Oracle9i Application Server Migrating from Oracle Internet Application Server 1.0.0 Release 1.0.2 for Sun SPARC Solaris Part Number A86723-01 |
|
This chapter explains the process of migrating from Oracle Form Services version 6.0.8.8 to 6.0.8.11 in Oracle9i Application Server.
The following sections explain pre-migration steps. These instructions must be followed before beginning any migration work.
Before installing Oracle9i Application Server, Release 1.0.2, shut down any Oracle Form Services running in the OLD_HOME. If you are using the default Oracle Internet Application Server configuration, this can be done by running the following command:
prompt> <
OLD_HOME>/6iserver/forms60server stop
If you have started any Oracle Form Services manually or are using Enterprise Manager, you should shut them down using the above mentioned command.
Make backup copies of the following files and directories before doing any migration tasks:
/6iserver/conf/6iserver.conf
/6iserver/forms60/server/formsweb.cfg
/6iserver/forms60/server/base.htm
/6iserver/forms60/server/basejini.htm
/6iserver/forms60.csh
/6iserver/forms60.sh
/6iserver/forms60server
The forms60server script is provided to properly setup the environment necessary to start and stop Oracle Form Services. If you have modified this script in OLD_HOME/6iserver, then you should make the same changes to the new version of the script in NEW_HOME/6iserver.
There are two additional scripts provided to enable the Forms executables to run from the command line in a shell executable:
Again, if you have made changes to these scripts in OLD_HOME/6iserver, then the same changes should be made to these scripts in NEW_HOME/6iserver.
The following sections explain changes you must make to your configuration files for Oracle Form Services to continue to work as it did with Oracle Internet Application Server, Release 1.0.0.
You will need to make changes to the configuration files in Table 8-1.
Many of the paths in the old 6iserver.conf file reference the old Oracle home, so do not copy the old 6iserver.conf file from OLD_HOME to NEW_HOME. You should instead apply any changes made in the old file to the new version.
You can safely replace this configuration file with your old file. If you choose to make this replacement, you should also manually add lines from the new file to your existing configuration file as follows:
archive_ie=
and archive_jini=
from formsweb.cfg in NEW_HOME.
You can safely replace the base HTML files in NEW_HOME with your old base HTML files. Simply copy any base HTML files you have to NEW_HOME.
You will need to manually copy any Forms applications deployed using Oracle Internet Application Server, Release 1.0.0 in OLD_HOME to NEW_HOME. This process will vary from application to application. Approach this requirement as if you are deploying your application to a completely new installation. If you are migrating from Oracle Internet Application Server, Release 1.0.0, then you are not required to re-generate any portion of your Forms applications with this release.
No tools migration tasks are necessary.
