Forms and J2EE on App Server

This is a very general question or rather request for advice.
We currently have a system which was converted from rorms / reports 6i client server to forms / reports 10 App server. The system runs off a main forms menu, and obvioulsy the app server converts the menu and all forms into an applet when presenting it to the lient tier.
Our next aim is to rewrite all the screens and menu in J2EE.
My question is this: when doing the rewrite, is it possible to let the menu, forms and new J2EE application co-exists on the same system, thereby phasing out forms being replaced by the J2EE applications?

Hi
Thanks for the feedback.
The following article on Oracle probably explains the advantages of Forms to J2EE in a broad overview better than I can: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10g/FormsJavaSOD.html
(I only found the article after posting the question by the way.
Our client is currently running Forms and Reports 10G on Oracle AS 10.1.2. Although Oracle clearly states their commitment to the future of Forms, our client feels that you can't ignore the benefits of J2EE client and middle tier applications with regards to their future business needs (especially with regards to SOA) and ease of integration with other web applications / services belonging to our client and their business partners.
What is also disconcerting is the fact that only every 2nd version of App Server seems to be released with Forms and Reports services. At the moment our client cannot upgrade to 10.1.3.1 and leverage the EJB3 features due to that App Server version not having Forms and Report Services to my knowledge. Not sure of Oracle's reason for this.
In the same article above, mention is made of 3rd party tools (like Exodus) from "Forms Migration Partners" which could ease this migration process. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has used any of these tools and their experiences with them. If this is not the appropriate forum for this, please advise where I can post this question.

High availability for Lync 2013 persistent chat server and office web app server

I have 1500 users, need HA in primary data center and DR also. looking for HA and DR solution for persistent chat server and office web app server.
is below correct?
1. 2 persistent chat server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR. can this be reduced or any changes?
2. 2 Office web app server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR. can this be reduced or any changes?
also do i need HLB for both roles?

1) In Lync Server 2013, there are improvements in both high availability and disaster recovery:
High availability improvements: SQL Server mirroring is used to provide high availability for the Persistent Chat Server content database and Persistent Chat compliance database within a data center (in-site).
Disaster recovery improvements: Persistent Chat Server supports a stretched pool architecture that enables a single Persistent Chat Server pool to be stretched across two sites (that is, a single logical pool in the topology, with servers in the pool physically
located across two sites). SQL Server Log Shipping is used for cross-site disaster recovery.
For more information about high availability and disaster recovery, see
Configuring Persistent Chat Server for High Availability and Disaster Recovery in the Deployment documentation.
2) for HA & DR, you can 2 Office web app server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR. and You will need HLB for office web app servers

Forms based system on App server 10.1.2.2 windows server 2008 questions

Hi guys,
We run a 10g forms based MRP system. We converted to 10g 3 years ago and have been selling our system without issue now for that time.
The current system has a shelf life of at least 3 more years whilst we develop a new system in 11g and jdeveloper.
We currently deploy on windows 2003 R2 with app server 10.1.2.2.
We cant move to patchset 10.1.2.3 as they are not backward compatible with our JAR file and we do not have the man power to upgrade all our customers in a short space of time.
Eventually 2003 will cease to be available (not sure the shelf life on this, has anyone any idea?)
Which leaves Server 2008 as the only available server. This does not work with 10.1.2.2.. so we are struggling to find a way round our issues.
Any ideas?

Hi,
We have just run it through with the same patchset for the installer. This is a clean install of Win OS and installed the 10g database first.
We receive the following error when installing the App Server (Forms & Reports)
*"Output generated from configuration assistant "Application Server Control Configuration Assistant":*
*Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control Release 10.1.2.0.2*
*Copyright (c) 1996, 2005 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.*

*The Oracleoracleas1ASControl service could not be started.*
*A service specific error occurred: 2.*
*More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3547.*
*Configuration assistant "Application Server Control Configuration Assistant" failed"*
When we type NET HELPMSG 3547 (as suggested), we receive the following error message:
*"A service specifig error occurred: ***."*
Are you running Windows Server 2008 (first release) or Windows Server 2008 R2?
Any suggestions? I will try installing the App Server without installing the database now to see if that makes any difference.
Thanks

Distributed transactions, EJB and Sun Java App Server

Hello,
I'm trying to implement a CMT Stateless EJB that inserts data into a Oracle 9.2 table. All this running into a Sun Java System App Server 8.2 and using a XA Database Connection Pool.
Before starting bothering you, a simple question: has anybody successfully retrieved a connection from a XA connection pool? I've read somewhere that Oracle thin client is very limited and I wonder if one of its limitations would be "no support to XA transactions".
My pool information:
<jdbc-connection-pool connection-validation-method="auto-commit" datasource-classname="oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource" fail-all-connections="false" idle-timeout-in-seconds="300" is-connection-validation-required="false" is-isolation-level-guaranteed="true" max-pool-size="32" max-wait-time-in-millis="60000" name="MyXAPool" pool-resize-quantity="2" res-type="javax.sql.XADataSource" steady-pool-size="8" transaction-isolation-level="read-committed">
<property name="DataSourceName" value="OracleXADataSource"/>
<property name="ImplicitCachingEnabled" value="false"/>
<property name="NetworkProtocol" value="tcp"/>
<property name="LoginTimeout" value="0"/>
<property name="Password" value="arbor123"/>
<property name="URL" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@HostName:1521:Alias"/>
<property name="NativeXA" value="false"/>
<property name="User" value="arbor"/>
<property name="ExplicitCachingEnabled" value="false"/>
</jdbc-connection-pool>
I created a jdbc resource called jdbc/__myxa so I can access the database pool using JNDI.
The code:
InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource) jndiContext.lookup("jdbc/__myxa");
Connection con = ds.getConnection();
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement( "INSERT INTO TESTE_CLAUDIO( MSG, MSG_DT) VALUES ('" + aMessage + "', SYSDATE)" );
ps.execute();
con.close();
When attempting to get the connection, I got an exception saying that:
"This Managed Connection is not valid as the phyiscal connection is not usable"
Thanks for any information

Hi Claudio,
J2EE applications should retrieve all their resources through their component environment (java:comp/env) -- not by doing a global JNDI lookup. You should declare a resource-ref in ejb-jar.xml for the bean and then map that resource-ref to your physical data source (jdbc/__myxa) in sun-ejb-jar.xml. E.g, if the res-ref-name is "foo", your code would look it up under context.lookup("java:comp/env/foo");

Calling Reports 10g from Forms 10g without an app server

Hi
I have Forms 10g, and for development/testing purposes I am able to run a form in my local machine using the standalone OC4J. I needn't to deploy the form to test it.
I can do the same with Reports 10g -- run a report in my local machine without an app server.
However, I could not manage to call a Report from a Form that way, without an app server. It does not seem possible -- is it? Is there a way to set this up using the standalone OC4J or something like that?
Thanks
Luis

Hi
Sorry for the late reply.
Here's how you start the report server from windows XP machine.
1. Choose a unique name for the report server. Eg. <your_pc_name>_repserver
2. As the report server runs in its own process, it can be started by the following command, accessible from the \ bin directory of the
Oracle Developer Suite or Oracle Application Server 10g installation.
rwserver –install <server_name> . It is now treated as a windows service and hence you can stop/start or restart from the services menu.
3. If you want specific settings for your report server, look for the <rep_server_name>.conf file under <orahome>/reports/conf directory, after starting the server from above command. This file is created by oracle automatically, once the rep server gets started.
For more info on this, please refer to white papers on the Forms and reports integration, found on the otn->Forms.
Hope this helps

SharePoint 2013 Anonymous (public) site and Office Web Apps Server 2013 issue with download.aspx

Our organization has a public facing anonymous site in SharePoint 2013 which allows access to documents (docx) in a library. ViewFormsLockdown is activated as we present the documents via CQWP / custom template. We are combating the usual
issue of multiple login prompts when using Internet Explorer when a user accesses said document. We also have tried using the Word Viewer (view only mode) from Office Web Apps Server 2013 which works well, but ...
the problem stems from the fact that users can go the file menu from the word view and choose to download the document (which is what we want), unfortunately it looks like the link redirects via /_layouts/15/download.aspx which also presents a login
prompt. Much has been written out there about doing direct links for documents via /_layouts/download.aspx to address multiple login prompts when the document is opening in word (from IE).
I've tried nearly every combination of recommendations (disabling client integration, browser file handling (permissive/strict), ViewFormsLockdown feature, web.config modifications with options and propfind verbs and more) all to varying levels of success,
but never totally getting rid of the prompt. It has been stated that because the downloads.aspx inherits from Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.Download this will not allow anonymous access. We really want to use the word view from the Office
web app and have the file download functionality work from the menu there ... can anyone suggest an alternate fix? I might be wishing but will appreciate any guidance offered ...
cheers,
Dean

2 questions - I have downloaded the PDF Reader - Annotate, Scan , Fill Forms and Take Notes app to m

When I fill out a form within this app and email it out the recipient receives a blank form, I looked in the manual and it says make sure you complete the saving process, but cannot seem to figure that part out.
Also, these are forms I will be using on a daily basis and do not want to make permanent changes to the form, is this possible? Or will I need to create several copies of the form?
Please help, as this is time sensitive subject.

Can you please tell us what the recipient is using to view the PDF? Many viewers don't support viewing filled PDF forms and the recipient will need to use a PDF viewer like the Adobe Reader to view the form.
You can make a copy of your form like this:
In the file browser under Documents view, you should see an Edit button. Tap the edit button.
Tap the file you want to copy
Tap the duplicate/move button (two small documents at the bottom of the screen)
Tap Duplicate
That creates a duplicate copy of the document. You can then use the edit button to rename if you would like.

Oracle forms and reports in SQL Server

My company has developed a application in Oracle forms and reports that works with a Oracle database. In the database also exist a lot of triggers, procedures, functions and packages.
The application is working perfectly with the Oracle database but I have a request from a very promissing potencial client that has the restriction that could only use a SQL Servr database.
I know that we have to create a new version of the all database objects, including triggers, function, procedures but my main question is if is possible and if works a forms/reports application connected to a SQL Server database?
Thank you for your help

MichaelFerrante,Thank you for your help.
I have already used the HS services to connecto to external databases from our main Oracle database, and the solution works fine.
But unfortunally for this particular client he cannont have installed a Oracle database due to internal policies restrictions.
I can not migrate the full application to another technology like ADF in less than 6 or 8 months.
Do you thifnk that there is any other solution?

Forms and Reports in Weblogic Server 12c?

I'm trying to determine if Forms and Reports 11g are supported in Weblogic Server 12c. I have found numerous questions from years ago indicating that that was not the case then, but I also found a few posts that indicated that this support would be added in the future. I am unable to find any recent posts to confirm this nor do I see anything in the certification matrices that lead me to believe that this is a supported configuration. Can anyone give a definitive answer?

Problems between IDE and Deployment on App Server 8.2

I have an application that I wrote last year using JSC-EA and converted it ti JSC2-1. I can run the application on my development environment SunAppServer 8.2 with no problems.
When I attempt to deploy it to a standalone Sun App Server 8.2 I experience the following:
1) Login page works fine
2) Main menu selection page works fine
3) Results page does not display information.
More details:
Main Menu page consists of:
1) a page with a page fragment that contains a menu.
2) 3 or 4 JSF components
Results page consists of:
1) 2-3 JSF text components (display OK)
2) Same menu page fragment as above (displays OK)
3) Second page fragment that contains a table with components added under program control (does not get displayed in deployment server, but displays fine in IDE server).
Is there ANY possibility that this can be related to migration from JSC2-EA to JSC2-1? If so, what could cause this behavior?
Is there ANY explanation as to why the application displays OK in the IDE (same app server version as deployment) but not in the deployment server?
ANY help is appreciated.
Thanks,

For future references:
this happens to me too and I found that the cause is that the AM server you are going to configure, is already registered into the directory server.
Try running this command (with the obvious parameters substituted)
ldapsearch -B -T -D 'cn=directory manager' -w YOUR_CREDENTIALS -b ou=1.0,ou=iPlanetAMPlatformService,ou=services,YOUR_BASEDN -s base objectclass=* | grep YOUR_SERVERNAMEIf you found that the server you are configuring is listed here try going to AMserver console (if you have another AMserver configured) and browse to Configuration->System Properties->Platforms. If the server is here, remove it, if not, just hit Save (very important).
If this is your first AM and is a first installation you can just get rid of the Directory Server suffix and recreate it with the Top Entry alone.
