Forms and reports server characterset aix

My database is in UTF8 mode and is displaying all characters correctly.
However when I run a report using the forms and reports server it uses Western European Character Set.
I have tried re-installing forms and reports server in order to fix this characterset issue, however I am not prompted for a characterset at installation time, so the forms and reports server is still set to the Western European Character Set, thus, some characters are not being displayed (inverse ?).
I have tried specifying UTF8 for NLS_LANG in reports.sh but I only get garbage displayed.
Can someone point me in the right direction please

This issue has now been resolved. Changing the NLS_LANG setting in reports.sh to POLISH_POLAND.UTF8 was correct. The issue then was that greek symbols were displayed. This was a font issue and was resolved by amending a file
$ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/AFM/fontname (where fontname is the characterset you are using,eg in my case Courier ).
the Change was to amend the line:
EncodingSchemeProperty AdobeStandardEncoding
to read
EncodingSchemeProperty FontSpecific
This fixed the problem for me , but Oracle also advise to amend the file $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/Tk2Motif.rgb:
eg change the below line from:
!Tk2Motif*fontMapCs: iso8859-2=EE8ISO8859P2
to:
Tk2Motif*fontMapCs: iso8859-2=UTF8 (or whatever charcterset you are using).
Note that the exclamation mark has been removed.
Read Oracle Note 300416.1

How to debug a form (servlet) in the Forms and Reports Server

Hi:
I have a new install of an application that ran perfectly on a different host using the Forms and Reports Server.
I have installed the FRS on the new host and it is working fine. I can run the test form.
When I run my actual forms app, I only get a blank screen in the browser and on the status bar it reports "Applet Started'.
Is there a way I can turn on debugging or something so I can see at what point it is failing or why the form is not opening properly?
Any advise would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
Bruce

Thanks for the reply Frank. I have looked all through the Start menu but see no "Configuration and Migration". I assume it's because I only installed the Forms and Reports option, so I only have Forms Services, Reports Services, and the Universal Installer. No big deal - I've already setup tnsnames manually. I just like to use the Net Assistant when I can.

Shell script to start forms and reports server on reboot

Does anyone have on shell script to automatically start up the forms and reports server on unix after a reboot?

I also recompiled the "test.fmb" that came with the 10g Forms and Server on my windows xp machine and when I downloaded it back to the Linux Forms and Server machine, it loss the functionality of the "OK" button which is suppose to perform "exit_form" when pressed.
BTW, I am using 10G developer suite on windows xp.

How to run Net Configuration Assistant on 10g Forms and Reports server

I have a Windows 2000 server with Forms and Reports Services installed from AS 10g v. 9.0.4 (just the Forms and Reports install). According to the OUI, Net Configuration Assistant 9.0.4 is also installed. However I cannot figure out how to run the Net CA. There is no shorcut that I can find. Can anyone help?

Oracle Forms and Report Server and MS IIS Coexists in one Server

Dear All,
I have a Windows 2003 Server with two IPs and have IIS bind (10.1.1.20) to one IP and Oracle (10.1.1.21) bind to the other. But only one service can only run at any one time. Can someone help on how to make the two coexist on port 80 on different IP on one machine. Thanks.
Regards,
Kueh.

Default settings for forms session timeout is 15 Minutes. But heartbeat parameter (default 2 minutes) doesn't allow AS to close idle sessions. So define heartbeat=20 in your formsweb.cfg file.
As far as reports are concerned set engineResponseTimeout="15" in your report server configuration file. This setting will not allow any report to remain in the queue for more than 15 minutes.

Forms and report server on same machine

dear fellows if i install form 6i server and after it install
report server they override each others setting and only one
runs (later ) any help
thankx

Look at the listener/cfg directory at the webdbsvr.cfg file and
back up the directory mappings there.
some of them are getting overriden when you install reports
after forms. Just add them back to the file after you finish the
installation.

Printer Problem In Oracle Forms And Reports server

Hi,
I am facing a problem regarding installation of printer drivers in my Reports Server (10.1.2.0.2 on Windows 2003).
Unless the printer driver is installed locally on the Report Server Reports are not printing.
The problem is with the USB printers at various location .
How to install the printer in this case.
Any one can help in this regards.
Regards,
Kumar

I think that specific drivers are needed always when you need to print in windows enviroments, with or without report server, locally or remotely. If windows "see" the printer, report server does too.

10gAS forms and report server

Hi ,
Where in the application server can we specify, the cache directory the browser or apache has to look for the report output after report has run.
MY issue is that , I run a report and the browser shows it up. But when i add the parameter pagestream=YES in the report URL ,it says page not found.
This happens in a linux environment but not when the same report is run ona 10gas windows env.
Any help in this regard is appreciated
Thanks,
Ashok

Ashok,
its in the Reports Services configuration file itslef. The page streaming is handeld by Reports, not in Apache. I would try this question on the Reports forum here on OTN in case you hit a known issue.

Form and report server with oracle 10g express edition

how to ?

tnsnames.ora , that was problem I thank you very much....for the prompt reply..
there are only hr, sys, system database in Oracle XE. Scott/tiger database is obviously not available in Oracle XE edition. Is it true?
Unfortunately it will be very difficult to help you
because you have not provided any details about
whatever your problem is. That said, there is no
reason why you cannot use Forms 9.0.4 or 10.1.2 with
Oracle XE. This does not necessarily mean that
either version is certified or supported for use with
XE, but there is no obvious reason why it won't
work.
All that is necessary is that you add the correct
entry to the tnsnames.ora file which resides in the
Forms/Reports Oracle home.I thank you for the reply

Application server forms and reporte

We have linux server redhat5, we installed the forms and reports 10g, now its working fine but client needs to change the with out port,
so we want use with out port in our url: http://<hostname>/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
How to configure the default Port in Forms and Reports server, currently "http://ip:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil" is being used,
but it is wanted the following instead: "http://ip/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil"
any one help me in this .

Your question is marked as ANSWERED, so people don't want to look here..
I don't understand why do you need this? Just link change? Does apache redirection can help you, or you want to achieve something else?

Installing Oracle 10g Forms and Reports in Cluster Mode

Dear All,
My OS version is RHEL 4
In our current setup we have oracle 10g database two node cluster and Application Server 10g to node cluster.
Currently our report server has been configured to run in standalone mode
I have been asked to configure oracle 10g forms and report server in cluster mode.
Please provide me with the documentation link to configure oracle 10g reports server in cluster mode.
Thanks and Regards
Monoj Das

my main goal is load balancing only
Then what I've done in 2007 might be what you need. In that thread there is a link to Web Cache Administrator's Guide : there you'll find everything you need to configure the web cache as a load balancer, particularly chapter 8 Setup and Configuration.
Anyway, here briefly some configurations : we have two machines, say MachineA and MachineB. The DNS resolves MachineA to a virtual address, which is normally assigned to MachineA; if MachineA crashes, it gets assigned to MachineB.
Users URL looks like this : http://MachineA:<port>/forms/frmservlet?config=<some config>
MachineA's web cache distributes connection requests between MachineA and MachineB.
Of course we're now using 11g as well, but that's another thing.

Deploy Forms and Reports with Load Balancing

I am trying to determine what we need to install here. I have read OracleAS, Web Cache, Application Server, and
Forms documents and have no answer still.
We are currently run 9iAS with Forms and Reports 6i only.
I did not do any of those installs. We are migrating to
Forms and Reports 10g. I need to setup an OracleAS 10g
Forms and Reports application server with the ability to
do Load Balancing over 2 windows Web servers to handle
4,000+ users. The application database will be on its own
Windows server.
Do I need to install the Infastructure, BI, and Web cache?
Or just Oracle 10g Application Server option? Or other?
Do I need to install it on both web servers and do
something like clustering? Do I need to install Web
cache? I just took the 10g AS class and basically did not learn anything about deploying Forms and Reports.
Can anyone give me a place to find the things I need to
install and setup?
Thanks.
Kim

I am a DBA and have not done an iAS or AS installation
before but am now required to learn it. We will be using
SSL and no load balancing hardware. We setup for other
customer sites and setting Windows servers in the past.
We have not done load balancing before.
I am just confused with all the 10gAS options there are to
install to just run 10g Forms and Reports and setup
OracleAS 10g with the load balancing features.
So I just need to install OracleAS Forms and Reports
Server if I am just installing Forms and Reports with SSL.
But if for Load Balancing Oracle 10g I need to cluster
just Reports 10g? I thought I would need OracleAS10g
installed on my two Windows servers and somehow cluster
or let the two know they are the same web page handling
the incoming requests? I do know about Apache redirct. Is
that an Apache feature and is it covered in an Oracle
documentation? They did not cover it in class either.
