HELP - problem in running SSLSocket client/server application

Hi,
I want to create a SSLSocket based client/server application for this i have used EchoServer.Java and EchoClient.Java files. Both files are successfully compiled and when i ran EchoServer it throws an exception "Server certificate not found".
I want to make a complete auto-controlled client/server application which will automatically gets certificate and all configuration itself from program because i will use both client and server application in as a servlet part.
I did as per following instructions:
-Create a keystore to hold the private and public keys for the server. e.g.
keytool -genkey -keystore mykeystore -alias "myalias" -keypass "mysecret"
-Export the X509 certificate from this store
keytool -export -alias "myalias" -keystore mykeystore -file mycertfile.cer
-Import this into a trustStore for the client
keytool -import -alias "myalias" -keystore mytruststore -file mycertfile.cer
-Run the server using the keystore
java -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=mykeystore -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword="mysecret" EchoServer

Speed Oracle forms (web based) versus client server

2 years ago we've tested forms 9i
Everything went very smoothly:
We had no problems in converting our old forms to 9i.
We've installed a new database on a new server and we've installed a application server on a second server (Both servers had 2 CPU's and 2GB of memory).
In short everything worked perfectly ... except the speed.
Oracle forms (web based) are a lot slower than client-server forms on a LAN, so we kept developing client-server.
We just use forms on our own local network (100Mbit) but
we use a lot of triggers in our forms (perhaps the reason for the poor performance?)
Has anything changed?
Is it now possible to use web based forms, that are at leased as fast as client server forms?

OK, I agree: changing the form (more views, less post-query, more pl/sql on database) will improve performance.
But then I have to recreate every form (> 1000), so then converting c/s to web is not just recompile.
We don't use images in our forms, the database is connected to the application server with a gigabit line. We did tests when even the client was on gigabit, but c/s remains faster. We did the test with just 1 client. and we have never experienced a bottleneck on the network using c/s (even with post-query on millions of records)
So 1 database (2 Xeon CPU's 2GB RAM), 1 App server (2 XEON CPU's, 2GB RAM) and 1 client (XEON workstation, 512MB RAM) using web forms on a gigabit network is slower than the same client using forms (c/s) without an appl. server. => A lot more hardware for less performance?
In short my question: is the latest version of forms faster than the previous version?
Can webforms have the same performance as client server?

HELP: Reports Builder 9iDS Rel2 and SQL Server 2000

Hi,
I need to connect to a SQL Server 2000 database from within Report Builder (for a proof of concept) and I am getting error 62000-Failed to connect to datasource.
Can you help?
My OS is Windows Prof 2000.
I have Downloaded Oracle 9iDS Rel2 and Oracle 9i AS J2EE and Web Cache. They are installed in the same Oracle Home.
I have modified the REPORTS_CLASSPATH with the datadirect jar files and the j2ee oc4j.jar.
The oc4j.jar is in my system classpath.
I have added the classpath definition with jars to my rwserver.conf.
I start Report Builder select JDBC Query
enter my connect info:
Username: user
Passowrd: pwd
Database: dbname
and select the merant-sqlserver driver from the list.
What am I doing wrong?
I have been at this a week can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hi Jeanne
1. When you run the report to paper design from builder, you need to add the necessary jar file of driver to REPORTS_CLASSPATH env variable in registery.
2. To run the report from report server and to generate to file from report builder, you need to add the jar files via classPath attribute of engine element in server/builder conf file. It would be like this
<engine id="rwEng" .....classPath="<yr classpath>" >
3. Have a look at jdbcpds.conf file in OH/reports/conf dir. This file need to have the driver information for the driver you are using. The entry here also specifies the connect sting format which is required by the driver. You need to refer to driver doc for connect string format.
Once you have all this set up ready, run the report. You need to mention the connect string in same format as specified in driver info in jdbcpds.conf file.
Try this.
Thanks

Oracle 9i Sample Schema running in client/server mode?

I've got Oracle 9i up on RH7.3 and have successfully executed the sample schema on the Server using the mksample.sql script.
Now the challenge is to run these same (sample schema) SQL scripts across a network using a 9i client. I copied the demo/schema files from the server installation to the client but when I invoke the mksample script the passwords have to include a connect_identifier which, in this environment, causes the subordinate scripts to get confused.
Has anyone else attempted to do this?

You did not have to change any of your scripts to put the connect_identifier.
Within SQL*Plus you can use the "SET INSTANCE <connect_identifier>" command to make that Oracle instance
your default for this session. After you do this, all your connect statements will not require a
connect_identifier.
==============================================================
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> set instance ORA901
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.0.1.1.1 - Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 9.0.1.1.1 - Production
SQL> connect scott/tiger
Connected.

==============================================================
As you can see, after the SET INSTANCE command, the connect command does not need a connect_identifier.

The kinda answer I like: download, copy, mesh, hack. Looks very nice, must work in most cases, but not this time for me. Behavior was exactly the same, running the nightly build.
Just for the records:
Safari prefs in my Windows live happy in:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari
These days I installed an Safari in a brand new 2003 and worked nice. Bug 4 x 1 Safari. Bug still winning.
So, it must be some stuff, some little tricky service or software I install in my usual Windows.
Anyway, thank you very much...
If someone have some clue, I'll apreciate

Run a client-side program when using web-enabled forms(host command)

I am trying to run a local program on my windows machine when i press a button on the oracle web form SCAN[Host('C:\scktscan.exe')]. It trys to execute the program on the server machine and not the client machine. The button will work when forms are run in client-server mode. How can i get the button to access a program on the client machine when the forms are run on the web?

In order to execute a program at the client pc, you must implement a java bean.
Have a look at the demos extension pack 1 (http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/forms/content.html)
It explains also how to implement this in your own application.

When is client/server forms finished?

Which is last database, where is possible run forms with client/server architecture? Of cource with guarantee ORACLE.
We have forms version 6 in client/server, who are running on database 9.2i and we need move to database 10g.
Thanks...

Unfortunatelly forum doesn't solve my question. There are answers for solution with forms *6i* , but we have developed forms *6* only for client/server architecture.So if you are unable to search the answer, then you can create a new post in forms forum with your question. If someone has the answer, you will get some reply.
You can also find the forms form here under category "Developer Tools"

Oracle 9i Forms in Client/Server Mode (Updates in Technical FAQ)

Hi All,
I'm doing an investigation for porting to Oracle Forms 9i and I've found the answers in Oracle 9i Forms Technical FAQ of February 2003. But since it's been more than three and a half years, I would like to know if the following information in the FAQ still holds?
Upgrading to 9i
What versions of Forms can I upgrade to Oracle9i Forms?
Only Forms 6.0 and Forms 6i are supported for direct upgrade to Oracle9i Forms. Older versions of Forms should be upgraded to Forms 6i first.
Can I run Client Server or Character Mode applications in Oracle9i Forms?
No. Oracle9i Forms only supports Web deployment. Applications that need to be run in Client Server or Character Mode should remain in Forms 6i. Forms 6i will be supported until December 31st, 2004, or December 31st, 2007 with Extended Support for customers who wish to maintain such applications.
What changes will I have to make to my application before upgrading?
Many Client Server and Character Mode features have been removed from the Forms product for 9i. The removed features mainly relate to features that where only maintained in Forms 6i for the purpose of backwards compatibility. A detailed list of all of the obsolete features can be found on OTN (/products/forms/pdf/featuresobsolescence.pdf)
Is there an easy way to find out if my modules use obsolete features?
Yes. Oracle supply a separate utility with the Oracle9i Forms distribution "f90plsqlconv". This is a utility which will scan your files for obsolete usages and correct them where applicable. It will also alert you to any changes you may have to make manually.

As far as I know it still holds: Forms9i isn't changed since then.
What I don't see in the FAQs is if you move form client/server to the web that you must be aware that the forms are running on the application server instead of the client PC. So calls to TEXT_IO and HOST etc are also executed on the appserver. You should review those calls and decide were you want to have them executed...(use webutil if you want to keep the execution on the client)
HTH

Can you "debug" a form when running on the App. Server?

We recently got a project to do defect fixing of a Oracle Forms 10g application.
They have given us each developer a VM with an app. server, source code etc.
Problem is, we cannot run the form using the Form Builder.
They want us to always make changes to the form, deploy in the app. server and run the form using the Application Menu.
Problem is, how can we do line-by-line debugging in a situation like this?
Normally, we would press the "Run form debug" button to run the form in Forms developer in debug mode.
What is the solution?
Should we ask the owners to give us permission to run the form from Developer?
Or, is there way to do debugging a form when running from app. server?

user12240205 wrote:
So Craig, why is it prompting me with a File Open dialog box when it tries to run a DB procedure?
What does the Forms debugger supposed to do? Run it and bring back result?
Because Forms doesn't know how to load the object so it is prompting you to open it. However, since the Forms debugger can't read the source of the database program unit (procedure, package, function) - you can't debug it from Forms. At least, I've never been able to do it and I've tried making Forms open a source file for a database program unit. It basically boils down to the fact that Oracle Forms can only debug objects that are within the scope of the Forms runtime/builder and database program units are not contained within the Forms objects (eg; Forms binary, PL/SQL Library or Menu Module binary). I recommend you "Step-Over" any call to a database program unit when you encounter them in the Forms debugger. The database program unit will take longer than normal to run, but it will eventually finish and take you to the next line of code to be executed.

TCP client server sample

All,
This may not really be a LabWindows/CVI question but I'm really stuck on what should be easy to
solve. The brain trust here on the forums has always been helpful so I'll try to explain.
The project:
Get LabWindows/CVI code talking to a muRata SN8200 embedded WiFi module.
The setup:
(running Labwindows/CVI 2009)
Computer 1 -- (with a wireless NiC) running simple demo TCP server program provided by muRata.
Computer 2 -- USB connection (virtual COM port) with simple program (also provided by muRata) that talks to the SN8200 embedded WiFi module. This code along with the module creates a simple TCP client.
Whats working:
I can successfuly get the Computer 2 client connected to and talking to the Computer 1 server. (using the muRata supplied code)
I can also run the LabWindows/CVI sample code from (\CVI2009\samples\tcp), server on computer 1 & client on computer 2 and they talk with no problems.
(I'm using the same IP addresses and port numbers in all cases)
Whats NOT working:
Run the CVI server program on computer 1.
I cannot get the muRata client program to connect to the CVI server.
I also tried get the CVI client program to connect to the muRata server. No luck that way either. The CVI client sample program trys connect, and this function call:
ConnectToTCPServer (&g_hconversation, portNum, tempBuf, ClientTCPCB, NULL, 5000 );
returns with a timeout error code (-11).
What I need:
Some ideas on how to get this working.
Is there something unique about the LabWindows/CVI sample client/server demo code that would make them incompatible with the muRata code?
Can you think of some ways I can debug this further? I feel like I'm kind of running blind.
What else can I look at?
For those that have read this far, thanks much and any ideas or comments will be appreciated,
Kirk

Humphrey,
First,
I just figured out what the problem is:
When I was trying to use the CVI sample server I was entering the wrong port number.
The reason I entered the wrong port was because the hard-coded port number in the muRata demo code was displayed in hex as 0x9069. ( I converted this to decimal and entered it into the CVI sample server code) The correct port number was 0x6990. (upper and lower bytes swapped) Arrgh!
I found the problem by using the netstat command line utility to display the connections and noted that the port being used was not 0x9069. It is really a problem with the muRata eval kit demo code.
Second,
Humphrey you are right about the CVI sample code not handling all the muRata commands for the client end of the connection that communicates with the SN8200 module. For my test I was using the muRata code for that "end".
The server end is simple and the CVI sample is adequate and is now working.
Thank you to all who took the time to browse my questions,
Kirk

Headstart 6i - no client/server support?

Hello,
I have received today list of some new features of Headstart 6i (Beta supposed to be available this week).
In the new features list, here what it is wrote:
<<Because of known issues associated with running Forms 6i in a client-server environment, Headstart 6i will not be certified for client-server deployment. Applications can still be deployed client-server, but Headstart will not attempt to identify and overcome client-server specific issues.>>
Is someone have heard about these "known issues" in client/server?
Thank you
Jean

The problems are GUI issues.
The basic problem is this:
Headstart can either be optimized to display in Webforms with the Oracle Look and Feel, or it can be optimized to display in client-server mode. You can't do both at the same time. Since we had to pick one or the other, we chose the Webforms OLAF GUI settings.
You can customize the template package to revert to the client-server GUI settings if you like. This basically involves changes to the visual attributes in the object library, removing the use of the keyword 'automatic' and setting actual colors for foreground color, background color and fill pattern.
There are also problems with displaying the menu and Smartbar. You should remove the icons that are displayed in the menu. If an entire menu group is disabled, the associated icons on the Smartbar disappear instead of greying out (no workaround).
There might also be other GUI issues. As stated, we have not tried to identify or resolve these issues.
Regards,
Lauri
