2-tier form/server implementation

Hi all,
Where can I find information to implement 2-tier (client/server) with Developer 6i?
Is it possible to do it without installing form/report server?
Thanks in advance!

Dear
All you have to do is to install Forms, Reports Runtime on the client machine. Make a connect string referencing the Server. You can use either 'SQL Easy Configuration' or manually edit 'Tnames.ora' file found in
%ORACLE%\net80\admin\

2-Tier form/report implementation!

Hi all,

Thanks in advance!

For client/server application you don't need
form/report server.
All information you can find in this directory:
<<oracle_home>>\TOOLS\DOC60\us\guide60\.
There are *.htm files and also guide60.pdf.

Oracle forms server implementation on single machine

I am using windows xp on my system.
can I run the developer 6i forms .FMX file from browser (internet explorer), after installing oracle forms server??
which operating system should we use to implement forms server.
while installing form server on windows xp a message was displayed like 'some files can be installed on
windows NT only'. I am not sure wheather the forms server will work on windows xp?
My requirement is I want to run the .FMX file from Internet explorer in my system i.e using single machine.
plz clarify.
with thanks
GMS

can I run the developer 6i forms .FMX file from browser (internet explorer), after installing oracle forms server??The answer is yes if you can get it to install.
I think you will need a FQHN (Host name with DNS).
which operating system should we use to implement forms server?We used Linux, Red Hat 4 AS, But I think you could use Windows 2003 with that version. I would avoid Windows NT at this point.
I have no information on using XP, I'm pretty sure I would not. I would use a server OS.

How to improve performance of Oracle Forms Server ?

Recently we converted our Application which was Developed in Forms 5.0 and Reports 3.0 into Forms6i to host that on to Web. We also loaded ORACLE 9iAS (on Windows NT 4 with service pack 3) from "Enterprise Edition" option by selecting Oracle Database Cache, Forms Server and Reports Server, HTTP Server(on port 80),Oracle Web Cache. Everything loaded succesfully including Caches.
Forms server is working perfectly and we were able to run our Application in Browser, but performance is the issue. We thought the caches will improve the performance, but it seems they are not at all working. When we run a report or form the Database cache is not giving any statistics whether a particular Query is a Hit or Miss though the cache is running. We got a doubt and searched in FAQ's and we found the following questions.
Oracle9iAS Web Cache Frequently Asked
Questions February 2001
Does Oracle9iAS Web Cache work with applications that use Oracle9iAS Forms?
Not in the 1.x release of Oracle9iAS. Integration between Oracle9iAS Web Cache and Oracle9iAS Forms will be addressed at a future date.
Oracle9iAS Database Cache
Does the Cache work with Oracle Forms and Portal in Oracle9i AS?
Since Oracle Forms and Portal utilize read/write PL/SQL stored procedures, these components cannot take advantage of the Cache. This support is being considered for a future version.
After coming to know that Caches doesnot boost the performance of Oracle Forms and reports. We have the following queries.
1) Clarify whether the above are True.
2) Apart from DB and Web Cache is there any other way where in we can improve the performance of Oracle Forms and Reports in Forms Server including the start up time.
3) What is the ideal configuration required for each tier (iAS Server,Database Server and Client) to host Forms on to Web considering our application as Medium scale.
(Presently our configuration are,
Application Server Configuration : Windows NT 4 with service pack 3,256 MB RAM,1 GB Virtual memory and 4GB free space and almost the same configuration is being used for
Database Configuration.
Client Configuration : Windows 98 with 64MB RAM).
4) Is there any way to track the performance and know the problem areas like TRACE.

A couple of questions for you:
1) What version of IAS are you using?
2) What's the version of Forms&Reports and
3) What version of patch are you using if any
for forms&Reports?
4) What applications are you running on the
machine where Forms&Reports is installed?
(I mean non-Oracle applications?)
The problem could be that, the base addresses
of the DLL's in Forms&Reports could be having base address conflicts with some other application's DLL's.
Forms and Reports needs to be fully rebased to achieve full performance on NT. Before release of Forms and Reports, Oracle rebases all DLLs. Rebasing assigns unique base addresses to all of the DLL's in use by an executable. A properly based DLL will load at its preferred base address, greatly improving the efficiency of memory utilization and the runtime performance of the executable.
Multiple utilities are available on NT to verify proper rebasing of DLLs. HandleEx v4.0 is one such freeware from Sysinternals and is available at www.sysinternals.com. Some others are "depends.exe" that's part of the MS Visual Studio or msinfo32.exe that comes with Office 2000 on NT.
If after running any of these utilities you discover that the DLL's ar not properly rebased, you need to contact Oracle worldwide support.
If you find that rebasing is not the problem, then please post your feedback again. Hope this helps.

Infrastructure and forms server into same machine

Dear friends,
I am faching strange problem
, I install 9ias(9.0.2.0.1) infrastucture and form server into same machine,
after sucessfull installation it is mention infrastucture will run the port 7777 and form will 7778,
but after just installation it work into these ports but when i restats the system then port of infrastucture change and it is 7779.
now if i run forms the it give internal error 500,
then I stop fist infrastucture http server then http server of form
and again first start infrastucture hhtp server then form http server
now agin infrastructure server port id 7779(insted of 7777)
but now my form work properly.
every day i do this job , but some time this method fails then i have to again install server and have to repeate above mention job .
pls help me
With regards
Siddharth Singh

Mid-tier listens on a lot of ports. On a std install (with both Infra and Mid-tier) Web-cache listens on port 7778 "in front of" httpd for OHS on 7779. So perhaps you forget to start web-cache? (run from BI home: webcachectl)
Perhaps the problem with Forms is related to X Toolkit?

Forms server on Different OS

Hi
I am using R12.1.2 Application with 10.2.0.4 database. configuration is like
Node 1 : Database and CM node
Node 2 : Web, application, forms.
my existing configuration is is running on HP-Unix 11.11 version.
I want to add one more form server which should run on Linux. can i do like this? what issue i will face if i am doing like this. kindly suggest which flavor of linux will be more compatible.
Thanks
Krishna

Krishna,
According to the installation manual, you can add more than one application tier node and specify different OS for each node. However, I would suggest you log a SR (as mentioned above) to confirm with Oracle support.

How use form server

i install form server
when i use run form web icon in object navigator
i see this error message:
FRM-18121: The JavaBean does not implement the IView interface.
Cause: For Forms to use this JavaBean, it must implement
Oracle Forms IView interface.
Action: Implement Oracle Forms oracle.forms.ui.IView
Interface.
i cant understand please help me.
regards
shoja.

If this is 6i it's because you have not installed the Forms server component. This might also happen if you are in a Windows platform such as Win95/98 that does not support the Forms Server - you need NT or 2000

Frm-92101 there was a failure in the forms server during startup after R12.2

Hi All,
I have install the multinode(2 Node) R12.2 on CentOS 6 with no issues, while launching java forms it is showing "frm-92101 there was a failure in the forms server during startup"
I had this same issue before when I install R12.1.1 so I check log file at $LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.3/opmn/forms_default_group_1/formsstd.out.
I resolved the issue by installing openmotif package,However in 12.2 the file directory changes can you please help to resolve this issue.
Please help me to resolve this issue in 12.2?
Thanks & Regards,
Rahul.k

I have install the multinode(2 Node) R12.2 on CentOS 6 with no issues
This is not a supported OS. The list of supported Linux OS is in (Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.2) for Linux x86-64 (Doc ID 1330701.1)).
while launching java forms it is showing "frm-92101 there was a failure in the forms server during startup"
Is it from the same Linux server? If yes, Linux is not supported as a client tier node -- Recommended Browsers for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 (Doc ID 389422.1)

@oracle team; forms server help desparately needed

hi
my company is trying to migrate client machines to linux. our setup should be the following:
database <-> forms server <-> linux client with applet viewer
v9.2.....................v9i.................debian 3.0, j2sdk1.3
i am working on this setup for some months(!) now but i cannot get the clients to communicate stable with the rest of the setup.
problem: quite frequently the appletviewer will just hang and cause the forms server to create a
f90webm_dump_`$PID` file
in its working directory containing the following information:
[Mon Jan 20 21:58:29 2003 CET]::Client Status [ConnId=0, PID=10033]
>> Network connection to client failed: timeout on connection
the people working on the client machines are quite quickly inputting data into our databases. the appletviewer will hang more often on machines < 500 MHz but it also hangs on machines with more than 1.5 GHz and 512 MB DDR
i have literally tried everything:
i tried these java versions:
1.1, 1.3_x, 1.4.1 from sun, blackdown, ibm and even the one that came with the forms server on the clients
i tried to tune every setting on the forms server and in the jvm.cfg. i even tried to install the forms server on the clients so that i would have one tcp connection less to definitely exclude network failure as a possible reason.
i tried to use the PREEMPT_CLOSE setting, i even patched the kernels (low latency patch), analysed megabytes of debug logging, tried to strace the appletviewer to find WHY it keeps hanging!!!!
i tried to use different linux versions for best compatibility on the clients as well as on the forms server:
debian potato, woody, sarge, sid
suse 7.1, 7.2, 7.3
redhat 7.2, 7.3
i have read almost ALL documentation you could possibly read to find the reason of this problem.
dear oracle team
PLEASE just tell me that you have even tested this product and that you know how to make it work in a stable way. we can even pay you money to give us the solution. we have been using oracle forms for 7 years now and we want to stick with it. but our clients HAVE to be able to run the linux OS.
i have posted this problem 2 or 3 times already but somehow either noone seems to read this or noone has ever tried to use a three tier setup with linux on the middle and the client tier.
as i said i have wasted MONTHS already trying to get this to work and i am out of ideas what could cause this.
thanks for ANY reaction
armin walland

sorry for not responding a few days, i didnt have the possibility to do so.
if you access and run the application from a Windows
client using JInitiator, what happens.i have tried that of course and it seemed to be stable. (no hang in about 2 and a half days). i dont think it is a problem on the forms server itself...maybe just some setting that doesnt cooperate well with the appletviewer.
Since we don't
certify Forms9i with appletviewer, we didn't test it
there.thats what i thought to be honest....since you say "we"; do you work for oracle?
So first thing to do is to check if the
problem is a client issue or a server side problem.seems more like a client proble to me though....somehow it looks like some deadlock or race condition, but im not a programmer so this could be a completely wrong impression.
If youi can, can you try a test on a Windows client?as i said b4, we tried that and it seemed to work finely but it was to test the server and ensure it isnt a complete misconfiguration issue :)
rgds, armin

Apache and form server check

HI,
i have three nodes in middle tier and each node contains apache and form server , so now how to check these servers is up or not?

The Enterprise Manager Console lets you administer your servers.
See the Administrator's Guide for details. I think it really helps if you read that guide.

Forms Developer vs Forms Server

Hello All,
What is diffence between Oracle Forms Developer and Oracle Forms Server?
when should we use Oracle Forms Server?
Regards,
DN

Hi there,
In brief and without getting too technical...
Oracle Forms Developer is the tool that you use to build the source Form files (FMB) and you need to compile the FMB files into FMX files before it can be executed. The current version of Forms Builder is 10g. The software is part of a suite of software products commonly known as 9ids/10ids.
Oracle Forms Server is the middle tier software that executes the FMX files. This software is old technology (refers to verion 6/6i). The current middle tier software is called 9ias/10ias of which Forms Services is one of the modules.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
John

Cursor Style, Forms Web Implementation 6.0

I am using the Forms server 6.0 with static HTML to display
forms over Intranet. The cursor styles through SET APPLICATION
PROPERTY builtin does not seem to change the cursor in the
browser. (Works fine when I test the form in Client/Server
environment.) Tried it with both IE 4.0 and NetScape 4.5. I did
not see in Developer 6.0 documentation that Cursor Style is not
available in Web implementation.
Has anyone used cursor styles successfully with Developer 6.0 in
static Web Implementation?

How Cartridge works in OAS/form server

Hi, guys:
I am deploying forms to the web.
Since the base HTML file for cartridge implementation is the
same as that for non-cartridge implementation, I really can not
figure out how the OAS/form server knows if using Cartridge or
non-cartridge implementation. (ie: Do I need call the
Cartridge in my base HTML?)
Your help is highly appreciated.

Sherry,
Is the cartridge necessary for internet (browser) deployment or
just from intranet (application) deployment?

FORMS SERVER help ASAP

I know this is era of 9iAS.But one of our clients has Forms 6i and Forms server and its not cost effective for them to buy high-end server for implementing 9iAS.So is it alright to implement such an architecture with Oracle 8i as back-end.Is there any issue of Oracle support expiration for Forms Server.Since I have migrated client server architecture based forms and reports to 9iAS, I am not too sure of how to do the same without 9iAS. Is web-enabling of forms in 9iAS same as with Forms server.Please help , as we have to provide solution feasibilty report to our clients.
Thanks in advance,
Ankush

I don't know anything about suport,but,I can tell you that is easy to install a forms/reports server after you have a apache,iis or some other web listener installed on your server...

Forms server 6 problems

We've Form Server 6 patch 3 running on an NT box SP5 with OAS 4.0.8 (cartridge implementation). We've some forms that execute reports with RUN_REPORT_OBJECT built in (repformat PDF); Sometimes forms server seems to be in a loop and users can't have their reports ... so we need to shutdown and restart !
Is there anyone with these problems ?

Sorry, folks. Forgot the obvious. Compiling on the destination architecture fixed the problems.
