Forms6i on 9iAS R2 ?

Hello,
Note on Metalink says that Forms6i works only on 9iAS Rel 1.
Somebody knows if Forms6i could run on 9iAS rel 2 ?
If not, where could 9iAS rel 1 be found on OTN ?
Thanks in advance,
Francois

Francois,
no, its not supported, though technically one could get it to work through manual configuration. If there is a need to run Forms 6i in a Oracle 9i R2 environment the recommendation is to configure Oracle 9i R2 to redirect the Forms 6i request to the Forms Services in Oracle 9i R1.
I checked OTN and the sofware is not available in the Application Server download section. So my bet would be Metalink.

Forms6i Server (9iAS R1.x) loadbalancing using Oracle Web Cache

Hello,
I have read that it's possible to use Oracle Web Cache as a software load balancer between multiple Application Servers.
We are running Oracle9iAS R1.0.2.2.2a, with Forms/Reports6i servers on 2 Win2k boxes i.e our Forms6i application is deployed on two seperate boxes in two distinct locations. Users at each location, use their respective App Server url.
Since the application is the same i.e. Forms6i code/fmx is the same for both locations, I am looking into loadbalancing and failover capability that Web Cache might be able to provide.
So basically all users from both locations will point their browser to this Web Cache and the Web Cache will direct each connection to either of the two boxes. So, if either of the boxes dies, Web Cache will divert the requests to the other box.
My concern is whether Web Cache supports this for the Forms requests that it will receive from the users. We are using Servlet Deployment of Forms.
Has anyone done this or has any ideas as to whether it's going to work or not?
Thanks,
Manish

Manish,
we tested this but came across problem with Webcache that have to do with the jsession Forms uses. This is fixed for Oracle9iAS 9.0.2.x. So if you want to run Forms with Webcache in front, then please do this using the latest version of Oracle9iAS V2 Webcache. For Oracle9iAS V1 and Forms Services we recommend not to use Webcache but do the load balancing via JServ.

Forms6i and 9iAS

I would appreciate if anyone can share their experiences with running web enabled forms. We are considering developing mission critical application for 70 users in Oracle Forms, but we want to make sure this is the way to go.
If you could tell me your experience with Forms performance, CPU load, what type of network bandwith is required. Is it stable? Any other thoughts?
Thank you
Dragana Solarov

Hi,
That is really great!! We are now, in the process of migrating our earlier Forms3.0 based applications to 6i/9iAS. Thank you for giving this encouraging news, boosting our confidence. Though, we are still not that clear about the changes in the hardware configurations that our clients have to make, that Oracle paper about 6iscalability has really given more light to it. Could you please give additional suggestions..
Again, thank you..
Regards,
Ranjith..
hi there,
i am currently working in Govt Dept in sydney and we have system supporting more than 250 users which is build around 6i and 9iAS .
we had few issuses when we changed to 9iAS but mostly all sorted out now .

Oracle 9i Application contains several options

2. Oracle9iAS Infrastructure installation.

I want to know , Which option should i select in order to deploy the forms on web.

I'm not sure if you can deploy Forms6i on 9iAS. Anyway, this is not the right forum for this question. Please repost your question in the 9iAS General forum or in one of the Forms-related iDS forums.

Forms60_repformat

HI
The Default is set to forms60_repformat = PDF.
Application is deployed on web(forms6i in 9IAS).
One report needs to run in RTF.
Run_report_object with desformat=RTF is not working.
Dropping forms60_repformat from registry is restricting any report from working.
any ideas.
regards

Hi
Here is the code.
The report defaults to PDF since the value fo rforms60_repformat is set to 'PDF'
which is true for all other reports i the application.
Just want this report in RTF.
declare
     repid report_object;
     report_job_id varchar2(100);
enum number;
begin
     repid := find_report_object('myreport');
     set_report_object_property(repid, REPORT_DESFORMAT, 'RTF');
set_report_object_property(repid, REPORT_OTHER, 'P_param1='||:test.test1||' PARAMFORM=NO EMPNUM='||enum);
     report_job_id := run_report_object(repid);
end;

Help-Is 9ias a necessity even for client server deployment of forms6i

Hi
Is 9Ias a necessity even for client server deployment of forms6i using developerSuite. I have been told that Oracle no longer markets Forms Server?
Ganesh.

No for client server deployment you don't need iAS.
On the second issue Forms server (the bit of forms used to web deploy) is no longer sold stand-alone - it is part of the iAS suite.

Forms6i & 9iAs

Hi,
I am trying to deploy my forms6i/report6i on the web using oracle8.1.5, win2000 and 9iASR2 advance server.
I've been looking for the past couple of days in
manuals, documents, and through the discussion forms to see if I can get a clear detail answer (besides posting a link to otn), but without luck so far.
the manual says that is require to install 9iAS Infrastructure in order for me to deploy my forms/report
on the web?
is this true ???
I am welling to pay $100 for anyone who can guide me through this mess.
I've used J2EE and Web Cache as my installation style.
I thought I just need in addition to that froms/reports service. but when I read the manual it says that infrastructure is required.
Thanks for you help in advance.

The reports and forms are a part of 9ias in the Business Intelligence and Forms install type and yes that does require an Infrastructure setup. It really is not that difficult. We have on server setup with the infrastructure install and several other hosts setup with the j2ee/webcache install. I would be happy to send you some docs I have put together to get the install done. Just send me an e-mail at [email protected]

SuSE has a nice collection of the version
combos they found to be compatible at http://www.suse.de/en/support/oracle/
..scroll to the bottom of the page.
They seem to be working closely with ORACLE,
even supporting 9i,9iAS and OPS!
(this doesn't prevent developer's f60desm
to coredump on my SuSE 7.0 box, though :)

Forms6i running on 9ias 9.0.2.01

Hi All
Is it possible to run forms6i using Oracle9ias Relase 2. (forms created using forms6i version 6.0.8.11.3 and running using Oracle9ias 9.0.2.1 (relase 2) Application server) If possible , what are the requirements.
I have read some documents, which says about Patchset 10. But I could not find this patch set. From where i can find details about this patch set.
Thanks
Sreekumar

6i Forms can only run on the 9i Application Server release 1
9i Forms run on 9i Application Server Release 2
which means you would have to upgrade the forms. Generally speaking this will be a case of just regenerating the fmx files on the 9i Release 2 platform.

How to Deploy Forms in 9iAS

hi all,
i use Oracle Forms6i.can anybody please tell me the exact
steps of "deploying a forms6i application in Oracle 9iAS".
i mean in which folder i've to copy the .FMB file and where to
set the classpaths?
i need it urgently.please help me,i'll be greatful to u.
thanks

Well I'd glad to tell you all these but not to write'em down
because there are a lot. So the best you can do is to read (it
won't take more than an hour) the manual. You can find it in
Form Developers menu Help. Under the Help there is an item
called "Manuals...". Open it and you'll find a lot of things
about deployment. More than you , probably , need ;-)
Check this out.

Oracle 9ias forms deployment

hi,
i sent a message yesterday on the forms6i forum.
we have sucessfully installed oracle 9ias, and have also sucessfully run the forms that have been created, on the web browser.
The forms ran perfectly when it is on the same machine as oracle 9ias, but we cannot run the forms that sits on another machine.
we have tried everything that was told to do and have followed all the documentation, the forms product manager has replied to my question yesterday but all that was configured,
we were told to map the drive where the forms are sitting so that we can read it where the 9ias is based
thanks

Forms6i Developer

Is there a distribution of Forms6i for Linux that is not part of the 9iAS distribution? I am trying to load Developer on a Linux box, and don't want to load the complete 9iAS package just to get it. There is a place on OTN website that has a 654MB file for download that appears to be Forms6i for Linux, but I have not been able to get it to install successfully. Help

Yes you can install without having any problem.

Forms6i, 9i AS and OAS

Is Forms6i supported on OAS v4.0.8.2 and 9iAS?
Is Forms9i supported on OAS v4.0.8.2?
--OAS (Oracle Application Server v4.0.8.2)
--9iAS (9i Application Server)
Thanks.

Shay,
Thanks for the answer. But a quick question. We are planning to convert our Forms5.0 application to web forms. But as Oracle suggested we are planning to convert them to forms 6i first. If I want to use 9iAS release 2 I would need to convert our forms to forms 6i and then 9i forms and deploy it on 9iAS release2,right?.
I was thinking it would be a better idea for us to move to 9iAS release 2 instead of release 1. But we would have to first convert them to 6i and then 9i, is it not?
Please help
Thanks.

Forms6i Server Configuration

I have installed the 9iAS on Windows NT 4.0 Server. After installing the Forms6i Server inside this 9iAS, there is some configuration settings required. The document just say to modify the virtual path with the web listener, but there is no detail information on what section of the Apache httpd.conf to be modified. Please advise how to modify the httpd.conf for this, thanks.
Example:
Please configure the following virtual path with your web listener: /dev60html for physical directory D:\ORACLE\806\tools\web60\html.

Rohit,
I don't think that its a good idea to ask over a Database forum, commands about of an o/s. Anyways, for starting, read this manual from Sun about the basic commands and more too,
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/806-7612/othercommands-69543?a=view
In addition to this, read these articles, not for Sun but still will be helpful
