How to deploy forms on oracle portal

Hello everybody
I developed some forms in a client/server mode,recently I installed O9iAS(minimal edition(including HTTPserver and oracle portal)).I would like to use those forms on the internet.Its not very clear to me what I am supposed to do next.Can I install form server on the node which is currently running O9iAS?(portal and HTTP server),is it necessary to do a fresh installation of O9iAS(enterprise edition,which includes form server?).I would also appreciate any help regarding necessary configuration tips.
Best Rgds

your best bet would be to do a full install of Oracle9iAS. This will install the Forms server for you and configure everything. It will save you a lot of configuration probems.

How to deploy form on oracle http server

Hi!
I am sitting on windows XP professional
I have created a simple index.html page. There is a link to my form (http://lki:8889/forms/frmservlet?config=zodynas)
My index.html page is deployed on http:\\lki:90 . When i click a link i get a message that the page was not found. When i open my index page from my computer everything works.
Thanks! I am looking forwart to hearing from you.

I'm going to guess and say that you are using Developer Suite based on your reference to port 8889. Assuming this is true, did you start OC4J? If so, a DOS window will open - do NOT close this window as it will terminate OC4J.
Also, what happens if you open a browser and enter the Forms URL directly?

Integrating apex form with oracle portal

Afternoon friends,
I have got a senario like integrating apex form with oracle portal.I dont have any idea on oracle portals.so please let me know the basic steps on how to go ahead to integrate apex forms with oracle portal and for that what i need to have apart with my database and apex.

Hello
Couldn't see my previous post... so here it is again
We have integrated Apex into Oracle Portal
Here's how we did it.
In the portal page, we have created an Element region with the following code:
<script language="Javascript">
   
</script>
<p><iframe width="100%" height="500" frameborder="0" onload="javascript: changeIframeHeight();" src="/pls/apex/f?p=115:10" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" name="apexIframe" id="apexIframe"></iframe></p>You just have to make sure that the name and id of the iFrame and the elementId in the javascript are the same.
And change the SRC so that it point you application.
Hope that helped you.

Search form to Oracle PortalAS

hello,
what is the best and fast practice to create a search form to oracle portal..?

If I read your requirements correct, you want end users to be able to search in data within database tables - right?
The search portlets will not help you in this case as they only search content in Oracle Portal, i.e. text items, file items etc. It will not go into the database and query tables.
If you only need to search one table, you might want to play around with a Portal report. You can personalize the report to allow end users to use conditional statements on each of the columns in your table.

How to call a form in Oracle Portal?

I'm trying to call a form from my corporate Oracle Portal. Can anyone advice me how to do it?
Thanks and Regards.

Alex,
you are not providing enough information, making it not easy to provide a short answer without going down the whole tree of possibilities.
Case1: You want it appear as a link in Oracle Portal.
a) You can use the "myfavorite" portlet, which is a kind of bookmark list that can be managed by each user individually.
b) you ca create a content area and make it to appear as a type URL. Then you define it as a portlet.
c) You create a HTML page with all the forms links in it and use the URLServices portlet or teh HTML portlet
Case2: You want it to appear within the portal as a portlet.
In this case you choose the URL Services. URL services are a part of the Portal Development Kit and in there a part of the Java Portal Development kit.
It is not recommended to integrate Forms as a Portlet in Portal (CASE2) but to start it from a link (CASE 1) for this reasons:
- http accept-header misses Browser type information information
- Forms startup time slows down portal page startup
- SSO doesn't work straight away
- Forms9i, because based on java 1.3, will reload Forms when reloading the portal page, loosing the application context (this is not yet an issue with Forms6i).
Of course, you can have it working as a portlet and I did it in the past, but it will require some work to do that is not yet documented (and probably never will).
Cheers
Frank

Hi,
You can find many articles on oracle site for this subject.
However in brief following are the steps
1) Create a directory source,executables,images,reports and logfiles.
2) Copy all your forms, menus and pll's in source directory
3) All your images in your image directory
4) All your reports in reports directory
5) All yuor fmx,mmx and plx in executables directory
6) Any log files in logfiles directory
7) Add path of images and executables directory in FORMS_PATH in default.env
8) Configure your formsweb.cfg as your need.
9) Configure report.conf and rwservlet.properties according to your applications.
10) Make jar of icons say myicons.jar.
11) copy myicons.jar in forms/java directory
12) Check yuor form services if they are running or not.
13) Invoke the URL in internet explorer
http://<ip_address>:<port_no>/forms/frmservlet?form=testform.fmx
I think that's enough from my side.. For more info you can go through the documentation.

How to deploy forms? Or: FRM-92101 on Forms 10g (10.1.2.0.2)

Hello,
we have a problem with deploying changed FMX-Files.
We work with an OAS 10.1.2.0.2 and the Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2. The Compilation works fine with frmcmp_batch.sh on the server (Linux X86).
And these Files are accessible within the JInitiator-Applet. All fine.
But now there's the problem: If anyone has opened a FMX-File within JInitiator and this FMX-File is compiled again, the compilation is successful but the access on this form is not. The user only get an error
FRM-92101: There was a failure in the Forms Server during startup. This could happen due to invalid configuration.
Please look into the web-server log file for detatails.
Details...
Java Exception:
oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException: Forms.session <46> aborted: unable to communicate with runtime process.
at ...
I remember, there was an equivalent problem under 9i and the solution there was to set the FORMS90_MMAP-Variable. Under 10g there is no such setting. (and this is clearly no solution)
Now my question: There had to be a way to treat this problem. And all of the Forms-Developer had to have the same problem. I would be very happy if anybody could tell here how to deploy correctly.
Many thanks in advance,
Ralf

Yes, indeed.
We want to change fmx-files in a running installation because the functionality of the forms have to change, errors have to be corrected and so on.
I read the suggestions in Note 286762.1, but honestly I think it is to complicated in a development team to handle with two or more directories and to make clear, which one is the production-directory
I think this could not be the only possibility.
We thought about this:
- we have a development directory, a "waiting" directory and a productivity-directory.
The process could be:
- compiling in the development directory
- checking, if the fmx-file is in use (with lsof)
- if the fmx-file is in use, the fmx-file will be transferred into the "waiting" directory
- it the fmx-file is not in use, it will be transferred into the productivity-directory
- in regular intervalls a job has to test, if the files in the "waiting" directory are freed. If so they will be transferred, else not.
Only if changes are needed to do immediately (e.g. heavily errors), the fmx-file can be moved manually in the productivity-directory.
But this is only our idea. I thought there has to be a standard deployment-strategy from Oracle or better ideas from other developers.
Perhaps someone has a even better suggestion for us.
Many thanks in advance for every idea,
Ralf

How to deploy fmx to Oracle AS

Good afternoon, I need help !!
I created a program using form 10g, and tested it using OC4J (startinst.bat ).
After I got .fmx, the next step I want to deploy it using oracle Application Server 10g, but I don't know how to do it ?
I tried to find the document about deployment at form "online help", but It did not say anything, and I read the document in Oracle AS they never said about .FMX !!!
If somebody can help what the step to deploy form and report to the web or what document should I read for very very beginner.
Thank you very much guru.
Regards,

Hi ,
It's very simple..!!!!
Open the file formsweb.cfg found in [Application_Server_Home]\forms\server.
Then go to the end of the file where you can named configuration alias for your application....
For example... assuming that you have a form start.fmx located in D:\OAS_Deployed_Files\First_App
Then , on your formsweb.cfg you have to set the following:
[TEST]
workingDirectory=D:\OAS_Deployed_Files\First_App
form=D:\OAS_Deployed_Files\First_App
\start.fmx
Of course you can in this named configuration TEST other params , such as userid , as well. You can consult your Application Server Documentation for such info....!!!!
The named configuration can be set also , by using the Application Server Console ...
After setting any config parameters , you save and close the file formsweb.cfg.
You restart the forms service and then you write on the web address...
http://<your oas server name>:<port_number>/forms/frmservlet?config=TEST

Simon
