Forms 9.2.1 and TLS 1.2

asked on May 8, 2018

Does Forms 9.2.1 support TLS 1.2? I am curious about the SQL Server drivers necessary when running Forms 9.2 on a Windows 2008 R2 box with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 installed. We've installed the latest SQL patches and drivers from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3135244/tls-1-2-support-for-microsoft-sql-server.

On initial testing, things seem to work, but lookups from a SQL Server data source are misfiring. Wondering if the lookup mechanism is using the default SQL Server driver included with Windows rather than the newer drivers? Is there a way to force which SQL Server driver Forms uses?

Before Forms 10.1, the lookup on the forms use the default "SQL Server" driver and it doesn't support configuration, so it can't use the newer driver which name is not "SQL Server".

This has been fixed since Forms 10.1 which no longer use the ODBC driver to connect to the database instead it will use System.Data.dll for SQL Server connectivity. And you need to make sure you have applied https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3106994/hotfix-rollup-3106994-for-the-net-framework-4-0-in-windows to support TLS 1.2.

You can upgrade to latest version of Forms which is Forms 10.3.1.

Thank you for the reply! Are there any plans to create a patch for the 9.2 version of Forms?

There is no current plan to patch Forms 9.2 for this issue. This functionality was added in 10.1, and TLS 1.2 will be fully supported in 10.3.1 update 1 as well as in a soon to be released update to 10.2.1. The payment gateway integrations needed to be updated to allow for full support.
