(don't laugh; I know Forms 6i is concurrent with Oracle 7.3 and it's not
secure. The app maintenance people know the apps should have been upgraded
years ago)
We have a couple of really old intranet apps written using Forms 6i, so far
we have managed to keep them running without upgrading them. One of them
is composed of over 200 forms (not counting plls, menus, reports).
I upgraded a dev database from 11.2 to 12.2., did what I could think of to
allow the old apps to connect, downgraded the listener compatibility mode
from 12 to 11, then to 8 though I think 9i might have been okay. I even
turned off mixed case logins in the database but Forms 6i still can't
connect.
Is there any way to allow Forms 6i apps to connect to 12.2?
One discussion online mentions that Forms 6i could connect to 12.1, but as
of 12.2. it really is the end of the road for this old version of forms.

I'll post on the Oracle Forms community forum and log an SR, though I can
predict what Oracle Support will tell me with their funeral director voice.
