( or maybe, however, installing on WIn7 using XP mode will work ). When the moment will arrive, I will gladly look into all the problems / hacks,īut, I will still have to find somebody from the DBA team "in a good enough mood"Īnd having the time to deal with such a "hacked installation" While for 10g we only use the Forms component, without the Reports and without aĬomplete Application server installation, which is therefore simpler. Of the installation problems related to the Application Server, which is required for 11g, We do not use Oracle Business Suite, therefore, in our firm Forms10g is not consideredĪs a product that stands in the center of attention, though, there are some very important applications that use it.Īs far as I understood, the migration to Forms11g is not actual at this moment because Unfortunately, I was not "involved enough" in any tests that were performed (or not), "how life will look" AFTER that change, so, this is why I am trying to understand where exactlyĪre the problems that prevent a normal and standard installation of Forms10g on a Win7 machine. My opinion is that before you decide on any change, you should check very thoroughly Regarding Forms, I have a long history behind, including some version upgrades / configurations that theoretically were NOT supported by Oracle, but which were very successful. That Oracle support would even not dare to solve or to advise us to do what we do … We use a lot of hacks, me especially, including some database hacks, for solving problems To develop on my own machine, things will stay as they are. So I kept my machine with Win XP, with the conviction that until I will not be able to continue I was the *ONLY* one who did not agree to such an arrangement, The firm decided to upgrade *ALL* the client machines to Win7, and Forms developersĬontinue to develop on a *SERVER* machine. In my case, it was MY decision, and NOT that of the firm. Hopefully, I will soon have a Win7 machine for my personal home use,Īnd then maybe I will be able to better understand what exactly is best to do. Some more time ago they also performed some tests related to the WebLogic server,įor a possible attempt to upgrade to Forms11g (which is compatible with Win7),īut not yet finalized, so this will probably not happen in the near future. The alternative was to always connect to another server for development, This is also the main reason that I still remained with my old XP machine, Who tested and decided that Forms10g cannot be installed on Win7. Unfortunately I depend on ny DBA team for performing installations, and they were those I know that hacks also do exist, but I’m afraid that if we go this way and then encounterĪny kind of problems, then we will get no support, because Oracle "does not officially support In Win7, I also thought that using this mode is the most standard way to continue to use It sounds that my supposition was correct, once I know that an "XP mode" is available
