Forms 6.0 Server and Appletviewer

Help!!! I've been trying for days to get the forms 6.0 server to work with my forms through the appletviewer.When I try to run the form through the applet viewer using static.htm the developer splash screen comes up a java window opens then nothing happens.
I can however run the form through developer forms designer in the appletviewer when I do run as a web form.

Does your static.htm page have the username, password, and hostname in the SERVERARGS parameter? If not, try adding it and see what happens.

Diff between Forms Server and OAS

What's the difference between Oracle Forms Server and Oracle Applications Server

OAS is the web server (it will run JSP's, serve up HTML files, etc). Forms server is not a web server. It runs the form on the server and communicates directly with the Forms applet running on the client PC. That is the extent of the Forms server.

Retrieving PDF form from Application server

hi all,
i am saving a pdf form in application server and when the user wants the same file then i want to retrive that file from application and show the user and it should not be saved to presentation server only he should see it.
iam able to save it to presentation layer using gui_download but my requirement is not to save it show only display the form.
Thanks in advance,
Sree
helpful answers will be surely rewarded points

Hi,
1st solution - use DOI (desktop office integration). This way you can open Adobe, Microsoft, and others application documents directly in the SAP windows. See SAP document how to do it. It's not a little work, but it should fulfill your requirements.
2nd solution - share the folder with the PDF documents and then with shell command (start
server\folder\xxxxxx.pdf) at the front end access it and start the associated application at the frontend. I don't recommend this one, sharing folders at the appl.server is a security threat...
You know about the points and useful answers...

Picking of Adobe forms from application server

Hi Gurus
We have SAP ECC 6.0. So far in our system we have text files and CSV excel files which comes from external system and lies in application sever and these are being picked up automatically by system and gets processed in SAP.
1)The requirement is to "pick the adobe forms from application server and read some fields in the form and update the fields (required) in customer master data in SAP". How can we achieve this?
Any kind of help is appreciated.
Thanks
Aleem

Hi Aleem,
I tried to work on a similar scenario couple of months back. But it was not successful. Will you please let me know if you get any solution???
Thanks in advance

Interesting difference in Menus between 6i (client-server) and 10g (web)

I just noticed an interesting difference between Forms 6i (client-server) and 10g (web forms). Perhaps you know a work around.
We have an oracle form with a customized menu attached. The main body of the application displays nothing so we shrunk the application window down to the tiny window possible just leaving the 3 or 4 drop down menu visible. So it was basically this little floating toolbar where users could pull down a menu and select an oracle form to open.
The difference is that in 10g Web Forms when the pull down menu is accessed, the list of selectable items is contained within the FORMS_MDI_WINDOW (or the IE window). So if the list is long then the drop down list shows a small arrow at the top and bottom that forces you to scroll thru the remaining items in the menu.
Whereas in 6i, when the menu was access the contents of the menu would show in full. Even if it meant expanding the menu beyond the FORMS_MDI_WINDOW.
Does anyone know if I'm stuck with this functionality? If I'm stuck it will mean I need to make my little menu application full screen so that users can see all the items in a menu without having to scroll thru choices using these little arrows.
Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated!

This is a consequence of the client being Java. When you run a Java application in a browser it cannot draw outside the browser window area. It's fully contained within the browser in every sense. That is by design.
There is no way to get around this that I know of.

Help Needed!!!! Running Forms 6i, Reports 6i and WebDB on the same NT box...

Hi All!
I am in need of some help.
I'm trying to set up the sample code for the Healthy Living WebSite.
I need to have WebDB 2.2x, Forms 6i and Reports 6i all running on the same box. Does anyone know how to set this up....?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,
You didn't mention but do you also wish to install the database(8i) on the same machine ?
I am also trying to install all these products(+8i and designer 6i) on the same box but I am concerned more about the min. resources needed before I get started.(I put up a question about it on the 6i Forum, but nobody has answered yet !)
The correct install order should be Forms/Reports 6i then Forms/Reports 6i Server and then WebDb 2.2.
Forms /reports server needs a http listener and installs en configures the WebDb listener for the job.(you are prompted for this during tho have the install process).This is handy if you are intending to use WebDb anyway. When you install Webdb it detects the already installed WebDb listener and does not reinstall.
You do have the SYS password on the database you will use to stored the WDK and WebDb schema.
About installing the demo.....
I dont' think there are any special issues.I have never done it.
If you are intending to install an 8i database on the same box there are some important things to consider with respect to the install order and what products in which Oracle home must be installed.
1.Forms/Reports first in the default_oracle
home.
2.Then Oracle 8i in a 2nd oracle home call
it ora81 for example.
3.Then WebDb in the non oracle 8i home !!
This is just a quick summary.
If you run into any problems let me know
Good Luck.
Dave.

Dev 6.0 forms server and 8i

One server with NT 4.0 SP5 running Oracle 8i (8.1.5.0.5) and Dev 6.0 (6.0.5.32) installed in seperate oracle homes. I configured tnsnames correctly and created a very simple form that connects to the DB and displayes two fields. Form runs fine in client/server form runtime mode. Setup a client with IE5 microsoft VM (5.0.0.3240) and security configured so I can run the javasoft examples. I started the Forms server as a service running as a domain admin. When I try to run the form using static (not a cartridge) config it connects to my static.htm file and downloads some java stuff and then says applet initialized and displayes the blue logo for Oracle Developer Server and then stops, no form??? So my first question is: this config is supported right? Then what am I doing wrong? I initially installed Dev. 6.0 using the wrong installer (the one on the distribution), but then installed again (ontop of current config, I couldn'e un-install) and patched it to 6.0.5.32 and as I said the forms run in Client/Server mode fine. How do I debug the forms server??? I don't get any error messages.

I got it!
After reading numerous postings I discovered that I needed to unzip the class.zip files and store them in the java directory, but thanks anyway.

How to store and retrieve a PDF form to SQL Server from LiveCycle?

My intention is to save a complete PDF form into a database and then later on retrieve this form from DB.
To do this, SQL Server has got two datatypes, image or Varbinary(max). I am able to store a PDF using "Execute SQL Statement"(I have written an Insert statement). Some value is being written into DB as well.
But when I try to retrieve this record using "Query Single Row"(I store the result to a doc variable), the retrieved PDF is of an unknown type and cannot be opened by Adobe Reader.
I am not sure if my approach is correct. Is it possible to store/retrieve a PDF form to/from a DB through LiveCycle?
If yes, please give me some guidance.

hi
am not sure
but u can use the same concept as storing image in db and retrieve..
create a blob column
parse that pdf and store into that column.
again u retrieve the content and via file io make the same name with pdf extension..

**** Editing and Saving an Adobe Form on the Server ****

We are trying to achieve the following:
1. Generate 3D PDF from VRML (Done)
2. Embed the 3D PDF into a PDF Template and save it on the Server as an editable .pdf file
3. Then, the user must be able to open the Editable PDF inside a web browser such as IE.
4. The user must then enter data in some fields (Text field, drop down etc) and save it.
5. The save action must save the data in a database and importantly, the PDF itself as .pdf file on the same server location. The updated PDF file on the server location must be available for further editing and vieweing in the updated state.
Questions:
1. Do the ADOBE Livecycle APIs support such a feature?
2. Is there a code sample for the same?
3. IF we cannot save the PDF with the updated data back to the server, then is there a way by which we can dynamically associate a PDF template with the user given data, generate it and render it using Livecycle Java APIs at runtime?
Thanks
Ram

Yes. This is possible through an API. See the API Quick Start code for Forms ES at
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/programLC/help/000162.html#1548277
There are different methods of submitting data from the client (xml, http post, xml+xdp, and pdf). You can extract the data server side, insert the data to database, merge the data with a form and save the form on the server.

Forms developer 11g x32 and production server 11g x64?

Hi all
Can I develop 11g forms on x32 windows machine and run or compile them on windows server x64??
I ask this because the media is about 3GB to download, so I need to be sure.
thanks..

You mean having the 32bit version of forms installed in development, and the 64bit version of forms installed in production? If you recompile your forms on your production server you should be fine.
cheers

IPad 2 Contacts sync with Exchange server and change Outlook custom form

Following iPad synchronizing Contacts, we find that our custom form in Outlook is pushed back to the Microsoft default “IPM:Contact”.
It appears that only the first 500 [approximation] contacts are affected. There are 5k contacts and we are seeing no other patterns.
We are not expecting an iOS Contact will resemble that of MS-Contacts, at the same time we are puzzled how iPad is rejecting and then causing ActiveSync to force change to the Exchange server.
Has anyone else experienced this, and can perhaps recommend a workaround?
Environment
MAC iPad2 iOS v4.3.5 attached using ActiveSync
Exchange 2003 SP2
Users are with either Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010
Thank you very much.
Best Regards.

I'm excited to finally sync my work email with my iPhone. Our IT didn't support it and we work off of an Exchange server. I, too, was nervous about which contacts to sync. While I want my work email, I don't need my contacts and would rather have mine from my mac at home. Unfortunately, you can only do one at a time. The following paragraph is from a c net review. Find the entire article here (the part about the Exchange Server is about 1/2 way down):
http://reviews.cnet.com/apple-iphone-3g/
//Once you're ready to go, the iPhone will sync your Outlook e-mail, contacts, and calendar. Be advised that while the iPhone can support multiple POP3 accounts at once (two Yahoo accounts, for instance), it syncs with only one Exchange server and, worse, with only with one calendar or contacts list at a time. If you have a separate personal calendar, your work calendar will replace it once you start the sync. (You'll be notified before it happens.)//
Hope this helps!

Please help with Forms server and forms

Hi, all
I am new to oracle.
Mine is home PC and the spec. of the system are as follows.
database:Oracle 8i EE
Forms :6i
OS :Windows 2000
Yesterday I downloaded Oracle9iAS Server and followed the documentation in installing.
As per the documentation, I accepted default values in many cases and went thru with installation.
At the end of the installation, i got the following config(found at the bottom of the message).
Please give me steps in resolving the issues below.
Also,
when I run the "Run form from web" from Programs....
what if the web listener port is taken. how do we figure out if one is already in use and if so what are other ports available to me.
and finally in the same app. is "Web Host" the name of my computer on which I installed the Oracle server?

But I did a search for 6iServer.conf and did NOT locate any such file
Please help
TIA
SHANKAR
Shankar,
It would have helped if you had indicated what is the full version of 9iAS that you have installed. By default the portnumber that is used is 7778.
As per the entries, they should have already been made in the config files. But check that the 6iServer.Conf file and it should contain the entries that you are being told to update. If not, then add the entries in the 6iServer.conf file and that is all you need.
HTH.

Difference between forms server and application server

Hi,
What is the difference between Oracle Forms Server and Oracle Application Server?
Is both are Same or Not?
pls give me a reply.
Thanks

Is both are Same or Not?No, Forms Server is just a component of Application Server, as you can see on http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/index.htm

Confused about the 11g R2 Forms Server and using SSL

All,
I just installed the 11g R2 Forms Server software without configuring it.
I then ran the config.sh script to configure it which creates a weblogic server domain.
I'm a bit confused now. If I run opmnctl status command I get the following:
Processes in Instance: frmrep_inst_1
--------------------------------------------------------------+---------
ias-component | process-type | pid | status
--------------------------------------------------------------+---------
emagent_frmrep_inst_1 | EMAGENT | 28279 | Alive
RptSvr_eiaorapptest_frmrep_ins | ReportsServerComp~ | 28124 | Alive
ohs1 | OHS | 27831 | Alive
This looks to me like there is an Oracle Http Server installed.
Is the Oracle Http Server answering web calls when I run forms or is the Weg Logic Server answering the call?
Also, the Oracle Forms Installation Documentation talks about securing your environment with Oracle Identity Manager but we are not using Oracle Identity Manager. I want to use SSL but I'm not sure how to secure the environment with SSL. Do I need to configure the WebLogic server to use SSL or the OHS?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Fusion Middleware 11.1.x does include HTTP Server (OHS) and also requires WLS. Both HTTP Server and WLS are http listeners, amongst other things. So whether WLS handles a request or HTTP Server does it will be entirely up to you and/or the end-user.
OHS has a listener which by default (in FMw) listens for requests on port 8888. On the other hand WLS_FORMS is preconfigured to listen on port 9001.
This means that if your URL looks like the following, WLS_FORMS will directly answer the client:
<blockquote>http://server:9001/forms/frmservlet?form=abc</blockquote>
If the URL looks like the following, the HTTP Server will reply:
<blockquote>http://server:8888/forms/frmservlet?form=abc</blockquote>
The request path when using OHS as the listener to call Oracle Forms would look like this:
<blockquote>CLIENT --- OHS --- WLS_FORMS --- FORMS SERVLET --- FORMS RUNTIME (frmweb.exe) --- DATABASE</blockquote>
The request path when using WLS_FORMS as the listener to call Oracle Forms would look like this:
<blockquote>CLIENT --- WLS_FORMS --- FORMS SERVLET --- FORMS RUNTIME (frmweb.exe) --- DATABASE</blockquote>
Although removing OHS from the path would seem to be better because it is one less server to administer and less system resources consumed, generally it would be argued that the advantages of having it will outweigh the disadvantages.
There are numerous advantages to use OHS in front of WLS, but the most obvious should be that OHS can be set up so that you have one and only one entry point into your FMw environment. In other words, even though for example Forms WLS listens on 9001 and Reports on 9002 and some other app on 9999, all requests can be routed through a single OHS port (e.g. 8888). This gives added security since only one port would need to be open assuming a firewall was in place. This configuration is also helpful when calling one application from another. For example when calling Reports from Forms. If you use OHS, references to other WLS managed servers can be called with a relative reference rather than a fully qualified one.
Regarding whether or not SSL needs to be enabled at any particular point in the path is entirely up to you. You can enable SSL from the client all the way back to the db or any where in between. It is fairly common to see SSL between the client and OHS then no SSL to WLS. But if security is a great concern then you may want to consider SSL from front to back. However, keep in mind that SSL comes at a price. Performance will degrade slightly when SSL is enabled.
Also, OAM (Oracle Access Manager) has nothing to do with SSL. SSL refers to traffic encryption. OAM is for authentication - single sign on.
Consider reviewing the Forms Deployment Guide as well as the other Fusion Middleware documents referenced within it.
<blockquote>http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/index.htm</blockquote>
Finally, and most important, this topic really has nothing to do with Oracle Forms. This is more about how a web server or its environment works.

Error Running Forms: Failure of server APACHE bridge

Hi Everyone,
I have this problem on windows 7 64-bit... installation went fine without any errors.
Forms was working fine, i was able to run test form, and a form that i created, and both were running properly..
suddenly, while testing a new form module, it didn't work, and its showing :
Failure of server APACHE bridge:
No backend server available for connection: timed out after 10 seconds or idempotent set to OFF. I stopped and started the wls_forms and it didn't solve the problem..
i couldn't get to a solution anywhere, is it a problem with weblogic configuration? but how was it working well at the begining... if weblogic services are not starting, then what's the fix for that?
Help would be appreciated...
Thanks..

No, but as said you installed components (the HTTP Server) you wouldn't need for development. Did you start WLS_FORMS?
In any case the latest version of forms would be 11.1.2 where the installation process for a development machine is much easier.
You'd need
- wls1035_generic.jar and a 64bit java runtime
- the 64bit version of forms 11.1.2: http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/middleware/11g/111200/ofm_frmrpts_win_11.1.2.0.0_64_disk1_1of1.zip
of course you can install the 32bit version of forms too on your 64bit machine.
then during installation just check "development mode", and you get a development installation like you got with iDS 10.1.2 with one weblogic instance instead of 3 and all the components you won't need (like webcache or the http server) won't be installed.
cheers
