How to deploy existing forms and reports on the web

Hi Guys,
I have 6i forms and reports within our environment, and we are running client/server architecture, by installing forms and reports runtime on each client PC's. We would like to get rid of this by deploying forms and reports on the web, without zero coding. Can any one suggest and guide me through the process with proper security mechanism enabled along with.
Thanks in advance,
Aji

Thanks for the update,
We have a develpment 10g AS environment setup made,
1) But we are really confused how to present the forms and reports.
We have around 250 forms and reports running on client/server architecture. All these forms/reports have been copied to a fileshare and access control is restricted by folder security.
2) How to deploy forms - entries within formsweb.cfg with Named Configuration sections.
3) How to deploy reports, as to were to copy the .rep files.
getting the following error
REP-110: Unable to open file 'Car_Readings.rep'.
while trying

Deploying existing application (forms and reports) over the web

Hi I do have the following environment:
1) Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 on HP-UX.
2) Application written using oracle forms6i and reports6i on NT (Client-Server environment)
I am looking to deploy this existing application over the web using 9iAS, sure I don't want to rewrite my application. I did that in the past using OAS 4.0.8 and forms server and reports server.
1)Does 9iAS support that, which one should I install the standard or the enterprise.
2)Do I still need forms server and reports server.
I stopped using the OAS because it had problems and the performance was not that good, I found CITRIX and Tarantella do better, performance wise.
3)Does 9iAS has improved that.
Any feedback regading these many questions is highly appreciated
Thanks
Khaled

Sounds like the ideal 9i As environment (although you might want to consider either upgrading or patching the database - 8.1.6.0.0 does have patches)
You'd be pleasantly surprised with the performance and stability improvements of 9iAS over OAS.
Deploying reports & forms over the web (pure web access, not terminal services like citrix) require some form of web server, reports server and forms server. I believe that 9i AS is totally compatible with the reports and forms developed in 6i tools, so there should be no rewrite at all.
If you have the time, strongly recommend you check it out.

Running oracle forms and reports on the web

can any one help me out....
I have oracle 9i database as back end and oracle forms & reports 6i which was running on client server architecture. Now i want to deploy all my forms on web so that it runs on internet explorer . For all these things to happen what all upgradation i need to do.... . Do i need to upgrade my back end database and with what i have to replace my oracle forms 6i. pls tell in detail. I am using windows XP as my operating system and my disk space is 160GB and RAM is 1GB.

The process of upgrading Forms to the web can be found here: otn.oracle.com/formsupgrade.
You will also need to confirm the version you are upgrading to supports the database version - if you have support from Oracle you can check this out on metalink.oracle.com (and navigate to certifications).
Of course, the documentation is also a good place to start - otn.oracle.com/products/forms and navigate to documentation.

Urgent : Deploring Forms and reports on the web

I need Comments and experience to forms developer server in the web

Help me , i need coments, and experience to deploying forms in the web, is good or bad, help me please.

I recently run a beta program for a new architecture for the Forms Server for a number of International customers. Each of these customers successfully deployed their Forms application on the Internet through a number of different firewalls and proxies.
We are hearing of some great successes of running Forms applications on the web and od course some of the Oracle Applicationm Suite is built on Forms as well.

Report Parametr form not appearing on the WEB

I have a report develped using developer6 which has a parameter form to accept some values from the user befor exicuting the repot. We want to web enable this report. We are using Oracle9iAS web server on Solaris. Everything compiled fine, but when running throug web the parameter form is not apperaing and user is not able to enter the values needed to be used in report query, thus the report is failing. Please help. (same is the case when I tried with Oracle8i on windowsNT as webserver and developer 6i for report server)
-Prakash V.Menon

Hi,
we have so many webreprots with Parameter form working and as such there are no issues like this also.
You have to specify the paramater PARAMFORM=HTML in the URL so that it can show the parameter form .
Please specify the URL which you are using.
Cheers :-))

Forms Refresh Problem on The Web??

i have a form coded in 6i. in this form i have around 20 buttons one below another and each of the button has a stacked view associated with it. whenever i click on a button i am opening the relative stacked view on th content canvas and repositioning the rest of the bottons and views by moving them down.
Now the problem is it works fine in client-server, but when i run it on the web, when i try to open any of the buttons the screen scrolls automatically to the top. I also noticed that if i wait for a few seconds(or sometimes minutes) the form takes me to the correct position. i think there is some refresh problem. i tried Syncronize also but to no use.
i would appreciate If someone can help me out on this ASAP. (thanks for the patience in reading this long mail!!)

Try to instal the latest version of Jinitiator. I have similar problems, but my case is not so bad. Jinitiator develops very quickly and as i have heard it works now fine.

[ANN] Run Oracle Forms and Reports on the Web for $5,000 only

A new time limited price promotion for customers looking to upgrade Oracle Forms to the Web is now offered.
Get a restricted license to use Oracle9iAS Forms Services and Oracle9iAS Reports Services only for $5,000 per CPU (or $100 per named user).
Or you can get 25% discount on the full Oracle9iAS Enterprise Edition.
Interested?
visit http://www.oracle.com/tools/deals for more details.

the first step to give only 9i form server and report server(or services, a buzz word) only is good. But the key issue to adopt the limited 9iAS is whether it must use Oracle LDAP SSO server, if so, then it will have trouble to buy it as it will force to buy full 9ias again.
E.G., the Chrysler corporate standard is to Websphere, then it prohibits our team to buy another set of similar app. server. Now we like the limited form/report server edition, but before we go ahead to apply for permission to buy, we must also answer if it will work with no Oracle LDAP SSO etc.
Will the 9.0.4 limited edition work with non-oracle LDAP/SSO ? Or generally, will 9.0.4 be open enough to work with other application server/infrastructure?

Deploy an arabic reports 6i for the web

Hi,
run an arabic reports in client/server no problem.
when i try to deploy it on the web, orientation is inversed(right be left and left be right).
what must i do.

Check your web server machine (report server machine actually). Does it have right-to-left support? is Arabic installed on it?
What is the NLS_LANG you have set on that machine? On my machine i have windows2000 server and as default language arabic.
when i run this report on c/s it comes correctly (well oriented right to left)
the NLS_LANG = AMERICAIN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256

How to get a form parameter and refresh the web web page itself?

I thought its easy as a piece of cake. But what I found out is that somehow it is getting the parameter after the web page is refreshed!
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
for navigation method
   //navigation method
    public Object refresh()
        return Navigation.HOME;
    }for web page
<h:commandLink value="Regenerate resutls" action="#{bean.refresh}">
                   <f:param name="algorithm" value="#{HomeMBean.algorithm}"/>
                </h:commandLink>

What I am trying to say here is:
for a web page, I want to refresh the web page based on a parameter chosen by users,
In web page:
<h:commandLink value="Regenerate resutls" action="#{bean.refresh}">
            <f:param name="algorithm" value="#{HomeMBean.algorithm}"/>
</h:commandLink>in managed bean:
    //navigation method
    public Object refresh()
        return Navigation.HOME;
    }also in managed bean:
String algorithm = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().
getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("algorithm");
        logger.debug("parameter="+algorithm);What I observed is I will never get the parameter "algorithm" before the web page is refreshed. In other words, the method setAlgorithm() is always called after the web page is rendered.
I in fact want to render the web page based on the parameter "algorithm".
I spent quite a lot time on it but can't figure out why.
My guess is for managed beans, I can't rely on one property to generate another property, is that right?
How should I solve this problem? Thanks a million!

I can deploy Oracle XE for production in the Web?

I can deploy Oracle XE for production on web site with support for 100 users or more?

I run Oracle 10g XE on a home computer with 2GB of memory, and when I have a web browser, email, and SQL Developer open I am using more than 1GB of memory. If you're running Microsoft Office and other software on this machine while multiple users are accessing the database, my guess is that you're running out of physical memory and the operating system is running on swap/pagefile space (using the hard disk to emulate physical memory, which is extremely slow in comparison).
You could take a look at this by opening the Windows Task Manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC), watching the graphs/numbers in the Performance tab, and seeing if the "Commit Charge" number at the bottom is exceeding the amount of physical memory you have installed (check by viewing System Properties: WINKEY+BREAK).
My suggestion is, at the least, to run the XE database on a standalone PC/server (probably one with better CPU than a Celeron, which doesn't have much CPU cache), and make sure all the switches in your workplace are running at 100Mbps or 1Gbps speed, so that users pulling large datasets will have decent response times.

Forms performance problem on the web, using webutil.

When starting the webutil-demoform on the Application Server,
webutils eight javabeans is loaded in 1 second.
I'm using &WebUtilLogging=Console&WebUtilLoggingDetail=Detailed for logging this.
When starting the same form from client the beans is loaded in ~30-40seconds.
Any suggestions to figure out why?

Problem solved!
Don't use the IP-address in the URL, use hostname or add an entry in your hostfile on the client. http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5092063

Can you put Forms 6 on the web without OAS?

Do you have to use the Oracle Application Server if you want to put Forms 6 applications on the web?
Is it possible to configure webforms system without using OAS?
We use Microsoft IIS webserver and plan to use the CGI-BIN interface to put oracle reports on the web.
Thanks.

Bob,
I have been watching this discussion group now for some time and I have noticed that you are answering a lot of questions about Oracle Developer, mostly correctly.
However, your experiences with Netscape and Jinitiator seem a little unfortunate, you (and others) may find the following information useful
The problem you have referred to where the form does not appear was a known problem both with Jinitiator 1.1.5.21.1 and the original shipment of forms 6.0.5.29.1. This problem is usually fixed (depending on what was the root of your problem) by upgrading past patch 3 of ODS6 and upto Jinitiator 1.1.7.18.
There are other reasons that the form may not appear but these are usually flagged by an FRM-99999 error. Not overly helpful I understand, but drilling in on the java console window that pops up will usually point out the area of the problem. We realise that this is not necessarily as helpful as it could be and we will be shortly posting a document (to the tune of 121 pages) where a lot of the FRM-99999 errors are explained and a method for troubleshooting is outlined.
The following configurations can be used for running ODS
Netscape 4 + Jinit
IE 4/5 + Jinit
IE5 incl Patch 1 Native
Appletviewer
In answer to the question from Richard Chadd you can happily run ODS6 without OAS, as Bob correctly points out, if you don't want to use the cartridge.
The cartridge is needed if you want to deploy your Forms Server application across multiple machines, the reason for this is that the cartridge (in v6) is the only method for accessing a variable called LEASTLOADEDHOST, this variable is used to indicate to the Metrics Server (the element inside ODS that manages the connections on each machine) the number of concurrent connections on each machine.
If you are happy running on one machine (from a user count and hardware point of view) then you will not need to do load balancing and therefore will not need to use OAS.
With the latest release of Oracle Forms Server release 6i (note the name change) you will never need OAS, even if you want to load balance. We will be supplying a CGI executable that provides the same (and more) functionality as the OAS cartridge, thus you will be able to deploy your OFS applications to multiple machines and still stick with your favourite web server.
The other features we have added in 6i are
- Smart Server Install
- SSL
- HTTP
- OEM Integration
For full details you should download the product details from Technet, but in short the smart server install should resolve a lot of the problems that we are seeing on this (and other) discussion lists. It basically asks a series of questions and (based on your answers) chooses to install and set up it's own lightweight listener (taken from WebDB) and creates the base html files, the virtual directory mappings etc etc.
The HTTP is the same as was in 6.0 but is now a supported feature as opposed to being a beta feature, you may now optionally choose to switch on SSL for that communication as well.
The OEM integration refers to Oracle Enterprise Manager, you may now install an agent on an OFS box and the agent will report to OEM that OFS is installed and will thus allow you to start and stop forms listeners, dynamically turn on logging, kill users etc etc all remotely.
Sorry if this seems like a marketing message, but I thought you might like a heads up on what is now available.
I also thought that you might like to know that we in Product Management spend a large amount of time watching discussion groups and newsgroups.
If you are looking to discuss OFS with other like minded users then there are also several other places that Product Management may be seen, these are comp.databases.oracle.tools and the ODTUG mailing list.
Obviously the newsgroups are free, but ODTUG requires you to purchase a membership.
