4. View the Exhibit.

The Orders form was developed using Forms 6i and uses RUN_PRODUCT to call an invoice report. You used the Oracle Forms Migration Assistant to upgrade the Orders form, which changed the RUN_PRODUCT call to use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT.

You run the upgraded form and click the Invoice button, which invokes the report. However, you receive the error message that is shown in the exhibit.

What should you do to avoid this problem?

A. Set the REPSERV environment variable before running the Migration Assistant.

B. There is no way for the Migration Assistant to know the reports server name, so you must modify the form after upgrading it to specify which reports server to use.

C. Run the Migration Assistant with the REPSERVNAME command line argument to specify the reports server.

D. Set the default REPORTS_SERVERNAME Migration Assistant property to specify the name of the reports server to be used when converting RUN_PRODUCT calls.

E. Set the SERVER= property in the Reports Servlet properties file; the Migration Assistant looks here to find the default reports server when converting RUN_PRODUCT calls.

11. You are running a multiple-form application. The Customers form invokes the Orders form. When the Orders form launches, it displays orders for only the active customer from the Customers form.

16. View the Exhibit.

You are upgrading an application to the latest version of Oracle Forms that was previously deployed only in client/server. When you test the upgraded application, you notice that icons do not appear on the buttons (as shown in the exhibit). When you ran the application in client/server with Forms 6i, icons appeared on the buttons Because there are many icon buttons, you are concerned about generating frequent round-trips to the application server to display icons on the buttons, so you convert the icons to .gif files and place them in a JAR file. You modify the Forms Servlet configuration file to set IMAGEBASE to CODEBASE and include the name of the JAR file in the appropriate ARCHIVE parameter. Where should you locate the JAR file on your application server machine so that it is downloaded to the client to reduce subsequent network traffic?

A. Place the icon JAR file in any directory on the application server machine, and set the UI_ICON environment variable to the physical location of the JAR file.

B. Place the icon JAR file in the JAVA subdirectory of the FORMS90 (or FORMS) directory under the iAS $ORACLE_HOME on the application server machine.

C. Place the icon JAR file in any virtual directory on the application server machine, and set ICONPATH in the Forms registry file to the virtual directory where the JAR file is located.

D. Place the icon JAR file in any directory on the application server machine, and set the FORMS90_PATH (or FORMS_PATH) environment variable to include that directory.

Answer: B

18. There are several forms in your Forms 6i application that perform SELECT statements in triggers and program units to extract some information from an ARCHIVES table. As part of the upgrade to the latest version of Oracle Forms, you have split the ARCHIVES table by year. The current table is now called ARCHIVES2001, so you want to change all occurrences of ARCHIVES in your PL/SQL code to ARCHIVES2001.

A. RULES.PROPERTIES

B. FORMS90.PROPERTIES (or FORMS.PROPERTIES)
