Blank browser when run oracle form developer 10g

Hi, all
I'm newbie on oracle developer.
I'm using oracle form developer 10g, database also 10g and default browser firefox.
I made a form n give EMPLOYEE_MDL for the name.
I got problem when i try to run form, first time shown "*ORACLE FORMS.*" on browser and then the browser getting blank(just white space), the url is:
http://red-erie:8889/forms/frmservlet
Hope you can help me.
Regards n Thanks

It worked for me in Windows 7 Home premium, both in 32 and 64 bit operating systems...
What I did was,
After successful instalaltion of developer suite, I've installed latest JRE from www.java.com and configured formsweb.cfg and default.env file.
I've used IE8 only. I haven't tested on any other browsers.
Do modify these lines to configure formsweb.cfg to change to JRE from Jinitiator (As said by CraigB )

Unable to run forms in oracle forms developer 10g

I am using oracle forms developer 10g on oracle application Release 12.
When i run form i am getting error that weblistener is not running on default port 8888. Then i changed it to 8000. But still i am not able to run the forms.

Nivas,
In addition to running OC4J, you must also have your browser configured to use a Java Runtime Environment. The easiest - and preferred - method is to install the Oracle JInitiator as there is not configuration needed other than the installation. You can also use Sun's JRE, but you would have to research how to configure your PC correctly. The other option is to change your FormsWeb.cfg file to use the Browser Native JRE. Edit the formsweb.cfg file and find the IE= directive. The Default is IE=jinitiator. Change this to IE=Native, save your changes and you are done. This is not the preferred solution, but it does work.

Why Other Browser cannot run oracle forms without IE.

Why Other Browser cannot run oracle forms without IE.
i want to use other browser for oracle form like firefox,google chrome etc not IE.

Why Other Browser cannot run oracle forms without IE.Let aside we don't know what forms version you are using, your statement is simply wrong. I am running Forms 10gR2 with Firefox for quite some time (from 2 to 12 and now with 10.0.7 ESR). So I know for a fact that you can run Forms with other Browsers then IE. Also why would Oracle certify other Browsers (which they did) if it wouldn't work in the first place?
So to answer your "question": forms most certainly won't work on FF on your side because you didn't configure your formsweb.cfg properly. For newer Versions of Fírefox you'd have to use the Sun JPI instead of JInit:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/documentation/forms-jre-131772.pdf
Also if you'd have used the forum search it would have come up with some informations on what to do; e.g.
Running Oracle Forms applications using Firefox 3.6
So to sum it up you should reprhase your original question to:
How do I use the forum search/google to search for informations already provided a hundred times?cheers

Loading http://abc:8889/forms/java/printtext.jar from JAR cache
This tells me you are using a 3rd party or locally developed Java Bean to perform some type of print function. Is this correct?
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.io.IOException: open HTTP connection failed.Does your printtext.jar Java Bean need to open an HTTP connection in order to print?
Have you been able to print in the past using this Java Bean? Where did you get the Java Bean?
RegisterWebUtil - Loading WebUtil Version 10.1.2.0Your form appears to be using WebUtil. Has it been successfully configured?
Honestly, you need to list the following minimum information when you post a question; it gives us all or most of the information we need to help you and it eliminates the need for us to ask for this information. Please always include:
* Forms Version (eg; 10.1.2.0.0 not 10g)
* Java Version
* Client OS version
* What you were doing when the error occured.

Running oracle form builder 10g in windows 7 64 bit

i am working in windows 7 64 bit
oracle db 11g enterprise edition 11.2.0.10 64 bit
form builder 10.12.0.2 32 bit
my default browser is Google Chrome
i have java 6 standard edition 1.6.0_34
when i am trying to run any form this message appear " java (TM) is required to display some elements in this page"
what can i do to run those forms?

You can also refer to this OTN reference:
Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2) Certification Matrix
Other comments:
1. I would not recommend using Forms 10.1.2.0 with Oracle DB 11.2.x. Patching Oracle Forms to 10.1.2.3 would be recommended. Using version Forms 11 would be better.
2. Attempting to use the Developer Tools on Windows 7 is not a great idea although it can be made to work. Developer Suite 10 is no longer supported and was never really intended for use on Win7. Again, patching to 10.1.2.3 is recommended and required if you plan to follow the Oracle instructions and certifications.
3. Installing the Forms Builder (Developer Suite) on Win7-64bit is not at all certified and was never supported.
4. Using Java 7 was not certified and therefore not supported for use with Forms 10.x
In general, Forms 10.1.2.x has been desupported. Customer using this version or older should be working on a migration plan for getting to the latest supported version which is 11.1.2.1.

Incorrect font displayed when running oracle form 4.5

Hi,
I created a couples of form using Oracle Form 4.0 . Now I
install developer/2000 v1.3.2 to use Oracle Form 4.5.
However, when I run my forms by using Oracle Form 4.5, all the
text fonts are not displayed correctly ( I use font of Helvetica,
with font size 14). If anyone know the reason, please tell me how
to fix this problem. I appreciate it. Thanks

David,
if you really want to deploy the Forms as a Web (and so launch from a browser) you need to set up the Forms Server
and deploy your Forms to the Forms server. This will make the forms availabe by access from the URL
e/g/ http://machinename/virtual_directory/forms_file.html
the forms_file.html then points to the fmx you want to run.
However, if you want to set this up you really need to look at the documentation (see the online manual) or look at the white
papers on OTN.
I could be that you coul still launch the client server version from a URL but I am not sure this would really work (
what about lunching a .bat file from the URL and this bat file will countain the command line for running a form - that
way you can test it from outside the portal to get it working first).

Blank webpage when run project form Flex Development

When I Run my project in Flex Development to see how my changes look, I get a BLANK webpage.
I have dumped the browser's cache and deleted the SWF in the bin_debug folder.
Still get a blank page. Only way to see changes is to compile.
What gives?

I used to do
1. Ctrl + Shft + delete in Mozilla
2. Close project --> Clean project.
3. Ensure there are no more errors in project.

Getting ORA-06508 when running 6i form in 10g

hi,
I am upgrading my forms from 6i to 10g. I have created the following directory structure on my system.
c:\old_system\<module_name>\<forms60> --- All FMBs and FMXs
c:\old_system\<module_name>\<lib> --- All libraries
c:\old_system\<module_name>\<reports60> ---All Reports
c:\10g_upgrade\<module_name>\<forms60> --- All FMBs and FMXs
c:\10g_upgrade\<module_name>\<lib> --- All libraries
c:\10g_upgrade\<module_name>\<reports60> ---All Reports
i have edited the registery entry for
for forms6i
Forms60_PATH --- c:\old_system\<module_name>\<lib>
for forms10g
Forms_PATH -- c:\10g_upgrade\<module_name>\<lib>
I have two template forms:
1. TMXSTAND.FMB
2. PPSSTAND.FMB inherits TMXSTAND.FMB
when i run the FPPS003.FMB then it gives this error.
ON-ERROR raised an unhandled exception ORA-06508.
Please suggest where is the problem.
Thanks.
null

I have given the proper path of the library folder in Forms_Path. Still I am getting this error...
Is this error because of having both the versions of forms (6i and 10g)?

Connecting Oracle Forms Developer to E-Business Suite

Hi,
I have downloaded the Oracle DevSuite (10g) and BITools, I have managed to connect Oracle Discoverer to the db without any issues however, I am trying to connect Oracle Forms Developer 10g to our E-Business Suite 11i db and I keep getting the ORA- 01017 invalid username/password logon denied error message.
Should I be able to connect Oracle Forms Developer to the Oracle Business Suite databse without any issues or am I missing something,
any help would be greatly appreciated,
thanks
Chris

Hi Chris
First, You should know that the developer certified version for Oracle Apps development is 6i patch 18 (there's a new patch 19 also). On Discoverer, it's Ok to use 10G.
Now, on the connection issue, by the message it is related to the user/pass entered. If in Discoverer You are using oracle apps integration You may be using and application user and password, but that can be used to connect to the database.
Ask in Your project for apps password (may be apps or welcome12 if and on demand environment) for the development environment, or check if there's is a custom schema defined for development and get the user/pass for that one also. You may try with applsyspub/pub meanwhile to check connection but it's a restricted user.

Starting Learning Oracle Form Developer

Hi Experts,
i m oracle dba. i wan to start learning Oracle Form Developer 10g . please any one can share documentation that can help me out to start this domain.
regards,

Is there a particular reason you are starting with an old version and not the latest (11.1.2.0)? Version 10.1.2 will begin its end of life cycle at the end of this year. Meaning, Error Correction Support will end. Learning with the newest version will give you the advantage of working with the latest features and a more stable version.
At any rate.... how easy it will be to learn will all depend on your current skill set and your prior experience with other development tools. I would suggest you first get a basic understand of how Forms works before you start to build an application. Building an application in Forms is mostly easy because the more common features are wizard driven. However, understand what to do once you create an app might take a little more thought and an understanding of basic web principles.
The version 10 documentation (mostly related to deployment) can be found here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/documentation/techlisting10gr2-093389.html
Here you will find many white papers which include everything from complex concepts to basic product overviews.
You can access similar content for all of the recent versions from the top page located here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/overview/index.html
The Forms Builder help is a good place for design time information.
