Re: Does Forms 3.0 work on a 7.3.4 db without any migration?

Forms 3.0 appears until 7.1 versión of RDBMS. After this versión SQL*Forms change to 4.x version.
Migration is easy with migration's tools' Forms 4.x (convert tools), but if you want to work whit SQL*Forms 3.0 character there's a solution.

Follow next steps:

1.- Install software and create database from 7.3.4 version of RDBMS into a particular directory (ex: /oracle/app/product/7.3.4). Install also the SQL*Net 7.3 software and listener.

2.- Install software of Forms 3.0 from a media (tape o CD) of 7.1 version including SQL*Net 7.1 software. Don't install another software (RDBMS, ....). This installation must be do into a different directory that the point "1" (ex: /oracle/app/product/7.1.0)

3.- Configure the "tnsnames.ora" with a conection's string that references to a Database of point "1":
machine (can be the same or not), SID and Port.

4.- Run Forms 3.0 with: sqlforms30 user/pass_at_string, or runform30 user/pas_at_string xxx.fmx

IMPORTANT: SQL*Net ver 7.1 cannot work with Net 8 version. The bigest versión for SQL*Net 7.1 client is SQL*Net 7.3 server.
