Has anybody configured Forms/Reports as cluster in 11g patch3?

Situation:
Three OEL machines (r5u5 32 bit).
Versions: WLS 10.3.3, Forms/reports 11.1.1.2 with patchset 11.1.1.3.
On the first machine I successfully installed the admin server and the first instances of the forms and reports managed servers.
On the second machine I successfully expanded the cluster from the first machine. All managed servers can be brought up and are working
Problem:
When installing the third machine, the same way as I did the second machine, the config process, remains in the state "in progress" on the step "starting managed server WLS_FORMS2" and several retries to start the managed server ... fail, ending in a failure of the installation.
Tests so far:
Hostname is underscoreless ... yes ;-)
The http and webcache are installed with it, first I did a trial with not selecting them.
Question:
It seems to me not a lot of environments are running forms in a WLS cluster and I can nowhere find info on what might be the problem. Has anybody done this kind of an environment yet (installation of forms in clustered mode) ? and/or encountered the same kind of problems ... ?

Have a look here it describes the step by step install:
http://www.formsmigration.com/wls_install.html
Then this covers the patch up to 11.1.1.3:
http://www.formsmigration.com/wls_patch_to_1033.html
You seem to be installing the weblogic server 10.3.4 and then the forms and reports 11.1.1.2. I think that this is an incompatible combination, and you need to install weblogic server 10.3.2 with that version of forms and reports. Y9ou can then patch up to newer versions afterwards.

Replacement for 10g Forms&Reports standalone server in 11g?

is there a replacement for the 10g Forms&Reports standalone server in 11g environment? Without the need to install Metadata Repository?
thx, florian.
Edited by: fschulze on Oct 16, 2009 1:12 PM

I believe you can install the equivalent in Forms 11g.
If you don't install Portal or Discoverer, then you are not required to install any Metadata repository.
So the steps would be:
1) Install Weblogic Server 11g
2) Install Forms and Report Services 11g
How will you call reports from forms though?

Upgrade Oracle Forms/Reports from 6i to 11g

Hi you Oracle experts,
I'm considering to upgrade my Oracle Forms/Reports application from 6i to 11g.
However, I see dozens of separated server components on the download page in OTN.
Can anyone guide me what server/developer software components should I prepare to install ?
Also, please tell me the service dependency between the server components.
Thank you in advance.

It depends on which Machine you want to install. Its different for a developer and a Server.
For Forms and Reports, you can Weblogic server and install FMV with Forms and Reports builders.
For migration you can go through this link.

Configuring Forms Reports Standalone 10.1.2.0.2

I'm having issues installing version 10.1.2.0.2 of the Forms and Reports Standalone. I currently have version 9.0.4 installed and am trying to install the newer version in a different directory, as I understand this is supported.
I was able to install it but am having issues with the configuration. First, I got a message that the OPMN process manager failed to start, I continued anyway. Then during the configuration portion, it failed to configure the WebCache.
Am I supposed to stop the processes for the 9.0.4 version before configuring this one? Should I de-install 10.1.2 and start over or leave it and try to reconfigure after stopping 9.0.4? I need both available as we're about to move to IE7 but I can't take ver. 9 down yet.

It may be that you have too little memory available during the install. Stop the database and any other memeory hogs, uninstall and delete everything in the 10.1.2 home and try to install again. You don't need WebCache for Forms so deselect that (unless you need it for other stuff). I suggest you call Oracle Customer Support and ask them to help you with this.

How to configure crystal report 2013 with oracle 11g

hey all,
i download trial version SAP Crystal Report 2013 and i have Database with 11g and i want to connect with my database and try to develop reports
but my issue is that i'm not able to connect with database. Can anyone please help to connect with database.
i am new be with oracle database so it will help me if any one go thru step by step or any link,

Hi Sandip,
All you need is a 32-bit Oracle driver to be installed on the machine you're developing the reports on.
If you already have both the 64-bit and the 32-bit drivers, make sure the Path variable under 'system variables' points to the 32-bit home.
You can then either create an ODBC DSN or use the 'Oracle Server' native driver that shows under 'Database Expert' to create the report.

Installation Guidance (WebLogic 10.3.5 / Oracle Forms,Reports 11.1.1.6)

Goal : I am a designer/developer, have worked on already-installed systems for years, now between contracts and want/need to set up my own installation of Oracle Database 11g R2 database and development tools including Oracle Forms/Reports 11g (also SQL Developer and Application Express, but these come with the DB).
Caveat : have not done an installation of the DB and development tools for years and I know a lot has changed.
System : Windows 7 (64 bit), 6 GB RAM, 600 GB Hard Drive
Here is an overview of the steps as I understand them from the documentation I've been able to find. I know there are lots of details for each step but I want to know if the overall order is right.
1. Install DB (downloaded Oracle 11G Release 2, ready to install Enterprise Edition).
2. Install Repository Creation Utility 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5.0) to set up the schemas for Fusion Middleware
** QUESTION ** where on earth does one find this? Anyone have a link for it? Or does it come with a larger patchset/installation set?
3. Install Oracle WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.5)
4. Install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer Release 11g (11.1.1.2.0) but do not configure (advice given in documentation for 11.1.1.6 Patchset)
5. Install and Configure 11.1.1.6 Patchset
Any comments or suggestions welcome. Hope to avoid pitfalls if possible.
Thanks in advance !
Peter

Report Services Cluster

Once upon a time in V9i R1 and before, one could configure a report service cluster to get load balancing and performance improvements; this has been deprecated on iAS10gR2.
What is the equivalent configuration in this new version? Is there any documentation? How do we setup multiple report services addressed by one URL that can share the same cache and same source (deploy reports once).
Thanks for any help

panos,
i am not quite clear what your question is. what kind of information are you looking for ? what is the exact problem in your environemnt ? also please specify exact platform and version of reports you are using.

Communication btw. Forms & Reports 6i

Hi,
I'm terribly sorry but it is kind of multi posting...
I tried to get an answer in the Forms forum in this thread but to no avail.
link: Basic question: Communication btw. Forms and Reports
I still can't get my hands on a machine where both components are installed but need to know:
Do Forms and Reports communicate only via parameter's names
or is there also a kind of position matching in place?
Example:
Forms:
ADD_PARAMETER(prmlist,'DESNAME',TEXT_PARAMETER,desname);
ADD_PARAMETER(prmlist,'BATCH',TEXT_PARAMETER,batch);
ADD_PARAMETER(prmlist,'DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER,destype);
ADD_PARAMETER(prmlist,'P1',TEXT_PARAMETER,:global.version);
ADD_PARAMETER(prmlist,'P1',TEXT_PARAMETER,p1);
ADD_PARAMETER(prmlist,'P2',TEXT_PARAMETER,p2);
ADD_PARAMETER(prmlist,'P3',TEXT_PARAMETER,p3);
ADD_PARAMETER(prmlist,'P4',TEXT_PARAMETER,p4);
ADD_PARAMETER(prmlist,'P5',TEXT_PARAMETER,p5);
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS,calledreport,
            SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,
            prmlist,null);User parameters defined in report:
P_USER
P_WHITE_YN
P4
P5
P6
Will this work? Please help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Guido

Oracle 11g Form/Reports Server - Stable Version 11.1.1.7 (or) 11.1.2.1.0?

Hi Friends,
We are using Oracle 10g Forms and Reports with 10g Database.
We would like to upgrdae 10g Forms/Reports to 11g Forms/Reports and Database to 11g.
Please let us know which version of Forms/Reports is stable.
11.1.1.7 (or) 11.1.2.1.0
What is the major difference between them?
Regards,
DB

Hi siva,
Thanks for your response... It works! Finally...
Let me undestand one more thing... I saw there are three ways to use routeserver:
1- Route Requests using un-geocoded addresses
2- Route Requests using pre-geocoded addresses
3- Route Requests using Latitude and Longitude
When I try to use de last one (lat/long), I got the following message:
<RouteServerException>[RSE-0204: Geocoder Not Initialized]</RouteServerException>
Do you know why? I think that this lat/long option don't need geocoder. Am I wrong?
In other words: Can I use routeserver without a geocoder to input lat and long values and receive the route?
Thank you very much,
Regards,
Daniel

DB Link problem on form/report 6i

Greeting
I have an problem on form 6i with DB Link , that When I have view Using the DB Link and want to use the view on form6i or report 6i, the report not work when call the run file but work through the builder and also on the form not work (Form/ Report 6i With Oracle 11g Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production)
Thanks and appreciated,

Tony,
we have both 6i forms for client server for Linux and Sparc and the same forms ported (a year ago) to iAS/iDS 10g R2 just to be able to support the same application when 6i becomes obsolete. The issue of trying/asking/investigating if 6i works or will be certified against 11g or not, is simply to find out if we can support our application on the client/server side when the end users want to move to the new database server version/s. As you know the runtime for the client/server version of 6i is free. But we can not simply recommend our end users to start using 11g db server yet, given that 10gR2 forms are not yet certified against 11g yet. Thank you for your comments not only for this posting but on Forms forum though, I always find them very helpful when making educated decisions. Also knowing that you are a unix person makes your comments more valueable for me, personally.

Weblogic - Fusion Middleware Cluster - Clarification - 11g

Hello All,
I've checked the forum and would need just a little clarification regarding weblogic cluster & fusion Middleware + Load Balancing.
My current Setup is:
==============
1 APP Server: Runs Fusion Middleware 11g Forms and Reports + Weblogic + OHS (windows 2008R2)
1 DB Server: Standalone database 11gR2 installation (windows 2008R2)
I've been asked to add a new app server and setup load balancing between the two app servers in order to split the incoming forms & reports requests.
What do I do? Do I install the new app server like the first one and just add it to an existing domain(clustering)? Is there a difference between fusion middleware clustering and weblogic clustering (as in database RAC - the whole idea being failover 24/7 no single point of failure?)
I would appreciate any assistance, and need not great detail, just need to make sense of the whole thing.
I'm already on with the following document: [http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/e13709/toc.htm]
Thanks in advance
Jan S.

Hi Jan
You are almost there. I would like to clarify some points for you.
1. You already have WLS + Forms/Reports and of course Backend RCU Database that has all the meta data for Forms/Reports. This RCU database is on single server Oracle database.
I've been asked to add a new app server and setup load balancing between the two app servers in order to split the incoming forms & reports requests.
2. The first question for above requirement is, do you need the new Server on the same Existing physical box or a different remote physical box. If on the same physical box (which I doubt), then there is NO need to install any new software like WLS, Forms/Reports etc. All you do is create a new Managed Server and add it to your existing Domain. NOW, do you currently have a Clustered Domain. If you, all you do is add this new server to that cluster. If not, then you need to add a New cluster and add your old and this NEW managed server to that Cluster. If your existing domain is only single server and is very recent, I would prefer create a brand new Cluster domain with Different Port numbers (you can change port numbers anytime later also). Then add/create one or two managed servers.
3. If you are give a new physical box for this new managed server, then YES, you do need to install exactly SAME version of Weblogic Server and same version of Forms/Reports server on this new machine. Then create a Cluster Domain with 2 managed servers. One managed server on first box where you will have Admin Server + Managed Server 1. Then run pack command. Go to other machine. Run unpack command to create second Managed Server. Now you got 2 managed servers in a Single Clustered Domain.
4. Now comes the Load Balancing Part. Never ever expose the individual managed server host and port and WebApp urls for any Clustered Domain. Instead install Apache Http Web App Server which I guess is same as Oracle Http Server. Oracle renamed it (there is no need for this, but it may be company policy). Anyhow all you do is, just install Apache Web Server. Copy some .dll (.so on linux) files to this apache installation. Then update httpd.conf file or weblogic.conf file with details of clustered weblogic domain managed servers host, port, url patterns etc.
5. All the External Requests will now go to Apache Web Server like http://apachehost:apacheport/xxxUrl. This Apache will take care of LOAD Balancing, Failover etc and based on input url pattern will redirect requests to back end cluster of weblogic managed servers.
6. The backend RCU database that has Metadata for Forms/Reports NEED NOT be Clustered. If you really have extremely heavy data, then you can have Oracle RAC database. Have multiple DB Nodes in RAC. For each Node, create a DataSource in Weblogic conolse and finally one master Multi Data Soiurce that uses all these single Datasources. But very rarely you really need RAC or clustered database for RCU. So for now, just go with single non-clustered Database that has RCU Schemas.
In conclusion, even though you have Forms/Reports, just follow the standard normal Weblogic Clustered domain Architecture for your requirement. All clustering is at application server level and nothing to do with any Oracles softwares like SOA/BPM, Forms/Report, BI etc etc.
Thanks
Ravi Jegga

Installing Oracle 10g Forms and Reports in Cluster Mode

Dear All,
My OS version is RHEL 4
In our current setup we have oracle 10g database two node cluster and Application Server 10g to node cluster.
Currently our report server has been configured to run in standalone mode
I have been asked to configure oracle 10g forms and report server in cluster mode.
Please provide me with the documentation link to configure oracle 10g reports server in cluster mode.
Thanks and Regards
Monoj Das

my main goal is load balancing only
Then what I've done in 2007 might be what you need. In that thread there is a link to Web Cache Administrator's Guide : there you'll find everything you need to configure the web cache as a load balancer, particularly chapter 8 Setup and Configuration.
Anyway, here briefly some configurations : we have two machines, say MachineA and MachineB. The DNS resolves MachineA to a virtual address, which is normally assigned to MachineA; if MachineA crashes, it gets assigned to MachineB.
Users URL looks like this : http://MachineA:<port>/forms/frmservlet?config=<some config>
MachineA's web cache distributes connection requests between MachineA and MachineB.
Of course we're now using 11g as well, but that's another thing.

Has anybody configured Forms/Reports as cluster in 11g patch3?
