Forms on web using http mode?

I've installed 9iAS for solaris and can run Forms Services in sockets mode no problem, but when I change the mode to HTTP in the formsweb.cfg and forms60_server files I get the following error:
FRM-92050 Failed to connect to the server: cpi:9001
Details...
Java Exception:
java.net.SocketException: Connection shutdown
at ....
etc.
Are there any other files that should be modified? (maybe httpd.conf?) This is all new to me, so any tips would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Howard Hammermann

Howard,
You might be having a firewall problem. Use the Forms Servlet Listener configuration instead of the Forms server. That's the way Oracle Forms is going. With Forms Patchset 4 or Higher you don't need the to run the Forms Server. Read the whitepages.
Actually install Forms patch# 9. Follow the configuration instructions in the white paper. It works great and eliminates all firewall or proxy servers problems associated in running Forms on the web.
Good luck.

FRM-92050 error when trying to open form after switching to HTTP mode

Hi all,
Yesterday, I installed Oracle Applications 11i on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4 and forms were working correctly in the default mode, which is native (socket). Following steps 4 and 5 in [Doc 201340.1|https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:6398415066875997204::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,201340.1,1,1,1,helvetica], I enabled HTTP mode, and now my forms are not working. When I open a form now, I get this error:
FRM-92050: Failed to connect to the Server: /forms/formservlet:-1
Details...
Java Exception:
java.io.IOException: Negative content-length from http://...
I've searched MetaLink and the forums for this error and all the results I found deal with HTTP headers or cookies being corrupted, usually by an intermediate networking device (web proxy, web cache, SSL accelerator, etc.). I am not using anything of the sort - the client is connecting directly to the Oracle server.
I checked the Apache error log and this is what I see:
[Thu May 14 09:10:28 2009] [error] [client 10.11.1.114] client denied by server configuration: /work/oracle/viscomn/java/java

I don't like the look of those "client denied by server configuration" messages. What's also odd is that the two files referenced by those messages do not exist on the file system:
[oracle@gen1-cs49 logs]$ cat /work/oracle/viscomn/java/java
cat: /work/oracle/viscomn/java/java: No such file or directory
[oracle@gen1-cs49 logs]$ cat /work/oracle/viscomn/java/oracle/ewt
cat: /work/oracle/viscomn/java/oracle/ewt: No such file or directory
Any ideas? Are there any other logfiles I should be checking?

First, login to System Administrator responsibility, then navigate to Concurrent > Manager > Administer > Processes > Internal Manager LogAh, OK - I was able to open the form and I see a table of managers and services and whatnot, and I see an entry for "Internal Manager", but I don't see any way to view the log. I even tried opening the details of the "Internal Manager" entry and the only button there is "Diagnostics".

Forms with OC4J instance runs in http mode, Y?

I don't want my forms to run in http mode - http://fulham:8889/forms/frmservlet.
Can someone help in making me run it in forms itself
I have Enterprise server 9i and forms 10g running on my local machine. At the initial stages, it says about about not being started. Ok, I had to simulate forms in run time by starting an OC4J instance but it now runs in http mode.
Is there a way around this? Has anyone come across this?
many thanks in advance
cube60

What's the alternative you're looking for?
If it is HTTPS to secure the communication - yes that's possible
If it's a plain socket connection in stead of HTTP - I think Oracle dropped that after version 6i, but I'm not 100% sure.
If it is traditional client-server - Oracle dropped that after version 6i.
So, please explain what is you want.

JInititiator 1.3.1.22 and Internet Explorer 7.0 in HTTPS Mode Not Working

Anyone else having problems running Jinitiator 1.3.1.22 in Internet Explorer 7.0 in HTTPS mode? I'm getting the usual unhelpful java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:oracle.forms.engine.Main error.
Works okay in HTTP mode. Confirmed that JInititiator and the certdb.txt file were okay by connecting successfully with IE 6.0 in HTTPS.

Thank you for a very informative response.
I installed 1.3.1.26 and get the same error when trying to connect to Forms in HTTPS mode.
I also verified I can download the frmall.jar file directly from the server.

Again, I can connect via HTTP mode. This only occurs when connecting via HTTPS.
Unfortunately, our customers must use HTTPS mode and I fear they will be forced to upgrade to IE7 within the next month.
Any suggestions you may have are most welcome. Thanks again for your quick response.

Calling form from web application

i use the below url for calling form from web application.
http://host51.yan.com/forms/frmservlet?form=test&width=700
i would like to know about "frmservlet"
if it's a servlet file then
where its located in application server10g

The servlet is part of the forms-installation on the application-server, on the local OC4J this is located in $ORACLE_HOME/forms/j2ee/formsapp.ear
What exactly do you want to know about the servlet?

Forms On Web

Hi All,
I am running my forms on web using forms ver 6.0.8.8. and OAS 4.0.8.Earlier This Application was in forms 45. I have some specific problems mentioned below.
1. I am not able to get the icon gif files displayed.The cion path is mentioned in tha app file and the app file is mentioned in the html. I dont understand the problem. Same is the case with Images.I am a bit confused by this document base and code base concept. ?
2. I have a certain set of HTML Files which I will be using as help files called from the corresponding forms. What I need to know is Is there any way wherein I can navigate to a particular position in a html Page. ?
3.This one is relating to size of applet. Since the MDI Window is no more there on web, My code to maximize the MDI is useless. But How do I maximise the Applet Window? By the Way My Forms Windows has size of 593 * 315 and the co ordinates are real point 6*17
Could anyone pls help out.

The issue yuo have is that Java only has a limited number of fonts. The registry.dat will map the fonts in the forms to
those available in java.
Have a look at the migration papers on otn.oracle.com/products/forms and this will explain a bit more about it
In registry.dat you will see
# Default Font Face mapping.
# appFontname represents a comma delimited list of Application Font Names.
# javaFontname represents a comma delimited list of Java Font Names.
# The number of entries in the appFontname list should match the number in
# the javaFontname list. The elements of the list are comma separated and
# all characters are taken literally, leading and trailing spaces are
# stripped from Face names.
# Note that this file uses the Java 1.1 Font names in order to be able to
# handle the NLS Plane (BUG #431051)
default.fontMap.appFontnames=Courier New,Courier,courier,System,Terminal,Fixed,Fixedsys,Times,Times New Roman,MS Sans Serif,Arial
default.fontMap.javaFontnames=MonoSpaced,MonoSpaced,MonoSpaced,Dialog,MonoSpaced,Dialog,Dialog,Serif,Serif,Dialog,SansSerif
This will map CourierNew to MonoSpace, Courier to Monospace, System to dialog etc....

Exiting Form From Web

Hello,
I have deployed the form in web using OAS 4.0. I have created an html file to call the form.fmx from the server. My problem is that I am unable to come to this Html page after I exit the form.
Can Any one help me.
Thanks in advance

Add a Post-Form trigger to the form triggers with the following code:
Web.Show_Document('file:\<virtual dir>\Page.htm', '_self');
where the first argument is the URL for the web page you want to display and the second, '_self', says to display the page in the same browser instance. Look at the online doc for Web.Show_Document for alternatives.
One thing: if your web page automatically runs the form and you don't want that to happen on form exit, then you need to have a second, seemingly identical web page that doesn't automatically run the form and call that one in Show_Document.

Hi Manish,
SOAP adapter does pass the message to XI (this message contains SOAP envelope although XI expects to get message without it), and during the mapping step i get "Runtime Exception in Message-Mapping transformatio~".
I suppose it's because i created proxy manually. I did so because when i imported WSDL, and tried to generate proxy in CRM, i got an error message that said that proxy couldn't be generated because external definitions are only allowed in XI 3. But my XI version is 3.0! And when I generate the same proxy in my R/3 system that is installed on WAS 640, it works.
What can I do?
Cheers,
Anya.

Forms 6i not working in HTTPS mode

We have installed OAS 4.0.8.0
We have downloaded the required certificates and installed them using the default Oracle documentation.
We cannot display a form using the secure port (8881).
Everything thing work with only the HTTP mode.
Can anybody help please.
null

Assuming you connected to the running form successfully, it sounds like your breakpoint is not being called. In other words, if you put a breakpoint in a trigger that isn't firing then the break will never occur. A simple test would be to add a break in the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger. Since this trigger cannot be avoided, control will quickly be passed to the debugger at startup. If this works then you can assume what I mentioned, which is that your other breakpoints are not being reached.
Just to be sure, I just tested the Debugger in Forms 11.1.2.1 on Windows and it appears to work correctly.

Passing parameters to reports to run on the web using form 9i

Problems on running forms in web mode

Hi guys,
I have a problem seeing icons when I launch an application in web mode. when it runs in client -server mode it works .. (I see icons).
Can you help me?
thak's a lot!
looking forward your reply.
Marco

When running on the web Forms no longer uses an environment variable to pick up icon location. This information is now set in the registry.dat file (located Ohome\forms60\java\oracle\forms\registry\). All icons must be converted to GIF or JPG format.
The registry.dat file has 2 lines for
1) default.icons.iconpath=
2) default.icons.iconextension=
Hope this helps,

IC Web - manager dashboard hangs using HTTPS for CRM_UI_FRAME

Experts,
I am on an ISU-CCS project in realization using IC web front end. Here are our versions:
CRM2007
ECC 6.0 EHP3
We have the IC web client talking to back-end and most everything is looking good.
I turned on HTTPS/SSL using all the usual notes....and it seems to work well, we can even SSO over to back-end to execute webgui transactions via IC Web.
My problem is when I use a certain business profile and test:
Monitoring Operations --> Manager Dashboard
As long as I have HTTPS turned on for the CRM_UI_FRAME, if I access above mentioned portion of IC Web, it just sits there and creates a hundred different HTTP logins for my ID. It blinks quick at the bottom and I see it try to execute the bsp: CRM_IC_MDB.
Funny how it tries to continue to use HTTP even through I am switching to HTTPS everywhere.
If I go back to HTTP, (turn off switch to HTTPS), the the manager dashboard works OK.
Normally, I would think problem with HTTPS/SSL setup, but all other portions of IC WEB work great using HTTPS/SSL.
I check ICM log and nothing unless I bump trace to level2. Then too much stuff. But I do see this:
[Thr 1286] Handler 2: HttpAuthHandler matches url: /sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_ic_mdb/main.do, port: 8000
[Thr 1286] Handler 3: HttpCacheHandler matches url: /sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_ic_mdb/main.do, port: 8000
[Thr 1286] Handler 4: HttpSAPR3Handler matches url: /sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_ic_mdb/main.do, port: 8000
[Thr 1286] Handler 0: HttpJ2EEHandler matches url: /sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_ic_mdb/main.do, port: 8000
I can't figure this one out......any ideas?
Thanks,
Nick

We figured out the issue. There is a transaction launcher setting specific to MDB that has a https flag.
