Forms and Reports Conversion Step:

Step 1. Rename all source_code into lower_case.

Step 2. Compile *.pll, *.mmb, *.fmb, *.rdf and Convert plsql to 6i using batch

Step 3. Check any problem creating executable files (fmx, rep) – most of the problems
are with the synonym name that include dblink. Recreate synonym.

Step 4. Open Linux virtual box. Backup appl_directory by rename to

old_appl_directory. Create new appl_directory.

Step 5. Open Fizella - Ftp all 6i files pll, *.mmb, *.fmb, *.rdf into Linux virtual box new
appl_directory.

Step 6. Convert library

$ frmplsqlconv.sh mode=wizard
Select *.pll files  to compile .pll and change log=converter_pll.log

Step 7. Convert menu

$ frmplsqlconv.sh mode=wizard
Select *.mmb files  to compile .mmb and change log=converter_mmb.log

Step 8. Convert form

$ frmplsqlconv.sh mode=wizard
Select *.fmb files  to compile .fmb and change log=converter_fmb.log

Step 9. Copy rp2rro.pll & EnableDisableItem.pll from /u01/app/oracle/forms to current

working directory. rp2rro.pll - converted file will use this library in order to
run_report_object. EnableDisableItem.pll – converted file will use this library in order
to enable and disable item.
$ cp /u01/app/oracle/rp2rro.pll .
$ cp /u01/app/oracle/EnableDisableItem.pll .

Step 10. Set oracle environment in order to execute any form and report command
$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle
$ export ORACLE_TERM=VT220

Step 11. Convert *.rdf report files using batch file - convertreport.sh
$ more convertreport.sh
# CONVERT REPORTS
for i in `ls *.rdf`
do
echo Convert Report $i ...
rwconverter.sh userid=username/password@dasar batch=yes
source=$i stype=rdffile dtype=rdffile overwrite=yes
compile_all=yes
done

$ . /convertreport.sh
Step 12. Convert *.pll report 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 13. Convert *.mmb report 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 14. Convert *.fmb report 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 15. Convert *.rdf report files using batch file - compilereport.sh
$ more compilereport.sh
# COMPILE REPORTS
for i in `ls *.rdf`
do
echo Convert Report $i ...
rwconverter.sh userid=latihan/password@dasar batch=yes
source=$i stype=rdffile dtype=repfile overwrite=yes
compile_all=yes
done

$ . /compilereport.sh
Step 16. Check log file. If error – modify using form builder or report builder and
compile again until no more errors. You need to set oracle environment before run the
following command (Step 10).

Open Oracle Form Builder to modify library, menu and form

$ frmbld.sh&

You can compile library, menu and form in form builder using Ctrl-T

Open Oracle Report Builder to modify report

$ rwbuilder.sh&

Open Oracle Report Converter to compile report

$ rwconverter.sh&

Compile .pll using command line

$ frmcmp_batch.sh userid=username/password@dasar batch=yes
module=filename.fmb module_type=LIBRARY compile_all=yes

Compile .mmb using command line

$ frmcmp_batch.sh userid=username/password@dasar batch=yes
module=filename.fmb module_type=MENU compile_all=yes

Compile .fmb using command line

$ frmcmp_batch.sh userid=username/password@dasar batch=yes
module=filename.fmb module_type=FORM compile_all=yes

Compile .rdf using command line

$ rwconverter.sh userid=latihan/password@dasar batch=yes
source=reportname.rdf stype=rdffile dtype=repfile overwrite=yes
compile_all=yes

Step 17. Connect to Oracle Application Server. Create new directory.

$ ssh 192.168.1.213
$ pwd
/home/oracle
$ ls appl_directory

If exist then rename appl_directory to old_appl_directory

$ mv appl_directory old_appl_directory

If not exist then create appl_directory

$ mkdir appl_directory
$ exit

Step 18. Transfer local linux files to application server

$ scp *.pll *.plx *.mmb *.mmx *.fmb *.fmx *.rdf *.rep
oracle@192.168.1.213:/home/oracle/appl_directory

Step 19. Convert *.ico to *.gif using IrfanView. eg: C:\dbp\gif\*.gif

Step 20. Create jar file for *.gif

C:\dbp\gif>C:\<Oracle Home>\jdk\bin\jar.exe –cvf <new file name>.jar *.gif

Step 21. Use Filezilla to ftp .jar to

oracle@192.168.1.213:/u01/app/oracle/OraHome_1/forms/java/
Step 22. Modify form and report configuration files in application server
$ ssh 192.168.1.213
$ pwd
/home/oracle
$ . envIAS
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/forms/server
$ vi default.env  add appl_directory into forms_path separate by :
$ vi formsweb.cfg  create new configuration for appl to be access by user eg:
dbp-hr
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
$ vi reports.sh  add appl_directory into reports_path separate by :

Step 23. Stop and Start Application Server (only if default.env and reports.sh is
modified)
$ opmnctl status  check status appl server
$ opmnctl stopall  stop appl server
$ opmnctl status  check status appl server make sure already down
$ opmnctl startall  start appl server

Step 24. Open Notepad with run .exe as Administrator. Open file
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. Add the following command:
192.168.1.213 dbpmid.dbp.gov.my dbpmid

Step 25. check your appl. Using the following url

http:192.168.1.213:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=dbp-hr

Step 26. Test your appl. If your applications return error then repeat step 16 to step
18.
