Cannot run Forms

Hi
I just installed Oracle 9i Developer Suite and 9i database rel 2...I am able to connect to the database from form builder and develop forms and compile them...However, I am not able to run the form module...I get the following error "The http listener is not running..Please start the listener or check your runtime preferences." How do i solve this?
Thanks

Hi,
Webforms always run through the forms server on your OC4J web container. So you have to start it before you can run your forms, even if you run them via Forms Builder.
How to start working with webforms is all documented, but I'll very briefly summarize it here, so you can embark your webforms adventure.
First you have to configure the forms server. 2 files are involved (both located in $devsuite_home\forms90\server):
1. default.env, the 'registry' for the forms server. Add your FORMS90_PATH in here, so the server can find your modules.
2. formsweb.cfg, the configuration for the forms server. In here you can enter your starting form module, connection to the database, etc, etc.
- Assuming you're on Windows, start your OC4J from the Start menu -> Programs -> Oracle Developer Suite - 9i/10g -> Forms Developer -> Start OC4J instance.
- A DOS-box will appear (don't close it!) stating that the OC4J is running.
- Check that's the forms server is working by browsing to http://localhost:8889/forms90/f90servet. A welcome screen appears if all is well. If nothing happens your port is different. Verify this in file $devsuite_home\j2ee\DevSuite\config\default-web-site.xml
- In Forms Builder, save your modules to a location that's on the FORMS90_PATH.
- Run the module. If nothing happens go to Preferences in the forms menu and on the runtime tab, enter the URL of the forms server.
Success.

Cannot Run Forms on Windows 7

I followed all the instructions indicated on Note 1292919.1. The form will run and ask to download the latest Java Plug in. So I know it is not pointing to Jinitiator. The Java Plug in was installed as indicated in note 1292919.1 before running the form. It appears that it is not finding the JRE when running the form.
Oracle suggestion per the below document is to
The example above assumes that a virtual directory called JRE has been setup in the webserver's config files (one way of doing that is to add this line to the httpd.cfg file: AliasMatch ^/forms/jinitiator/(..*) "D:\Oracle\product\FRHome_1/jre/$1")
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/documentation/forms-jre-131772.pdf
Problem is their is NO httpd.cfg file and I have downloaded the webserver. I wonder do they read the shit they recommend.

I wonder do they read the shit they recommend.As you didn't indicate anything regarding version or installation type I guess you have a Developer Suite 10gR2 installed, and you are right that there is no httpd.conf in your installation as iDS doesn't come with a Apache (but the Application Server does).
The aliasmatch would be there to be able to download and install the JRE the first time you are accessing the forms application and have no java installed. On your development machine you could omit this by installing the JRE Version you want yourself, and configure the formsweb.cfg like mentioned in the document. On the Application Server however the httpd.conf is available, and you could declare an aliasmatch like mentioned in the document. If you insist on doing that in your developer suite too, then there is a possibility to do that in OC4J. Edit the file
$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee\DevSuite\application-deployments\forms\formsweb\orion-web.xmland add e.g.
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/your_alias/" real-path="absolute_path" />Then restart OC4J. As said this is only for comfort and not necessary to actually run forms with the sun jpi, so I wouldn't pay much attention to it in development.

Forms 10gR2: Cannot run forms

Hello,
Just installed 10gR2. I'm getting an error running a form inside the Builder, with the error HTTP500 "The page cannot be displayed"
Forms Builder supplied this url:
http://127.0.0.1:1371/vzplYafmZrLyCrLDYIa7bVXDXCMjZxwoOlJb7Y0xKBuAQKay
That url is suspicicious. So I tried to manually run the servelet by copying the the application server url from the Forms' \preferences runtime tab
http://zaz:8889/forms/frmservlet
This gave the error:
Bad Gateway
The following error occurred:
[code=DNS_HOST_NOT_FOUND] The host name was not found during the DNS lookup. Contact your system administrator if the problem is not found by retrying the URL.
What could be causing this error?
Thanks,

From your browser menu, select Tools > Internet Options.
Click the Connections tab.
Click LAN Settings...
Under Proxy Server, check "Use a proxy server for your LAN"
Click Advanced...

Cannot run Forms-Application

Hi,
i built a new form with forms 10g. Only 1 block and 1 table. Then I startet OC4J and tried to run this form from the forms builder. It does not work. So I mad a .fmx file and tried to start this file from Internetexplorer 8 and Firefox. Internet Expliter only showed me a few htlm lines nothing else. Firefox run on an error.
I think it coud be missing some parts of forms or missing rigths on the Browser.
Who can help me?
Thank you and regards

Cannot run form

Hi everybody
I have windows XP installed on my pc. I have installed oracle 11g database and oracle developer suite 10g. I also have installed latest version of JRE. I started services oracleTNSlistener & oracleserviceORCL. I also started the OC4J instance. Compilation of form is successful but when I try to run it, it gives the following error:
Network Error (tcp_error)
A communication error occurred: "Connection refused"
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.
For assistance, contact your network support team.
Please guide me to solve this problem

If it indicates "Connecting" and you see the spinning IE logo, this means it is attempting to download, extract and install the configured JRE (or Jinitiator). You can do this manually to bypass this automated process. The easiest way to do this correctly the first time is to attempt running a form again. Once you see the blank white session and you think nothing else is happening, right mouse click on the page and select View Source. Within the source you will see which version of the JRE or Jinitiator has been configured. Determine the exact version and manually install it. Once installed, your form will run. Look closely at the CLSID as it will indicate the version you need to be using (this can be changed in formsweb.cfg).
If, for example you wanted to use the Sun JRE, version 1.6.0_23, you would see parameter value something like this in the html source:
clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0023-ABCDEFFEDCBA
Notice that the version (1.6.0_23) makes up the above enter. If you make changes to formsweb.cfg, be sure you change all related entries. Do not simply change the CLSID. There are other obvious entries related to the JRE (or Jinitiator) which would need to be changed.

9iDS Forms - Cannot Run Forms In Forms Builder

Attempting to run and test a form using 9iDS Forms Builder, only get a blank screen. Any suggestions ???

Kevin,
please check if the Jinitiator version that you have installed on your machine matches with the classid setting in the formsweb.cfg file (forms90/server/formsweb.cfg). Internet Explorer has zero tolerance.

Cannot run Form when connected to Lan

i have Windows Xp Pro and installed the Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
with Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production)...
the problem is that when i have the connection with lan for internet the browser show the error of
Connection Interrupted
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading
The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again
i have seeing one that related to this problem in this forum and forgot where it is...
but it seems to be solve the problem by copying the directory of a folder such as
"OC4J_DBConsole_localhost_orcl" in the directory = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\oc4j\j2ee...
i think i was wrong with the directory for the oc4j or maybe any other problem
please help...

Forms cannot run at Windows Server 2003

Windows Server 2003
Forms 10.1.02
Database 10g 10.2.0.1 Production
every time i run the forms application but the firefox show it is crash...
also my Windows Server 2003 cannot run any java application...
need some advice from experts here
THANKS
dausnasir

The kinda answer I like: download, copy, mesh, hack. Looks very nice, must work in most cases, but not this time for me. Behavior was exactly the same, running the nightly build.
Just for the records:
Safari prefs in my Windows live happy in:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari
These days I installed an Safari in a brand new 2003 and worked nice. Bug 4 x 1 Safari. Bug still winning.
So, it must be some stuff, some little tricky service or software I install in my usual Windows.
Anyway, thank you very much...
If someone have some clue, I'll apreciate

Firefox 12 cannot runs my oracle forms..

sir
firefox 12 cannot runs my oracle forms..
i am using oracle 10g and jre 6 instead of jiniator 1.13
how can run oracle forms 10g with with firefox or google chroome plz solve this with detail...

You are asking this question quite often...Why not just follow up one of your threads as they obviously are about running forms with firefox?
Anyway; to sum it all up, in order to get firefox running you need to configure the sun java plugin which you already did: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/documentation/forms-jre-131772.pdf
Then you need to set the jpi_mimetype in your formsweb.cfg accordingly to the version of the jpi you installed. If you want to start forms with any java plugin just change it to
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-appletcheers

Why Forms 11g 32bit forms cannot run on 64bit without recompiling?

Hi gang
Hopefully one of the Forms gurus on this forum can give me a quick and succinct answer to the following question.
We're just setup a Windows XP 32bit install of Forms 11g on our developer machines, and a WLS install of Forms 11g and relating services on Windows 2008 64bit.
Question is, why do Forms compiled on the 32bit architecture not work on the 64bit architecture? Why do they need to be recompiled? I'm aware of the difference between 32bit/64bit OS environments, but what's that got to do with the FMX, PLX (etc) files? What are those files doing internally that's specific to the 32bit/64bit platform?
None the wiser. Your thoughts appreciated.
CM.

Hi Chris,
Nice to see you on FORMS forums
i queried myoraclesupport and got few answers hopefully you find them helpful
Applies to:
Oracle Forms - Version: 11.1 to 11.1 - Release: 11.1 to 11.1
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Forms 11g
Symptoms
--A form is compiled against a 32-bit platform, Ex(Linux 32-bit)
-- Move the .fmx to a 64-bit Platform, Ex (Linux 64-bit) and try to run it and you will receive the following error message:
"FRM-40010 : Cannot read form xxxxx"
Solution
+ Re-compile the form against the same platform where it will be launched .
For example, if the production machine is 64-bit, all forms must be compiled against the production Server (64-bit).
Disclaimer :-
===========
+ Moving an FMX from one machine to another is NOT supported. This is especially true when using Unix based platforms
See Note 299938.1 Moving Forms Applications From One Platform To Another
B - Is 64 bit Developer 11g version required for developing 11g forms and reports running on a 64 bit Deployment environment in WebLogic ?
There is no need for this. The fmb files are the same on all platforms.
Only the fmx files have to be compiled/generated for each platform.
For reports it even easier: you do not need to generate/compile the rdf, jsp files etc before running them.
C- Does it matter if the development platform for Forms and Reports developer is Windows or Linux if one is going to migrate the Forms or Reports to a 64 bit Linux platform and recompile?
No this does not matter, you are able to migrate from Windows to Unix - you must use the frmcmp_batch utility to generate the executables files.
Builders (Forms/Reports) will not be supported on 64bit operating systems.
Therefore, one can develop on the available 32bit Builders and then recompile/deploy to the 64 bit environment.

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.

Hussain Afridi wrote:
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

Unable to Run Form more than once!

Hi,
1. I create an oracle 10g Form
2. I am trying to "Run Form" from within the Forms Builder. It runs OK.
3. I close the IE, and try to "Run Form" again. It fails!
My problem is that my form runs only the first time!!!
However, If i try to run it manually by opening the IE and type: http://EH011W04G.greece.clb:8889/forms90/f90servlet?form=c:\myform.fmx&userid=lala/xaxa@orcl, it runs ok!
I discovered that the problem is this:
The first time i "Run Form" through Forms Builder, a file lets's say giorgos.htm is created in my Temp directory, and this file loads the form OK. The second time i "Run Form" through Forms Builder, a file giorgos.1htm is created and cannot load because it is not an html file!! If i rename it to giorgos1.htm it works ok!!!
so... anybody can help me?
thx for your time!

Hello there, One Solution that i think is due to not closing the form application properly.If you happen to close the IE directly through the close button without exiting the FORM (with the Action => exit or through Exit_form ) then your forms instance keeps on running on the server and it only closed when timed out .That's why you are not able to run it again . but when you type the url itself it get loaded because it load the already running instance of the form so i'll suggest try to close it from Action=>exit and run again.
Hope it will help you.

Running Forms

Hello all:
I am running forms 9i and am now able to get it to run in the browser. Is there a way to make the form fill the entire browser for better viewing? Any help for a newbie is greatly appreciated.
Thanks to all.

Figures! I work for two days to find an answer, I then ask for help here, and within five minutes find the answer. Well, an answer.
I noticed the start and stop OC4J instance in the Forms Developer program group. So I started it, reset the preference setting in Forms and ran the form. Everything seemed to be going well. The browser (IE) downloaded JInitiator, installed it and attempted to load the form. However, now it says it cannot resolve the TNS name.
Huh? All the other applications, SQL Plus, Enterprise Manager Console, the RAU, everything is able to resolve the connect string. Did I install this JInitiator in the wrong directory (I accepted the default)? How do I fix this?
