FORMS CONVERSION FROM ORACLE 6ITO ORACLE 10G Use the following steps to convert Oracle Forms 6i to Oracle Forms 10g. STEP 1:OPEN VIRTUAL BOX Open Linux virtual box Click Start button Username: oracle Password: oracle STEP 2:CREATE LOCAL LINUX DIRECTORY Open terminal Make new directory $ mkdir dbp_training $ mkdir suzana STEP 3:MAP NETWORK DRIVE Open windows explore Select Tools →Map Network Drive Select Drive and Folder and click Finish button Z: drive was successfully mapped STEP 4:COPY FILE Open FileZilla Insert host, username, password, port and click QuickConnect button Copy file forms which need to be converted from Z drive to directory that we created in step 2. Use drag and drop facility. STEP 5:CONVERT LIBRARY Please refer STEP 7 for details $ frmplsqlconv.sh mode=wizard Select *.pll files to compile .pll and change log=converter_pll.log STEP 6:CONVERT MENU Please refer STEP 7 for details $ frmplsqlconv.sh mode=wizard Select *.mmb files to compile .mmb and change log=converter_mmb.log STEP 7:CONVERT FORM Using the same terminal that we make directory on STEP 2 $ frmplsqlconv.sh mode=wizard The forms Migration Assistant screen will appear Click Add Module(s) Button Select *.fmb files to compile .fmb Click Next button Change log name Give name for log file Click Next button Click Finish button Give database connection and click OK button Click Continue button Log file will be created STEP 8:COMPILE LIBRARY Please refer STEP 10 for details Compile *.pll files using batch file - compilelibrary.sh $ more compilelibrary.sh # COMPILE LIBRARY for i in `ls *.pll` do echo Compile Library $i ... frmcmp_batch.sh userid=username/password@dasar batch=yes module=$i module_type=LIBRARY compile_all=yes window_state=minimize done $ . /compilelibrary.sh STEP 9:COMPILE MENU Please refer STEP 10 for details Compile *.mmb files using batch file - compilemenu.sh $ more compilemenu.sh # COMPILE MENU for i in `ls *.mmb` do echo Compile Menu $i ... frmcmp_batch.sh userid=username/password@dasar batch=yes module=$i module_type=MENU compile_all=yes window_state=minimize done $ . /compilemenu.sh STEP 10:COMPILE FORM Compile *.fmb files using batch file - compileform.sh $ more compileform.sh # COMPILE FORM for i in `ls *.fmb` do echo Compile Form $i ... frmcmp_batch.sh userid=username/password@dasar batch=yes module=$i module_type=FORM compile_all=yes window_state=minimize done $ . /compileform.sh STEP 11:CHECK ERROR Check log file. If error – modify using form builder compile again until no errors. STEP 12:COMPILE USING FORMBUILDER Open Oracle Form Builder to modify and compile library, menu and form $ cd OraHome_1/bin $ frmbld.sh Object Navigator screen will appear Open file that need to be modified Select Program → Compile Module If there are bugs/error of the library, menu and form, please fix it. Then Compile again until no errors STEP 13:CREATE NEW DIRECTORY AT SERVER Open terminal Connect to Oracle Application Server $ ssh 10.1.103.125 In dbp_training directory, create your new directory $ cd dbp_training $ mkdir suzana STEP 14:TRANSFER FILE TO SERVER On localhost terminal Go to directory that contain the file need to be transferred $ cd dbp_training/suzana Copy all file library, menu and form to the directory that we create on STEP 13 $ scp *.fmb *.fmx *.pll *.plx *.mmb *.mmx [email protected]:/home/oracle/dbp_training/suzana Insert password and press Enter STEP 15:CONFIGURATION FILE Modify form configuration files in application server $ ssh 10.1.103.125 $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/forms/server $ vi default.env add appl_directory into forms_path separate by : $ vi formsweb.cfg create new configuration for application to be access by Press <i> to edit the file Press <esc>, then type :wq! to save the changes, or :q! to exit the file without saving STEP 16:STOP AND START APPLICATION SERVER When default.env file is modified, application server need to be stop and start again check application server status $ opmnctl status stop application server $ opmnctl stopall start application server $ opmnctl startall STEP 17:DOWNLOAD PLUG-IN (J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 12) To run the application on the browser, Java plug-in need to be downloaded Use the following url to download java plug-in http://appl01.dbp.gov.my:7777/forms/jinitiator/jre-1_5_0_12-windows-i586p.exe#Version=1,5,0,12 STEP 18:TEST APPLICATION check your application. Using the following url http://appl01.dbp.gov.my:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=latihan-suzana STEP 19:ALTERNATIVE WAY TO CALL THE APPLICATION If we don’t create a configuration for application to be access by in formsweb.cfg, then use the following url to call the application http://appl1.dbp.gov.my:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=mainlalu&userid=lat ihan/latihan@dasar&width=800 STEP 20:COPY TO SECOND SERVER Repeat STEP 13 to STEP 16 for Oracle Application Server: 10.1.103.126 STEP 21:ACCESS APPLICATION THROUGH LOAD BALANCE After we make our application available on both application server i.e.; appl01: 10.1.103.125 appl02: 10.1.103.126 Then we can access the application through load balance, using the following url http://smpbd.dbp.gov.my:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=latihan-suzana
