Can't run form

It's been a few months since I last built and ran a form.
What may have happened to cause the following error when running the form?
The error comes from the browser -
"Firefox can't find the server at www.%1.com."
It used to run fine so I'm at a complete loss here.
Thanx to one and all.

FRM-10142: The HTTP Listener is not running on at port 1 .
Please start the listener or check your runtime preferences.Follow this step.
Forms Builder , Edit , Preferences , Runtime tab ,Application Server URL
click 'Reset to Default' button.
or. insert http://127.0.0.1:<your port>/forms/frmservlet
and don't forgive 'Selecting a Web Browser to Run Forms'
Start OC4J instance
Seems a bad port set. I should be 8889

Can't run form from Form Builder 10g - Port configuration problem?

Hi,
I have installed the Database (10.2.0.1.0) and the Developer Suite (10.1.2.0.2) on two Linux machines (Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4 Basic).
If I enter the frmservlet-URL manually everything seems to be fine.
In one case I enter http://127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet, in the other http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet; in BOTH cases I get eventually a dark square and the status bar says "Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main started".
HOWEVER, if I create a simple form with Form Builder and click on the Button with the green traffic light ("Run Form"), the form runs only on the machine where frmservlet listens on port 8890.
On the other machine (frmservlet configured to listen on port 8889) Firefox pops up, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:32979/6dOrpwghCqnp8PhMT7KVT533m3IaArqFbPqPBOztZXWYSsNy" gets called, and nothing else happens. The screen displays the string "ORACLE FORMS." and the status bar says "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...", and it stays like this forever.
I assume this is a port configuration problem, but I don't have a clue where to start.
Any suggestions how I should proceed are greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Frank,
Thank you for your reply.
I doublechecked my configuration.
In the dialog Edit --> Preferences --> Runtime the Application Server URL is set to "127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet".
However, when I attempt to run the form, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:33140/W2dwbV9eXS2fPkuKlxNhCxFWdEihwDviat2uV7ycrSotqwDN" gets called.
The screen displays the string "ORACLE FORMS." and the status bar says "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...", and that's it.
I wonder how the port number 33140 got selected. Interestingly, this time it is a different number; last time it was port 32979. In fact, the port number seems to change each time; I tried again and now it is 33189.
I will now try to set the port number for the frmservlet to 8890.
I choose Edit --> Preferences --> Runtime and set the application server URL to "127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet".
I stop the container, open /home/oracle/OraHome_1/j2ee/DevSuite/config/default-web-site.xml and change the port number to 8890:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone='yes'?>
<!DOCTYPE web-site PUBLIC "Oracle Application Server 10g XML Web-site" "http://xmlns.oracle.com/ias/dtds/web-site.dtd">



<web-site port="8890" protocol="http"
display-name="Oracle Developer Suite 10g instance of Oracle Containers for J2EE Web Site">

     
     
     <default-web-app application="default" name="defaultWebApp" root="/j2ee" />

<web-app application="forms" name="formsweb" root="/forms" />


<web-app application ="reports" name="web" root="/reports" />
<web-app application = "reports" name="demo" root="/repdemo" />
     
     <access-log path="../log/default-web-access.log" />
</web-site>
I restart the container, start Form Builder, connect to the database, and open my test form.
When attempting to run the form, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:33437/Pl0n3ky9vmU5z37A7ScBnQhsGwq3jwuzJpgTAKWPMOYIzT8K" gets called (again a new port number, apparently picked radomly within a certain range) and nothing happens: "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...".
However, when I enter the URL http://127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet I do (eventually, after confirming that I trust the certificate etc.) get a darc rectangle and the status message "Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main started", which tells me that my setup can't be that far off target.
Here is the output of netstat:

Oracle9i Forms - Can't Run form

I am trying out the new Oracle9i Forms (Release 2 - part of iDS 9.2.0) on a test machine running on Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0) database. I did not install the Oracle9i Application Server since the documentation says that you can run forms for testing purposes without AS. After I compiled a form, It tried running a form but got error "FRM-10142 - HTTP listner not running on port 8888... " The HTTP server is running as part of the Oracle9i Database and listens to port 7778 for HTTP and 4443 for https. Is there a configuration file or parameter that I need to change?
Thanks,
T.J.

Jacob/Robin:
Thanks for your help....starting the OC4J containers did the trick! I was able to see the form within a web brower using the default port 8888. I am going to stick to this configuration until I upgrade my server since the new Oracle9i Application Server requires a lot of power (not to mention takes alot of resources!).
Thanks again for your help!

Which DB version can I run forms

Hi, please can you confirm if I can run Oracle Forms and Reports standalone against a DB SE or DB SE1, if so can you kindly provide me with a link yo the relevant documentation to substantiate the answer, I need it documented for a client.
Thank you, kind Regards
Thabo

We only run Oracle Standard Edition Database and can confirm that we have used the following combinations successfully:
Forms/Reports 6 (character Mode) with SE DB 10g (highest linux version available - can't check now not at work)
Forms/Reports 10g (Web with Forms/Reports AS) with SE DB 10g (again highest linux)
Forms/Reports 11g with SE DB 11gR1 (Windows version) - this is only in development not yet production.
Hope this helps. You should even be able to run it against Oracle XE - though not forms 11 as that needs a higher release version number of 10g or 11g.
hope this helps.

Can we run java bean from forms client server??

Hi,
The OLTP application we are planning to build has lot of gui e.g
tabs, drag and drop etc. Our aim is to make it web enabled but
the network bandwidth available is small 16 - 64K . So even
thoughwe plan toi use applet , we seriuosly doubt how good it
will perform on such low network bandwidth. [The system will
have 100 users]
Q1. What will be a reasonable bandwidth to run an oltp
application (say maintenance )
Hence we are thinking of developing with developer 6i and
deploying our application in client server mode, which can
easily be web enabled in future. But we also have to integrate
visual interfaces like gantt chart, which are not available with
forms. We plan to use third party java component (e.g ILOG
jviews), so that in future we can easily web enable the entire
application.
Q2. Can we run forms with java bean in client server mode? If
not, what are the products to be installed on each machine to
run it without using 9ias?
best regards

Yes. We can run sql loader from client machine.

Error when run form on Oracle Application Server

Hi al
I'm using Webutil Library to create browse button to open dialog box
When i run form in my computer,it run success and i can upload file do database and application server
But i upload form to Oracle application server and compile it no error (i compiled webutil library)
When i run form,and press button,it can't run and show error:
"Oracle.form.webutil.file.FileFunction bean not found.WEBUTIL_FILE.FILE_SELECTION_DIALOG_INT will not work"
Can you guide for me how can I run form on Oracle Application Server?
Thanks all!

Posting from another thread :-
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/76916/2/
i have resolved the problem
the solution is to :
-download jacob.jar and jacob.dll and frmwebutil.jar all directories (com and jini), you put them into the both directories ORACLE_HOME/forms/java and ORACLE_HOME/forms/webutil.
-download webutil.pll and webutil.olb package , copy all files into ORACLE_HOME/forms/java and ORACLE_HOME/forms/webutil.
-create a new user webutil on your data base and create the package webutil_db using � script create_webutil_db.sql
after that you compile again webutil.pll and you forms.
all this steps are described in this document:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/web_util.pdf

Can we run oracle Forms 5 Application with 10G in Client/Server?

Hi All,
Can we run oracle Forms 5 Application with 10G in Client/Server
Mode?
Regards
Gaurav

In theory you can run it 2 tier - which means that you have the client (the machine the user is sitting at) being the same machine in which the forms application server is running. So yes. But specifically, we don't support a client server runtime anymore. 6i was the last version.
With 10g you will be running through a browser.

11i : Can we run Apache and Forms on cluster for failover?

Hi... We are currently running 11.5.5 successfully on 4 servers:
URANUS (cluster made up of HADES and ATHENA) : database and reports
ARTEMIS : forms server
PEGASUS : http server
We are now attempting to reconfigure the application architecture to increase
failover because if ARTEMIS or PEGASUS fails, our system is unusable. At the
back end we are ok because we can bring up the database and reports server on
the secondary node in the URANUS cluster.
One of the options we are considering is to cluster the 2 machines ARTEMIS and
PEGASUS together, and run forms and http on the one primary node. If the
primary node in the cluster failed, then we would bring up the forms and http
server on the secondary node automatically when failover happens.
Has anyone done this?
Does Oracle support the clustering of these application tier services (http and
forms) on Compaq TRU 64 clusters?

hmm.. that's a very interesting question... if you find out please let me know too.
