Alternative to Oracle 9i AS as Application Server

Hi,
Would like to check what are the other options besides using Oracle 9iAS as application server when I plan to migrate the application from client/server to web.
Would appreciate if someone can share his/her opinion on this. It is quite urgent as I need to make decision fast.
Thanks in advance.

iAS Enterprise Edition is the only supported Application server for Forms on the Web

  • Oracle BIEE installation issue: Application Server default OC4J name error

    Hi all,
    I am installing OBIEE 10.1.3.3.2 windows 32bit version on windows 2003 sp2. Before the installation I have installed the JDK 5 and Application Server 10.1.3.1.0(J2EE Server and Web Server) on the same server according to the pre-install section in the OBIEE installation guide.
    When I install OBIEE (advanced installation), I got the error when I specify the Oracle Application server location:
    Please specify a valid Oracle Application Server 10g installation location. A valid Oracle Application Server 10g installation must have the default OC4J instance named home and that home OC4J instance must be enabled.
    When I install the Application Server 10.1.3.1.0, I have change the default OC4J name to "oc4j-soa", I think this is the root reason I got the error. I have tried to create another OC4J instance named "home", but failed coz the name is used for another directory.
    Then can I have another way to continue the installation? Why OBIEE installer have this strange constrain while not any words about this issue in the installation guide (coz I follow the each steps in the guild before I take action)? I have search some threads and the only information is to install a simple installation, but it would create another application server..... and the simple installation type is not what I want.
    Can anybody give me some hint or information about this issue? otherwise I have to purge and reinstall the server...... Thanks
    Scott

    Reinstalling the App Server and naming oc4j instance to be called "home" resolves the issue but this is an odd requirement. I have an OC4J instance already running and it is named something else. Is there any other alternative to make this work?
    Swapan.
    PS. I can always create a new oc4j instance named "home" but this is wasting of server resources.

  • Pls help!Can Oracle v7 support WebSphere Application Server instead of Oracle 8i

    Hi,
    I am using WebSphere as my application server and NT4.0 as OS.
    I wish to connect to Oracle db which is located at another server.
    Currently what I have is Oracle Client Software v7.3.4. There is error when I want to start the service.
    So I suspect that it is not compatible and it might require Oracle 8i in web environmt and to support WebSphere Application Server as well.
    Can anybody help me? Thank you.

    Hello,
    I guess you could get that to work as somebody was able to use WebLogic as webserver: http://christopherbeck.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/weblogic-server-and-apex/
    Alternatively you could use the Embedded PLSQL Gateway if you don't want to install Apache (depending database version you are on).

  • Creating a connection pool using Oracle 10g, Sun ONE Application Serve 8.1

    Has any one succesfully configured Oracle 10g to work with Sun ONE Application Server 8.1 on Windows 2000 server service pack 4? I am embarking on a new J2EE project and I need to configure it as soon as possible.

    I haven't done it myself on that particular service pack, but I don't see why it should be any different than configuring a connection pool on other vanilla win2k/other OSes.
    Would you please try and let this forum know?
    thanks.

  • Performance questions in Oracle Forms/Reports of Application Server 10g

    Hello.
    I have a dual Xeon 2.6 computer with 3 GB of memory and 6 GB of cache, running RedHat EL 3 with Oracle AS 10g (9.0.4.0.0).
    Application Server is used to run some applications created with forms, and it generates several reports, but the forms are also used as a front end to another Oracle Database (Oracle 7.0, runing in Sun Solaris 5.6).
    I've notested (and also my users) the application is getting very slow (is running in a dual Xeon, with 2 Gbit nics, in a 3 Gb backbone).
    The speed (or lack of it) is most noted when the forms are generating the reports (it used to be fast - 2 seconds) and now it can take up to 5 minutes.
    The AS 10g, when generating the reports, almost all of the querys go to the other server (in Solaris) and the results return to the server, and then the report is generated. The network has no problems (at least, that i know of), and the network performance is not an issue - both the servers are connected to a Gbit switch.
    Can someone may have an ideia of it can be?
    even in the clients, when running the forms application, the transition of the several menus is slow, and it used to be more fast.
    the 10g is using Java Jinitiator 1.3.18. Can it be from that ? i'm not certain, but i could say this things start happen when we upgraded the jinitiator from 1.3.13 to 1.3.18...
    My users are really getting on my nervers and i cant do nothing, because they have reason...
    any help would be appreciated !
    Cheers
    Bruno Santos

    Bruno, did you solve the performance problem? I'm experiencing the same lack of speed.

  • Installing an Oracle Database client on Application Server

    Hi all
    I have posted before but thought I'd clean up my original question and repost - apologies but I'm desperate for help here.
    I have a problem using Oracle Wallet with Application Server and Developer Suite 10g Rel 2 Software Update 10.1.2.3.0 on Windows 2003. The problem arises because the database which ships with this version of Application Server is 10.1.0.5. This database version is not compatible with Oracle Wallet external passwords eg sqlplus /@MY_WALLET_NAME.
    So...to get around this I'm looking at putting the 10.2 database client on which will allow me to use sqlplus with the wallet.
    My questions is:
    Does anyone have any advice for retaining existing Application Server functionality (we use Discoverer, Forms and Reports (RWCLIENT)) with a new Oracle 10.2 home on the server?
    I will put on the client so would expect if I copy across the tnsnames & sqlnet ora, the connectivity is all backward compatible. SQL*Plus is obviously backward compatible. I'm not familiar with Application Server so am looking for guidance on any configurations I might need to change to make sure they pick up the right Oracle Home. For example, with the new Oracle Home at the start of the %PATH%, will RWCLIENT work as normal?
    Thanks,
    Tom

  • Oracle Reports with Other Application Server

    Can Oracle Reports be run within other Application Server such as WebSphere?
    For example, I've created Oracle Reports and save it as RDF file. Is there a way to have my application which run inside WebSphere to initiate Oracle Reports to compile RDF file into HTML or PDF without having to make a command line call?
    Thank you in Advance

    Hi Fred Narthasilpa,
    I have searched thru some of the Oracle Manuals for the same and found that they will provide support to Websphere soon, to publish Oracle Reports.
    However, not sure whether the same is made avl. as of today.

  • Compatibility between Oracle Developer suit and application server

    Hello
    We are going to user oracle 10 to develop and deploy our application.
    The tool that we were going to use are
    Developer Suite 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) and
    Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.2.0)
    But i need to know whether this are compatible
    Where can I find any documentation related to compatibilities between developer suit and application server ?
    May thanks in advance

    Hi Ana,
    Compatible version of IAS is
    10g Release 2 (10.1.2) or 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) with patch 1(10.1.2.1.0)
    Also if u are using only forms and reports services there is a forms and reports standalone version is available. And hence u dont need to install infrastructre.
    And this is a very compact product.
    Even if you use forms 9i /developer suite 9i to develop the forms, when u compile them on IAS, it gets upgraded. There is not much diff between forms 9i and 10g

  • Oracle 11G database and Application Server installed on same server

    What are the pros and cons installing Oracle 11G database and Oracle Application Server (Forms and Reports) on the same server?
    Thank you in advance, Sonya

    Some may want their data in a separate network zone for security reasons.
    It also depends if it is the same people that do maintenance on db and appserver.
    It is lower cost with one server, and only 1 Os to set up.

  • Migration Issue:Urgent: Oracle 9i to 10g Application Server

    Hi,
    Using Oracle Jdev (ver 9.0.3.1) I have created a ear and want to deploy it in oracle application server 10g
    (release 2). Will there be any issue during deployment or during run?

    Generally speaking going up from 9i (902) to 10g (904) is very simple - going up to 10.1.2 of Forms would require a recompilation.
    There are not really any "big" issues in moving to these versions.

  • Unable to access the Oracle Enterprise Manager for Application Server 10g

    Hi,
    can an one help me in accessing the Application server enterprise manager console?
    I started the enterprise manager using the command "emctl start iasconsole" from bin. it started the OEM 10g AS control. when I am trying to access the site it throws an error saying "The page cannot be displayed". can any one tell me how to trouble shoot the scenario.
    The installation was on Unix.
    Regards,
    Jay.

    I would try,
    1. If your installation is on RedHat or linux varient make sure that the Apache from the linux is not running, (httpd is stopped)
    2. check the hosts file verify that it contains the ip and (appserver name) not just the loopback.
    3. make sure you are using the :1810 port
    also, check the logs using a tail to see if your having errors in the network card binding.

  • Use other application server to run Oracle generated web services

    Hi all,
    I am currently running an Oracle 9i database and application server (OC4J) and use WebservicesAssembler (JPublisher) to expose PL/SQL packages as web services to an external PDA application.
    Is it possible to run the EAR files (the assembled web service) generated in this way on another type of application server? This question because I need to use Resin in a live environment.
    If this is not possible, would there be a way to work around it? I mean by manually programming the web service against the PL/SQL package. And if so, has anybody tried that out before?
    Are there other alternatives?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Regards,
    Stijn Lambert

    Hello,
    Which version of OracleAS/Web Service stack are you using?
    If you are using a version prior to 10.1.3 the Web Service stack is proprietary and not portable.
    JAX-RPC used in 10.1.3 is more portable but you have to be very careful about the way you create your deployment descriptor.
    In a general manner you can always create pure JDBC/JPublisher clients and expose them using the Web Service that you want.

  • How to use LDAP with Oracle forms 10g on Oracle application server

    Hi,
    I need some help on this. I have developed oracle forms 10g on application server 9iAS. The client want to use the existing LDAP authentication to the software we wrote. I do not know how I could configure to use the existing LDAP authentication . If anyone know how would I use the existing LDAP on different server to use when they logon to our menu in 10g to validate the user. Do I need to add any varibales in formweb.cfg or any other method. Please help.
    Thanks
    Luksh

    I am not quite sure if this works out of the box. According to an Oracle FAQ:
    4.2 Can I use LDAP to authenticate Forms Services?
    Not directly. However, Oracle Login Server is able to authenticate against a LDAP directory and thus a Forms application can take advantage of this in a SSO environment. But you cannot use access control information stored in a LDAP directory with Forms.
