OraTransplant

About me

Hi,

Picture of Wilfred van der Deijl My name is Wilfred van der Deijl. I’m 36 years old and live in The Hague in The Netherlands. I’m married to Jeannet and have two daughters: Kela and Yoni. I studied Computer Science in the early 90’s and started working as an Oracle consultant in ‘95.

I do some work as an independent consultant, but my primary job is at the IT department of Eurotransplant which consists of just over 25 people. We develop and manage applications for Eurotransplant, Bio Implant Services and the Dutch Transplantation Foundation. The department has one system architect, and that’s me!

There isn’t a lot of standard software for organ and tissue transplantation This means we’re a typical Oracle custom development shop. The core systems were originally built using SQL*Forms 3.0. Over the years, they were upgraded to Forms/Reports 6i using database 8i. Designer 6.0 was introduced for all new developments.

I joined Eurotransplant in December 2004. Since then we’ve been busy upgrading Forms/Reports to version 10gR2, including Oracle Single Sign On. Once that was finished, we upgraded the database to 10gR2. We’re still thinking about what to do with our Designer 6.0 setup. We also developed an offline Java Swing application in 2004-2005 which has been running successfully since early 2005. In the meanwhile, we’ve also developed a number of JDeveloper/JHeadstart/ADF Applications. At the beginning of 2007 we did a proof-of-concept with Oracle BPEL and we just started implementing our first two BPEL projects.

As you can see, we’re completely locked in to the Oracle technology stack, and we love it!

I’ll use this blog to report on my findings using Oracle software in my workfield while we make the typical transition from “traditional” Forms/Designer development to J2EE. It has brought me many contacts in the Oracle community some of which are internal Oracle contacts. This even resulted in me being a member of the Oracle Customer Advisory Board for Development Tools since summer 2005.

The name of this blog OraTransplant is combination of Oracle and Eurotransplant.

hi Mr.Wilfred van der Deijl you are a great man,
first am sorry about my english language because it’s not good, i hope you will understand me what i need.
am working in the J.U.S.T University as oracle developer (the system that i developed is HR system) under oracle 10g releas 2.

there are some problem with developing on oracle 10g and hope you help me to find the solution :-

First problem :- we compile the forms on the window to show how it run then we put it in the unix application server i want to know how to compile the form .fmb on the unix (without GUI) to get .fmx run on the unix.

second problem :- how to call the reports(that are already saved on the unix server .rdf) form the form to run on the explorer ( i use web.show_documents procedure to call the report and pass the user parameter and system parameter but it didn’t run on the unix) then how to hide the user name and password from the URL without using cookies .

thank you very mutch
hope find the solution with you

Compiling on Linux is done with a command line tool; “frmcmp.sh”. I haven’t access to a Linux server right now, but running “frmcmp.sh help=y” probably gives you an explanation of all possible command line arguments.

You have a number of ways of runnig Reports from a Form. You’re probably best of starting with a white paper published by Oracle.

Hi Wilfred,

I work for a company which supplies aero plane parts of some of the major airlines and defense. The supply chain system for parts is written in Oracle Forms 6i and has over 350 forms and some two dozen reports. Now, I am working on migrating the application to 10g and deploy on OAS 10g Rel 1.

I am coming from Oracle Development (forms and PL/SQL), DBA and system architect. I don’t have much of Java background. JDAPI is something I have stopped before I get myself familiarized with Java. Your blog was very helpful as the project what we have in front of us sounds very close to what you have just finished.

I have following questions:

1. What version on application server you have migrated the Forms. Are you using with SSO and have Application Server infrastructure install or do you have only Forms Services running on the app server.
2. Have you used Forms Load balancing or network switch to distribute the load and maintain app servers.
3. Are you willing to share your customized JDAPI code?

Thanks a lot!
Soni

1. We initially migrated from 6.0 to 10g release 1 (9.0.4). Since then we upgraded 10gR1 to 10gR2 (10.1.2). When we upgraded from 10gR1 to 10gR2 development was still using 6.0 (we had to support both 6.0 and 10g so we kept development at 6.0). That ment we didn’t upgrade to 9.0.4 forms to 10.1.2, but went back to the 6.0 forms and upgraded them to 10.1.2 directly. We have both a mid tier and an infra tier and yes we do use SSO.
2. Nope. We do have two midtier servers setup as a cluster but all load is directed to only one of the two. The other server is also our dev/test server. If the primary production server would fail we switch over to the other one by a change in the firewall. In that case we have to stop using dev/test.
3. Yep, the customized JDAPI code is available online.

Hello Wilfred,

I think I’ll be visiting your blog very often, in my company we are starting a very big migration from 6i to 10g in one of our clients.
I’m working for an IT consulting group specialized in insurance (home made software) in Barcelona, Spain.

Our first step: the proposal, of course, trying to make the best approach, reading papers, getting information from oracle sites , and looking for best practices and previous experiences…

Hi Wilfred,

How are you doing. It was nice to see your earlier comments on the blog and also I believe some comments by you on a discussion forum. (which has brought me here.)

We are about to undertake a major upgrade project of Forms 4.5 to 10g and Apps to 11.5.

Earlier I had read about a script developed by you for automating the migration process for Forms. Is it possible for 4.5 –> 10g.

[Some of my comments may bring you to a conclusion that I am not a Forms person, which is true. My job is management of the project and I have no clue whether the whole migration will take an as high mentioned by my team, and whether that is the best way.]

All our target OS’s are Unix\Linux based.

Looking forward for your reply.

Hi Agnyeya,

Our custom build Forms Migration Assistant can be found at http://www.oratransplant.nl/2005/05/30/custom-built-forms-migration-assistant/
You can download the source code and have a look. It uses the JDAPI (Java API) to open a FMB file and make the necessary changes to run it in version 10g.

For as far as I know Forms 10g can open a version 4.5 FMB so it should be possible to upgrade your forms from 4.5 straight to 10g. If it is not possible you would have to open the Forms in Forms Builder version 6i and save them back to the file system. Once they are in 6i format I’m sure you can open them with the 10g converter as that is what we did.

Be sure to make a backup of your original FMB files. Once you open and save them with a newer version of Forms, you won’t be able to open them again with version 4.5

Good luck!

Hi Wilfred;

I am trying to install Oracle 10g on a remote freebsd server, but installing using X11 is drowning us down, is there any way to install oracle without the GUI..

Comment by Samer — 7 December 2006 #
As far as I know the Universal Installer is the only way to install recent versions of Oracle products. Universal Installer does not have a character mode, it’s always graphical. You could try and setup response files for a silent install as described in the installation guide. Perhaps that will help, but I guess it can be a tedious task.

Hi Wilfred,

I am Working on Migration of Forms/Reports 6i to Forms/Reports 10g. While searching on the Net i Found your Website and it is very helpfull. i wanted know what are the chalanges you have faced during the migration of the Reports from 6i to 10g
is there any step by step procedure to migrate the Reports. if possiable please share some ur findings and if u have some usefull links regarding migration of Reports please share with me.

Thanks

Comment by Prasanna — 8 January 2007 #
We didn’t have any problems with Reports. We could just run the RDF files with the new Reports 10g without any problems.

We only had to change the way we called reports from Oracle Forms, but that’s a Forms issue. We also had to make sure to migrate the custom printer definitions we had in Oracle Reports (custom desformat parameters).

All reports ran without any modification.

Dear Sir,

I am working as Oracle DBA recently management given me task to work on application server. First I started reading documents now I have installed webcache & j2ee without infrastructure. Now I want to deploy applications we have some custom developed application in Forms6i, how to do this I have all fmbs, can you give me steps for this and how to move all forms & reports on application server, which components I should use, I need some details on it.

We are using Linux & windows!!

Thanking you in advance for your kind support!!

Thanks,

Samad,

You need more than WebCache and J2EE. You’ll need to install and configure Forms (and Reports) Services. See the documentation at http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19375_07/doc/frs/index.htm

Hi Wilfred,

We looked at your profile. It was just fantastic.You are involved in projects with over 1000 clients on internet.So,You should be the one who can help us.

We have an application on forms 10g. Our clients have problem accessing that over internet.They are not comfotable with the startup time.In LAN(10 Mbps), we could record startup times as 6-7sec. When, accessed over WAN we could record 20 - 45 sec depending on the network load.Over a 256 kbps it is taking 90 sec and Over 56 KBps line, it was not opening.

We use oracle 10g and JInitiator (1.3.1.25).

Can you help sovle this problem.

As far as we can see, there are some http requests going form client to server.
1) to invoke initial forms servlet(response:htm)
2) to get Registry.dat (response:text file)
3) to get default.dat(response:text file)
4) three requests, we could not find what they are for. (response:application\octect stream)

And significant time is spent on client between the requests as well.

we will appreciate any sort of help wilfred.

Dear Sir,

We are facing one problem on displaying reports. We configured forms & reports services on windows 2003 this machine is in domain and of course end users also in domain. The problem is when we run the report it is running successfully on server, but not displaying on clients, neither in pdf, html & excel format, we called to network people may be problem with domain or windows. But they say problem with your forms & reports.

Developers saying no problem in report because it is running successfully on server when we check under Oracle_Home/reports/cache reports are ok.

Why reports are not displaying on clients important thing there is no error message on clients.

It is very very urgent, I need your assistance in it. Please help me out!

Thanks,
Samad

Comment by samad — 9 June 2007 #
Samad,

I would have to know how you are trying to run reports. It could be a lot of things going wrong. You’re probably best off opening a service request at http://metalink.oracle.com. They have trained engineers helping you with this stuff and they can even share your desktop to have a look at the actual situation. These type of things are hard to figure out without seeing it for yourself.

Hi,
I am new to oracle stuff. I want to be a DBA.But as u know entry level jobs as DBA is a daydream.
I am an OCA. I wanted to know the future scope of Oracle forms and reports 6i. Should i learn oracle developer suite and get a fresher job.
Would this approach help me in migrating to DBA job in later future..

Thanks.

Comment by Yasir — 14 August 2007 #
Yasir,

If you want to be an Oracle DBA, the best way is to keep searching for that entry-level DBA job. Having knowledge of Forms/Reports will not help you very much in finding a DBA job. We have two DBA’s working at our company and neither of them understand Forms and Reports. They don’t have to either. There main job is with the Oracle database itself, SQL, some PL/SQL, and operating system stuff.

You could always try to get a job at an IT contractor. Most of them have opening for junior employees and it’s a great way to acquire a lot of knowledge in a short period. You will probably work for many clients and see a lot “of the Oracle world” that way.

I am an Oracle DBA working for a Canadaian Univeristy. Surfing the website, I come cross to see your blog related to Oracle Forms/Reports upgrade issues, SUN JPI plug-in, JInitiator etc. As you see, I am not a forms developer but getting to know those issues encountered when they do forms migration will really help me out. You have done a good jobs to shed the light with others. It is worth to read your blog. Thanks.

You can specify the report servr name in rwservlet.properties. This will take the report server specified as default reports server and you will not need to pass the report_sever argument at all

I have one question regarding Barcode fonts in pdf reports using oracle 10gr2 forms/reports services. When we installed barcode file on windows/fonts directory then modified ufont.ali its working fine on server itself but from the client browser when running the report its not in barcode string, its showing the original string. I read some docs its showing to embed pdf so that users can view the exact barcode, I have a barcode file .ttf, but in PDF embed it is showing .PFB or .PFM what kind of file these are how to make it.

I hope you understand my problem can you please
give me some suggestions so that I can resolve this issue…

Hi Wilfred

At the outset apologies for posting my query in the wrong place. But I couldn’t find your email id or any other link where I could send my query to you.

We are migrating our Oracle Forms 6i application to web based Oracle Forms 10g. The application runs using Sun JRE 1.5.0_05 in Internet Explorer on Windows XP.

Oracle Forms 10g uses Java classes for its own purpose which Oracle has supplied them in JAR files.

Oracle recommends that we should cache these JAR files onto the client machine in order to load the application faster.

We have followed that recommendation. The application is working well and the JAR files are also getting cached onto the client machine.

So far so good. But the real problem begins now.

On Windows XP, the Sun JRE caches these JAR files under the users’ profiles settings. Precisely the path reads
as below:
Documents and Settings\\Application data\Sun\Java\Deployment\Cache\javaapi\v1.0\jar

Storing these files has got two disadvantages:

1) Traffic, Bandwidth and Time : Since our users have got the roaming profile, all the files under their profile moves with

their Login into Windows and log-off from Windows. Not only does this network traffic incur round trip between a PC and

server, it also consumes the precious bandwidth and considerable amount of time when they login into the Windows.

2) Storage Space : As per our oraganisation’s policy, each user’s profile is allocated 8MB of space. The total size of all
the JAR files is about 4MB which leaves them with almost no space in their profile and it frequently pops-up an annoying

message “You have exceeded your profile storage space…”.

The solution to above two problems is that we store these JAR files into some other folder for e.g. C:\temp.

Changing the location of Temporary files can be done in two ways:
Solution 1) Either by going to Java Control Panel -> General tab -> Temporary Internet Files -> Settings.
OR
Solution 2) By going into deployment.properties file which resides under the Documents and Settings\\Application

Data\Sun\Java\Deployment folder.

However, Solution 1 is not feasible considering we have got more than 1000 users. Hence it is ruled out.

Solution 2 is also not feasible since deployment.properties file gets created ONLY after the Java applet is loaded first time
when the user hits URL of our application.

In view of the limitations of above two solutions, we are looking for the Registry settings of Sun JRE in which we can

specify the location of temporary files for Java.

While Googling for the Registry key, I found that in the previous version of Sun JRE i.e. 1.4.2, there was a registry key
called USER_JPI_PROFILE.

I tried creating this environment variable in the Registry but it didn’t work. I suppose that Sun has de-supported this
environment variable with the version 1.5.

Our application has not gone into production yet. But the above two issues pose a serious threat to the implementation of our application.

So here comes my question to you. Is there any Registry settings you are aware of that serves my purpose ?

Also, other than the Registry Settings, if by any other means my original problem (storing the temp. files in other folder)
could be resolved, please can you let me know ?

Any of your ideas/suggestions/help will be much appreciated.

Thank you for your time for reading such a long thread !!

Cheers

Hi Wilfred,

I am working on your technique, “Integrating Oracle Forms into Oracle ADF Faces”. I am working on JDeveloper 10.1.3 and Oracle Application Server (OAS) 10.1.2. I have successfully developed a jspx page to include an Oracle form in it. I am developing in Windows while my OAS is deployed on Linux.

My forms also have some libraries (.pll) attached. Initially I was getting an error message ORA-06508 (Program Unit Not Found), then I recomplied the plls, detached and reattached those with my form, and subsequently it started working fine on my local machine.

Now I am facing another problem. I have to deploy the ADF application on OAS 10.1.2 on Linux. When I run the my jspx page with Oracle form in it from OAS, it gives an error message “FRM-40039 Cannot attach library xxx while opening form xxx”.

As per my research on this issue, I found that the system is unable to locate the path where my libraries are residing. On my local windows machine I added the directories to my FORMS_PATH variable, but on Linux I had to look at formsweb.cfg file where I can set WorkingDirectory. Also we have a myappforms.env file with FORMS_PATH defined in it. I can assume by some testing that while running the form through my jspx web page, the system is not referring to formsweb.cfg file, as it is not running through Oracle Forms Servlet. As a result it is not finding the path where my libraries are located.

What are your suggestions in this regard? What can I do to resolve this issue?

Regards,

Amir

Comment by Amir Aman — 3 September 2008 #
Amir,

Sorry for the late reply. It looks like you are running into an issue I also had with the new . It seems that the Forms servlet doesn’t like it when the serverURL parameter has an absolute URL. It has to be a relative URL, otherwise the Forms server will not be started with the WorkingDirectory and FORMS_PATH from your specific config section.

See the OraFormsFaces issue tracker for a description of the problem and a workaround.

Comment by Wilfred van der Deijl — 4 September 2008 #
Hi Wilfred,

Thanks for your reply.

Until this stage I am using the integration method specified in Oracle Forms as Web Component Step-by-Step How to Guide.

The solution you have provided deals with OraFormsFaces, that I am currently not using.

Can you please suggest some solution for this scenario?

Thanks,

Amir

Comment by Amir Aman — 5 September 2008 #
Amir,

I think the problem is caused by the browser never making a call to the Forms servlet to get the HTML. In the Forms-As-Web-Components guide the browser never makes a call to the Forms servlet, but embeds the necessary HTML directly in the web page.
The first call being made from the client browser to the Forms server is when the Forms applet starts.

We found that this was causing a number of problems. As it turns out the Forms Servlet itself (the little bit that parses a base*.html file and returns the parsed version) also sets a number of session variables at the server side. It looks like the WorkingDirectory and FORMS_PATH is among these. Since this call is never made, the Forms server doesn’t have these session variables and uses the settings from the [default] section in the formsweb.cfg file.
You should be ok if you setup the workingdirectory and FORMS_PATH environment file there in the [default] section.

This was one of the reasons the applet HTML injection was drastically re-engineered with the OraFormsFaces solution. OraFormsFaces does let the client browser call to the Forms servlet as in a normal situation. This sets the server side variables and also ensured the solution is compatible with Oracle Single Sign On.

The Forms-As-Web-Components was really intended as a proof-of-concept, nothing more. It’s (very) rough around the edges and we’ve made numerous improvements in the OraFormsFaces product. If you are interested in integrating Forms and JSF you are much better of just using OraFormsFaces. You get the benefit of many more people using and enhancing the solution. Believe me, building this integrating yourself from the ground up is a daunting task, even with the Forms-As-Web-Components guide.

Comment by Wilfred van der Deijl — 5 September 2008 #
Hi Wilfred,

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

You are absolutely right. I have gone through the trial version of OraFormsFaces since I posted my last comment and reading the workaround in issue tracker.

You have done a nice job in developing OraFormsFaces while dealing with issue that anyone can face. We are no doubt considering using OraFormsFaces now.

Thanks,

Amir

Hi Wilfred,

Using ‘Integrating Oracle Forms into Oracle ADF Faces’ I could successfully create an applet to include the forms.

I am using a menu to call different forms in the same applet. The landing form is the welcome form. This is working fine if i open a single form but when i try to open another when a form is already open, it gives me a message that ‘Cannot navigate to Welcome’(Note: Welcome is my landing form)

Could you tell me how to resolve this issue, so that i can open multiple forms at a time.

Hope you will be able to help me out.

Hi Wilfred,

We are evaluating oraformsfaces for migrating our existing forms to j2ee environment. This product seems to be a good fit for having a good navigation between the UI.

But we have one major problem, management is looking for a solution to slowly migrating the forms to the new environment instead of embedding all the forms in side the JSP pages. They would like to provide navigation between existing forms application and the new ADF application.

Is there any possibility for passing data between the forms application and the j2ee application?

Does OraFormsfaces helps us in integrating forms env and adf env with out embedding the Oracle Forms inside ADF pages?

Thanks and Regards,

“I have one question regarding Barcode fonts in pdf reports using oracle 10gr2 forms/reports services. When we installed barcode file on windows/fonts directory then modified ufont.ali its working fine on server itself but from the client browser when running the report its not in barcode string, its showing the original string. I read some docs its showing to embed pdf so that users can view the exact barcode, I have a barcode file .ttf, but in PDF embed it is showing .PFB or .PFM what kind of file these are how to make it.

I hope you understand my problem can you please
give me some suggestions so that I can resolve this issue…”

I’m facing the same problem : Oracle Reports won’t embed my barcode font in PDF output file.

Thanks for your help.

Harry
