Install Forms FT Helper Failure

Question

Hi All,
We were finally successful in installing OATS on the same computer in which HP QTP is already installed.
OpenScript records fine when the module is Web .
For a new script when I selected the Oracle EBS/Forms module and tried recording I get the below error upon clicking the Start Recording button.
I think there is some conflict between OATS & QTP.
Any workaround to solve this issue is greatly appreciated.
PS:QTP works fine with Forms applications as before.

Answer 1

I was able to “disable” the HP QTP tool that disallowed OpenScript to function correctly in Oracle EBS/Forms. Here are the steps taken to perform that:
1.     Click on the Start Menu > Right Click on Computer > Click Properties
2.     On the left column, click Advanced system settings
3.     Towards the bottom right of the new window, click Environment Variables
4.     Under the Systems Variable header, we will need to find the following variables: JAVAOPTIONS+, IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS and JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS.
5.     Double click on each one and append ‘+_bak+’ to the end of each (i.e JAVAOPTIONS+ will now be JAVAOPTIONS_bak+).
6.     When finished, click OK on this window
7.     Click Apply and then OK on the next window
8.     Restart OpenScript.
Now we are able to use OpenScript for Forms. This probably breaks QTP for the time being but we will rename these variables back to their original values when QTP is finally installed.
Rationale behind the fix: When QTP was installed, it needed special instructions for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in order to properly parse and recognize the Oracle EBS/Forms (which are written in Java). By adding these new variables, you see that they are simply flags that direct the JVM to use HP’s assembler for the JVM (file name: jasmine.jar). By renaming these, we are reverting the JVM back to using the original assembler built in to Java.
I will continue to do further testing to ensure that the changing of these variables haven’t broken anything else but as of now, the problem is resolved and I have regained the ability to record and playback Oracle EBS/Forms.
