Noel,
I have a client in the same boat as you and I resolved it as follows.
1. We left oracle 7.1 with forms3 installed as was and deinstalled all things
not used anymore like the db stuff
2. We installed 7.3
3. We set up the two task. If you configure the sqlnet properly it will us IPC
instead of tcp/ip, but is doesn't matter that much. IPC is a bit faster because
it is interprocess communication and doesn't go through the TCP/IP stack.
4. All the connection information is in the tnsnames.ora file inclusing SID, so
you only have to specify the alias like scott/triger_at_prod1.
5. <i'm not sure about getting the forms tables from one database and importing
into another its more to do with the actual libs and binaries installed in
oracle_home
than the database contents, hence the need for 2 oracle_homes>
Yes that is correct and that is why you use the TWO_TASK ( net connection )
