Global Deployment of Forms Service

Hi All,
I'm trying to get my forms to support muliple langs. Now i edited the formsweb.cfg as
[en-us]
envFile=en-us.env
[ja]
envFile=ja.env
i.e., having two environment files. i have mentioned the different paths to those files
When i 'm requesting from a browser mentioning
the %URL%?config=en-us. its not loading that form and the browser displays a blank page and give the message done.
when i give ja, its loading the form. that is it loads always the last env file i specified
Can anyone fix the problem or is there any other configuration i got to do.
plzz help me frens.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
please read the section about browser language detection in the Forms Services Deployment Guide, which is part of OracleAs. The feature is used as follows
[myApp]
[myApp_en-us]
[myApp_fr]
The way you use it it is not looking for languages at all but only the name of the application section

Diff in IAS 9i Form Service Version and Developer 6i Rel 2. Version

Dear all,
I have noticed that Form Server version which comes with the Oracle 9i Application Server (Forms Service Module) is higher than then Oracle Developer 6i Tool Rel. 2 Form Complier version.
It Creates a problem, Form which is complied in Developer 6i Rel 2. gives blazzing result when it deployed it on Oracle 9i Form Server because of the version diff.
Oracle 9i Form Server Version is always higher than Forms Compiler comes with the latest Developer 6i Rel. 2.
Because of this reason we cannot install Developer 6i Rel. 2 and
Oracle 9i Application Server with Form Service on the same machine.
How to solve this.
Best Regards,
Darshan Desai

If you look in metalink, you can get patches for Forms 6i to patch it up to higher levels than rel 2. Any patch from 4 through to 9 will be newer. Choose which patch you want to bring yourself in line with 9iAS. The patch documentation tells you what version it will bring the forms up to.
Each patch superceeds the last so just pick one and apply it.

How to deply icons on forms services 10g (10.1.2)

Hi.
I've been trying to do a couple of "simple" things on forms services and have not yet succeded:
- Deploy Icons on the web.
- Specify an alternate path for fmx,pll and mmx files.
The installation is Application Server Forms and Reports Sevices.
According to Forms Services Deployment Guide (section 4.9.2.1), to enable custom icons in an archive file (jar) the steps are the following:
- Create an archive (jar) file of all icons files.
- Place the archive in forms/java directory.
- Modify the archive_jini to add the reference to the newly jar file. I've done these in both default section and custom section of formsweb.cfg.
- Modify imageBase to codebase in formsweb.cfg.
I can even "see" the archive file from the browser:
http://churum:7777/forms/java/art_icons.jar
Also, for finding forms files I modify the default.env file and added the desired directory:
forms_path = /home/oracle/OraHome_2/forms;/home/appls
HELP please. These two thing are supposed to be easy aren't they?.
Thanks in advance ...!

Perhaps the browser cache was refreshed or dumped. You can see this behavior (Forms not picking up changes made in the config files) by experimenting with the background color (set in formsweb.cfg). Make a change, load a page, new is there sometimes, sometimes not. When not, doing a refresh on the page (force a new/clean read) results in the new color being applied.

Can I use Oracle Forms Services 11g with Database 9.2.0.8.0?

Hi everyone.
My department is evaluating development tools in order to build new web applications, and also possibly to migrate current applications buit with Oracle Forms 6.0.5.34.0. Our database is Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit.
We have read that the newest Oracle Forms version is Oracle Forms Services 11g. Is Oracle Forms Services 11g compatible with Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit? or would we have to migrate our RDBMS to Oracle 11g?
If our database is compatible, what would we need to develop and deploy applications with Oracle Forms Services 11g?
Many thanks in advance.

Wheter it's compatible or not: Database 9.2.0.8 is in sustaining support which means you won't get patches for it. So even if it is compatible I'd opt to upgrade to a newer version, as I wouldn't feel comfortable having a not-supported product out in production.
Have a look at the certification matrix for supported configurations
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/fmw-11gr1certmatrix.xls
As for the requirements; most things can be found on the forms homepage on OTN:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/
or at the documentation:

Forms Service - Function Key Mapping

hi folks,
i have installed oracle 9i app server rel2 on oracle8i database, using which i have deployed my application (which was developed on developer2000) with the help of forms services - provided by oracle 9ias. now, my application is running on browser. but, when i run my appliation on browser the function keys mapping like
F7-enter query, F8-execute query was supercided by browser functional key mapping, which means i can use only the menu, i cannot use the functional keys to retrive and save data.
is there any method or setup thro which i can bring the d2k funtional key mapping on browser.
thanks in advance !

Configure Forms Service on 10G and test a form

Hello,
I have installed a standalone 10G APP SERVER.
How can I configure a Form Service on this?
How can I test a Form running on the 10G APP Server.?
Any pointers as to how to configure a Forms Service thru
the Application Service control menu (http://localhost:1810)
and then trying a form ?

Mona,
You were suppose to check the document Oracle Application Server Forms Services - Deployment Guide as suggested in Deploying an Oracle Form on 10G AS.
Please do! All your answers are in that document.

Deploying a web services on Oracle Application Server

Hi,
it is possible to deploy a web services generated by axis on Oracle Application server ? and if it is how ?
Thanks,

Thx for the reply.
I have all specfic Libraries in my ear file, but i don't get the problem solved.

Deploy 9i Forms without Application Server ?

I wonder, whether I could deploy a Forms 9i Application without the use of the Application Server. Can anybody tell me, whether it is necessary to purchase any Oracle 9i Application Server licences, just because I want to deploy a simple Forms 9i application ?
- Markus

I am developing forms 9i and reports 9i applications WITHOUT APPLICATION SERVER. I HAVE ONLY DEVELOPER SUITE 9i.
I have installed Dev suite 9i on middle tier. Forms services and Reports services are installed with Dev suite 9i.
I develop applications on my desktop and Install them on client machines where no Dev suite or AS installed.
Please mention what is the trouble you are having and I might serve you, if you are having the same problem that I HAD.

Embedding Fonts with Forms Service RenderPDFForm

We have several custom fonts being used in PDFs we're rendering using the Forms Service RenderPDFForm API. Rather than require consumers of these PDFs to have those fonts installed, we'd like to embed them in the PDFs being generated. Is it possible to embed fonts using RenderPDFForm?
Tom

In the adobe/LiveCycle8.2/deploy folder there is a file called:
adobe-forms-ivs-jboss.ear
Deploy that file on your app server (note that the name may change to reflect your app server). Once it is deployed you can access the application (it is a testing program for Forms). The URL is:
http://machinename:port/FormsIVS
Once it is loaded click on the preferences in the top right corner. Scroll to the bottom and add the administrator/password for your installation. In the first field (called Options) changed the parameter PADebug=0 to PADebug=1. Don't forget to hit the save button at the bottom of the screen. This will return you to the Test Form Design screen. Choose a form from the right List (I chose PurchaseOrder_Dynamic Interactive.xdp). In the Output format dropdown, choose PDFForm. Now click on the Use EJB button. A call to form server will be generated and returned to the screen. Because we have PADebug set to true the whole process is being traced. I am running a JBoss server so the files are written to:
C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8.2\jboss\server\all\svcdata\FormServer\Debug
It will be a different location depending on the appserver type you are running. In that folder is a file called:
debug_xci_pdf.xml
Make a copy of this file and rename it to MyTest.xci. This is the control file we will pass into the call and also modify to embed fonts. Open this file with an XML editor. In the xci file look for the pdf node under the present tag. In that node there is a child node called fontInfo. There is an embed tag in there that is set to 0. Change it to a 1 and save the file. Now in the call to Forms you can pass in a URI to this file in the XCI URI parameter. You can change this in the FormsIVS application in the options string and try it for yourself before changing our app. So now each time you want to embed the fonts pass the XCI URI into the call otherwise use the default one that is embedded in the jar file.
Let me know that it worked for you.

Can PJC ORACLE9IAS FORMS Services - FILEUPLOAD Java Bean run on UNIX?

I got the File Upload Utility sample code from //otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/forms/content.html
The File Upload demo consists of the following files:-
1. fileuploader90.fmb
2. fileupload90.pll
3. FileUploader.java, FileUploaderProgrressBar.java ==> By using Oracle 9i JDeveloper(version 9.0.2.822 and java version 1.3.1), I had compiled and deployed and jarred java classes for the client side bean. Finally, I get uploadclient.jar.
4. FormsDecoder.java, FormsDecoderException.java ==> By using Oracle 9i JDeveloper(version 9.0.2.822 and java version 1.3.1), I had compiled and deployed and jarred java classes for the server side bean. Finally, I get uploadserver.jar.
And I had done accordingly to the steps.
I had added an entry in the formsweb.cfg file to call the FileUpload demo as following:-
[FileUpload]
pageTitle=Oracle9iAS Forms Services - FileUpload Demo
archive_jini=f90all.jar,uploadclient.jar
archive_ie=f90all.jar,uploadclient.jar
archive=f90all.jar,uploadclient.jar
form=fileuploader90.fmx
width=675
height=480
separateFrame=false
splashScreen=no
lookAndFeel=oracle
colorScheme=blue
background=/forms90demo_images/blue.gif
logo=/forms90demo_images/Forms9i.gif
envFile=fileupload.env
And this environment file, fileupload.env, code is as following:-
#fileupload.env
#Environment file used to setup the FileUpload Demo
ORACLE_HOME=/export/home2/9ids/OraHome1
PATH=/export/home2/9ids/OraHome1/bin/classic:/export/home2/9ids/OraHome1/bin
CLASSPATH=/export/home2/9ids/OraHome1/forms90/java/uploadserver.jar:/export/home2/9ids/OraHome1/jdk/jre/lib/rt.jar
FORMS90_PATH=/export/home2/9ids/OraHome1/forms90/demos/lib:/export/home2/9ids/OraHome1/forms90/demos/fileupload/forms
Then by using Oracle Forms 9.0(version 9.0.2.7.0) attach the FileUpload.pll library and compiled and run the forms.Click on the select button.and NO REPLY.NO ERROR NUMBER.No Progress Bar. Nothing...
Then I exit the form and add the config=FileUpload& into the web browser. Then I get the forms. Click on the select button and also NO RESPOND,NO ERROR,No Progress Bar. The File Upload Utility is not working.
Can anyone help me on this issue? Urgent...
Thank you so much.
Best Regards,
Wong

Hello Duncan,
Are you one of the authors for the File Upload Utility? I am very happy to talk with you. How can we solve this BIG BUG 2550330? And make it run on UNIX platforms.

ORACLE FORMS and Forms Services :) - DBA needs assistance

Hey all
Ok - never used oracle forms apart from setting up services (out of the box).
I am now about to start supporting Oracle Forms in an 1i E-Business Environment and want to understnd how it all hangs together (ports, URL mappings, Web Interfaces with Apache, deployment, monitoring/configuration)
I am reading
http://download-west.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/forms/forms/A73071_01.pdf
which explains all about the various base.htm files as well as the architecture - but I need a better understanding of the internls of the 'forms service' and how it sits together with Apache to allow forms content to be delivered.
Anyone got some basics for me or a URL ???
Also
Anyone can show me how to display the test.fmx form through Forms 6i delivered with EBIS 11i ??
thanks

Hi Grant
Thanks for update.
Have read most of the concepts/arhictecture doco.
The seconds doco - on pages 32/33 I understand ...................except
1) I am running Forms 6i (Part of 11i Ebis Technology Stack) not Forms9i
2) I get how this can be configured to run One Form - but how does the application such as EBIS handle the request passing the user session between forms - is just as simple as an "on event" .."do x" type scenario ?? eg When user clicks this link go to URL(b) ??
Basically could you explain 1+2 as well as tell me the steps required to deploy the test.fmx form file through the 6i Forms Service running as part of the EBIS suite installion ???
I am trying to get a full end-to-end picture of the process and configurtion files involved.
cheers

Forms 11g deployment - each form app requires a config section?

Hi,
I am deployng forms 11g to WLS 10.3.2 and I have a question whether or not I have to create configuration section in the Web Configuration page of the Fusion Middleware Control
Farm_Domain -> Forms -> Web Configuration
for EACH form app that I need to run?
I am looking at the Forms Services deployment Guide 11g (E10240-02) and it looks like I have to following the chapter 3.3.1 Deploying your application.
In which case I will end up with quite a few configuration sections.
Am I missing something here?
Thank you
Anatoliy

The answer to your question probably depends on how you define the term "app". Generally speaking, you don't need to make any configuration changes unless you feel the need for custom settings either in the environment or with the applet parameters. If you just want to change the form (app) you are running, simply change the value of "form" in the URL. For example:
http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?form=myPOS
http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?form=Inventory
http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?form=Payroll
...where in the above, myPOS is myPOS.fmx, Inventory is Inventory.fmx, and Payroll is Payroll.fmx
For the most part, assuming you did not want to store these files in the same directory, the only changed needed for this example would be to update the value of FORMS_PATH which is an environment variable. It can be updated in FMC in the same place which you already noted except instead of Web Config, it would be an Environment change.
If the environment setting need to be different for these forms (applications), then yes, you will need to create custom config sections for each so you can define whatever customizations you desire. As for applet parameters (most of the ones found in formsweb.cfg), you can add these directly to the URL. For example:
http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?form=myPOS&separateFrame=true&colorScheme=swan

Clustering OAS with the Forms Service

Hi
I am starting a port from Forms 6i to 10g, which of course means web deployment.
I have loaded up 10g (10.1.2.0.2), which has meant also loading the infrastructure server. I now have some test forms deployed, which work fine.
Now I need to setup a high availablity environmet. Given my user base, we will need 5 servers to support the user community. I know I cannot run stateful sessions, so my cluster will just be servicing forms on a round robin basis.
What steps do I need to make to cluster both the Infrastructure server and the forms service? Is there documentation explainin how this is done as I cannot find anything so far!
Also, if I use Web Cache for load balancing, is it possible to make this resiliant? I am looking at hardware balancers, are there any recommended?
Any advice gladly received!
Cheers
Pete

You need to set up your HTTP Apache web server for a virtualhost by adding a <VirtualHost> directive in to the httpd.conf configuration file located in <path>/iAS/Apache/Apache/conf directory.
This will allow you to setup Apache to translate
http://myapp.host.com
in to the correct URL.
Read up on Virtualhosts at: http://www.apache.org/docs/vhosts/
or read Metalink document 70647.1
