Deploying Forms 6i with Forms Server 6i

Hi there.
I am trying to deploy a application with Forms 6i using Forms Server 6i, with 8.1.7 DB.
The forms are linked to a library, and when i try to run them over the browser, i get error messages saying that the pl/sql procedures in the library are not found.
Can anyone help me, please?

Paulo,
With Forms on the web, you should set environment variables in the default.env file (or create your own .env file). Don't use the Windows Registry.
As Grant said, you need to follow the steps in the Listener Servlet deployment guide. (You didn't say which patchset you are using or which architecture you are using, so I will assume you are using the Forms Listener Servlet architecture.)
The URL that Grant gave does work. So you either need to upgrade your version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, or something is wrong with your machine.

Deploying Forms with Forms6i/Oracle Internet Application Server 8i - need help!

Hi Gurus!
I am trying to setup the Oracle Internet Application Server 8i (Release 1.0)and deploy the forms to the web. The server is on Solaris. I have installed and configured the application server. I used the 'runform.htm'and 'test.fmx' to test the installation of the application server on the Server machine. In that case it works fine and shows the message 'Application Server is up and running'. Where as if I tried to access the same 'runform.htm'and 'test.fmx' from another client machines through a web browser it is not executing the 'test.fmx' and throws the following error:
" FRM-92060:Failed to connect to the Server. Bad machine specification:'hostname':9001"
Details...
oracle.forms.engine.RunformException:FRM-92060: Failed to connect to the Server.
I am using the default port#9001 to run the Forms server (i tried using another port and i got the same error). The web server is listnening on the port 7777.
I am not sure what needs to be fixed. Can someone please through some light on this?
Thanks!

The Oracle 8i jvm component (formerly known as JSERVER) was designed to support server side java.
This component was initially developed and included in the Oracle 8i rdbms 8.1.5.
Enhancements continued to be implemented with the 8.1.6 and 8.1.7 releases
IAS uses the same oracle 8i JVM from the rdbms to support java code on the middle tier.
Here's how the IAS version and the RDBMS version match up on the Oracle 8i jvm's features.
RDBMS 8.1.6 with IAS 1.0.0 (unix) / 1.0.1(NT)
RDBMS 8.1.7 with IAS 1.0.2 (new name IAS 9i)
8.1.6 / IAS 1.0.0 / IAS 1.0.1 supports :
session EJB's(1.0 spec), corba objects and java stored procedures
8.1.7 / IAS 1.0.2 (aka IAS 9i) supports :
The 8.1.7 implementation will support the 8.1.6 features listed above plus the ejb 1.1 spec (entity ejb's -- see below), servlets and java server pages.
note : in another thread Mr. Devin clarified the current status of the EJB 1.1 spec (entity beans)in the 8.1.7 solaris release and the future win nt release.
If I remember correctly, Mr. Devin reported a last minute issue has delayed the support for the entity bean feature but ejb spec 1.0 / 1.1 session beans are in place.
When the entity bean issue is resolved, a software patch needed to support the entity bean feature will be provided in a rdbms patch.

How to deploy forms 6i with forms server 6i

I am trying to deploy some 6i forms with 6i forms server.I have to use this old technology and only this technology as its for a college project.
I have this information about forms server but i cant work it out:
6.2.2 Deploying the Executable Files on Your Web Server
You can deploy your Forms applications in any directory on your Web server. You must include the appropriate directory path and filename in the base HTML file. This is the file that users access to run the application. If you created a virtual directory (e.g., /dev60html) to specify the location of your base HTML file, you should deploy your base HTML file in this location.
So does that mean i can save the forms into this directory C:\orant\FORMS60\server?
C:\orant\FORMS60\server\base.htm is this the base file?
How do i specify in this base file what directory the forms are in?
In the base file already i have:%HTMLbeforeForm% %HTMLafterForm%
Do i just type in the directory after?
Confused.Please help.
Thanks

Deploying forms to the Application Server

We are about to use SCM to store our forms and reports.
We also run application server AS10g.
My question is:
Is it possible to deploy forms through scm to the application server with out using the file system?

i've done this with :
f90genm.sh module=myform.fmb userid=username/passwd@tns_connect_string;
if you know some unix commands you can make a script to compile all fmb's modified in the last DAY/HOUR/MINUTE!!!! i can say that im not a bash expert :)))
you may take attention that working with Forms IDE under windows will make that specific language CHARS like portuguese G or C or I, or spanish Q, and russian chars for instance... will be showed has ? after compiled in Linux/Unix plataform! For instance BRAGANGA would be wrote as BRAGAN?A!

How to start developing forms with weblogic server???

I am a beginner. I saw someone working on developer 6i and I love the ease so I come to oracle. BUT now I find this weblogic server for desktop applications (forms) too.
1. Please recommend me a book for developing desktop applications in weblogic server.
2. Is it possible to use Mysql as database while developing forms in weblogic server?
Many thanks

I am a beginner. I saw someone working on developer 6i and I love the ease so I come to oracle. BUT now I find this weblogic server for desktop applications (forms) too.You have to keep in mind that Oracle Developer Suite 6i (Forms/Reports) is over 10 years old and was primarily a Client/Server development environment. Yes, a Forms 6i application could be deployed to the web, but infrastruction has changed many times in the 10+ years since Forms 6i was introduced.
1. Please recommend me a book for developing desktop applications in weblogic server.Are you talking about an Oracle Forms application deployed through the WebLogic application server? If so, take a look at Developing Oracle Forms Applications or Oracle9i Developer: Developing Web Applications with Forms Builder. These are older books, but they will give you the basics of Oracle Forms development. Once you have the basics of Forms Development, then you can refer to the product documentation for specifics on the particular version of Forms you are using:
Oracle Forms 10g Online Book - Contents or <a href="http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/index.htm>Oracle Fusion Middleware Documenation LIbrary</a> and select the Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer option.
{quote2. Is it possible to use Mysql as database while developing forms in weblogic server?{quote
You can use MySQL with your web app only if you are not using Oracle Forms! Oracle Forms will only communicate with an Oracle Database. There are methods available to access data from non-Oracle database, but they involved linking your Oracle Database to the non-Oracle database and accessing the data through the Oracle Database.
Hope this helps,

Deploy Forms and Reports with Load Balancing

I am trying to determine what we need to install here. I have read OracleAS, Web Cache, Application Server, and
Forms documents and have no answer still.
We are currently run 9iAS with Forms and Reports 6i only.
I did not do any of those installs. We are migrating to
Forms and Reports 10g. I need to setup an OracleAS 10g
Forms and Reports application server with the ability to
do Load Balancing over 2 windows Web servers to handle
4,000+ users. The application database will be on its own
Windows server.
Do I need to install the Infastructure, BI, and Web cache?
Or just Oracle 10g Application Server option? Or other?
Do I need to install it on both web servers and do
something like clustering? Do I need to install Web
cache? I just took the 10g AS class and basically did not learn anything about deploying Forms and Reports.
Can anyone give me a place to find the things I need to
install and setup?
Thanks.
Kim

I am a DBA and have not done an iAS or AS installation
before but am now required to learn it. We will be using
SSL and no load balancing hardware. We setup for other
customer sites and setting Windows servers in the past.
We have not done load balancing before.
I am just confused with all the 10gAS options there are to
install to just run 10g Forms and Reports and setup
OracleAS 10g with the load balancing features.
So I just need to install OracleAS Forms and Reports
Server if I am just installing Forms and Reports with SSL.
But if for Load Balancing Oracle 10g I need to cluster
just Reports 10g? I thought I would need OracleAS10g
installed on my two Windows servers and somehow cluster
or let the two know they are the same web page handling
the incoming requests? I do know about Apache redirct. Is
that an Apache feature and is it covered in an Oracle
documentation? They did not cover it in class either.

How deploy BPM process with ADF form?

Hi everybody,
I'm a newbie on BPM (11g) and ADF. I've created a BPM process and an ADF train into the same project.
I was wonder if I can deploy the ADF stuff and start to test only the train before hook up the ADF form with the UserActivity.
How I can do that? How can deploy it? Better create a jar or ear?
Any suggestions?
Best Regards.
Fairlie

Hi Daniel,
yes I have two separate projects - BPM and ADF - in the same applications.
For now, I'd like to work only on ADF project implementing the front end that I will use in next future into my BPM project.
Every time I click on Run on the main page in ADF project, JDev tries to deploy the entire application.
I need to work only on ADF for now and testing it. The soa server is on remote server.
I've tried to deploy the ADF project on remote server and I get this error:
'Weblogic Server Exception: weblogic.application.ModuleException: Failed to load webapp
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.adf.model.servlet.ADFBindingFilter'.
I've checked the oracle.adf.model library class path and It's ok...so I do not understand why I get this error.
What do you think is better to do? Trying to deploy the ADF with war, jar or ear...or...?
Thanks a lot for any suggestions.
Fairlie

Oracle Forms Server - Internet Deployment

Hi All,
We have deployment our Applications on the Web using Oracle Web Deployment. We are using Oracle Developer Server 6i for this. We use MS IIS as the Web server. We have a scenario where we want multiple clients to connect to our wen server and run our software application. However since Forms server uses the FORMS60_PATH to look at the path for Forms & Reports executables we cannot run multiple versions of the same software on a single physical web server machine. Say I have App1 Ver 5.4.01 and App2 Ver 5.4.02 used by client1 and client2 respectively. I can't do that on the same machine because both the versions have same form names and so although they are in different directories, Forms server picks up the one 1st in the FORMS60_PATH.
null

Sure you can -
1) Login as user with path pointing to the version 4.1 of your app.
2) Start the forms server to use PORT 9000.
3) Login as user with path pointing to the version 4.2 of your app.
4) Start the forms server using port 9001.
Now have two HTML files on you web server - one that uses port 9000 and one that uses 9001, and that invoke the appropriate initial form.

How to deploy Forms/report on Application Server 10.1.3

Hi,
I have Forms and Reports created with Developer10g R2, I want to deploy these with Application Server R10.1.3 but after reading a lot of manuals like Administrator guide, Installation guide, deployment Guide I didn't find a way how and where should I place my Forms/Reports and how to call it via browser, some one plz explain me or send a link where I am going wrong.
Thanks and Regards.

Hi Kashif,
SSO (single sign on) is a feature of infrastructure. what does it mean?.
When you intended to use SSO, then you will need to you the infra in which you have what it calls Metadata & OID (oracle internet directory) some think like LDAP server.
so just when you want to connect through your FR&REP the user must be well known by SSO (created in OID). otherwise you can not login to your apps+DB.
SO about your question version 10.1.3 for forms&rep servers (BI) is not availble just version 10.1.2.0.2. you can download separately or toegether with you infra. (it depends on what you want.
You can see forms&rep server as OC4J container in which you can deploy your applications (fmx files).
Hope it is clear now for you otherwise let me know so I can provide you with some links which will help you.
Cheers,
Hamdy

Form server failing with networ error

Hi
I have a forms 10g application deployed over a HPUX server.
the problem is FRM-92102 error (a network error has occured)
whenever the server is restarted i.e. I access it for the first time I am able tologin to the forms and open few forms, after whic the server goes down with the above error.
I have to restart the forms server because it would show the same error when try to connect agin
Is there some limit on the number of sessions which can be opened after which the connectio is not allowed because all of my forms open in a new session .
on other server same application runs fine without failing.
but I am not able to figure out the configuration difference
Thanks
