Re: Forms 3 and 9i

2003-09-07 Thread Mogens Nørgaard
Nah, that's not neccessary. It's the same guy that took them from 7 to 8 
and who will take them from 9 to 10 :-), namely our Jutland Department 
named Johannes.

We had a meeting about iAS in the Danish user group the other day 
(OUGDK) titled Can you get by without iAS?, in other words is it 
possible to create solutions without iAS. The answer, except for Forms  
Reports, is of course yes, but you would then have to put a lot of stuff 
together yourself, and Oracle does a rather OK job on the Java front 
there. But that's another story.

The interesting discussion quickly became what to do about Forms  
Reports. Everybody agreed there isn't much of a future for these 
products, but what would they use instead? A lot of Forms-folks noted 
that 1) Forms works very well these days and 2) Java code is so much 
bigger and more complicated. So although we all pretty much agreed that 
it's Java or .Net as development platforms in the coming years, people 
would still (especially in the large shops) continue using Forms.

Yes it is posible to use Forms 3.x agenst a version 9.x database.
My friend and coworker have implanted it at site on a sun box.
The way to do this is to install Forms 3.x ( 7.2.x dist ?)
in a new $OH and apliey a Forms 4 patch (xxx) to the forms $OH.
Set the unix environment var. TWO_TASK to point to a IPC alias
to the listener that can connect to the 9.x database.
The hard part is to find the Forms 4 patch (xx) it is not possible
to order it from Oracle support but I think it as distributed with
the 7.3.x Oracle database kit !

No.  With 8 and 8i you could create an Oracle 7 home
and use that OH to host the version 3 Forms and connect
to the 8/8i database.

Not too sure this will work with 9i.

Title: Message



None, except forms 3 isn't supported for long time now, thus 
it probably doesn't work. And if it seems to work at first sight, you can't rely 
on it. You're on your own.

I was about to say wouldn't work
But considering that Oracle Applications 10.7 Character-mode Forms
2.4 works with 8.1.7,
yes, why not ? [although 2.4 might actually be a higher version
than 3.0 as 2.4
was specifically built for Apps 10.7 and the Y2K upgrades while 3.0
predates Y2K].
Of course, you won't be supported.

RE: Forms 3 and 9i

I think the real answer to the questions is - no, Forms 3 does not work with
9i.  You must convert it to Forms 6i.

Must put a stop to this stuff at some point.
