Oracle 9i: From LAN to Web + WebUtil

[ptreves]

Hello,

I have a 44 forms application with 7 reports. I have forms calling
forms in a 3 level cascade. I also have forms calling reports and
forms callings stand alone forms applications.

My application is developed under Oracle Forms/Reports 6i.

I want to upgrade/migrate to Oracle 9i with the iAS (internet
Application Server) and the iDS (internet Developer Suite).

I have heard that I will have to change RUN_PRODUCT calls to
RUN_REPORT_OBJECT and OPEN_FORMS calls.

1) Are these modifications involved ?
2) Am I on the right track here ?
3) Could I do these modifications with something called WebUtil ?

Regards,

PT

You need to make the changes ... but why use a tool. With only 44 forms
you hardly have two hours of work.

Hello,

Wow...........2 hours of work only.
I am spending hours and hours pouring through technical white papers
from the Oracle Web site over this...........

With 7 reports and 43 forms, don't need to replace the RUN_PRODUCT
calls to RUN_REPORT_OBJECT and OPEN_FORMS ?? For each of the 7 reports
and form to form calls.( ?? )

Reading through the Oracle 6i Migration Guide to Oracle 9i, there is a
whole bunch of stuff to look for............compilation/runtime errors
!!!

I even heard to watch for USER_EXITS ??
------
I know I have to configure the Forms Server Services for my
Application....

Is there a better way ?
Is this kind of automotated already by the Forms Developer from Oracle
9i ?

Also ever heard of something called WebUtil and FMA (Form Migration
Assistant). DO I need that stuff or what ?

Appreciate your feedback..

Regards,

Paolo
