CSS keepalives for Oracle forms server

I'm trying to set up load balancing for oracle forms server and having issues with finding working keepalive method.
If I use uri keepalive, Oracle forms server crashes within a couple of minuites. TCP doesn't work either
service Ora-forms:9000
ip address 192.168.0.34
port 9000
keepalive type http
keepalive uri "/alive.gif"
keepalive frequency 30
It works for Oracle web server tho.
What keepalive do you guy use for Forms server?

Here is what a script looks like using the "graceful" close approach..Graceful is at the bottom.
Regards
Pete..
!no echo
! Filename: ap-kal-fin
! Parameters: ip address
! Description:
! This script will open and close a socket on port 80.
! The close will be a FIN rather than a RST
! Failure Upon:

  • Oracle Forms Server 6i Patch set 11

    Hi,
    Can any body send me patch set 11 for oracle forms server 6i? I need it to test deploment in XP.
    Take care,
    Tarek

    Unfortunately, patch 11 will not certify XP. Patch 12 might, but it is not promised. There are some issues with XP which are out of the control of the Forms group. It has to do with the 8.0.6 RSFs so we are all waiting for those issues to be resolved.

  • Request for Oracle forms & Reports 12c: Free runtime in GlassFish like ADF

    a) FREE RUNTIME LICENSE IN GLASSFINS FOR ORACLE FORMS & REPORTS IN GLASSFISH
    Hello, we are Oracle Partners and we are using oracle since Oracle 7.3.4.
    I remember a beta of Oracle Forms, having the functionality to set properties in all objects, just like Visual Basic, including lines, etc. But that beta was rejected and I see Oracle had leave Oracle Forms as just a database client.
    In this moment there is a free light version of ADF.
    I will like you think in that possibility.
    Think in this, if you want to program a small software, I mean 20,000 U$, and the runtime is 40,000 U$, then this doesn't makes sense.
    Oracle is pushing small customers toward Visual Studio,
    I think the idea of a free runtime will benefit Oracle in two ways.
    For a 20,000 U$ software or less, you but Visual Studio, Sql Server 2012 is enough, not as Oracle, but is enough for that small softwares,
    this means if you give a free runtime of oracle forms & reports (like adf is doing)
    1) you will win selling development licenses and 2) selling Oracle Standard One licenses.
    If you don't do you will lose developement licenses and Oracle will continue losing the small databases market, because this is not like 10 years ago, Sql Server and other databases had improved, and the hardware too .
    2) THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LINUX MORE EASY TO INSTALL & AN EASY DESKTOP FOR THAT LINUX
    The other point I want to give feedback is linux, it's too related to oracle forms & reports improvements for small business
    Is the development of an easier Linux, to use 1) for development 2) for production.
    In the same way you don't wait 60 seconds in a normal web page to load, people don't like Linux because is not like Microsoft Windwos or Macintosh; so if Oracle wants to move to people to use linux to use Oracle Forms or Oracle Database, I think Oracle must create a more simple and tested installation for both customers and developers,
    - less is more, so the installation must have only what normally is needed.
    - you should not need to use command line for most operations, this should be an exception, normal users must do things by themselves.
    Thank you for your time

    I don't know that it will break things, but I can say that the safest thing to do would be to use separate WLS installations for each product. This may sound like overkill, but each product (ADF, Forms/Reports) have their own idiosyncrasies and requirements with respect to versions and patching, and trying to mix and match them in the same WLS installation is not, in my opinion, something that's worth undertaking.
    I have the very setup I describe (separate WLS installations for ADF apps and Forms/Reports apps), and it's working with no problems.
    Regards,
    John

    Hi
    Have you checked that the rpd file still exists in the Repository folder? Did you leave it in a consistent state? assuming the paint.rpd is still there, double click it and see if you can open it, if so run a consistency check.

  • J2EE applications Vs. Oracle Forms server

    Hi guys,
    I have worked in the oracle forms server and building some J2EE applications.
    So what is making me confused is with is better to use? Oracle forms server OR J2EE applications?
    I have seen that most of the enterprise applications build on J2EE technology, building applications using Oracle Forms Developer or Oracle Designer Forms Generator is easer than using J2EE technology and as I know forms server is much faster than downloading html pages using J2EE
    The BIG question is “Why Oracle is pushing and supporting the J2EE more than the forms server”????????
    Please can any one answer this question, I want to posted to some decision makers in my company.
    Thanks a lot,
    Regards,
    Ibrahim Sawalha
    [email protected]

    Ibrahim,
    thanks for your question and lets see if I can help answer your points.
    "which is better to use" - well it depends! - If you have a team of PL/SQL developers who are comfortable in the relational world and are more focused on the business logic of the application rather than the implementation details, then Forms may be the tool which fits the developers' requirements.
    If you have a team of Java programmers and you want ability to build and tailor your application at every level - if you want flexibility on the UI (JSP/HTML, wireless, Swing etc) then J2EE and JDeveloper gives you those choices.
    "...[Forms/Designer]is easer than using J2EE" I think that this is true now but becoming less so. Because Forms is a "black box" in that it hide much of the implementation details, it is inherently easier because you are not looking at that implementation level.
    However, with Jdeveloper, you are seeing the introduction of more and more frameworks do much of the "common implementation" details for you..and so this becomes easier. Jdeveloper is also introducing a number of features which will make development more productive (e.g. WYSIWYG editors). This will bring it more in line with the Forms development experience.
    "Why Oracle is pushing and supporting the J2EE more than the forms server" - well, I guess this is a perception thing. Yes there is a huge push behind J2EE but equally there is a huge effort going into Forms as well (we have a US and EMEA wide Forms Upgrade workshop running at the moment, we have 7 Forms and Designer Papers at ODTUG this year (Jdeveloper has 8 - so its a pretty even split {and thats not including Reports}). Compare the Forms and JDeveloper forums on OTN and you will see both are very active (Forms has the most post of any forum).
    I personally believe that as J2EE is a newer technology there is more to talk about that an more estbalished tool like Forms.
    So I don't really see it as J2EE vs Forms Server. Its more a case of different technologies, different strengths and the decision on which you use will be based on questions about integration, users, application front end, development skills etc etc....and I would hope that the choice becomes clearer when you address each of these questions.
    I hope this helps and please post if you have any more questions.
    Regards
    Grant Ronald

    ps. may also be worth checking out http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/htdocs/FormsJavaSOD.html which addresses the question of those who are considering moving Forms applications to J2EE

  • How to install and where to get kernal source for Oracle VM Server

    Hi guys
    Can someone point me in the right direction for oracle VM Server kernal source, as the server I am using won't ping, and found its cause it doesnt recognise the network adapter, says there is no drivers.
    But the HP website states I have to have the kernal source install so that I can build the driver.
    Any suggestions or help on the matter?
    Thanks

    Thanks
    I got my server to ping.
    Now I have ran into more trouble.
    I have been following ORacles installation guide for installing a Virtual Machine, but am struggling to install it, as their instructions don't match whats on the screen.
    They tell you to copy each CD into a directory.....
    and then mount that directory as an NFS mount.
    I done all that
    and then it tells u to do virt-install
    So I do that, and it all works great, until the end part, its mean to ask you what is your installation souce directory , and your supposed to put nfs:selfhostname_ip_address:/path/to/files
    and away you go.
    However my server says " what would you like to use as your virtual CD image"
    and so I type nfs:server_ip_address:/path/to/files etc, and I get the error CD MUST EXIST
    so to get around this, I just typed /OVS/iso_pool/Disc1.img
    and away we go, instlalation starts....
    However THe instlalation then asks for disc 2, and then I get stuck, how do I tell it, that I changed the disc, and its ready?
    I tried an installation of mounting the disc1 iso from a cd to /mnt
    and then wen it wanted disc 2 I dont umount -l /mnt ...it said inodes busy, so I just forced the eject CD physically ont he drive
    and then mount /dev/cdrom /mnt , for disc3
    but it didn't detect I changed a cd.
    Can anyone help me, its really urgent have to get this server up and running by today if possible.

  • 10.1.0.5 Patch for Oracle Application Server 10g Release 1

    Hi Guys,
    Does anyone know what is the patch number for 10.1.0.5 Patch for Oracle Application Server 10g Release 1?
    This is a Oracle Application Server and not Oracle Database server.
    I tried searching on Metalink but not able to find it.
    Thanks in advance!
    Avinash.

    10.1.0.5 is not a version number for an OAS. It is only a version number for RDBMS.
    If you are running OAS 10.1.2.x with the Identity Managmenet/SSO (OID Server), & elected to have it install the Metadata Repository database for you, this was a RDBMS release below 10.1.0.5. The OAS patch to 10.1.2.2 or 10.1.2.3 required the RDMBS be updated to 10.1.0.5 first. This is the standard 10.1.0.5 update for your platform.
    use Advanced Search on Metalink
    To find the OAS 10.1.2.2 or 10.1.2.3 patch set, search for Oracle Fusion Middleware Server. Release 10.1.2.2 and 10.1.2.3. Look for the decriptions like "PLACEHOLDER BUG FOR AS/DS 10.1.2.3 PATCHSET RELEASE" OR "PLACEHOLDER BUG FOR AS/DS 10G R2 PATCH SET 2 10.1.2.2"
    To find the RDBMS 10.1.0.5 patch, search for RDBMS Server, Release 10.1.0.5. Look for the Description containing something like "10.1.0.5 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER"
    The patch number is different per platform, so I can't tell you the exact #s without more info (OS)

    Hi,
    We are facing Out of Memory Error in OHS 11g in our cluster environment. Where I can see below statements in http log file:

    Hi Marco,
    I believe you'll need to setup a MX record under 'More Actions' for your domain in Site Settings / Site Domains.
    Select the option "Use another external service for email" and enter your primary mail server's hostname at priority 10.
    Think you can repeat this step for your secondary mail server (priority 20) if you have one.
    Regards
    Mike
