Deploying Forms and Reports on Linux

We are using Forms and Reports 6i in Client/Server mode in
Windows with all of our clients for years now with
complete success.
Most of these clients are small to medium size organizations
and don't have the resources or need to upgrate to 9iAS with all
the costs and complexities involved.
Now there is a demand to run these applications in Linux at
the client side, i.e. they want to put Linux machines at
the users desktops.
We noticed that there is a Linux version of Forms and Reports
in OTN and would like to try it, but we are concerned about
if the product is really suported by Oracle : There seems to
be no documentation, white papers or patches available.
Can please someone comment on this? Can we develop our forms and
reports in Windows and deploy then with the Linux runtime ?
Deployment with 9iAS is not an option.
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestion

Hi Goncalo,

How to deploy Forms and Reports from 6i to Web Base

I am using Forms 6i in client/server mode, I want to upgrade my platform to Forms 10g web base. I know that I have to install Application Server, however, I found that there are so many options in the download page, and, I can only find the WebLogic Server.
I only need to deploy Forms and Reports, what is the minimum requirements (I means what Oracle software) I have to purchase.
Can you provide also the download link? any document can teach me how to deploy Forms and Reports? (only Forms and Reports)
Thanks a lot !!!

From download page http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101202.html you can choose Forms & Reports Services Standalone .

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.

Hi,
Well you just need to create a directory in paste your forms there, and then make an entry in the formsweb.cfg file and forms.conf files. Likewise there are entries for the images and report.

How to compile forms and reports in linux command line ?

Hi,
I'm working on a migration from forms 6i to 11g R2. The development/migration is being made on a Windows 7 64 bits, however, those forms and reports will run on a Linux RHEL 5. Thus, I have to compile them inside that linux box.
How can I do it? Is there a tool to compile the forms and reports in command line withn a linux box?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the answer, Carlos.
I run the command but this error message is displayed "FRM-91500: Unable to start/complete the build".

Deploying Forms and Reports 6i runtime with my application

I'm trying (for a year or two) to find out Oracle's recommended and proven method of packaging Forms and Reports 6i runtime components with my application. I've tried the 6.0 File Packager, the Project Builder Delivery Wizard, and the Oracle Software Packager. I'm still working with OSP but their doesn't seem any mention of runtime inclusion the User Guide or Tool. This is a basic need for anyone doing mass deployment on client/server environments. I know someone at Oracle knows the answer. Please help me! I'm desperate! Also, please realize that a custom install of runtimes from the Developer disks is not an option in our scenario.

I had the same problem.
I resolve with a new third party tool:
RunDev
I've found it on:
solutionmarketplace.oracle.com
searching "rundev".

Hi,
You can find many articles on oracle site for this subject.
However in brief following are the steps
1) Create a directory source,executables,images,reports and logfiles.
2) Copy all your forms, menus and pll's in source directory
3) All your images in your image directory
4) All your reports in reports directory
5) All yuor fmx,mmx and plx in executables directory
6) Any log files in logfiles directory
7) Add path of images and executables directory in FORMS_PATH in default.env
8) Configure your formsweb.cfg as your need.
9) Configure report.conf and rwservlet.properties according to your applications.
10) Make jar of icons say myicons.jar.
11) copy myicons.jar in forms/java directory
12) Check yuor form services if they are running or not.
13) Invoke the URL in internet explorer
http://<ip_address>:<port_no>/forms/frmservlet?form=testform.fmx
I think that's enough from my side.. For more info you can go through the documentation.

Deploying forms and reports on Application Server 10

I'm a beginer
I have build some forms,reports by using Oracle Developer Suite (Form developer and Report developer) with Oracle database9i , I had run it in that tools, Now I want to deploy them on Application Server. How can I get it ? any body tell me step by step (because I'm a beginer) to configure ? I had installed Oracle Application Server (without install infrastructure) , can I deploy on it ? My computer support to install Application Server with Infrastructure (because Memory only 512M) . please give advice and tell me what I do ???

There is a jinit feature in my 10g Enterprise edition that installed with my database. However, I haven't been able to map to it successfully from the jinitiator that down loaded when I first ran the form. I tried deleting it and when I tried to run the form again I got the install window. The only way it would run was to install. The initial installation maps correctly, opens the web page and displays the form, and I am able to make query. I can not however run any other forms without the fatal Internet Explorer error.
I also tried to map the correct port thru the forms preference feature under edit on the forms screen, that didn't work. I am perplexed howerever that the recommendation for the DevSuite download at Oracle said that jre/sdk 1.5 is required but jinit 1.3.1 is what they programmed to download. a couple of Oracle OTN papers I have reviewed have indicated a number of bugs for oc4j and jinit. There are fixes indicated for some of them but no definitive mention of where to find the files. Some of the files mentioned are not in DevSuite but are found in 10G databse, Enterprise.
I am a database tech major and need DevSuite10 for my class, especially forms and reports. This is also my first time at this forum. I have sent error reports to Microsoft concerning IE6 errors without reply. So, I am assuming that this is an Oracle error not Windows XP Professional. I have had 10g Enterprise Manager installed since November of last year and have not had mapping problems with it when using OEM browser services. I don't know why jinit can map and run on install and totally not on every attempt to re-run. HELP!!!

I'm beginer, please tell me step by step. thanks

Hi,
You can install the Oracle Application Forms and Reports standalone version of the application server. This does not require an infrastructure.
As far as deployment of Forms and Reports, you can either place your compiled (.fmx and .rep) files in the default \forms90 directory or you can place them in another directory and specify the location in the formsweb.cfg file.
For more information on the Oracle Forms and Reports standalone, see the installation guide at http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19375_06/doc/frs/install/B16392_03/toc.htm.
For information in deploying Oracle Forms, see the Oracle® Application Server Forms Services Deployment Guide at http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19375_06/doc/frs/forms/B14032_03/toc.htm
Reports deployment info is contained in the Oracle® Application Server Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web at http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19375_06/doc/frs/reports/B14048_02/toc.htm

Can't install Forms and Reports under linux 8.7.1

I try to install Forms and Reports i get this message
UT60 is not available or _TK60 is not available
Please help me

I solved my problem... more by a system of trial-n-error than anything else. Here's how you go about it:
1. BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA. I would suggest using time machine thrice on three different locations. Better safe than sorry, and when it comes to backing up data, Overkill is Underrated.
2. Boot into Disk Utility mode.
3. Locate, select erase the primary HDD/SSD. WARNING: YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING ON YOUR COMPUTER THAT HAS NO BEEN BACKED UP.
4. Install OS X online.
5. Select your preferred backup location and tranfer all your data to the freshly installed system. This should restore your computer to an "as was" state.
6. Once the computer is done restoring our data, restart the system.
7. While restarting press the following key combination:
cmd+option+P+R (You have press the combo before the grey screen appears during the boot and let go as soon as you hear the boot up chime.
This will reset your computer's PRAM.
8. Boot into your system and re-install xquartz (latest version) from the source site.
I am not saying this process is fool proof. It worked for me, and it usually tends to work when you are facing problems due to a missing system file.
