Deploying pre-compiled 10g Forms to a server.

Is it acceptable to compile all forms, reports and libraries against a development environment and simply release/deploy the executable files to a separate application server and database or should the binaries always be compiled against the target database on the targe server. The assumption is that the production server and databases and development databases are identical in structure.
What are the risks, if any?
What is the official line?

If you're 100% sure that your development database's structure is exactly the same as the production then yes, you can compile on the first and deploy on the second as long as the product and OS versions are the same.
But most of the time the DBs are not the same, so it will be a better practice if you check the structure before you deploy the executables or at least if it's possible connect to the prod. db and compile you source.

Auto deploy pre-compiled JSP

Hello
In the post of gadegaard in november 2002, there was a problem to au deploy pre-compiled JSP. Is this problem has been fix in the 9.0.4 OC4J version ?
If yes, is it sufficient to create a "_pages" directory in the war (the war is contained in an ear) and auto deploy it ? Because my pre-compiled JSP are not deployed.
Tanks in advance for your answer
Emmanuelle

Emmanuelle:
There are two ways to use the precomiled JSP files.
Method one: You can just copy the generated JSP page implementation classes to the directory application-deployments/yourApp/yourWebApp/persistence/_pages. If the init-param "main_mode" of jsp servlet of your web app is reload, then these classes will be used without stopping the server. This is the fastest way in development.
Method two: You can packaged the generated JSP page implementation classes into a jar just like any other java class libraries. Then create your war with that jar inside WEB-INF/lib. Make sure the init-param "main_mode" of jsp servlet in your web.xml is justrun. Now you have a deployable war file. You can deploy the war file (within an ear file) to oc4j and access the JSP page.
Please tell me if either of thse methods works for you
Please note since oc4j 10.1.3, ojspc will package the generated classes into a jar under WEB-INF/lib if given an war or ear file.

Replacement for 10g Forms&Reports standalone server in 11g?

is there a replacement for the 10g Forms&Reports standalone server in 11g environment? Without the need to install Metadata Repository?
thx, florian.
Edited by: fschulze on Oct 16, 2009 1:12 PM

I believe you can install the equivalent in Forms 11g.
If you don't install Portal or Discoverer, then you are not required to install any Metadata repository.
So the steps would be:
1) Install Weblogic Server 11g
2) Install Forms and Report Services 11g
How will you call reports from forms though?

How to run Net Configuration Assistant on 10g Forms and Reports server

I have a Windows 2000 server with Forms and Reports Services installed from AS 10g v. 9.0.4 (just the Forms and Reports install). According to the OUI, Net Configuration Assistant 9.0.4 is also installed. However I cannot figure out how to run the Net CA. There is no shorcut that I can find. Can anyone help?

Thanks for the reply Frank. I have looked all through the Start menu but see no "Configuration and Migration". I assume it's because I only installed the Forms and Reports option, so I only have Forms Services, Reports Services, and the Universal Installer. No big deal - I've already setup tnsnames manually. I just like to use the Net Assistant when I can.

Hi All. I am trying to precompile my application ear file. It seems to compile fine. albeit with a few jsp errors, but it doesnt not deploy to OAS. I am using 10.1.3
I get
Redeploy error: Redeploy failed: null
when trying to redeploy through the command line
OR
Archive Location - Failed in uploading archive. Invalid archive file: Unsupported archive type. unknown
when trying to deploy using the web console.
I'll try a few more things and let you know.

Andrew, thanks for sharing your experience.
I am under the impression that it should be ok to compiling on XP and then deploying on Solaris if the same jdk version is used, although it does sound better to do compile and deploy on the same server.

Replace 10g form in application server

Regards.Yes I'm sure, and this is a windows problem, OS locks files loaded into the memory.
This message clearly sates that the file you are trying to overwrite has a user mapped section. the session that is using the fmx should disconnect so you can overwrite the fmx.
I've read there's a workaround on this, but I can't remember it right now. Try searching the forum about it.

Deploy pre-compiled client proxy with a web service

When a web service is deployed on an OAS server, the page at the endpoint URL includes a link to a proxy jar file (<endpoint url>?proxy_jar). I have a proxy jar that I've built and I'd like to be able to include it in my war file so that the proxy jar URL will download it instead of the server-generated one. Is there a way to do that?
I did something similar with the wsdl file: I included it in the war file in the same folder and filename as the web service interface class, but that didn't work for the proxy jar file.
-Peter

Hi Peter,
You cannot replace the proxy jar generated by the Oracle Web Services runtime with your own version. If you want to provide your own version, you will have to handle it as a classic resource in your .ear file, and advertize the location of this resource using some other mechanism.

ORA-04045 error on a 10g form

I have a form 10g that runs fine on one server, then when I move the FMX over to another 100% identical server, I get the ORA04045 error as soon as i run the form. I've recompiled the form and still get the error.
The problem is that teh message on the form is truncated and I can not see which object is causing the issue.
Anyone have any ideas?

then when I move the FMX over to another 100% identical serverThis is a common miss-conception - you should ALWAYS compile your form on the server it will run from.
I've recompiled the form and still get the error.My first suspicion is that the servers are not 100% identical. Rather than a SQL Trace, I suggest you use the Forms Runtime Diagnostics (FRD) to trace just the Forms Session. You might need to modify the default.env and formsweg.cfg to enable FRD. Double check with your App Server admin to see if the "FORMS_TRACE_DIR=" variable is set in the DEFAULT.ENV. As long as this is set, you can enable FRD through the Forms app URL. Start your application and then add "record=collect log=<your_file_name_here.txt" to the URL to start the FRD trace. You could also have your admin modify the formsweb.cfg to create a config just for FRD. For example, I modified my local formsweb.cfg and added the following section so I can run FRD on specific forms from my workstation.
[my_frd]
otherparams=record=collect log=my_frd.txt
This setting is dependent on the FORMS_TRACE_DIR= variable in the default.env.
With this added to the formsweb.cfg, you can enable FRD by adding "config=my_frd" to the url instead of explictly passing record= and log= to the URL.
The log file produced by the FRD is quite large but, if you end your application after you receive the error, you could go to the end of the log file and work your way back until you find the error.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

Oracle Forms 11gR2 - Cannot deploy locally from within Forms

I cannot deploy locally from within forms. The server is up and running and I can deploy the form by putting the correct URL in the address line of the browser window. When I try to deploy from within forms it comes up with some crazy URL that differs everytime.
This is what the URL should be and this works from the browser:
http://machinename:7002/forms/frmservlet?form=WRD608ADMIN_11g.fmx&userid=&otherparams=useSDI=yes
Here is one of the URLs it came up with when I try to run it from within Forms:
http://localhost:60231/lysVL2VjqT33znjfvLwanktVRxTIc6dEwVeRNXXRmhYU2qjf
Localhost is always there, but the rest varies.
In Forms, I have the Preferences, Runtime set to:
http://machinename:7002/forms/frmservlet
Where machine name is my PC, it is the same for this address as the URL above that works directly from the browser.
So what am I missing?
Thank you in advance.

Generally speaking, it is discouraged to manually edit any of the configuration files if they are managed by WLS Console or EM. In this case, default.env is managed by EM. Therefore, changes to the file should be done through EM. If however, you want to alter the file manually, the following is likely the best way to accomplish this:
1. Stop the WLS Admin Server and Node Manager
2. Locate the proper file you wish to edit. By proper I mean, there are several copies of most config files. Most of the config files found in the Oracle Home are actually template files and are not used at runtime. Altering these will not give you the change you want. The default.env you want would be here (assuming Windows)
C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\ClassicDomain\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.2\config
If you are using a "Development" installation type, the above path will reflect AdminServer instead of WLS_FORMS. Remember that Development installations are not for multi-user purposes. Production deployments require the "Deployment" installation type, which can also include the Builders.
Do NOT make any changes yet.
3. Once you find the correct file, create a backup copy. Then open the file for edit (not the backup).
4. Make the desired changes and save.
5. Restart Node Manager and Admin Server if you plan to use them.
For more information about using EM to manage your configuration, refer to the product documentation:

Installing Oracle 10g Forms and Reports in Cluster Mode

Dear All,
My OS version is RHEL 4
In our current setup we have oracle 10g database two node cluster and Application Server 10g to node cluster.
Currently our report server has been configured to run in standalone mode
I have been asked to configure oracle 10g forms and report server in cluster mode.
Please provide me with the documentation link to configure oracle 10g reports server in cluster mode.
Thanks and Regards

my main goal is load balancing only
Then what I've done in 2007 might be what you need. In that thread there is a link to Web Cache Administrator's Guide : there you'll find everything you need to configure the web cache as a load balancer, particularly chapter 8 Setup and Configuration.
Anyway, here briefly some configurations : we have two machines, say MachineA and MachineB. The DNS resolves MachineA to a virtual address, which is normally assigned to MachineA; if MachineA crashes, it gets assigned to MachineB.
Users URL looks like this : http://MachineA:<port>/forms/frmservlet?config=<some config>
MachineA's web cache distributes connection requests between MachineA and MachineB.
Of course we're now using 11g as well, but that's another thing.

Error in applying gif icon on a button in 10g forms

Dear users...I wanna apply a gif image on a push button named "Pb_Ext" in my form but I'm being failed in this simple task :( For this purpose I've taken the following steps.
1: I made Iconic property to "Yes" and in icon filename property I gave the gif file name, in my case that is "bdone", which I got from 10g forms directory. (Is it necessary to write file extension with file name? Although I've tried both ways.)
2: I set up icons path value in registry.dat file as: default.icons.iconpath=H:\10g_Tst\03\03
default.icons.iconextension=gif
3: In formsweb.cfg file registry.dat file is defined as:
serverApp=default
So is there anything else remaining to be set up? Can u guess that where is the fault?

One of this may help

How to compile a form built in forms 10g on windows platform?

Hi All,
I have built a 10g form on my local desktop on windows 7 and compiled/deployed it in apps on linux server.
I need to deploy the same form fmb on oracle apps hosted on windows platform. Please let me know if fmb works fine or not. And also provide how to compile form in windows platform..like frmcmp_batch command
Thanks,
Veena

The fmb, mmb, and pll files are portable to any platform where Forms can be installed. Every installation that supports running Forms comes with the necessary components to generate the executible files (fmx, mmx, plx). On your Windows machine, if you have the Builder installed, you can generate an FMX using the Builder. If not, you can directly use the compiler. The compiler has a gui option and a command line option. If you do not pass any arguments into the executible (frmcmp.exe) the GUI will start. Alternatively you can generate from the command line (DOS). You may need to set PATH, ORACLE_HOME, TNS_ADMIN, and possibily some others in the DOS shell in order for it to work.
If you have access to MyOracleSupport, refer to the following note:
<blockquote>Moving Forms Applications From One Platform Or Machine To Another (Doc ID 299938.1)</blockquote>
Example:
<blockquote>frmcmp.exe module=myForm module_type=form userid=scott/tiger@orcl compile_all=yes</blockquote>
More options are discussed in the Builder Online help and the compiler help.
