HST6i, Client/Server env. Forms runtime crash!

We successfuly instaled HSD6i on Forms Server. But we also need to run forms on client/server environment.
When I start HSU or generated app. in Forms Runtime (ver 6.0.8.11.3) and do nothing other than navigate from menu to form 'Users' for example, form opens but the very
next time whole runtime environment dissaper (crash with no error message).
How can I manage this problem?

I changed all 'automatic' to <unspecified> but my forms are still crashing with access violation at uiw60.dll. It seems that only forms with item groups though. I also found another posting here by Ivica Coric about "Problem with Item Groups" where people mentioned forms with item groups would crash. It seems that this is my problem. But changing 'automatic' to something else still doesn't solve my problem. Any ideas? Thanks.

Uros,
I have discovered what makes this happen. As you have read in the the install guide, you need to change a number of properties in the object library. Specifically, the color "Automatic", which is very useful in webforms, is problematic on client/server.
Because most items in the generated forms subclass from the object library, you would ideally only need to recreate the fmx files and be rid of the "Automatics".
Unfortunately, there's one place where the generator uses the object library properties, but DOES NOT SUBCLASS BUT COPIES these properties into the generated forms. This happens with boilerplate graphics that result from item group decorations, and then only when the item group decoration has a prompt! Here the color of the CG$TITLE visual attribute is used, but not subclassed. This also explains why you solved it by regenerating the problematic forms.
To solve this for the applications you cannot regenerate, open the fmbs, navigate to the Canvas, and then to the Graphics. You'll find the culprit there soon enough.
Kind regards,

Running 9i Form in client server env

I have instaled Oracle 9i DS on Win NT.
I have created a form using 9i form.
When i run the form it get a message "FRM-10142 - HTTP listener is not running on xyz machine at port 8888"
This means that my form will run in a web based (thin client) env where as i want to create an application that is suppose to run in a client server env not on web browsers.
Please guide me how can this me done.
I am a new one to oracle DS. your help will be a good start for me

Forms 9i only runs on the web - it does not provide a way or running applications client server

Forms Runtime crashes when installing on clients (W95)

I'm trying to test my application which has been created with Developer 2000. Forms only, no reports or anything else yet.
It is my understanding that all I have to do is install the FORMS RUNTIME item from the developer CD. If this is wrong, please correct me. My problem is when it gets a small portion of the way through the install, it crashes - why and how do I fix this? My error is a GPF, 'Orainst caused an invalid page fault in module kernel32.dll'. This happens on every machine so far, all Windows 95B.
Any advice is appreciated.

I finally callled Oracle Tech Support and figured out my problem. Thought I'd post it in case anyone else has this trouble. I had the Ora8i client installed because my app was originally VB & used ODBC drivers etc.
I uninstalled every Oracle component on my machine.
Physically deleted the Oracle folders from C: and from C:\Program Files
In Regedit I physically deleted the two Oracle keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE and HKEY_LOCAL_USER/SOFTWARE.
Reinstalled the forms runtime files using the default Oracle Home (which it requires). Then installed Net80 components to enable communication with my database.
So far so good.

FORMS runtime crashes with tabpages

Hi,
I use Forms6i with tab canvases. At runtime when I want to go to another tab page, forms immediatly crashes. I use Windows 2000 as a client PC.
can anyone help?
regards
Michel

What version of Forms are you on since the base release is not certified on W2K - only the patched versions.
Also do you get this in a simple case - i.e. it could be something in your application/coding/layout which is causing the problem

My Prompt back ground colour changes during run time in Client / Server Env

Dear Friends, 
 My Prompt of text items are changing its back ground colour according to the Text item's back colour during runtime. This doesn't look good. My look and feel of my application gets spoiled due to this. I tried with Visual Attribute (both prompt & Text item) but of no use. I don't want to use text label as I want to change the prompt during run time. Please help me.

My version of forms is Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.8.0 (Production).


Dear Kevin,
Yes I agree with you, but in my case as this application supports bilingual (English & Arabic), I want to change the prompt of the text at run time. Can I change the text of boilerplate text at runtime?
Thank you for your reply.

WARNING - Oracle intends to desupport Forms client server mode

When Forms 6i becomes desupported you will have to move to Forms 9i. Forms 9i runtime can only be run in web mode from a web browser. You will not be able to run client-server forms in native operating systems such as Windows or Unix. The forms will essentially run on the application server with Java applets to being sent to your web browser. Links to third party products will no longer work with host commands executing on your local machine. You will have to include Java code to make local commands work.
The transition from Forms 6i client-server to Forms 9i web mode will be one of the most painful upgrades Oracle has ever inflicted on its customers.
Essentially, Oracle is trying to palm us off with running forms from web browsers whether we or our customers like it or not. Java seems to be creeping in. I suspect Developer will eventually turn into JDeveloper, as they will not want to support two products. Easy one line statements and built-ins will be replaced by hundreds of lines of Java nonsense. Developer will move from a 4GL RAD environment to a cumbersome bloated 3GL Java environment.
You can stop this happening if you want to keep you customers happy by:
1. Sending Oracle enhancement requests to allow Forms 9i to run in native client-server mode.
2. Complaining to your Oracle sales contact.
3. Asking difficult questions at Oracle user groups.

Duncan et al.,
I've been wondering why exactly a Forms9i app. needs to run in a web page? Why could the applet not be deployed in a more "standalone" fashion, i.e., an independent application window. This would at least offer the appearance of a native application, complete with the new Java look-and-feel.
If Oracle really wanted make their customers happy, they would then take the next step and come up with a way to embed OC4J into a client-side deployment executable, which would then effectively allow for a 2-tier client-server architecture.
It seems to me that 2-tier/3-tier each have their place in the world, depending on the situation. In the extreme "2-tier" example would be an application that is to be deployed on a single client workstation. It would be hard to argue that a separate application server ought to be used. On the other extreme, anybody who has tried to manage the deployment--and upgrade--of a large number of Forms clients is very attracted to the prospect of only having to maintain and upgrade a few application servers.
I agree with the direction of the product as far as replacing Toolkit2 and the native runtime with the JRE. The advantage of on-demand updating of application code is compelling. The capability of moving application logic to the middle tier is extremely useful. Platform independence is now done using the "universal" JRE instead of TK2.
If the product could maintain the client-side processing capability--without resorting to Javabeans--it would be just that much stronger. As an application architect, I want to be able to design the application to allocate the work where it makes the most sense, either on the client, the application server, or the database server.
How hard would it be to put this client-side processing capability back into the product?

Bruce MacDonald

Forms 5 Runtime crashes when using wheel mouse

Hi,
We get Invalid Page Faults when using a wheel mouse in Forms
(Forms 5.0.6.8.0). When scrolling up to the first record the
message 'At first record' occurs. Then we get a ORA-00001 error
(!?), followed by the invalid page fault and forms runtime
crashes. Other actions (scrolling down, scrolling up, but not to
first record) work fine. I suppose there exist a patch to solve
this problem, but I wasn't able to find it. Could someone please
help me ?
Thanks.
Koen

Crashing is normal Forms 5 behavior. Why should a wheel mouse
make it better? :-)
If you use Patch 10 (get it on metalink) for D2K Forms 5 on
Windows (and a good mouse driver), this problem is almost gone.
But be warned:
Patch 10 introduces other more serious bugs (serious printing
problems with HP printer, and such funny things as mysterious
disappearing items items in large forms ... we stopped the
rollout of Patch 19 half the way) , and these bugs
will never be fixed 'cause D2K R2.1 is desupported since
december 1999.
So choose your fate.

BTW: There is a Patch 11, but it is not worth downloading.

From client/server forms 6i to ... what?

I'm a developer who comes from the world of client/server oracle forms 6 vs Oracle 8i database, so I feel a bit lost in this web and 10g mess (maybe the mess was the prior 6i).
I'm stuck manteining an application in that architecture, but I'd like to reach for the state of the art in oracle, so I downloaded and installed this xe edition (which was surprisingly easy!) for redhat.
Now I would like to know where to go next, and this step I suppose is to try to generate a form and make it run against this new database. Here come my questions:
1. Is it possible to run forms against 10g xe? What do I have to install for this forms being served via web? Do they have to be generated with developer suite 10g?
2. Why isn't there options in the apex admin system for creating tablespaces and datafiles? Is this version limitated to the default USERS tablespace?
3. This one is more ... phillosophical: Are oracle forms and reports a technology which is "endangered" in front of java or others? Would you recommend me not to keep going with forms and reports as my future development tools?
PD: I apologize for the possible offtopic and also for my english.

Forms Client/Server is out of support, and pretty much dead.
Forms via an Application Server is alive and Oracle's position is that it isn't going away but will get more integrated with Java. However the general view is it isn't a technology that people are using to build new applications.
Java/ADF Faces/JSF/JDeveloper is one of the approaches for front end application building.
Application Express (Apex) is another.
They each have advantages and disadvantages, and what the job market will be like for those skill sets is debatable (though obviously Apex is purely an oracle skillset)

Oracle Form Runtime (bug)

Hi guys..
I have created an application composed by 5/6 forms. I created a .BAT file that launches the main MENU form, that has all the related buttons wich call the other modules of the application. NOw the issue is the seguent, if I install the forms on the local machine I have no problems at all. But instead, if I install them on a server pc, I begin having very strange problems. For example, my main MENU forms gets launched without any issues, I press the first button on the main menu and my application starts, if I exit and then press another button, it literally EXPLODES. The forms runtime crashes and creates a DUMP file. Now the strange thing is that it doens't do it on every PC.
Do you guys know anything about this ?

Could it be that you have lot of other programs running in the server so there is not enough memory to run forms.
Just curious, why are you using a combination of version 5 and version 6 forms?
From your main form, are you calling both version 5 and version 6 fmx files?

Forms Runtime Hangs

We have recently upgrades some of our client workstations to Forms&Reports 6i and are having a problem on a few of the client workstations since the upgrade. When the user runs our client application the Forms Runtime window pops up and just hangs, then the workstation locks up and we have to force a reboot, can not even kill using task manager. Even after the reboot the same problem occurs and I have to reinstall patch 12 to fix but this fix is only temporary as the problem again comes back after a while. To give a brief back ground the clients are running NT4 Wrkstn SP6a, Oracle Forms & Reports Runtime 6i patch 12, connecting to a 9i DB. Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I'm sorry, should have been more specific. We are running client\server not web. Before the upgrade we were running Forms&Reports 4.5 and everything was stable. The funny thing is that we have upgraded 50 client workstations and only (2) are experiencing this problem. I have tried completely removing the Oracle software and reinstalling on both workstations but this has not helped.

Distributing runtime client/server forms?

I know C/S forms is not supported any more, but C/S forms runtime doesn't require a client license and that is still an advantage.
I want to know if there is some way to create an installation package, that could be distributed to customers and included the forms/reports runtime along the application forms/reports executables, so the customers don't have to buy a forms license.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Damisetty,
How have you handled when installing in different versions of Windows, i.e. if you prepare the installation on Windows 2000 does it work for installing on Windows XP or the other way around?
Besides the technical issue, there is the licensing issue, have you used this method for customers that just buy the DB, without forms?
Could any of the Oracle folks throw some light on the subject?
Regards.

hi
How to get up and running with WebUtil 1.06 included with Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 on a win32 platform
Solution
Assuming a fresh "Complete" install of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2,
here are steps to get a small test form running, using WebUtil 1.06.
Note: Oracle_Home is used as an alias for your real oDS ORACLE_HOME.
Feel free to copy this note to a text editor, and do a global find/replace on
Oracle_Home with your actual value (no trailing slash). Then it is easy to
copy/paste actual commands to be executed from the note copy.
1) Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
2) Copy or move jacob.jar and jacob.dll
C:\webutile is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
cd C:\webutile
copy jacob.jar Oracle_Home\forms\java\.
copy jacob.dll Oracle_Home\forms\webutil\.
The Jacob staging area is no longer needed, and may be deleted.
3) Sign frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar
Open a DOS command prompt.
Add Oracle_Home\jdk\bin to the PATH:
set PATH=Oracle_Home\jdk\bin;%PATH%
Sign the files, and check the output for success:
Oracle_Home\forms\webutil\sign_webutil Oracle_Home\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
Oracle_Home\forms\webutil\sign_webutil Oracle_Home\forms\java\jacob.jar
4) If you already have a schema in your RDBMS which contains the WebUtil stored code,
you may skip this step. Otherwise,
Create a schema to hold the WebUtil stored code, and privileges needed to
connect and create a stored package. Schema name "WEBUTIL" is recommended
for no reason other than consistency over the user base.
Open Oracle_Home\forms\create_webutil_db.sql in a text editor, and delete or comment
out the EXIT statement, to be able to see whether the objects were created witout
errors.
Start SQL*Plus as SYSTEM, and issue:
CREATE USER webutil IDENTIFIED BY [password]
DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
GRANT CONNECT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO webutil;
CONNECT webutil/webutil@rcci
@Oracle_Home\forms\create_webutil_db.sql
-- Inspect SQL*Plus output for errors, and then
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM webutil_db FOR webutil.webutil_db;
Reconnect as SYSTEM, and issue:
grant execute on webutil_db to public;
5) Modify Oracle_Home\forms\server\default.env, and append Oracle_Home\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
to the CLASSPATH entry.
6) Modify Oracle_Home\forms\server\formsweb.cfg insde [default] add :
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar
archive=frmall.jar
also add :
[webutil]
WebUtilLogging=off
WebUtilLoggingDetail=normal
WebUtilErrorMode=Alert
WebUtilDispatchMonitorInterval=5
WebUtilTrustInternal=true
WebUtilMaxTransferSize=16384
baseHTMLjinitiator=webutiljini.htm
baseHTMLjpi=webutiljpi.htm
baseHTML=webutilbase.htm
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar
WebUtilArchive=frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar,f90all.jar
archive=frmwebutil.jar,f90all.jar
lookAndFeel=oracle
7) Modify Oracle_Home\forms\server\webutil.cfg and add :
transfer.database.enabled=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.enabled=TRUE
8) Start the OC4J instance
9) Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
It is important to generate the PLX, to avoid the FRM-40039 discussed in Note 303682.1
If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
10) Create a new FMB.
Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
Add an ON-LOGON trigger with the code
NULL;
to avoid having to connect to an RDBMS (optional).
Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
show_webutil_information (TRUE);
in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
11) Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
the "Application Server URL" is empty.
Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
12) Run your form.

Can we run oracle Forms 5 Application with 10G in Client/Server?

Hi All,
Can we run oracle Forms 5 Application with 10G in Client/Server
Mode?
Regards
Gaurav

In theory you can run it 2 tier - which means that you have the client (the machine the user is sitting at) being the same machine in which the forms application server is running. So yes. But specifically, we don't support a client server runtime anymore. 6i was the last version.
With 10g you will be running through a browser.

Forms 9i / Report 9i in client server vs Discover Desktop

Hi,
I would like to know how I can deploy an application (forms 9i and reports 9i) without 9iAS Enterprise.
I only want to develop forms and reports for a standalone user. I want to sell my application to many customers, each customer will use the application in standalone mode.
Somebody at Oracle Toronto told me that Discover Desktop is the runtime of oracle forms 9i and oracle reports 9i in client/server mode. Is it right?
I want to run a stand alone application at the lowest cost, without buying the licences of IAS Entreprise (who cost 560$CDN X 10 licences minimum). Oracle said Discover Desktop cost 1400$CDN/user and I can buy only one license.
Is it possible to use Discover Desktop as runtime of forms and reports?
Is there an other possibility to run forms and reports application at a lower cost?
What do you suggest to me?
Thanks.

To run Forms and Reports you must be running 9iAS Enterprise edition. The licence for those products is part of EE only not any other edition of iAS
