Customers running Forms over Internet (WAN)

I am looking for customers running forms over internet (wan). I read the the customer's testimonials at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ids/customers/index.html but
I didn't find any case about running forms application over internet.

Aviana,
Running a Forms application over the internet can be done, but there are a few things you need to consider before you do this. First, all of your users MUST be on High Speed. As Francios eluded to, Forms applications are Java Applets. Therefore, each person using the application will receive all of the Java Archive (.jar) files used by your program in order for it to run on their computer. Each time a user runs your application, the application will either download the initial set of .jar files or it must validate the .jar files that were previously downloaded to ensure they are current. This can be extreamly slow over dial-up and even on High-Speed line that are less than 256 kbps. Additionally, a user must either have the Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed our they will need to have Oracle's Jinitiator installed. Past experience showed this was a major trouble spot for Dial-up users.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is make sure there are no better alternatives before going down this path. I worked on an application like this because management thought it was the cheaper way to accomplish what was needed. Four years later, after a lot of user complaints and a lot of time was spent supporting users, the application was rewritten from the ground up as a pure web app because it became too much to support and there were too many user complaints.
Just a thought. :-)

Make change to existing EBS r12 form

Hi All,
New to form dev. Can anyone offer an explanation or link to documentation that shows how to take an existing EBS r12 form, make changes to it and then push it back to the EBS server.
I've already looked at OAF with JDev however the forms i need to change also include the type .fbx (fmb) and i've been lead to believe that to create/modify these i need to be using Forms Developer.
Any advice welcomed.
Cheers

Hello Hsawwan,
In doc 380490.1 option 2.1,2.2,2.3 in all these options its saying as 'Restrict access to a limited set of Oracle Applications responsibilities for users logging in via the Internet' also in option 2.4 there is no limitation documented anywhere but while configuring context file its stricley saying to disable all services other then oa pages hosting.
I just want to know is it possible to make entire EBS services available over internet by implementing reverse proxy.

EBS server access through internet

Hello Friends
I want to access EBS R12 server through internet real IP. All of my ports are blocked for security access. My EBS access port is 8015 and TNS port is 1536. I have opened 8010 port now I can open EBS login screen but I can’t open any entry screen. My question is all of you that is it require to open another port or ports like 1536.
I will be very much happy if any body can replay very quickly.
Regards,
Makshud

Hi Maksud,
How do you get this error? When logging to the application? What does Apache log file say (error_log and access_log)?
Please see if (Note: 119706.1 - Troubleshooting Guide TNS-12535 or ORA-12535 or ORA-12170 Errors) helps.

How to upload data into form of Oracle EBS R12 using ATS ver 9.0

Hi experts,
Could you please guide me how to upload data into form on Oracle EBS R12 using Oracle Application Testing Suite verson 9.(The simpliest way)
For example: I need to create user account on Oracle EBS. Normally, I use Dataloader to upload the data, however it just can upload one by one record, cannot upload multi record at same time. Moreover if the performance of server is low, so I will get the issue when using dataloader.
Thanks in advance
Best Regards
Hieu

Hi you can create Virtual users to enter data. Note than you have to name the objects accordingly.
For Example default recording provided by Open script is ObjectNAME_(Index No of the object).
when you record one iteration the name of any object would be ObjectNAME_(0)
You can then create virtual users so the index will increment as the total number of Virtual users increases. Also you have to handle which row of your test data would get mapped to which Virtual user in the script run session.
Thanks

EBS R12 not launcing forms on mac os x

Hi
We are in oracle EBS R12 and have jdk 6 update 7 installed on the server.
EBS launcing forms well on windows os but when we try to open EBS on mac os asks java 7 and installs it, but later says Jinitiator version is too low please install latest version of java 1.1.8 or later. but it works fine on windows.
As i know, now EBS is compatible with java update 7 and mac os certified to run EBS R12 with java 7.
Not finding java 6 for mac version. won't EBS run with java 6 update on mac or is it compulsary to update java from 6 to 7 on server..?
Please suggest
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Please refer link:
Mac OS X Java 7 Information for installing and using Java
It says:
Oracle's Java version 7u17 and below have been disabled by Apple on OS X. Updating to the latest release will allow Java to be run on Mac OS X.
I believe the only option you have is to upgrade Java in the Client MAC OS to 7 update 21 or 7 Update 25.
Please update Java and check. If you have trouble loading Java in the updated version, I found a workaround where you can use java to work on any Server JRE by setting a permanent environment variable as:
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Djava.vendor="Sun Microsystems Inc."
But I am not sure, whether it works in Mac OS, please check and let us know!!
Hope this helps!
Thanks &
Best Regards

EBS R12 Extend Oracle Applications: Forms 10g

Hi ,
I am practicing to develop forms in EBS R12. I am copying fmbs to my windows to edit
my forms. I am using developer forms 10g and I am following this steps:
- Copy all pll files, TEMPLATE.fmb & APPSTAND.fmb from $AU_TOP/resource to your local pc (C:\ABC)
- Add (C:\ABC) to FORMS_PATH in the registry
- Close/Open Forms Builder
- Open the form
I am opening the TEMPLATE.fmb on my windows but I encounter these errors:
FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library APPCORE. This library attachment will be lost if the module is saved.
FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library APPDAYPK. This library attachment will be lost if the module is saved.

Please help....thanks

Hi again,
I found some tutorial in the net :) and some install requirements are:
Installation steps
============
This sample dialog need database objects to run.
All the necessary objects are provided in the tutoforms10g.zip file shipped with the article.
This zip file contains 2 sub directories:
/config that contains the configuration files.
/scripts that contains the Sql script files to create the database objects.
Download the tutoforms10g.zip file
Unzip the tutoforms10g.zip file under your <DEVSUITE_HOME>/forms/ directory.
Create a new user in your database
With Sql*plus or SqlDeveloper, run the /scripts/install.sql scriptnote : because this demo use the Webutil functions, the Oracle user where you have created these objects must have the WEBUTIL_DB package compiled or a grant EXECUTE to this package if it is present in another schema.
Under the /tutoforms/ directory compile all the source modulesYou can use the compile_all.bat file located in the same directory to compile all objects at once.e.g. compile_all user/password@instance
Edit the /tutoforms/config/tutforms10g.env file to indicate your own settings (in blue in this example)#oracle home adapt this value to your own setting
ORACLE_HOME=D:\Dev10gR2
FORMS_PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\tutoforms
ORACLE_PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\tutoforms
FORMS_TRACE_PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\tutoforms
CLASSPATH=D:\Dev10gR2\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar;%ORACLE_HOME%\jlib\debugger.jar;%ORACLE_HOME%
\forms\tutoforms\FormsGraph.jar;%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\tutoforms\myIcons.jar;
# webutil config file path
WEBUTIL_CONFIG=D:\Dev10gR2\forms\server\webutil.cfg
Edit the /tutoforms/config/ add_to_formsweb.cfg file to set your own database connect string (in blue in thisexample)
lookAndFeel=Oracle
colorScheme=blaf
logo=no
#don't forget to put your own database connexion
userid=tutoforms10g/tutoforms10g@XE
Copy the /tutoforms/config/tutforms10g.env to the /forms/server directory
add the /tutoforms/config/ add_to_formsweb.cfg at the end of your /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file
Then, you can start the demo by indicating the new [tutoforms10g] formsweb.cfg section.http://machine:8890/forms/frmservlet?config=tutoforms10g
============
What I dont understand here is the WEBUTIL_DB package.
I tried to search my 10g database with it:
Select * from dba_objects where object_name like '%WEBUTIL%';
But no rows selected. Where can I find this package please?
Thanks a lot
