Deployment of forms developed on windows in Linux Forms Server

Please provide me some information,
How to deploy windows developed forms 6i components on Linux Forms Server.
Thank You
Jayaprakash

Go to the form's file menu like following
File > Administration > convert
then convert ur binary file into text. take the text file to linux and do the opposite. convert from text to binary. youve got yourself a deployable .fmb file. compile and run.
By the way, I am facing problem installing dev6i on linux7.2 and linux6.2 . It searches for a lib file libXm.a and libXm.a.so . Can u tell me how can I solve it? I am trying to install Forms on Linux. Should I switch from Red Hat linux to any other linux platform?
I would be much obliged if u could help me.
Thanx.
Imtiaz.

What is different in deployment settings for 1033 in windows vs Linux

Hi,
I could not find correct source which could explain the variation in deployment settings while deploying my appliaction in windows and Linux.
here is the scenario (10133)
windows:
When I deploy my ear with class loading path ( 3rd step in deployment @Configure Application Libraries)as default one i.e i dont specifiy any , the deployment is sucessful
where as in Linux:
I have to specify the class loading path to ear exploded directory in order get the application working. If i dont specify the path, the application wont start up , complains that some of the classes are not in class path.
Please, can you expalin the cause or point me to location which explains this ?
Thanks

Please post some more information -- I can't offer much based on this. How is your application packaged -- you should not need to do what you are doing on Linux to pick up classes contained within the application itself, provided they are packaged and exposed using the standard J2EE/J2SE mechanisms.

Windows Deployment Services PXE Installation of Windows 10 Preview and Server vNext Technical Preview Failed

The automated answer file associated with Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview x64 (9481) and the Windows Server Technical Preview x64 (9841) seem to be incompatible. No problem adding both wim files to WDS, this completes without issue.
When trying to install both the Server vNext Technical Preview and Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview Via Network Installation (PXE) both encounter errors. The Server PXE Installation wont even commence after choosing the vNext Operating system installation,
and choosing the Windows 10 operating system encounters a "answer configuration error" towards the end (maybe the generalization pass?).
Anyone have a work around for configuring the answer file? or maybe a more positive experience?

We're playing around with Windows 10 TP and Server vNext also. For Windows 10 TP i got PXE based deployment running with unattend.xml from Windows 8.1. But i still did not get Server vNext deployment working.
I would also be happy if there's somebody out who has an idea on that topic.

Windows client - Linux oracle server SSO through Win2003 DC

Hi,
I'm trying to do SSO with the captioned setting, the outline can be simplified as below:
windows cleint --> Win2003 DC --> Linux Oracle server
Of course, the Linux server would issue kerberos ticket to the Windows client after which successfully authenticates with the Win2003 DC.
I have problem doing test connection for both Windows client & Linux server when connecting to the database. Both with error "ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed" when testing with Oracle Net manager. Listener & DB were both started.

Don´t execute pre_insert trigger in a form deployed with form server

I have a form developed with form6i. Executed in C/S mode, run ok; but executed in wed mode, the pre_insert trigger don´t fired. Using froms server in OAS relaease2.

Transaction behavior changed with change in Windows to Linux Environment

Hi All,
I am facing a very weird problem.
I have a 2 BPEL Synchronous Services lets say A & B. A calls B in its flow and B inserts a row into database and then retrieves the inserted row (as the primary key is sequence generated through a Trigger).
This flow was working perfectly when:
·     It was on windows Development Box with SOA SUITE and DB Server on the same machine.
·     All the DB adapters had jca:Address information in it.
Problem:
·     After moving them to a Unix box with a remote DB Server, I am seeing the problem that retrieval is happening before commit of insert and failing.
Point to remember:
·     Insertion, selection, assignment all are happening in the different ‘SCOPE’
·     I have tried even putting them in a single scope but error remained same.
·     I have even tried putting a wait between them, so it’s a plain “Transaction not commited “issue
I am expecting it could be an issue with the way Data source has been created or something else.
Please suggest your pointers on this.
Thank you.

Hi Win
1. There is absolutely NO changes or specific requirements to deploy a portal EAR created from Windows and deploying on Unix or Linux Env. We do this very often. I export my entire portal applicatoin (EAR, WAR and dataSync if its there) from Workshop or Eclipse (10.3.2) IDE as .EAR file. Then we can deploy this .EAR file pretty much in any Portal Domain on any Env like Linux. So first I want to clarify that there is NO need to change any files or do steps to deploy a portal EAR from Windows to Linux Env.
2. Now coming to your error, the root cause seems to be this: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.beehive.netui.pageflow.PageFlowContextListener
a) On Windows did you test your EAR on a Portal Domain. I assume you may have already did this.
b) Is the domain that you created on the Linux Env and its version matches exactly with what you had in Windows Env. Say in Windows if you have WLP 10.3.1, then on Linux also you should have WLP 10.3.1. If not, you need to upgrade your portal EAR first in Windows to 10.3.x and then deploy.
c) Compare the config.xml file modules specially the portal framework shared modules. They should be same in both Windows and Unix except for the location ofcourse.
d) On Windows, by any chance did you deploy any extra additional modules in the portaldomain. If so do the same on Linux Env also.
e) Other then config.xml file, all the other details are within the .EAR file itself like weblogic.xml, weblogic-application.xml file etc etc.
f) So better compare you config.xml file in both the working and not working Envs.
g) Also on Linux, are you deploying on Single Server domain or cluster domain. If cluster, make sure you deploy your portalEar only to Cluster because none of hte shared modules are deployed to Admin. So deploy only to cluster.
Thanks

The form doesnt appear.
Could you please tell me wheather i have to compile the form that i have developed in WINDOWS machine in some format of SOLARIS machine, or I have to do something else so that on the click of Menu item in Windows machine that form appears. Or Ihave to develop the form using SOLARIS machine?

BUG after deploying/running ADF on 10.1.3(Linux) gives JBO-25002 error

We have found out that there could be a bug in the Linux version of Application Server 10.1.3.0.0 or the Windows version of Jdeveloper.
We are using:
* Application Server 10.1.3.0.0 (Integrated Web Server, J2EE Server and Proces Management) on both a Windows XP machine and a Linux (Red Hat) machine.
* Jdeveloper Version 10.1.3.1.0.3984 (Build JDEVADF_10.1.3.1.0_NT_061009.1404.3984)
We are developing an ADF application using business/ADF components with several jspx pages in the latest version of JDeveloper.
* Testing it on the embedded server of JDeveloper everything works perfectly fine. We can click through all the screens without getting errors;
* After deploying the ADF application to the home instance on the Windows version of 10.1.3 Appplication server everything still works as expected.
* Finally when we deploy the same application to the home instance of the Linux version of the 10.1.3 we are getting the following error after loading the first jspx form page:
500 Internal Server Error
JBO-30003: The application pool (nl.ech.tm.model.service.ECHTMServiceLocal) failed to checkout an application module due to the following exception:oracle.jbo.JboException: JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.JboException, msg=JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.NoDefException, msg=JBO-25002: Definition nl.ech.tm.model.dataaccess.TmMarktPartijenRO of type View Definition not found at oracle.jbo.common.ampool.ApplicationPoolImpl.doCheckout(ApplicationPoolImpl.java:1954) at oracle.jbo.common.ampool.ApplicationPoolImpl.useApplicationModule(ApplicationPoolImpl.java:2756) at oracle.jbo.common.ampool.SessionCookieImpl.useApplicationModule(SessionCookieImpl.java:426) at oracle.jbo.http.HttpSessionCookieImpl.useApplicationModule(HttpSessionCookieImpl.java:258) at oracle.jbo.common.ampool.SessionCookieImpl.useApplicationModule(SessionCookieImpl.java:397) at oracle.jbo.common.ampool.SessionCookieImpl.useApplicationModule(SessionCookieImpl.java:392) at oracle.adf.model.bc4j.DCJboDataControl.rebuildApplicationModule(DCJboDataControl.java:1550) at oracle.adf.model.bc4j.DCJboDataControl.beginRequest(DCJboDataControl.java:1408) at oracle.adf.model.binding.DCDataControlReference.getDataControl(DCDataControlReference.java:99) at oracle.adf.model.BindingContext.get(BindingContext.java:465) at oracle.adf.model.binding.DCUtil.findSpelObject(DCUtil.java:280) at oracle.adf.model.binding.DCUtil.findSpelObject(DCUtil.java:248) at oracle.adf.model.binding.DCUtil.findContextObject(DCUtil.java:383) at oracle.adf.model.binding.DCIteratorBinding.<init>(DCIteratorBinding.java:127) at oracle.jbo.uicli.binding.JUIteratorBinding.<init>(JUIteratorBinding.java:60) at oracle.jbo.uicli.binding.JUIteratorDef.createIterBinding(JUIteratorDef.java:87) at oracle.jbo.uicli.binding.JUIteratorDef.createIterBinding(JUIteratorDef.java:51) at oracle.adf.model.binding.DCIteratorBindingDef.createExecutableBinding(DCIteratorBindingDef.java:277) at oracle.adf.model.binding.DCBindingContainerDef.createExecutables(DCBindingContainerDef.java:296) at oracle.adf.model.binding.DCBindingContainerDef.createBindingContainer(DCBindingContainerDef.java:425) at oracle.adf.model.binding.DCBindingContainerReference.createBindingContainer(DCBindingContainerReference.java:54) at oracle.adf.model.binding.DCBindingContainerReference.getBindingContainer(DCBindingContainerReference.java:44)
We have tried many things:
* Checking the databindings in the model layer of the ADF application
* Checking and testing the datasources on the Linux Application Server
* Using Jdeveloper 10.1.3 and later 10.1.3.1
* Deploy remotely from Jdeveloper
* Deploy the EAR file from the EM consol
* Adding extra ADF/BC4J libraries with the Linux deployment
* Creating another OC4J instance, deploying the BC4J components and redeploying the ADF application
* Reinstalling the Application Server software on Linux (clean install)
Does anyone have a clue why it works on only on Windows and not on Linux?
We have not tried yet :
* To deploy another ADF business components application on the Linux application Server (when I have done this I'll get back to you)
* Compare the versions of the ADF components used on the application server with the versions of the ADF components in the Jdeveloper installation (could there be a difference? Is there a newer version of Application Server 10.1.3 available?).
Cheers,
Thomas

Thank you guys. We have found the solution for the deployment problem on Linux. Oracle technical support has pointed us into the right direction.
During the development process two databindings (XML files) were renamed in the model layer (\Model\classes\model\dataaccess\). Like for example we had a data binding called DTBinding.xml that was renamed to DtBinding.xml. The changes were applied in the source code of the project. After depoyment to the application server it seems that the old databinding file was still there (DTBinding.xml). This was the cause of the JBO-25002 error on Linux. After renaming DTBinding.xml to correct file name DtBinding.xml (in the folder /opt/oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/j2ee/OC4J_TMFB/applications/APPNAME/APPNAME/WEB-INF/classes/model/dataaccess) and restarting the OC4J instance on the application server the application was finally working on Linux.
A few things to keep in mind when you are developing on Windows and deploying to Linux:
* The Windows OS is not looking at uppercase characters in XML file names. As long as the file name of the XML is correct it will be found.
* It seems that changes in the databinding filenames in the JDeveloper (10.1.3.1) source code are not correctly submitted after building and deploying the project. So be carefull with changing names.

Installation of Developer Suite 10g in Linux

Hi,
I've done the configuration of Developer Suite 10g on Windows OS. But i want to know how can i configure the Developer Suite 10g in Linux platform.
Any link for this would help me a lot.
I have done some configuration, but i'm facing some problems with it. Like i've compiled the form in windows version, but when i try to compile the form in
linux, i'm facing the problems. In the form there are some libraries attached to it. When compiled in Windows, it got compiled successfully, but when i compile it
in Linux, it is unable to find the procedures and function in the libraries. To come out of this situation, i've placed all the libraries and the forms in a single folder. still
the problem exists. It is giving an error saying that the Invalid identifier, whereever i've mentioned the procedures/functions of libraries. Even in windows, i've all
the forms and libraries in the same folder.
Regards,
Alok Dubey

First of all which Linux....????I am successful in installing it. It is Redhat Linux 5.0 Enterprise edition. But i'm facing the problem in configuring it.
I checked out from Oracle web site, this linux version supports the Developer Suite 10g. If u can send me any document
or any link which u felt that it is very useful, then Please let me know.
Have you checked if it is registered with DevSuite10g...???How to check this ..
"I have done some configuration.."
Which....????
I've set the forms path so that i can run the forms using the url in the browser. But i feel that my configuration is incomplete. As i've mentioned already that when my form is
compiled in the windows, it is getting compiled. But when i compile in linux, it is showing the error like Invalid Identifier. Here the Identifier name it is dispalying is the name of function(Which
is in the attached library).

Alok Dubey

Error on deploy a form on web

Hi,
I have setup the Oracle Application Server version 4.0.7 and
Developer Server 6.0 which runing on Windows NT 4.0 with SP3.
When I am deploying my form on the web, I get the screen "Loading
Java Applet..." for quite some time, after that I have an error
message display "FRM-99999: Registry file
http://gmhpg.gmhpg.com:88/forms60code/oracle/registry/Registery.d

I have check on the directory the registery.dat file is there.
but I not sure why it had this error.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Oscar,
Question - are you running your application as a static or
cartridge configuration. Either way, I would advise you to
check the code and codebase params for your applet. This
usually happens if there is a problem with the virtual directory
setting for the java jar's directory. If you are using a
cartridge, you need to check that the jar's directory is set up
on the listener, that this is reflected in the cartridge
parameters (assuming you are using variables), and that your
application is correctly picking up the cartridge at runtime.
The fastest way to check it is to temporarly set up a static
html file and run you application directly - this will give you
a clear indication where the problem lies.

Why can i install forms server properly in windows xp?

I guess i haven't installed FORMS SERVER properly, because in my \developer\bin\ i cant find "ifsrv60.exe"
the installation prompts me that if i have OEM (oracle enterprise manager) (which i think is ORACLE 9.2 ENTERPRISE EDITION) i should select NO, to avoid creating that service... so i always choose "NO".
I've tried choosing "YES" twice, even in SAFE MODE, and it crashes, saying something about "ifsrv60.exe -install"...and something about a "spawn" or something.
i wanna test if all works but without my "forms server" i guess i cant test it right? what should i do?
also, when installing i chose "server installation", then "web deployment" and then "single computer".
help me out

Hi
There is a special version for windows XP i dont remember the exact number right now but you have to install from that specific cd and plus you need to install patches 13.
If i understand you correctly, you are not able to connect to database? if so, you need to configure the tnsnames.ora file. you can use the Net8 easy config from start/programs/$oraclehome$.
or you can manually set it from Oraclehome$\net80\admin\tnsnames.ora
set it as:
<service name> =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <machine name)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = <SID>))
I suggest you de-install everything you have installed previously, and start fresh.
Hope this helps
Regards
Tony

Searching for a deployment tool for Developer Applications

hey ladies & gentlemen.....I wish that I should've a single setup.exe file to install my appliation developed in Oracle Developer,in addition it should also install the Oracle Database after copying the runtime application files. In this way I wish to facilitate my clients so that they should not call me to re-install the client application if he needs to reinstall the application after a system or windows crash recovery,n he should perform it just like installing another appliation like MS-Office etc. although I know that installing the Oracle Database is a very technical matter,yet I'm looking to fulfill my wish:).thanx.

You can't deploy a Forms application as an .exe. You need to install the runtime and then all the FMX/PLL/MMX files. There are tools that may help you package this up but not to a .exe file - this is why a web deployed application has advantages over client/server.

linebuf varchar2(100);
begin
file1 := TEXT_IO.FOPEN(:CSV.CSV_PATH, 'r');
Text_IO.Get_Line(file1, linebuf);
if linebuf!='blablablablabla' then msg('line is OK!');
else msg('Line is wrong!');
end if;
TEXT_IO.FCLOSE(file1);
end;
On local machine when i enter into :CSV.CSV_PATH "C:\details.txt" the file gets loaded because it gets processing, I can see messages.
When I upload form onto remote web-deployed app server, I enter into path "D:\details.txt" (I cannot write on C:, the files are the same) nothing happens. Does it mean text_io won't work on Fomrs6i web-deployed? How can I investigate this issue.
Thanks in advance

With Forms Server deployments. TEXT_IO writes the file on the Forms server not the local PC as it did in client-server mode.
Here are some workarounds
1) Download the WEBUTIL add-on from Oracle and use its TEXT_IO package to write to the local file.
WebUtil is an essential add-on loaded with goodies such as a file browse dialog for local files. Its easy to use and is designed to be compatible with other oracle routines like TEXT_IO.
Kudos to Duncan Mills at Oracle for this top add-on - dont leave home without it.
www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/webutil.htm2) Use the original TEXT_IO (as you are now) to write to a file on the Forms Sever , then display it in a browser window using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT
3) I remember seeing some some old Java scripts on OTN to write to local PC.
MY APOLOGIES for #3. Most forum posts can be solved with that little gem of an answer. "My sink is blocked" ... "yeah I saw some java code to fix that"

Deployment of forms developed on windows in Linux Forms Server
