Do you know if Oracle Forms 6i are supported by Oracle? If yes, when Oracle will discontinue support? What are the implication of the discontinuation?

Thanks in advance,
Andrey.

Version 6i of Forms is no longer supported. I recommend that you go to version 10.1.2 which is the latest version and the version that will have the longest period of support from today's date.

Does it mean that Oracle Forms 6i will not be patched anymore? What other problems can arise if I continue to use Oracle Forms 6i?

Thank you for your help !!!

It means that yes and it means that we won't certify it with new version of operating systems and Java VMs.
Here are the desupport details for Forms 6i:

Error Correction Support (ECS): 31-JAN-2005
Extended Support (ES): 31-JAN-2008
Extended Maintenance Support (EMS): 31-JAN-2007

Error Correction refers to bug fixes and patches.

One minor thing, 6i Forms is still supported IF running in the context of Oracle Applications - otherwise no (as already stated).

While your application may still be working fine, one of the issues is the fact you are lagging further abd further behind the latest certified software for the OS, teh database etc.
For anyone running their production data this may be a risk that can't be taken.
