How to deply icons on forms services 10g (10.1.2)

Hi.
I've been trying to do a couple of "simple" things on forms services and have not yet succeded:
- Deploy Icons on the web.
- Specify an alternate path for fmx,pll and mmx files.
The installation is Application Server Forms and Reports Sevices.
According to Forms Services Deployment Guide (section 4.9.2.1), to enable custom icons in an archive file (jar) the steps are the following:
- Create an archive (jar) file of all icons files.
- Place the archive in forms/java directory.
- Modify the archive_jini to add the reference to the newly jar file. I've done these in both default section and custom section of formsweb.cfg.
- Modify imageBase to codebase in formsweb.cfg.
I can even "see" the archive file from the browser:
http://churum:7777/forms/java/art_icons.jar
Also, for finding forms files I modify the default.env file and added the desired directory:
forms_path = /home/oracle/OraHome_2/forms;/home/appls
HELP please. These two thing are supposed to be easy aren't they?.
Thanks in advance ...!

Perhaps the browser cache was refreshed or dumped. You can see this behavior (Forms not picking up changes made in the config files) by experimenting with the background color (set in formsweb.cfg). Make a change, load a page, new is there sometimes, sometimes not. When not, doing a refresh on the page (force a new/clean read) results in the new color being applied.

Can I call a report in Reports 6i from Forms Services 10g?

Hi there,
I was wondering if I could call a report in Reports 6i from my application in Forms Services 10g. If so, how could I do it?
Thanks!

In Forms 6i you probably did use RUN_PRODUCT to call reports. In 9i onwards you should use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT instead.
See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10g/frm10gsrw10g.pdf
Note that you should be able to run RDF files without any conversion.

Developer 10g and Forms Services 10g

Hi,
I have a Developer 10g installed on a Windows XP and a Forms Services 10g installed on a Linux operating system.
When I generate a .fmx in my Developer and try to run it on Forms Services, no Built-in works... not even CALL_FORM or EXIT_FORM!
Is there any compatibility issue with these platforms??
Thank you all in advance,
Carla Almeida

It seems correct. Check that orcl is a correct identifier, that is it's present in tnsnames.ora on the Linux Server.
I assume that ORACLE_HOME and PATH are correctly set. If you go to /aplicacoes/sgi/forms_fmx directory you can simply do :
f90genm.sh MODULE2.fmb user/password@orcl

(RHEL3) iAS form service 10g with jpi 1.4x error

hello~
my form service os is RHEL3 , and i install
oracle form and report service 10g on it !
when i use jinit 1.3.1.13 and ienative VM to test form
, everything is fine , but use jpi 1.4x to test
form will raise the java exception like below :
FRM-92050
<java.io.IOException: Negative content-length from HTTP.>
at oracle.forms.net.HTTPNStream.doGet(Unknow Source)...
========================================================
but when i install the IDS 10G in another RHEL3 server
and start the OC4J instance , i test form with
config= jinit or ienative or jpi , everything is fine,
is it a BUG in IAS904 form for linux platform???
I'm sure all config had setup ok..

We had the same error (FRM-92050) (we have a Unix server) and we changed the FORMS60_TIMEOUT=10 (from 5) and upped the users and confirmed processes from the default of 100 to 200 (in the default.env and init<dbname>.ora). Now we are able to connect remotely.
(We had not priviously done all the post install steps. These are included in those steps.)
good luck,
LW

Browser closes on invoking the Forms Services 10g.

Hi All ,
When I invoke the forms services using the following url in the browser , the browser window closes :-
http://<IP-address>/forms/frmservlet
Could anyone let me know what could be the reason for this and how to resolve it.
Thanks,

Apologies if I'm stating the obvious, but it couldn't be something as simple as
http://<IP-address>/forms/frmservlet, where i don't see port's number?
That is:
http://<IP-address>: <port_number>/forms/frmservlet

2 Forms Services on Oracle 10g AS Release 2

Hi Friends,
I am using Oracle 10g AS (10.1.2.0.2).I have 2 applications to be hosted
I mapped application 1 for the Default report server(inproces report server)
I created one more report server and mapped fror the applicatin 2.
I am able to control both the reports independently
No issues on report server
Same way i would like to have 2 forms services (without using seperate tags in formsweb.cfg) because
I need 2 different icons path for 2 applications
I should be able to bounce the forms services independently application wise (like reports)
Is it possible ? Please recommend the Method/Document.
Regards

There are metalink notes and papers where you can set it up if you want it, I believe this comes with limited support from Oracle though. I personally prefer to have separate config sections, having a second OC4J instance is more administration and resources usage.

Configure Forms Service on 10G and test a form

Hello,
I have installed a standalone 10G APP SERVER.
How can I configure a Form Service on this?
How can I test a Form running on the 10G APP Server.?
Any pointers as to how to configure a Forms Service thru
the Application Service control menu (http://localhost:1810)
and then trying a form ?

Mona,
You were suppose to check the document Oracle Application Server Forms Services - Deployment Guide as suggested in Deploying an Oracle Form on 10G AS.
Please do! All your answers are in that document.

Detailed info on tuning params for Forms Services for 6i/9iAS

Hi Folks,
I have searched the Oracle site and documentations high and low
for detailed information on tuning of params for Forms Services
on AIX under 9iAS 1.0.2.0. There seems to be non except for
pool=..., record=performance, etc and I have notbeen able to
obtain info on how to tune these params.
I have a goal as follows:
a. To have 4000 Web Forms users connected to the Database thru
the 9iAS/Fomrs Services (this is apart from response time)
b. I have a 4way SP node with 8GB RAM
Initial tests of 100 simultaneous users have indicated that CPU
consumption is between 70% & 90% and the memory consumption is
800MB. Pool was changed from 1 to 10 and 12. There is no change
in CPU usage but memory usage increase to 950MB with increase in
PAGE Faults. Performance collector shows garbage (-ve time count
and -ve %age for certain activities).
Any direction/tips on bettering the thru-put or achieving the
goal is very helpful and greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Giri

There are loads of paper on OTN that talk about tuning the Forms
middle tier. Check out:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/techlisting.html#internet
"How To Tune Your Oracle9iAS Forms Services Applications" as a
start.
The important thing to note is that unlike the database, you
tune the application and not the Forms Services themselves.
Also, it does not really matter what platform you are in terms
of the techniques you use to tune the application.
This should help you and if you have any more specific problems
then please post again.

Load-testing Forms Services

Any suggestions on how to load test a Forms Services (9.0.4) system to see how well an application scales? I was wondering if there is an approach I can use to load-testing the applets that doesn't require purchasing a full-blown Loadrunner license...

Hi Steven,
You should try NeoLoad to load-test Oracle Forms apps.
NeoLoad is a load-testing software for Web apps provided by the Neotys company.
NeoLoad decodes the Forms communication between the client and the server. It shows instead a nice XML page where all parameters can be read and modified.
Afterwards, while the load-test is being played, the information is sent back to the server in the Oracle Forms format.
As for the load itself, no worries, NeoLoad handles thousands of simultaneous virtual users.
You can give try, a free trial version is avalaible on the Neotys website: http://www.neotys.com/product/download-neoload.html.
You'll find useful information on the website to start the evaluation.
Here is the page related to the Oracle Forms technology: http://www.neotys.com/product/technologies-oracle-forms-load-testing.html.
And here is a flash demo that shows in detail how NeoLoad works against an Oracle Forms app.
Take also some time to read this testimonial from "American TV": http://www.neotys.com/references/success/load-testing-americantv.html. It tells how NeoLoad helped them to carry out a great load testing campaign.
Really hope it helps you testing your Oracle Forms app.

Iconic file in oracle 10g forms

hii,,
i am a new user in oracle 10g form,,,here i am running a form & placing all the icons in a folder,after that i changed the iconic file path in the default.env file,the path is same where the icons are kept,,but still i am unable to see the icons at the run time,,,,,
do i need to modify some other file or the icons will be kept at some particaular place????
plzzzz help.....

hi
1 How to Display Iconic Images Using Forms 9.0.x/ 10.x?
When running an Oracle Forms 9i/10g application the icon files used must be in a web enabled
format such as JPG or GIF (GIF is the default format) (This is unlike older versions of forms running in client-server mode when the file format is .ico.)
Icon image files can either be retrieved by Forms as individual files on the filesystem or from a Java Archive (JAR file).
If an application uses lots of icon images it is recommended that they are stored in a JAR file to reduce the number of HTTP round trips.
Reference:Note 232413.1 How to Deploy Iconic Images via a JAR File in Forms 9i/10g?
The example below details steps to configure iconic images as individual gif or jpeg files.
It is a first approach recommended for initial testing and understanding.
Example:
========
This document has been written for use with both Windows and UNIX operating systems: Windows will use the "\" character to delimit directories and UNIX uses the "/" character. Any other differences are noted in the document.
1) Determine the physical location of the icons on your web server. For this example, assume that the icons are stored in D:\Myfiles\icons.
2) Create the virtual directory in the forms90.conf file that point to the location of your Forms 9i/10g icons. This file is located in:
$ORACLE_HOME\forms90\server\forms90.conf
To define a virtual directory forms90/icons, use the following syntax:
# Virtual path for ICONS (used to show icons in a form ) AliasMatch ^/forms90/icons/(..*) "D:\Myfiles/icons/$1"
Below is an example of the forms90.conf after it has been modified to include the /forms90/icons virtual directory.
# Virtual path mapping for Forms Java jar and class files (codebase) AliasMatch ^/forms90/java/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/forms90/java/$1" # Virtual path for JInitiator downloadable executable and download page AliasMatch ^/forms90/jinitiator/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/jinit/$1" # Virtual path for runform.htm (used to run a form for testing purposes) AliasMatch ^/forms90/html/(..*) "E:\IASR2\APP/tools/web90/html/$1"
# Virtual path for ICONS (used to show icons in a form ) AliasMatch ^/forms90/icons/(..*) "D:\Myfiles/icons/$1"
( For 10g use instead of "forms90" -> "forms")
3) Direct forms to use the /forms90/icons or /forms/icons virtual directory when running on the web by modifying the Registry.dat file in the $ORACLE_HOME\forms90\java\oracle\forms\registry or $ORACLE_HOME\forms\java\oracle\forms\registry
directory. Note that for UNIX, both the path name and file name are case sensitive. You must specify "Registry.dat".
Modify the default.icons.iconpath entry as follows: default.icons.iconpath=http:///forms90/icons/ or default.icons.iconpath=http:///forms/icons/
If the URL used to bring up forms on the web is: http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/f90servlet or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/frmservlet
Then the entry required for the Registry.dat will be: default.icons.iconpath=http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/icons or default.icons.iconpath=http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/icons default.icons.iconextension=gif
4) Now use EM Website to: a) Restart the OC4J-BI-Forms Instance b) Restart the BI-FORMS HTTP Server Instance.
5) Verify that the virtual directory has been defined properly and that the icons can be viewed in a browser.
Assuming that exeqry.gif exists in the D:\Myfiles\icons directory, the following URL should show the icon:
http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/icons/exeqry.gif or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/icons/exeqry.gif
6) Check the form : http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/f90servlet?form=D:\Testcases\F90\ICON_CHECK_IASR2.fmx or http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms/frmservlet?form=D:\Testcases\F10g\ICON_CHECK_IASR2.fmx
CHECKLISTS
=============
Icons do not appear in the browser using the URL:
o Verify that you are using the correct machine name and port for the OC4J_BI_Forms object.
o Check the virtual directory name to make sure that there are no typographical errors. o Check for typographical errors in the forms90.conf or forms.
conf for the virtual directory. o Check the name of the icon on the file system. If the file is saved as Exeqry.gif, then it will not be found using the URL http://abc.oracle.com:7778/forms90/ Close all your browser sessions and open a new browser window.
Execute the URL to bring up from the Form Builder runtime or from the browser.
( For 10G use "forms" instead of "forms90")USEFUL REFERENCES:==================

Date format Problem in forms&reports Services 10g

Hi Dears,
I Faced a problem during running reports ( i am using forms& Reports Services 10g), when i pass the parameters via parameter form to the report (built in forms10g Rel 2.0) its appearing in arabic like (25-يناير-2010) as my Date Formate is (DD-YYYY-MON) and NLS_LANG parameter is defined as Arabic_Saudi arabia.AR8MSWIN1256 so as a result report is not running due to unknown Date formate, how can i change the Same Date format (DD-YYYY-MON) to appear in english like (25-2010-JAN)
Thanks

You could specify the parameter as type VARCHAR2, explicitly cast it (maybe to DD.MM.YYYY) when you pass it from forms and cast it back in your query, like TO_DATE(:P_PARAM, 'DD.MM.YYYY')

Multiple Forms services in Oracle 10g AS(10.1.2.0.2)

H Friends,
I am using Oracle 10g AS(10.1.2.0.2) for a project A.
Now i would like to use the same application Server for another Project B.
Is it possible to have 2 forms services in the same Oracle 10g AS (like creating our own reports server in the same Instance).
I know we can create our own OC4J Instances but need to know whethere that will create a new forms service which i can use it for Project B without disturbin the default forms service(used in Project A)
Regards,
Arun

Hi sahil,
Thanks for the info.This is really useful(Metalink Doc) and i am able to configure 2 forms servers successfully
but i still have one issue.The issue is
I am unable to have 2 icons path (for the 2 applications)the icons path is taking from the dafault path of /forms/icons(in forms.conf file) for both the application even though i make entry for second application as /formstest/icons in forms.conf file(formstest is my new forms server for second application).
Is there any way to solve this issue?Please suggest.

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?

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.
