms 11g and compile it in the form designer. Yes, we get an error for "each SQL STATEMENT", for each SQL statement and some procedure calls that we get this error.

    Error 0 in line 4, column 3 SQL statement ignored

    Then, we created a mild form using Forms 10 g R1 without any of our libraries and added a block and a program unit to the form with a simple SQL.

    We then copied the form to the machine that has the forms 11g and then opened it in form 11g. Then we try to compile and we get the same error. See screenshot here: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/i8m6c

    It's so obviously nothing to do with our library (PLL) or forms of model. This seems a common problem in all forms.

    What is the problem here? Is this a bug?

    We then converted the 10g R1 Forms 10 g R2 ([32 bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production)) which opened in forms of 11g and tried to compile. Same mistake.

    What is the process to 11g Forms 10g Release 1?

  • "Shift + tab" under a required field in forms 10g

    We are the migration of froms 6i to 10g
    6i, we are able to move to the previous field by using "Shift + tab" a required field even if the required field is not entered
    in 10g, I can't navigate a required field to the previous field with out entering the required field
    Is it possible in 10g to go to the previous field using the "shift + tab" with out entering the required field

    Thank you

    In more recent versions of forms, navigation became more strict. However, you can return to the more relaxed behavior by changing a setting on the level of the form. See the property "postpone the application required.

    http://www.Oracle.com/webapps/online-help/forms/10G/topics/f1_help/propsd_f/deferrden.html

    In addition, know that in 10.x, to that you can no longer navigate disabled fields programmatically. This may be relaxed to his old behavior with a switch setting. See FORMS_REJECT_GO_DISABLED_ITEM

  • Migrate Forms 9i to 10 g

    Hello world

    I spent some time reading on the net and the location most say that the only thing to do is to open your file (9i) .fmb on Forms 10g, compilation and it is. So... is this really true? or there are others to do?

    Thanks for the tips.

    Hello!
    Yes, it's true.
    Make a backup of your fmb/MMR/PLL 9i (cause: not the way back!)
    Compile your files pll and mmb, then the canvas.
    That's all.
    You will then need to an another Version of Jinitiator on the Client.
    Webutil will already be installed on the developer home.
    You won't be able to connect to a database version lower than 8.1.7.4.

    After migrating to 10g R2 forms you will see: no change.
    But: you can now use globals with a with of 4000 characters instead of 255!...
    And in the online help, you can change a topic with a doubleclick in the search index.

    Others know other changes.

  • Maintain the Forms 6i with form 10g

    Hi all

    I have a case where we want to go to form 10g and one of my client doesn't want to Forms 6i. We have a utility where, in case, we say that if the version is Forms 6i and then compile as part of another (IE., Version is Forms 10g) then compile the other party. Similar to the concept of IfDef.

    Kind regards

    There will be no conversions built-ins, only errors of compilation on built-ins obsolete if they are used which are VERY rare, migration should go very smoothly.
    I suggest you try on a couple of forms, PLL and MMB.

  • Flight hover text on my site by default, ignoring my HTML mouseover. Two different hosts show the same bug. (Chrome showed same on one host.)

    My hover/mouseover stylesheet correctly texts show when < my custom > .css is local disk (offline), but when online, a default value "CTRL + R improves the quality of this image...". "watch instead, presumably from the browser. Sometimes a test shows my stationary custom text on the FIRST event mousover ONLY, then the default value is used.

          This behavior showed also on Crome before I banished it. (Chrome's default text was identical) Support at my usual webhost has been looking at the problem for two weeks without result. Today I loaded the same code to a different host organization (under http://waggledance.us) and I'm seeing the same default behavior, including an occurrence of the "first time okay" observation.
          I note there is a default "Main.css" on that second server, which makes me ask whether a default .css is getting slammed on my user after <my-custom>.css serves (on both hosts??).

  • How can I migrate forms a new application with a deleted dimension data?

    We created a large application, then added an extra dimension in development and have decided that we don't have this dimension.

    I exported all the rules of calculation of the Manager, imported and deleted all references to the size of the old and they validate and deployment very well.  The data forms fail however on migration through shared services due to the absence of the former dimension.

    What is the best way to migrate forms everywhere and ignore the extra dimension?

    Joachim

    These dimensions are defined in the POV? Where they fall in the form?

    You can open the Web form files in a text editor such as Notepad ++ and remove references to the old dimension.

  • Why is no longer a faster network between two different hosts?

    Hello community!

    I need help in this mystery.

    I have three computers different virtual, all of them with e1000 (also I tried all VMs with vmxnet3) and the latest vmware tools.

    Two of this mV, are in the same physical host (ESXi 5.5.0 2068190). Call for example: VM - 1A & VM - 2A

    Another virtual machine, is in another physical host (ESXi 5.5.0 2068190). Call VM-1 b

    Both ESXi hosts are connected with two cards 10 Gbit network with load Balancing: "From hash IP route" and detection: "link status only.

    Traffic Shaping is disabled in all Ports.

    The environment is very clean, and we have more VMs that can disrupt the test (or inappreciable).

    VM - 1a: 10.12.50.201 - physical host ESX - A

    VM - 2A: 10.12.50.202 - physical host ESX - A

    VM-1 b: 10.12.50.200 - physical host ESX - B

    Why I don't see better network speed reference, when two virtual machines send something two physical host is different than when the two virtual machines are in the same physical host?

    It is not a question of "iperf", I used the other test with CPS and I had the same speed.

    Thank you very much!!!

    PS: The physical host computers are: Dell PowerEdge r.620 - 16-core Xeon - 384GB RAM

    Have you tried to move your VM on different hosts to the same host?

    Your names of:

    VM - 1 a host has

    -VM-1 b on Hots B

    ToDo

    Now move VM-1B for A Host and repeat the test (two virtual machines on the same host). What happens now to the speed?

    Check

    -How is the CPU usage during the test we Host-A, if you have 2 virtual machines on this host?

    -What is your ratio of P2V CPU? (overprovisioning?)

    What it could be

    -Host doesn't have enough CPU power to serve the two virtual machines (or over-provision P2V related problem). But for me no sense if I see your config server with 16cores.

    -It is not a host but a related problem of VM (perhaps it depends on the VM - A2). Makes the most sense for me (your test is to check)
