Forms runtime user doco

Friends,
I'm developing a simple DBMS windowing solution for my customer. The system will use forms runtime environment (menu module is DEFAULT&SMARTBAR) without customization.
I'd like to find some clear, concise user documentation I could touch up and distribute to the would be users. The material I've found on Oracle's sites -- thus far -- are a little too technical.
Thanks in advance .. user doco uuuggghhh!?

Hi
I think that the problem is about oracle forms.
it's about the case of password letters as Andreas Weiden said.
the problem - as I think - is that Oracle forms builder implicitly sends the connection (username,passwors and net service) to oracle forms runtime in upper case (capital letters) and your password contains small letters while the password is -by default - case sesitive in oracle database 11g
the solution - as I think- may be one of the following:
*you can retype the pasword every time you run the form.
*or you can change the password to capital letters.
I wish that could help you

Form Runtime

Hi,
What is the best way to connect to the database schema automatively when the form is in run time.
Example:
When you close the form builder or run the form in form runtime, it always prompts you for the database schema. What is the best way to solve this problem, because my form will deploy into the web server, I don't want the user to enter the database schema. Please advise.
Thank you very much
Tim

With Forms 5.0 I use the following shortcut in Windows:
D:\ORANT\BIN\F50RUN32.EXE g:\centrala\tlogin_noi_cen USERID=login/login@apollo usesdi=yes
Still, beware!
This way you give the luser the username & password. Yet, for this application, there is a trick so that I don't reveal the username & password of the owner of the application object schema (the login user is a dumb user that can only execute some stored procs that do logon to the application schema if they are given the right params for username & password). Back scenes I use the logon & logout built-ins.
Hope this helps,

HST6i, Client/Server env. Forms runtime crash!

We successfuly instaled HSD6i on Forms Server. But we also need to run forms on client/server environment.
When I start HSU or generated app. in Forms Runtime (ver 6.0.8.11.3) and do nothing other than navigate from menu to form 'Users' for example, form opens but the very
next time whole runtime environment dissaper (crash with no error message).
How can I manage this problem?
null

I changed all 'automatic' to <unspecified> but my forms are still crashing with access violation at uiw60.dll. It seems that only forms with item groups though. I also found another posting here by Ivica Coric about "Problem with Item Groups" where people mentioned forms with item groups would crash. It seems that this is my problem. But changing 'automatic' to something else still doesn't solve my problem. Any ideas? Thanks.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Headstart Team:
Uros,
I have discovered what makes this happen. As you have read in the the install guide, you need to change a number of properties in the object library. Specifically, the color "Automatic", which is very useful in webforms, is problematic on client/server.
Because most items in the generated forms subclass from the object library, you would ideally only need to recreate the fmx files and be rid of the "Automatics".
Unfortunately, there's one place where the generator uses the object library properties, but DOES NOT SUBCLASS BUT COPIES these properties into the generated forms. This happens with boilerplate graphics that result from item group decorations, and then only when the item group decoration has a prompt! Here the color of the CG$TITLE visual attribute is used, but not subclassed. This also explains why you solved it by regenerating the problematic forms.
To solve this for the applications you cannot regenerate, open the fmbs, navigate to the Canvas, and then to the Graphics. You'll find the culprit there soon enough.
Kind regards,

Forms runtime as cartridge?

In a document from July 1997 from Oracle called "Developer/2000
and the NCA: An Architectural Overview", authors Mark Doran et
al, the future direction of the Forms Runtime was stated to be:
In a release after 2.0, the Forms Runtime will be implemented
as a cartridge. The Web Application Server will invoke a
Forms cartrige directly to run a Forms application, elim-
inating the ned for a separate Listener process and Runtime
processes. In this configuration, the Forms cartridge will
be able to exploit all of the functionality of the Web
Application Server, including Inter-Cartridge Exchange
(ICX) and dynamic load balancing.
Initially, each instance of the Cartridge will handle a single
connected user, just as the Forms Runtime does today, but
in later versions a single cartridge will be able to serve
multiple simultaneous users for even greater scalability.
I have two questions:
a) is this still the intended direction of the Forms Runtime?
(I couldn't find this repeated in later documents)
b) if so, which release will/does have this feature?
I have scoured all the promotional documentation for OAS 4.0
and Developer 6.0 looking for an answer, but could not find
any.
The reasons I care are that 1) our client will continue to grow,
and the scalability improvement is interesting, and 2) if
you can use Inter-Cartridge Exchange to (I think) access
real CORBA objects which live in a custom-built application
cartridge that lives in OAS 4.0. From Forms, you have to
use Forms-specific syntax to access functions, and you
can't access objects directly.
null

I agree.
I've tested my application using Dev2.1 to find out that each
user was going to take up around 10M.
We have a user base of about 300, but usually theres only about
80 users on during our busiest time. 80Users * 10M = 800M.
Thats not even counting the memeory needed for the reports
server.
But to be fair OAS load balancing did cut down on apps which
were inactive.
But this still leaves me with the prospect of at least a 512M
apps server. Which might be incredibly slow during peak times.
So I started looking towards the OAS4.0 release which had this
promised shared cartridge architecture. But it looks as if we
are going to have to upgrade to Dev6.0 to use this cartridge
architecture.
What happened to Dev2.1?
I received the Dev6.0 beta CD, and was imressed by OAS4.0.
Should we just skip the Dev2.1 / OAS3.0 or are there going to be
further releases of Dev2.x supporting OAS4.0?

Forms runtime info. - URGENT-

I have an application developed in Forms 6. I have the following questions.
1. Should the end user purchase forms 6 to run the application?
2. If no, can he get forms runtime along with Oracle 9i, which can run the application?
3. Is Forms 6 runtime alone available to be purchased?
Please help me out at the earliest.
Thanks
Raghu

If we are talking about a client server application then the Forms runtime is for free and you don't need to buy it for the customer. The latest patches will make your forms work with an Oracle9i database. There is no separate packaging of the runtime, you can install just the runtime if you choose the custom install option from the CD that includes Forms.

Hi,
Try to clean up your browser's cache (msie: tools > options > ...) and oracle jinitiator's jcache directory (c:\proghram files\oracle\jinit ... ). Close your browser and try again.

Forms runtime window fails to open successfully

Hi all, I have a user who cannot seem to get her Forms window to open correctly. She logs into Oracle. Selects the responsibility, selects the form she needs to open.
The middle window opens and the Forms Runtime window opens. However this Forms window never pppulates. It remains a blank screen.
I have cleared her jar cache and cookies and re-installed JInitiator too.
Nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi,
What is the application release?
Do you have any pop-up blocker installed on this machine? If yes, disable all and check then.
Can you find any errors in Jinitiator Console Window? Any error in Apache log files (error_log and access_log)?
What if the same user from some other machine, is she able to open the form?
If none of the above helps, enable trace and see if you get more details about the issue.

Forms Runtime Hangs

We have recently upgrades some of our client workstations to Forms&Reports 6i and are having a problem on a few of the client workstations since the upgrade. When the user runs our client application the Forms Runtime window pops up and just hangs, then the workstation locks up and we have to force a reboot, can not even kill using task manager. Even after the reboot the same problem occurs and I have to reinstall patch 12 to fix but this fix is only temporary as the problem again comes back after a while. To give a brief back ground the clients are running NT4 Wrkstn SP6a, Oracle Forms & Reports Runtime 6i patch 12, connecting to a 9i DB. Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I'm sorry, should have been more specific. We are running client\server not web. Before the upgrade we were running Forms&Reports 4.5 and everything was stable. The funny thing is that we have upgraded 50 client workstations and only (2) are experiencing this problem. I have tried completely removing the Oracle software and reinstalling on both workstations but this has not helped.

Forms Runtime Diagnostics

The Forms Runtime Diagnostics(FRD) can I make this call in FORM or do I need to make the call from the command line on the application server.
Is this the correct call f60runm module=foo userid=scott/tiger@hockey record=collect
Can I make the module equal to the form's name.
How do I set the userid equal to a generic call for the user that is logging into the form.

Hi,
runtime diagnostics must be started when starting the runtime. There is no way for you to start it after.

How to get the Form runtim diagnostics log file

Hi,
I followed the instruction of Metalink Notes:
R12: Forms Runtime Diagnostics (FRD), Tracing And Logging For Forms In Oracle Applications http://ID 438652.1
Option 1: Obtain FRD Trace Using Profile Options
Method 1: Using profile option 'ICX: Forms Launcher'
I was not able to get the log file.
Any suggestions

Yes, I follow the instruction, set profile at user level, and bounce Apache.
When I log in to application, I do see a message that the low level trace is enabled.
the directory is:

Forms runtime just hangs on startup

When I try to run any form, a blank "Oracle Developer Forms Runtime" window comes up and then nothing else happens. The same thing happens consistently if I try to run from a server with JInitiator 1.3.1.13 (or apparently any server) or with local OC4J instance using JInitiator 1.3.1.9. Other users can run the same forms from the same server(s). The problem started suddenly with no system updates that I know of between working and not working states. OS and browser: XP And Explorer with SP2 (but Forms behaves the same way if I try Netscape 7). Any Ideas...?
Sample Java Console output:

What happens if you run
http://<server name removed>:7777/forms90/f90servlet
Does the test form show?It behaves in exactly the same way: no form shown and Java Console doesn't show anything past that "Forms Applet version". I know that I haven't changed anything in my local Forms Developer/OC4J environment since it was working. I tried removing JInitiator(s) and having them reinstall automatically by trying to run a form and the download and installation worked flawlessly but it didn't help with the problem. I suspect that something in my Windows system is blocking JInitiator but what could it be?

Hi
Since you are using Forms6I - just presss F1 - and search for Set_Windows_Property - example - this will take to a proper note
