Headstart Configuration on 9iAS

Hi,
I have installed the Oracle 817 database, the Designer 6i
Repository on the database and 9i Application Server . The
Headstart Client and Server side installation was also carried
out on the same machine. When I try to run any of the Headstart
applications on the Apache HTTP server, it gives me the error
message "HTTP 404 Not Found : Page not found " . I did set up
the virtual paths in the httpd.conf, as documented in the
installation file , but am still unsure as to why it's giving me
the error.
Any suggestions...

It sounds like the Apache server can't find the [hsd home]\html
directory. This error can mean that your Alias and Script Alias
in the httpd.conf file are missing or set incorrectly.
These are the settings I have in my own httpd.conf file. My
Oracle home is d:\orant and my Headstart home is d:\orant\hsd65.
Alias /hsd65-html/ "d:\orant\hsd65\html/"
Alias /hsd65-java/ "d:\orant\hsd65\java/"
Alias /hsd65-icons/ "d:\orant\hsd65\html\icons/"
Alias /hsd65-help/ "d:\orant\hsd65\doc/"
Alias /hsd65-cdm/ "d:\orant\hsd65\hsu\cdm/"
Alias /forms60java/ "d:\orant\forms60\java/"
Alias /forms60_output/ "d:\temp\"
Alias /jinitiator/ "d:\orant\jinit/"
Alias /dev60html/ "d:\orant\tools\web60\html/"
Alias /dev60temp/ "d:\orant\tools\web60\temp/"
ScriptAlias /hsd65-cgi/ "d:\orant\hsd65\html/"
You also need to be sure to update the
[hsd home]\html\hsdcgi65.cfg file to your
version of jinitiator. You should have a 'jinit'directory under
your oracle home. It will contain a jinit.exe file. Run the
file to install jinitiator. After the install, find the
jinit-version.txt file and use cut/paste to put the correct
values in the hsdcgi65.cfg file.
For example, I am now using jinitiator 1.1.8.11 and had to update
the following 3 settings.
; Parameters related to the version of JInitiator.
jinit_classid=clsid:86ecb6a0-400a-11d5-b638-00c04faedb18
jinit_exename=jinit.exe#Version=1,1,8,11
jinit_mimetype=application/x-jinit-applet;version=1.1.8.11

Reports Configuration Error - 9ias Business Intelligence Install

Has anyone gotten a successful install of Business Intelligence and Forms of 9ias? I finally got a clean infrastructure install and a clean patch install. Now, I am trying to do the 9ias business intelligence and forms install. All went smoothly except the Reports Configuration Assistant. I am getting an error when the Assistant tries to execute the rwaddpage.sql. Any ideas?
Deborah

Hi!
I believe that this is the way it is.
Usually I see an AS where OCS is added. But there should be not many differences.
There was a 10g version (10.1.1 I think) where you ended up with different OracleHomes for Portal and BI. Except from adding some stuff to your disks the amount of processes will not differ greatly when starting BI from a separate $OH.
Switching off the Enterprise Manager (Application Server Control) will leave you with lots of CPU and Memory resources.

Configuring Oracle 9iAS for LDAP Authentication

I have installed OID Server on my PC. Now I want to switch my Login Server to External LDAP Authentication mode. For that I run the script ssoldap.sql passing the host, port, search base, etc.. from my login server schema (portal30_sso) The script throws me the following error :
" Bind variable "CN" not declared ".
I even compile the package ssoxldap.pkb before that. But still this error persists.
tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files are fine and the tnsping to the external procedure is also working properly.
Can anyone help me in this.

I got that problem solved. Its little bit funny solution. Instead of running the sql file using the File->open->ssoldap.sql, we should directly write the whole path i.e. @d:\oracle9i\portal30\admin\plsql\sso\ssoldap.sql
And secondly, I also found one small change related to the installation manual. Its related to Adding entries to the LDAP Server. the manual shows this syntax:
ldapadd -h i3dt111 -p 389 -D 'cn=orcladmin'
-w welcome -f d:\oracle\admin\phd\udump\users.ldif
but instead we shoud write this:
ldapadd -h i3dt111 -p 389 -D cn=orcladmin
-w welcome -f d:\oracle\admin\phd\udump\users.ldif
. Just remove the single quotes in the username string.
Anyways, thanks for your suggestions.

Install Headstart 9i Utilities without 9ias ?

Hi,
i don't know if it was possible to install the headstart utilities without 9iAS.
The DBA have some performances problems and waits for support answer.
Temporaly i wan't to install the Hsd9i utilities, perhaps using Oc4j ?
Any suggestion very apprecied.
Regards.
Philippe

I once installed Headstart 6i without the 9iAS.
In my case I needed only a running HTTP and Forms 6i Server.
I don't know if Forms9i has Forms 9i Server ??
I have heard also that it's possible to run Forms 9i (wth Headstart) with an OC4J server. In ths wa you can run the foms in a c/s enviroment, assumed you have an OC4J instance running on the client.
Hope this helps.

Ibrahim Sawalh

Ibrahim,
From your information, it's difficult to say what is the cause. Basically, it must be a configuration issue with 9iAS. Although Headstart uses other configuration files, it does not add any components to 9iAS and should therefore work properly if other application work well. To give some more insight on this problem, please look on Metalink for Note 189867.1. It has a wealth of info for solving these problems. Another approach would be to carefully compare your configuration files for the 'normal' application and the 'headstart' application to see what is different. You should look for the forms90.conf, oc4j.properties, oc4j_bi_forms.properties and your (hsd)formsweb.cfg
I hope this helps,

9iAS server how to use servlet

While using 9ias there are two types of running the application one through cgi and another through servlet.
The default examples are in cgi. while i am running through cgi everything is fine whereas if i use servlet i am unable to run or proceed and error is raised as even though i follow all the steps given in ur documentation.
how to proceed need a help very urgent.

Go to the Forms page on OTN: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/index.html
1. How do I know if I'm using the Forms listener or the Forms listener servlet?
If you are using port 9000, then you are not using the Forms Listener Servlet architecture.
2. How do I configure the 9iAS server to use the Forms listener servlet and listen for forms requests via HTTP?
From Forms 9i and onwards, the Application Server installer does all of the hard work for you. In 6i, you have to do some yourself.
Click on the All Papers link for Forms 6i. There you will find a document that describes the Forms Listener Servlet setup. (Do text search for "servlet" on that page to find it.)

Oracle 9iAS dcmctl permission error

How do I configure Oracle 9iAS to permit a new user (domain account) the ability to run the dcmctl utility?
Currently only the account used to install Oracle 9iAS is permitted to run the dcmctl utility. All other users receive the following error:
dcmctl getstate -v
ADMN-100999
See Base Exception for details
Base Exception:oracle.ias.repository.schema.schemaexception: Password cound not
be retrived. Run the application as the same user who installed the
application. See base exception for details.

Noticed your thread here, and it fits a question of mine also.
We are a dev/test shop and currently key developer/testers have ias_admin access for deploying and administering the OAS via the Console. As this is not production and they are doing heavy OAS work, this works nicely. The problem is they have no CLI access, as they are not oracle and their accounts do not belong to the DBA grp.
The ability to use a common admin user (ias_admin) in the console, and the restriction to run as oracle or DBA grp for the CLI (dcmctl) seems to be a rather large functionality gap that severely limits the ability of developers to write and run their own automated deployment scripts.
Has anyone else noticed this limitation and have any good ideas? (Stickybits are not allowed on our filesystems, so that workaround is unfortunately out for us also)

Where can i find the doc about xml config file of 9ias?

i cant find the "Oracle9iAS Containers for J2EE User’s Guide",
it should contains the info about the xml config file, i dont
know why oracle launch a product without the config guide, i
have read ton of material for learning the configuration of 9ias
but still have not find the answer!
i cant find it in otn:
http://otn.oracle.com/tech/java/oc4j/content.html#technicaldocs,
it have jsp, servlet....etc guide but no config guide, if
someone seen it in microsoft or sun or borland website, please
call me :)

i mean the deployment config file in the application server like: server.xml, application.xml, web.xml, it is the J2EE standard, and can be used between all application server, tomcat, 9ias, weblogic........

9ias Deployment of foms9i

Can anyone give steps for deploying forms9i on the web, i mean configuring the 9iAS application server to run forms9i

Oracle 9ias Reports within Portal

We have published several Oracle Reports to Portal by configuring Reports 9ias Reports Services and then by registering the Reports Server and Reports Definition Files within portal, this works as expected.
However, several of our Oracle reports point to another oracle database server, when these are run from within portal an exception is raised (REP-1202: ORACLE logon not specified). I can only assume that this is because the Oracle Reports run from within Portal are unable to connect to the external data source. Our existing portal reports connect work OK using a db link. Does anybody know a way to overcome this problem? We were thinking about Single Sign On or do we have to modify the portal PL-SQL package to provide a connection string for each Oracle Report?
Cheers
Dan

How did you try to connect to the remote DB?
Create a TNS entry on the node where your reports server runs, and specify it in the "userid" parameter: scott/tiger@myRemoteDB.

Forms Service verification program problem

I have a java verification program that is run from a HPUX server cron job to check
the status of my 9.0.2.12.2 Oracle 9iAS Forms Services running on a
Windows 2000 server. The program determines if the Forms Services
restarted after a cold, off-hours backup by retrieving and reading
base.htm.
I have 3 windows servers with "identical" configurations of 9iAS Forms
Services. The java verification program works when running against the dev and
test Forms servers but not against the production Forms server. It
did work against the production Forms server until I upgraded to
9.0.2.12.2 a few months ago. The only way to reproduce the problem
against the test Forms server is to rename base.htm so the program
can't find it. default.env,forms90.conf,formsweb.cfg all appear to be
identical. Paths and other environmental variables are identical on
the windows Forms servers. The java program fails or succeeds
consistently on 3 different HPUX servers both in cron and from the
command line.
The error message is: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP
response code: 500 for URL:
http://productionserver:7778/forms90/f90servlet
Java is 1.3.1 on all environments.
import java.io.*;

Accessing "http://productionserver:7778/forms90/f90servlet" from IE works fine.
Any clues or ideas are appreciated.
Thanks

I went through the same thing. Look at Appendix II "Case Study" at http://rootshell.be/~yong321/freeware/ckweb.html. Basically, the forms servlet needs some more HTTP headers you didn't pass.

Webcache Team Question - Urgent please

Hi,
I have a pair of 9iAS R1 Servers running forms listener servlet 6i, and reports over cgi - there is a dozen or so reasons as to why I'm compelled to use this configuration.
Fronting these I have a webcache 9.0.2 box that is correctly configured for SSL. The webcache SSL port 443 site is mapped to the forms 9iAS boxes on http port 80.
I want my users to connect only to the webcache box, and not to the 9iAS servers. If possible, I would like to configure these 9iAS servers to receive IP traffic from the webcache box only. I can do this with IPSec or using a host based firewall such as Zonealarm.
When my users connect to the ssl webcache port, the browser shows the status bar lock icon and a connection is established to one of the 9iAS servers over http. The browser continues to show the icon, but the forms application appears to 'hand off' the connection to the app server. This is highlighted where I enforce a rule on zonealarm (on the app server) to accept traffic from the webcache ip address only - I get a zonealarm msg box indicating that a request from the users own ip address has been blocked.
My question - is it possible to route all connections through webcache, and channel all user connections through that box to the app servers.
I would very very very grateful if someone could answer this question really fast.
Many thanks
Pat

The phone requires an initial activation to function. If you don't have an AT&T SIM and account, you can't activate via iTunes and you can't even use it as a music player.
You can activate it on someone else's account if they have a valid SIM, then give them their SIM back.
BUT, if your switching from VZW to AT&T, why not buy it AT&T directly, port your number and get the nice cheap subsidized price? Or if you buy it off Craigslist, it should be used and already activated, just sold without a SIM - in that case it will work fine as an iPod, BUT if you update the software, it will require activation of you will have a paperweight.

To Grant Roland

Because i like your clear and short statements i have the following questions about Forms9i Developer and Forms 9iAS Services:
1. What do i have to change on a former installation of 9iAS Version 1.0.2.2.a which comes with a configuration for Forms/Reports 6i like entries in Apache for 'forms60servlet' etc. ?
2. What version of OC4J do i have to install for Forms9i on 9iAS and how can i install it or is there coming out a complete new release 2 for 9iAS on Windows which comes with a configuration for Forms/Reports 9i like the one before for 6i. I am also using JDeveloper 9i ! ?
Thanks a lot and excuse my bad englisch.
Hans

Let me join in ;-)
The implementation of Forms9i in Oracle9iApplication Server is different from the way that Forms6i was configured with 9iAS 1.0.2.2. One difference is that Forms 6i uses Apache Jerv while Forms9i uses OC4J via mod_oc4j. You can make Forms9i work with Apache JServ in Oracle9iAS V2 and we provide configuration files to do that, but it is not recomended because the best integration (SSO) you can get is using oc4j via mod_oc4j.
Oracle9iAS on Windows will be released soon and in tehre you will find an out of the box configuration with oc4j as well as documentation explaining the configuration itslef.
We haven't yet certified Forms6i with Oracle9iAS V2, nor did we vice versa, and this is why it saves you a lot of time and effort if you can wait for Oracle9iAS V2 to come out on Windows.
thanks
Frank
Ps.: Grant, hope you are fine with me catching this question
