Forms Server Configuration - including host name in webformsTitle

We have total of 6 Forms Servers running using OC4J load balancing (metric based). Is there a way I can put the node identification on each form so that we can ask users include the node id for easy trouble-shooting? I think it can be done with the Forms Web Configuration file (formsweb.cfg), but not sure of the system parameter should be used. I tried putting %HOST% in webformsTitle, but it doesn't work.
Can you advise? Thanks in advance.

Since you have 6 different configurations, you could add the hostname hardcoded in the base.htm file that is used?

Forms Server configuring problem

Hi,
I've installed Oracle Forms Server 6i on Windows platform and installed Apache 2.2.
The virtuals folders are configured correctly in Apache and file permission settings are all done correctly.
All the environment variables appears to be okay in registry.
When I try to test the Forms Server using runform.htm with the provided test.fmx,
the form is not executed but the browser tries to download the file, which seems to be the renamed ifcgi60.exe file, by looking at the size of the file. (51.5kb)
I tried using both socket and HTTP mode with same port number and they behaviours the same.
Am I missing some configuration somewhere?
Does anybody had similar experience like this?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I think it is very important to mention that Forms/Reports 6i has been desupported for years. So, this probably isn't the best version to be using, both because Oracle will not offer much assistance any longer with that version and because that product version is based on old technology.
That said, here are some things to consider:
1. Apache 2.2 was never certified for use with Forms 6 and further more many issues were reported when attempts were made to use this version. Apache 1.3 is the recommended and previously supported version to be used with Forms 6.x
2. ifcgi60.exe is not a renamed version of your form (i.e. test.fmx). It is the cgi module used to generate the needed html to send to the client and eventually start the jre which starts the form. (it's a little more complicated than that, but that is the basic process). If you are getting a download option when calling the cgi module, is likely means that you have not correctly configured Apache to run it.
To the best of my knowledge, the only way to use your own web server (rather than using Oracle Application Server) was to call Forms apps using a static html file. I do not believe that there was any supported way in which you could use the Forms Servlet or CGI. It probably can be done but I don't think it was supported. To start with Apache must know where executables can be found, in other words the CGI (exe) file. Here is an example of what the directive in Apache would look like:
ScriptAlias /dev60cgi/ "C:\ORACLE\806\tools\web60\cgi/"
In the above example, you would need to ensure that the ifcgi60.exe was located in the directory shown above. In the url used to call the form (assuming you wanted to use cgi) you would include the /dev60cgi/... Of course the exact directory and virtual path name is up to you as long as you know how to correctly set everything else.
Anyway.... I can go on and on. Configuring your own web server to work with Forms is not really recommended. Using Oracle Application Server 1.0.2 was the better way to do this back when it was still supported.
If you plan on continuing down this path, I would recommend that you refer to both the Apache documentation and the Forms 6 documentation, which for now, is still available:

Tnsnames problem on RAC server for Different Host Names

Hi All,
We have RAC database setup and we are facing one issue on tnsnames.
My Hostfile has these entries:
127.0.0.1 loopback localhost
# Public Network
204.7.242.215 oradb1
204.7.242.217 oradb2
# Management network
174.19.1.151 oradb1_mgt
174.19.1.154 oradb2_mgt
# Rac VIP
204.7.242.216 oradb1-vip1
204.7.242.218 oradb2-vip2
# Rac HeartBeat
10.10.10.1 oradb1-priv1
10.10.10.2 oradb2-priv2
Where oradb1_mgt pointing to same host as oradb1 and oradb2_mgt>oradb2
Due to management issue, we need to use oradb1_mgt in place of oradb1 or oradb1-vip1 for standby database. So I've configured my Listener.ora as
LISTENER_ORADB1 =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = oradb1-vip1)(PORT = 1521)(IP = FIRST))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = oradb1)(PORT = 1521)(IP = FIRST))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = oradb1_mgt)(PORT = 1521)(IP = FIRST))
and Tnsnames.ora as
prd =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = oradb1_mgt)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = aixdb)
(INSTANCE_NAME = aixdb1)
But tnsping prd is giving error:
TNS Ping Utility for IBM/AIX RISC System/6000: Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production on 07-JUN-2007 14:28:18
Copyright (c) 1997, 2006, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Used parameter files:
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
TNS-03505: Failed to resolve name
What may be the solution for this. Its look like that, HOST = oradb1_mgt is creating problem as if I'm putting HOST = oradb1 or OST = oradb1-vip1, then its working.

I have signed applets but not with jmf. Your best bet is to put the applet in a jar and sign the jar. Most java runtimes with a self signed applet will prompt the user and ask the user if they want to grant permission. You probably have to use the java html converter to code your html to force the use of suns plugin. I am not sure if you have to sign the jmf jars or they may already be signed.

Getting web host name, web-port, oral-report server name and virtual path

Hi.
I have been using oralce forms 6i on oracle application server 10g. I have three servers installed on remote locations.I just want that when i am hosting an application on a server, the web host name, web port , oracle report server name and the path of directory should be selected in a dynaminc variable at application level at run time. In this manner, I will be able to make a single application for all three servers. Any other solution to this problem is also welcomed. Please help anyone and oblige me.

Host Name Configuration for Ironport

Hi,
I want to configure one host name with two ipaddress.
Which record we can create???
If both the IP's in Domain, we can achieve this???
Thanks in advance
Regards, Hari Prasad.D

Hi Hari,
If we creat CNAME record, we can map multiple FQDNs to single IP address.
If we want to map multiple IP addresses to single FQDN, just create two A records with same name, then point them to different IP addresses.
Best Regards.

Host name problem

Hi,
whenever I excute the web application ,it is not showing the result.I found that there is a problem in configuring of host name by using the function module "RSBB_URL_PREFIX_GET".The value for E_URL_SERVER is in the format ls3022 rather than ls3022.wdf.sap-ag.de.
So it has the only host name but not the domain (including the extension).How can i change this value to complete host name(including the domain).
With rgds,
Anil

Hi Deepu,
Thank you for your help.
Could u clarify my silly doubt. If we are running the BW server on Unix,Is there any domain in this case.
With rgds,

Host name is invalid

I have gone through the setup of my newly installed lion server software. I setup a server.example.private host name and have turned on file sharing, and VPN. I bought the server software so I can access my host computer from my IPad and a windows based laptop. When I attempt to setup the profile manager I get to the screen in the directory admin setup that asks for the host name and password, etc. The name and host name are already populated with a generic names and the password fields are blank. Whether I leave the generic fields blank and try and enter a new password or change the generic fields and password to something new I get the same error message every time. It says "Computers host name is invalid. The host name does not resolve to any configured address on this comp. Please ensure the host name is correct. How do I find out what the correct host name is for my computer? Thanks in advance.

First the difference in names. .local is the bonjour address. Your .private is a DNS address. While .local can be used for both, it is highly discouraged.
So in Server Admin > DNS, you want to be on the Zones tab. In here you will want to do the following:
Prep: Let's assume you want to define your system as host name server, domain name myfamily.private. So the fully qualified name is server.myfamily.private. Change the examples below to match your needs.
1: Click on Add Zone and select Add Primary Zone (Master)
2: In the Primary Zone name, enter myfamily.private
3: In the Nameservers box click the + button.
4: An entry will appear. The zone colume should read myfamily.private and the Nameserver Hostname will likely grab your Bonjour name and enter <bonjour_name>.myfamily.private. (Please not many items in DNS end in . This is really important do not remove them. If you need to, override the <bonjour_name> and enter server in its place. This way, the Nameserver Hostname colume should say server.myfamily.private.
5: You can Save at this point if you want
6: Now, click on the Add Record button and choose Add Machine (A)
7: When the panel appears enter the following:
         Machine name: server.myfamily.private.
          IP Address: enter your fixed IP address of the server - this can be found in System Prefs > Network and should be the IP address assigned to the Ethernet port. For illustration, lets assume it is 10.0.0.10
8: Click save
9: If you are paying attention, you will note that a second zone file was created automatically for the reverse zone, It will have a name of 0.0.10.in-addr.arpa. This is the reverse zone file and contains number to name mapping (where the primary zone is name to number).
Now you have two valid zone files. Check your work by doing the following:
1: Open Terminal
2: Enter this command:
     nslookup server.myfamily.private 10.0.0.10
3: The result should be 10.0.0.10.
4: Now test again with nslookup 10.0.0.10 10.0.0.10
5: This tests the DNS running on the machine to return the proper results to you.
Now, that it is working, go back into System Preferences > Network and make sure the first DNS server address is the address of your server. This way you will talk to your system first for name resolution. But since your systems is SOA for myfamily.private only, nearly all requests will be past to the public DNS servers provided by your ISP.
If you are good to this point, then go back into Server Admin > DNS and remove all those other zone files.
Ok, if you got this far, then reboot the server.
After the reboot, repeat those nslookup commands and make sure you are still resolving as expected.
Now, to check if there is any lingering damage. Since it sounds like you have not configured any/many services, this is a good thing. So enter this command in Terminal and tell me the results:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
Now, you will need to clean up after your server.

Virtual host name?

Can i know how to configure virtual host name for a server before install Oracle Cluster? Thanks...

Problem with host name

Have just checked my -checkhostname in terminal and am different results for the server and DNS host name - I assume that I need them to match for open directory to work correctly? If so how do I rectify them?

If this is related to not having a gateway (over in [your other thread|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13049450]), get a gateway.
This is one of the reasons why you want a gateway.
There are other (and nastier) reasons.

How to Get Host Name Domain Name : Port No. for App Server From Forms

Forms 10g r2
I am looking to run various forms and reports from within a form. I am using web_show_document. I am passing the URL which includes "http://{host name . domain name : port number}/forms/frmservlet?config=schema1_schema2 form=ab0001 p_param1=151 p_param2=1409 p_x=X". My schema1_schema2 config section in formsweb.cfg contains user name, password, connection information.
All works well when the actual host_name.domain_name:port_no are hard-coded within a string that is used for the URL with web_show_document, but I need to be able to distribute the form without hard-coding the host_name, domain_name, and port_no.
I have looked in forms help for application properties, system variables, and within this forum for the built-in or system variable that returns this information, but have not found it.
Can someone please tell me how I can get this information (host_name, domain_name, and port_number for the application server on which the form is currently running) so that I can build this working URL dynamically?
I appologize if I have overlooked it within this forum.
Thanks greatly,
James

Thanks, Rosario.
As it turns out, I don't need the IAS Host_Name, Domain_name, and Port_No. Instead, I can do what I described by stripping off precisely THAT information leaving a URL that looks like:
v_url := "/forms/frmservlet?config=schema1_schema2 form=ab0001 p_param1=151 p_param2=1409 p_x=X";
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(v_url,'_blank');
The original IAS Host_Name, Domain_Name, and Port_No. are assumed and the named config -- schema1_schema2 is still properly referenced so as to use the username/password and connect string to the 2nd schema. This is done by use of the relative path.

Domain name/"primary DNS" name/mail host name/mail server name/mx name

Hi,
I have registered my domain name (N.com) with an external dns server and created an MX record (mail.N.com) for it as well. My server sits behind a router and internet traffic is port(80)-forwarded to my server's fixed internal ip address (I can access my webpages from the internet just fine). When I initially setup the server I was asked to give it a "primary DNS name." I naturally assumed that N.com was supposed to be entered here, but that just caused all kinds of problems (though I still do not understand why). So I reinstalled and currently have server.N.com as the primary DNS name of the server (although it shows up in Server Admin and Workgroup Manager as server.local--why is that?)
I have had no luck getting any email from the internet with the default settings in mail services (domain name of N.com and host name of server.N.com). Having no luck with the defaults, I assumed that maybe I needed to change the host name to "mail.N.com" so that it matched the MX record. I also changed the user preferences in Workgroup Manager to receive mail from mail.N.com--but still no luck. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong and how come none of the Mail Service literature mentions anything about what a mail "host name" is supposed to be? Is it supposed to be the same as the "Mail Server" name that Workgroup Manager asks each user for? and is it the same as the MX record name?
I am just needing some help to connect all these variously named, but undefined, dots.
Also, how come I can access webmail from the internet using www.N.com/webmail but can't do it from any computers within my physical network (I have to use IPaddress/webmail or server.local/webmail)?
Also, should my user email addresses be [email protected] or [email protected] (which is the current default)?
Thanks in advance and good luck!

I had been told by a friend that ... regular email coming in from the internet would go through port 80
Unfortunately you were misinformed.
My MX record needs the extra subname (such as "mail") in front of the domain name, right?
Not at all. A MX record for 'N.com' is entirely valid (expected, in fact).
An MX record tells remote mail servers where to send mail for any domain/subdomain. If you think about it, let's say you worked for Apple and you wanted people to be able to send email to [email protected], well then you need an MX record for 'apple.com'.
You can see if you dig MX apple.com that they actually have 9 MX records, but the point still stands.
Now, you might also have MX records for subdomains so that you can have [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. Each of these subdomains would need a separate MX record.
So, in general, for any set of email addresses @[anything.]domain.com you have a MX record telling remote mail servers where to send that mail.
Of course the MX record name is mail.N.com, but I think you are implying that the in the Mail settings of Server Admin where it asks for domain name all I need to put there is the N.com, right?
What I mean is that you need to set the domain name to whatever domain name you expect to receive mail at.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected], then you enter 'N.com'.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected] then you enter 'mail.N.com'.
If you want both forms, enter one in the main domain and add the other(s) in the Advanced -> Hosting -> Local Host Aliases section.
Is there anything in the Mail settings that needs to have the full MX record name (mail.N.com)?
Yes. Either the 'domain name' or the 'Local Host Aliases' needs to contain the same thing as your MX record. That's because the MX record tells remote servers to send mail to this machine, but the machine won't accept the mail unless it is configured to do so.
What is the "host name" supposed to be?
This should be the name that remote servers see when this machine tries to send outgoing mail.
Ideally this should match the reverse DNS of your IP address, that way when it connects to a remote server it says "Hi, I'm $hostname" and the remote server can lookup the machine's IP address and see the same result. This will reduce the problem of remote servers thinking you're sending them spam.
If you only have a single IP address then this probably needs to be something like 'N.com'. If you don't have control over your reverse DNS then you're going to run into a problem.
Also in the user accounts (in Workgroup Manager) what should the "mail server name" be? Is it the host name or the domain name?
Off hand, I don't know.
Also, why are all the default user email addresses [email protected] (the name I gave the server at setup)? Why doesn't the user accounts create [email protected] as the default address?
Presumably because the mail server says it is 'server.N.com' and therefore any accounts on that machine would be [email protected]. Changing the domain name (as above) should fix that.

Configure Mail to use host name

Hi,
I'm trying to configure Mail on a Mac Mini Server. My problem is that I can't get the from email address to show correctly. The host name is demo.company.com, however email arrives with appleserver2.local (domain name). I've setup two accounts - administrator and user. When I send email from administrator to user it shows as coming form [email protected] - what I want it to show is [email protected]?
I found an article (http://serverfault.com/questions/55342/change-email-domain-os-x-server) which seemed to ask the same question. The accepted answer made some changes to the main.cf file:
myorigin = $mydomain
mydestination = $myhostname localhost.$mydomain localhost $mydomain
After I made the changes I restarted the Mail service, but it didn't solve my problem. I even rebooted the server but no change.
Also, am I correct in thinking that a user's email address is configured using the Workgroup Manager under the Info tab?

I cannot recommend this, as I am not sure all the intergrations with other apps and databases would work properly, but see:
http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=108443
Are you sure this is worth it? My Mail folder is a long term archive, and I don't delete many messages. Yet it is less than 20 GB. Sounds like other apps and databases will overtake your space savings quickly.

What's the reason for this message, "A server with the specified host name could not be found" ? I'm using iPhone 4s, 16gB, iOS 7.0.4

I get a pop-up message saying "A server with the specified host name could not be found", whenever I try to access any streaming websites/apps or even WhatApp over Wi-Fi and I cannot access the specific THING for that moment, and I've tried switching Wi-Fi On and Off both in my Phone and also in the Router. I got an internet connection and a Wi-Fi router just before two days, and it's happening since. I got the internet speed around 80kbps and i can easily stream YouTube videos except sometimes, I receive that annoying message. I can't even browse the internet in Safari, which says "No Internet Connection"(Even though the Wi-Fi is connected), and I can access it after somewhile (say 10 minutes, it'll be perfectly alright). I use iPhone 4s. And everything about the internet connection is totally fine in my Computer, but not in my iPhone, as I've explained the issues, above. If there are any technical settings that I should change/modify, either on my computer(Windows 7 OS) or in my iPhone(iOS 7.0.4), PLEASE let me know
I hope I've provided enough information for the reader to understand my point. (I apologize for my verbal mistakes, if there are )
THANKS

Hello Paneesh,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your iPhone 4s. I recommend the following steps:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If the issue is still unresolved Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
