Oracle 10g form not always running in windows 7

hello all of you experts , the query which I am going to post here is very annoying for me but it there might be a simple solution to my problem. I have installed oracle developer 10g on windows 7. Changed the formsweb.cfg file so that it uses java plug in rather than jinitiator I have installed the JRE version 6, now the problem is that when i try to run a form sometimes it runs properly but sometimes the browser window becomes blank and the form is not visible in it and yes the splash screen which shows the name of application server stays there on the screen. the problem is in internet explorer, mozilla and chrome as well didn't check on any other browser. Please help me out i would be grateful to you guys out there. Just to let you know that this annoying behavior is not always there, i dont know why some forms do run properly but some of them dont.

That is actually not an uncommon symptom for any Windows platform. However, I will say that if you are running on Windows 7, it should be Win7-32bit and you should have installed the 10.1.2.3 patch set. Anything else would not be considered certified by Oracle and therefore not supported. The details on how to properly install Forms/Reports 10.1.2 on Win7 are outlined in MyOracleSupport note 1292919.1
Assuming you covered all that, with Dev Suite this often happens when you have abandoned a process previously then tried to start another before the first has been terminated. In other words, next time you have this happen close ALL open browser windows then open the Windows task manager. Look for any orphaned frmweb.exe processes and kill them. Now go back and try starting a form. It should work now.
It is never a good idea to terminate a running form by closing the browser. It is important that you close the form first (e.g. using the Exit button in the form) then close the browser. Closing the browser while a form is running can cause runtime processes to become orphaned. Generally these will be cleaned up when FORMS_TIMEOUT is reached (usually 15 minutes), but the point is that you have prevented a clean shutdown from occurring. So always make a best effort attempt at closing the form properly. End-users should be encouraged to do the same when the application is put into production.

    Members,
    I have been using orcale 9i forms and currently I have uninstalled the Oracle 9i forms. I installed Oracle 10g forms and everything seems alright. When I ran my application, It did not display properly. I uninstalled the java initiator of 9i. I did run the application again, It downloaded and installed the J initiator.

    Thanksyour problem seems to be related with the browser and the JInitiator version.
    What is the exact Forms version you are working right now???
    Browser ?? JInitiator or JRE??
    It can't be Forms 10g R2 and you have forms90.You mentioned Forms 10g in your first post.
    Are you running in seperate frame?? if not try it

  • Oracle 10G forms not running.......very urgent

    Hi all,
    shayan here......
    i have just installed oracle databse 10g and oracle 10G developer........i have done it first time....the forms is not running even the test form is not running....i have start the OCJ4 but still the same result..............any sujjestion how to configure....
    plz tell me

    Shayan,
    I assume that you are trying to run the form from within Forms Developer and that you are connected to the database.
    Now you have to apply the URL that have to be used when running a form. At one of the tabs in the options screen (where you also can choose to save before generating and generate before running or to get debug messages) you can set the default URL by pressing a button.
    At this moment I don't have a 10g installation in reach so I cannot give you the exact menuoptions and mouse clicks.
    With kind regards,
    Martin Schaap

  • Oracle 11i forms crash when run on Windows 7 using IE 8 or IE 9

    I am trying to run oracle apps form on my windows 7 pc using ie 8 or ie 9. But the browser crashes whenever I try to open the form. I am using Oracle EBS version 11.5 and Jinitiator version 1.3.1.18. I tried replacing the jvm.dll file in Jinitiator with that of my JRE 1.6 update 27 but it did not work.

  • Oracle 10g Form not responding

    Dear fellows,
    i'm modifying the text and some text allignment in Oracle Form 10g...
    but after compile it does not appears it should be and still
    displaying like before the modification...
    save and compile before run..but still the same
    is there something is missed?
    thank you

    Hi,
    I meant, look at the FORMS_PATH variable in the default.env file (ORACLE_HOME/forms/server folder). There would be many folders added (something like c:\folder1;c:\folder2 etc). Open those folders (say c:\folder1, c:\folder2 etc) and see if the form you've changed exist in those folders. If yes, remove the fmx file from there and then try running.
    Also, search for your forms fmx file (say if your form name is login.fmb, search for login.fmx) in your computer and delete all the fmx files (say with the name login.fmx), then do a compile all (Ctrl+Shift+K) and then generate (Ctrl+T) in the forms builder and then run it.

  • Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported

    Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported
    We're experimenting with using webcache to load balance between multiple applications servers running OC4J forms processes.
    We currently have one machine with infrastructure and mid-tier (BI & Forms) installed, which is being used for the webcache functionality, this is load balancing between 2 other servers each of which just have the mid-tier (BI & Forms) installation
    In order to get this to work, I had to follow the instructions in the Forms deployment guide : http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/web.1012/b14032/tuning.htm#sthref707
    The main gist of this is that you need to set the following in the orion-web.xml file in order that the sessions are maintained:
    <session-tracking
    cookies="enabled">
    </session-tracking>
    This all works fine in most cases.
    The problem I am having is if I do one of the following on the client machine:
    1) From IE6 / IE7 run a copy of a forms application. Then open a new window using the "New Window" menu option, and attempt to run another forms application.
    2) In IE7 or Firefox 2.0 open a copy of the forms application, and then open a new tab and try and open another forms application.
    If I try either of these I get a FRM-92101 error, and the following is displayed in the java console:
    oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException: Connection from new browser window not supported
    From trawling various forums (including metalink and otn) it looks like a problem with the way coockies are handled.
    Unfortunately the usual workaround is to ensure that the session tracking option in the orion-web.xml file is disabled.
    The problem is that I need this enabled in order for the load balancing to work.
    Does anyone know of any other workarounds or patches that might help resolve this?
    We're using Application server 10.1.2.0.2 running on windows 2003 servers.

    You were right. Carriage returns were stopping it from working (the document is laid out over separate lines, so I assumed it would make no difference...).
    I've now managed to get it so the forms at least run, but they are all being run in the forms OC4J instance on the same machine as the OHS.
    Has anyone actually managed to get this to work, or am I doing something wrong?
    I did wonder if using an OHS instance on a machine with no forms installation would make any difference?
    I had raised a support call via metalink on this subject, but they eventually came to the conclusion that the only way to do this is with a hardware load balancer (Despite several documents suggesting that webcache is the way to go (including the forms deployment manual)).
    I'm at the point now of giving up and writing some custom scripts to do the job instead...

  • 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:==================
