HeadStart Installation

Hi,
I want to install head start 10g on my system.
I have followed the instruction given in instaaltion guide.
But at Server-Side Installation of Headstart
*1. Create the Headstart users using the following script. This script is located in the [HSD65_HOME]\hst\scripts directory.*
create_hsd65_users.sql
You will need the following information in order to run this script.
SYS password
database connect string where the users are to be created
Name and password you want to use for the new Headstart Template Package owner (e.g. HST65)
Name and password you want to use for the new Headstart Utilities owner (e.g. HSU65)
Name and password you want to use for the new Headstart Demo Application owner (e.g. HDEMO65)
Tablespace names you want to use for Default and Temporary tablespaces for these users
*2. Launch the start local oc4j instance when deploying/installing on the DS10g platform - if not already done*
*3. Click on the icon 'Headstart Server-Side Installer' in the Headstart Designer R10g program group. You will see the following screen.*
After point 3rd i am stuck, i cannot see the icon for which its talking, and please tell me how to start the installation of head start.
please tell me if anyother installation guide is there which is more easier than on i am having.
I am using *"install_for_10g.htm"* for installation

The icons should be avialable under the HSD65_HOME\Environment_Setup\shortcuts
Or you could start a url something like
http://<your local machine>:8889/forms/frmservlet?config=hsd65_serverinstall

Headstart installation with developer 6i

Hi,
I've installed Developer 6i under NT
Installed designer 6 under NT.
Now want to install Headstart.
Installed 2.1.2 with installer. OK.
Want to server-side install according to readme file.
Unable to start form HSDINST.fmx because it is compiled with an older version of forms.
There is no fmb fil available to compile with developer 6i.
How do I continue ?

In order to install Headstart 2.1 in a Forms 6 environment, you need patch 10. You can download patch 10 from OTN at http://technet.oracle.com/products/headstart/ (press the Software button).
Included in patch 10 are instructions how to do a fresh install in a Forms 6 environment.

Headstart Installation Questions

Could anyone help me with the following please? Examples of how Headstart users have been set up in other installations would be very useful.
1) When performing server side installation, four usernames are required - Repository Owner, Template Package Owner, Utilities Owner and Demo owner. Can these all be the same database/designer user or is it preferable to keep them seperate?
2) Has Headstart been designed so that all database/designer users use these four users only to access Headstart or can more than one user be set up as a template package owner or utilities owner or demo user? If so, how should these users be set up i.e. are there any Headstart specific tables/packages they need access to, any specific roles they need to be granted?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Aneesha McHale.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
It is recommended that these are different users. The Repository owner you should already have if you installed Designer. The other three users you should create in the database. They do not need to be Designer users.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
In the Development environment, you need only one template package, utilities and demo owner. Existing Designer users can be set up as Utilities users using the Headstart Utilities Administration Application. For work that needs to be done in the template package or demo schema, everyone can use the same (owner) username password.
In the Production Environment, you don't need any Headstart Utilities or Demo owner. The only Headstart Database objects you need, are those of the template package. You can choose to install them directly in your application schema, or use a joint template package owner for all your Headstart generated applications. Both setups are described in the Headstart User Guide, chapter Runtime Environment.
Hope this helps,
Sandra

Fix to allow Headstart Generated Forms to run with Forms Debugger!

All,
A big thank you to Marcel Kappel!
He has resolved the long outstanding problem that caused us to be unable to use Headstart generated forms with the
Forms Debugger.
Regards,
Lauri
In the database stored package QMS_PROFILE, there is a cursor c_uso. It references the column 'language' which
also happens to be a reserved word in Forms. This is the culprit. To fix the problem, we simply need to prefix the
column name with the table alias.
Old Definition:
cursor c_uso (b_user_name varchar2) is
select va_queryable_item
,va_readonly_item
,va_required_item
,va_selected_record
,enable_cs_ind
,highlight_qi_ind
,highlight_ri_ind
,raise_find_window
,menu_call_method
,language
from qms_user_options uso
where uso.user_name = b_user_name;
New Definition:
cursor c_uso (b_user_name varchar2) is
select uso.va_queryable_item
,uso.va_readonly_item
,uso.va_required_item

,uso.highlight_qi_ind

Ibrahim,
Check out the Headstart installation guide. It explains why client/server deployment is not recommended as well as
guidelines for working around this problem. In a nutshell, we are using the 'automatic' keyword for foreground and
background color to get optimal performance with the Oracle Look and Feel in webforms. Unfortunately, client/server
has problems with this keyword.
We have just published a new client/server kit which is available via the Supplement Option.

Headstart and Client/Server (C/S)

Hi 'Generators',
I have a question related to running Headstart generated Forms within a C/S environment. Is it possible to get a stable C/S environment?
I have checked the Headstart installation manual and there is a chapter "Using Headstart 6.5 in a Client/Server Environment". I have implemented the changes to the object library (where can i find "progress_indicator.amount" by the way???) but the forms are still not very stable in the client server mode. When i run the form in Oracle forms developer standalone there are no problems. When i run the form from the start form it crashes almost immediately. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLUUUPPPPPP!!!!! Have i missed an undocumented change to the object library????
If somebody was able to create a stable C/S environment!!! Please let me know!!!!
Gr.
Louk

Hi Lauri,
First of all, thanks for your information and your e-mail.
This is what i have tried at the beginning of this week. To see if text "automatic" was still in my forms i converted my forms from FMB to FMT format and did a search and replace on "automatic". For every text "automatic" found i have changed it to some kind of default color and then converted the forms back to FMB and then i have tried them to run again. The forms still crash. The strange thing is that they run correct within the FORM builder as stand-alone forms (open form in forms builder and then hit the traffic light to run the form). When i run them within the main form (start-form with menu's to call my forms) things start to go wrong. What is the difference? Is there something i forget? Can you tell me if there is someone out there who was able to get a stable environment at all?
Our plan to run the forms in a C/S environment using Citrix seems to be over when it is not possible to get it stable. We have to use the WEBFORMS environment instead and this means we have to invest in the Forms Server. Or are there other alternatives?

Meaning fails to generate correct code for text item in designer reports

I have a text item in a report which is a table column governed by a domain. When the display type is set to TEXT and the Show Meaning property is set to MEANING ONLY - the code generation fails as follows:
WHERE NTC.ICO_ID = L_ICO.ID AND
L_ICO.ISS_CAT_CODE = L_ISS.CAT_CODE AND
L_ICO.ISS_LEGI_CODE = L_ISS.LEGI_CODE AND
NTC.DEM_ID = L_DEM.ID
CG.RV_DOMAIN = 'NOTICE TYPE' AND CG.RV_LOW_VALUE = NTC.NOTICE_TYPE
The failure is caused because the AND is omitted from the last condition in the query. (the part that gets the meaning from cg_ref_codes).
Can anyone advise on a solution to this?

Sander,
Your concerns about renaming the new release 4 libraries to ofg*65.pll are understandable, but it is exactly what you have to do. The only customizations we made to the ofg* libraries in Headstart 6i are workarounds for Designer bugs that were present when we wrote Headstart 6i (at that time we used Designer release 2). These bugs have been fixed by now, so it is safe to use the Release 4 versions and get rid of the ones that shipped with Headstart 6i.
We recommend still renaming them to ofg*65.pll, for an explanation see the Headstart User guide or the Headstart Installation Guide.
Kind regards,
Peter

Original libraries attached to form

Generating a form using designer6i, w2000 result in to many attachments: headstart libraries and original libraries:
ofgmes and ofgmes65
ofgtel and ofgtel65
etc.
Same designer version on NT generates correct form.
Does anyone know why?

Ernst,
It looks like the ofg*65 libs (from Headstart) are attached via the Headstart Event handler and the *ofg Designer libs via Designer generator. Set the libs to attach by designer to the Headstart version.
You can do this in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle\CGenf61\options
"FMLABS"="ofgbsl65.pll"
"FMLAMG"="ofgmnl65.pll"
"FMLATE"="ofgtel65.pll"
"FMLCAL"="ofgcall65.pll"
"FMLHPL"="ofghpl65.pll"
"FMLMSG"="ofgmes65.pll"
"FMLNAV"="ofgnavl65.pll"
"FMLTAB"="ofgtab65.pll"
"FMLTRE"="ofgtreen65.pll"

Forms Runtime stack dump - MSVCRT.dll

I'm having trouble with a Forms 5.0 app that I'm bringing up to Forms 6i. Whenever I try to run the form, I get a stack dump. I searched METALINK and found lots of people complaining of the same or similar problem, all in forum threads that have since been closed without anyone posting a solution. Has anyone experienced this? I'm desperate for a solution!
I'm running Windows/NT Build 1381, SP6, but the problem also occurs on a Win2k workstation. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling all the Oracle products on my workstation, and I've also tried loading various different versions of MSVCRT.dll into the WINNT/system32 folder. (This is a pain because Windows opens & locks the DLL.)
Thanks in advance.

Qms0006F - user preference window aborts

Hi,
This form works fine with forms 61 path 3. When I upgraded to patch 5 suddenly it just aborts without any errors.
Thanks

Are you running client/server or webforms? The only time I've seen this screen abort is when trying to run client/server.
See the Headstart Installation Guide for information about problems with client/server.

Ali,
You are running into a bug in the install form. It sees the tables that you imported manually (like the message told you to do), and then complains about them. The best thing to do is change the code in the hsdinst.fmb where the check for existing objects is performed in program units CHECK_USERS:
function hsu_objects_exist
return boolean
is
cursor c_chk
is
select 'x'
from user_objects
where object_name like 'BL_%'
-- or object_name like 'HSU_%'
-- or object_name like 'OMR_%'
So comment out the two lines as indicated above and recreate the fmx.
Kind regards,
Peter

Installation requirements - Headstart 6.5.3.0 for 9i

Hi,
In the installation guide: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORACLE HEADSTART 6.5.3.0 for 9i, one of the requirements is : Oracle 9iAS infrastructure 9.0.2.0.1.
Is it really necessary to have the Oracle 9iAS infrastructure or is the Oracle 9iAS Forms/Reports services enough ?
Thank you,
Chad.

Dan,
This is a quite common development architecture. If you have your forms server running, than deploying a Headstart application is no different from any other application. If you also want to configure the headstart utilities, administration and foundation application, then you need to configure some Aliases in your forms90.conf. If you use the latest release (6.5.3.0 for 9i), there some sample configuration files in the Environment_Setup/9iasr2conf directory.
Cheers,
Rob Swinkels

URGENT:problems with installation of HeadStart

After installing Oracle HeadStart R2.1.2 on a common driver and
then Server-Side as explained in the file inst_oi.htm I have
launched the program Start->Program->HeadStart Designer R 2.1.2->
HeadStart Utilities Administration.
Then it appears to me the program Developer 2000 Forms Runtime
for Windows 95/NT ad a form asking me UserID, Password and
database.
I have inserted the combination that I usually use for Designer
and then I obtain the following error: FRM-41085 : ERROR
OBTAINING THE COUNTING OF ROWS OF THE GROUP at which I answer OK
and then the error FRM-40735 : THE TRIGGER PRE-FORM DOES NOT
MANAGE THE EXCEPTION ORA-04062.
Which could be my problem?
I have also tried a lot of time to reinstall the server side but
also if the combinations of password and connection in the fifth
form of the wizard are RIGHT(as when I installed the first time)
it gives me the error "User name/Password Repository Owner or
Connect String is not correct". How can I try to reinstall all?
The type of installation was "new installl" because I didn't
have a previous release of HeadStart.
Or the problem are due to the release of Designer/Developer as I
had written in the letter of 15 Sept 1999 at which nobody has
not answered still.
Please Reply as soon as possible.
Than you.

Please install Oracle Designer 2.1.2 first. You can reinstall by
using other users or deleting the users that you have created for
the first install. Please do not forget to also delete the
hsu212_user first before you reinstall.

Server-side installation of Headstart

We've got a live database (8.1.5) with Headstart (2.1.2) installed, all the application's objects, forms, code libraries have been generated using Headstart.
I've created a test database, generated my applications tables from the original repository there, and I want to run my existing live Headstart forms against the test database but I'm unsure about the Headstart server-side installation.
From the installation guide, I can see that I need to run insthst.sql and hstuseri.grt, but I haven't yet got a Headstart Template Package owner. I know that in the live application, the Headstart Template Package owner is the owner of the Headstart objects.
I'd like to know if I create a Headstart Template Package owner in my test database, do I then run insthst.sql and hstuseri.grt, and is there anything else I need to do.
Thanks,
John.

In your test database, you need to have all of the Headstart runtime objects. There are a couple of options for how
to do this. These are described in the User Guide Chapter 8, Runtime Environment.
You will use insthst.sql to create the objects.
If you use a separate Headstart schema, then you can use hstuseri.grt to create the required grants and synonyms
from your application owner schema to the Headstart schema.
Depending on how your users log onto the application, they will also need access to the Headstart objects.

Lauri

Headstart 6i installation - HTTP client side servers?

We are performing the headstart 6i client side install and are confused as to the client software requirements.
Is it necessary to install a HTTP listener on each client that is to be used for development. Or can we use the server based listener(Apache).
The installation document specifies the installation of WEB DB as an option and indicates that this is shipped with Designer 6i, however this does not appear to be contained within the Designer 6i CD's
Rgds, Pierre

It is not necessary to install and configure a HTTP Listener/Forms Server installation on each (developer)client. Yet it can be useful in a number of cases, for instance when your application server is Unix based.
WebDB itself is not shipped with Designer 6i, but when you install Des6i it will also install a Forms 6i runtime environment, and this will prompt you with a question whether you want to install a 'trial' version of Forms Server. The WebDB Listener service is a part of this Forms Server installation.
Kind Regards,
Peter
