Hello,
Due to a switch to a new server (merging 2 servers) my application schema name has changed from <app_schema> to <site_app_schema>. Still the forms (Forms 9i on a OAS) should continue to be usable.
I found that just changing the data source name in the data block is not enough. What did I forget ?
Thanks in advance for the answer.
Greetings
Ralf

It seems that you used 'schema.table' notation. Not a very good idea, huh?

What did you miss? Check all PL/SQL structures (triggers, procedures, packages), record groups, maybe even default WHERE clauses or FROM clause data block sources. Happy hunting!

Thanks for the tip. I am looking forward too (not) Sad

The reason I took the schema.table notation was, (or is for that matter), that I have not only one but aprox. 50+ schemas. Happy hunting indeed.

Why does the fact that there are many schemas in your database implies 'schema.table' notation? When you wrote the application, before anyone started to work with it he/she had to connect to specific schema providing username and password. It means that, at a time, it is possible to connect to only one schema. Right? If you had to use tables/whatever owned by other users, you could have created synonyms and use them.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't know how to help you ... perhaps there's a (free?) utility (search the Internet) which is capable of changing a string in (all?) files in a directory in one pass. You know, something like
What to change? -> app_schema.
Change to what? -> site_app_schema.
You could change it through .INP, .RDF, .SQL files and then compile them to get executables.

INP???
What ancient version of Forms did you use last? (inp was afaik last used in v3) But then again, that does not match the RDF-extension

I apologize; I meant FMB, not INP.

I did use SQL*Forms 3.0 today, migrating data from old database/application to new database/application. Similarly, REX would stand for RDF in more recent versions.

I know you did, just teasing.

If you convert your FMBs to FMTs, they are readable and (ascii-)editable.

From memory - FormsTool at http://www.orcl-toolbox.com/ has a facility to change things like this.
