Installing forms server 6i

as seen on Note:104020.1
when you install according to this procedure it should ask something about the webdb listener, but i didn't get this message.
can someone help me?

Gert,
do you have WebDB listener at all on your machine. If I remember right then we don't add the WebDB listener to Forms6i anymore because we are using Oracle9iAS as a HTTP server. However, the base release of Forms6i still should have the WebDB listener.

Installing Forms Server on Windows 2000

We installed Forms Server 6i on Windows 2000. We completed the installation successfully. When we clicked on the 'Run the Form on the Web.', it gives 'This page cannot be displayed.' error. We tried this twice, but getting same error.
Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
VL.

Do you have your web server installed too?
forms server works in conjunction with your web server.
Make sure you have done the following...
Web server is listening on port 80
Forms server is running in HTTP mode. ( You may need to stop and restart the forms service in win2000 if you change this from socket in the registry )
You must also set up your virtual directorys on your web server. I used the microsoft internet information server that comes with win2000. It's an add on component on the disk. Oracle would suggest you use Oracle 9i application server ( Which is rebadged Apache )
Forms server is running on port 9000. Also set in the registry.
You also edit the in the formsweb.cfg file in <ORACLE_HOME>\forms60\server
Make sure HTTP mode is set in this too. You can also change various params such as the applet size etc. I would recommend the Oracle look and feel and run in separate windows options.
All the forms tester does is run a bit of cgi which will dynamically change the base HTML file in <ORACLE_HOME>\forms60\sever.
You will notice there is one file which is baseie and basejint. The cgi will choose to use the one depending on if you choose to use jinitiator or ie50=native.
When you go live can maually edit these files depending on what java viutual machine you choose. You can place this file in your web site root as defaut.htm or whatever you want and it will serve you app without using the cgi html generator.
Sorry if parts of this you know but it took me weeks of work to set this up. The Oracle documentation is not very well put together.
I have read nearly every line of the damn stuff.
Please e-mail me if you have any queries as I may have not made sense in places.

Why can i install forms server properly in windows xp?

I guess i haven't installed FORMS SERVER properly, because in my \developer\bin\ i cant find "ifsrv60.exe"
the installation prompts me that if i have OEM (oracle enterprise manager) (which i think is ORACLE 9.2 ENTERPRISE EDITION) i should select NO, to avoid creating that service... so i always choose "NO".
I've tried choosing "YES" twice, even in SAFE MODE, and it crashes, saying something about "ifsrv60.exe -install"...and something about a "spawn" or something.
i wanna test if all works but without my "forms server" i guess i cant test it right? what should i do?
also, when installing i chose "server installation", then "web deployment" and then "single computer".
help me out

Hi
There is a special version for windows XP i dont remember the exact number right now but you have to install from that specific cd and plus you need to install patches 13.
If i understand you correctly, you are not able to connect to database? if so, you need to configure the tnsnames.ora file. you can use the Net8 easy config from start/programs/$oraclehome$.
or you can manually set it from Oraclehome$\net80\admin\tnsnames.ora
set it as:
<service name> =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <machine name)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = <SID>))
I suggest you de-install everything you have installed previously, and start fresh.
Hope this helps
Regards
Tony

SOS I am in trouble Installing Forms Server on Windows 2000 Server

I need advice on installation of Forms Server on Windows 2000 Server. Is Forms Server only meant for Windows NT. Since Windows 2000 Server is an extention of Windows NT there could be a way out which I am not aware of. On installation of Forms Server I get message that Forms Server components can work only on Windows NT 4.0 Service pack 5 or higher. Please Help
Thankyou

Hi,
Did not try W2000 Adv Server.
However...Forms Server 6i runs on W2000 Pro in combination with patch1

Multiple Forms Server on same machine

Currently I'm running a development forms server instance on a Sun SPARC server. The client would like to have a QA environment set up on the same server.
Must I install Forms Server to another, separate home directory?
Has anyone else tried this? The development and QA user population is small; < 25 in total.
Thanks,

How use form server

i install form server
when i use run form web icon in object navigator
i see this error message:
FRM-18121: The JavaBean does not implement the IView interface.
Cause: For Forms to use this JavaBean, it must implement
Oracle Forms IView interface.
Action: Implement Oracle Forms oracle.forms.ui.IView
Interface.
i cant understand please help me.

shoja.

If this is 6i it's because you have not installed the Forms server component. This might also happen if you are in a Windows platform such as Win95/98 that does not support the Forms Server - you need NT or 2000

How Oracle forms server 6i run on web?(Configuration)

hi all,
I want to run oracle forms on web.
For that,
I installed forms server 6i.
I installed forms developer 6i.
which web server i have to install?
What are the configuration required for that both (Web Server and Forms Server)?
can u give me suggestion step by step.
thanx in advance
regards,
dhaval lodha

Hi,
Forms Server uses the WebDB Listener for the web access.
Since then we improved Forms Services to use the Oracle HTTP Listener in Oracle Application Server. Oracle Applicaqtion Server also is the only supported application server for Forms on the web.

Oracle forms server implementation on single machine

I am using windows xp on my system.
can I run the developer 6i forms .FMX file from browser (internet explorer), after installing oracle forms server??
which operating system should we use to implement forms server.
while installing form server on windows xp a message was displayed like 'some files can be installed on
windows NT only'. I am not sure wheather the forms server will work on windows xp?
My requirement is I want to run the .FMX file from Internet explorer in my system i.e using single machine.
plz clarify.
with thanks
GMS

can I run the developer 6i forms .FMX file from browser (internet explorer), after installing oracle forms server??The answer is yes if you can get it to install.
I think you will need a FQHN (Host name with DNS).
which operating system should we use to implement forms server?We used Linux, Red Hat 4 AS, But I think you could use Windows 2003 with that version. I would avoid Windows NT at this point.
I have no information on using XP, I'm pretty sure I would not. I would use a server OS.

Help me please!

Only Forms 6i rel 2 with Patch 13 onwards is certified on Windows XP.

Installation forms server alone

I want to install forms server and its dependencies only. How can I do that. My 9iAS is version 1.0.2.2.2.
Thanks in advance.

In neither 9i AS Release 1 or 2 does Oracle support a simple install such as that. You will have to install the whole "BI" package and 120 or so other products... Of course if you have the time and can afford to not stay in the supported lane, there should be somewhere on the installation media the install files for plain ol' Developer (Forms and Reports) Server 6i, v6.0.8.
As always, would love to hear some comments, thoughts etc from Oracle about this.

Help... I need help to install a server for my form to run on web

Hi there,
I installed a New server with Windows 2003.
I have some oracle forms developed using 6i, I don't mind to convert them later.
What other oracle 10g software I need to install to have my oracle forms and reports to run on web?
I tried to install in this sequence but not working:-
1- windows 2003
2- IIS
3- Oracle Developer Suite
Then I removed IIS and installed the Oracle SOA Application server also still cannot.
What did I do wrong or what should I install (I meant by sequence?)
Please advise.
Thank you

Why installing IIS o_O?
For Installing a developer Machine just install Oracle Developer suite; for testing your forms you use OC4J ("start OC4J instance" in start menu), and you can run your forms in web; no need for a aditional webserver (don't believe there's an OC4J connector for IIS available; and if so I wouldn't use it either ;-))
For Installing a server for "productional" use install Oracle Application Server (available on otn) which comes with an Apache as webserver and all the other needful things for runnung forms on the web.
For configuring both of them just take a look at the documentations on http://otn.oracle.com

Installing forms 11gr2 services on windows server 2008 r2 64 bit

hello,
I successfully installed on windows 7 64 bit my developer forms & reports 11gR2 with weblogic 10.3.5 , jdk 1.6.0_+.
Now i want to install in it in windows server 2008 R2 64bit, to deploy the application i created as a test.
Question.
1. Can I used the same installation set up , step, procedure as the development mode by only changing the installation mode to production mode in windows 2008R2?
1.1 Do I need to create domain first after install the weblogic or it is like the development mode that the FRM_installation will create its classic domain?
2. Can I used it without the fusion middleware?
3. It is compatible version for forms 11gr2 for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0) ? << doubted not compatible.
4. It is valid if i only install weblogic server 10.3.5 without the fusion middleware? Am I or other clients can able to access it?
5. It is will be a AS server even if without the repository creation?
Note : i only need the forms&report server services to run our application on windows server 2008 R2 64 bit and compile respectedly.
I ve done it with OAS 10g before but different procedures now since forms 11gr2 is using now weblogic server.
Thank you very much.

... i want to install in it ... , to deploy the application i created as a test If you chose the "Development" install option during the installation of 11.1.2 you would have everything you needed to run your form. The only significant difference between the Dev and Deploy installation is the that in the Dev install type the Forms and Reports Servlets are deployed into the Admin server Managed server rather than creating a unique one for each. For local testing purposes, this should be sufficient for most cases. If on the other hand you need a full installation (Deployment), I would recommend that you choose this option, but be sure to also include the Builders. The Builders are available for both install types. I would not recommend attempting to have both install types installed together although it likely can be done. Having both installed would likely create confusion and difficulty during troubleshooting.
Important point. If you choose the Deployment option and include the Builders during that installation, you do not need to start everything in order to run a form. All that is needed is WLS_FORMS. All other processes can be stopped if system resources is a concern. For an actual production deployment, it is recommended that you route end-user requests through HTTP Server, but this is not required unless you plan to use SSO or other feature that is managed through HTTP Server.

Forms Server Install on Redhat Linux 7.0

I am attempting to install Forms6i/Reports6i/Graphics6i on my Linux Box.
I already have a 8.1.6 Database configured and running.
After downloading the tar file and extracting it I am having trouble with the installation of the software. The Guide refers to running the orainstal shell script in the orinstall directory. Well when I execute the script I get a Character Installer and I was expecting the Java based Gui Installer such as the one with Oracle 8i DB. I cannot get the oraviewer program to work either for I wanted to see if there were some other setting I am not executing correctly.
When I continue with the Char Installer it has trouble finding a lib called X11m.a or something (Motif related).
Does Forms 6i require Motif? If so where and how do I get it for my Linux box? Are there any work arounds for this.
Any help is greatly apprecicated.
Thanks

Hello Shawn,
Yes, you need motif libraries. You can obtain it for free from: http://www.metrolink.com/products/Motif/download.html
I installed both runtime and development packages.
Aditionally you may ned to have X-devel packages installed.
After struggling with Forms installation on my linux machine I managed to do this, but let me tell you that it's not so simple. First of all please excuse my bad English, I'm not a native speaker. Anyway that's how I did it.
I assume that you downloaded the file d2k6irelease2.tar from technet. This file includes Forms 6i rel. 2 Server and Developer.
I managed to install this on my RedHat 7.1 machine having already installed Oracle 8.1.7 database Server.
First of I created a separate user which owns Forms Server software. I set this user as belonging to the same group ("dba" in my case) as the oracle database software owner. (On my machine I have "oracle" user which owns databse server belonging to the "dba" group and "forms" user belonging also to the "dba" group). You must set your environment like this (in ".bash-profile" in my case):
-- Begin .bash_profile file
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
unset LANG
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc
ORACLE_BASE=/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/forms
ORACLE_SID=forms
ORACLE_AUTOREG=$ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk60/admin
TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
ORACLE_TERM=vt220
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib
TWO_TASK=oratest
MMTK_AVIPLAYER="xanim %s &"
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
DISPLAY=TEST_MACHINE:0.0
export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME LD_LIBRARY_PATH TWO_TASK MMTK_AVIPLAYER
export TNS_ADMIN DISPLAY ORACLE_AUTOREG ORACLE_TERM ORACLE_SID
export BASH_ENV PATH
unset USERNAME
-- End .bash_profile file
As you can see I set up ORACLE_BASE to the same ORACLE_BASE as database software ORACLE_BASE, a new ORACLE_HOME, a dummy ORACLE_SID, TWO_TASK to the sid of your 8.1.6 server instance, TNS_ADMIN pointing to a directory which I created manually before starting the installer (see below my "tnsnames.ora" file under this manually created directory), ORACLE_AUTOREG, ORACLE_TERM, DISPLAY set to your_hostname:0.0, LD_LIBRARY_PATH as seen, MMTK_AVIPLAYER is for playing ".avi' files (I didn't tried this). You may need to "chmod 775" on your $ORACLE_HOME directory from the database user account.
-- Begin "tnsnames.ora" file
ORATEST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = TEST_MACHINE)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = oratest)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
-- End "tnsnames.ora" file
I untared d2k6irelease2.tar under a subdirectory created under "forms" home directory. In "unixdoc/Server" directory you will find linux_svr.pdf instructions for installation of Forms server and under "unixdoc/Developer" you will find linux_dev.pdf instructions for Developer Server. "oraview" didn't worked for me either. GUI installer didn't worked for me either. Chnaging to orainst you may issue ./orainst command and start the installation in character mode (I did not even started an X session). I choosed default install, do not create database objects (I think you will be able to install later this objects by running some sql scripts, I didn't). And I choosed all components presented and all options and default port parameters. You will also be prompted to confirm locations of the motif libraries. I choosed http mode for forms server. Do not install Reports security feature (I've heard that it's not working, this option will be presented to you somewhere at the end of installation). After finishing you may need to edit "forms60_server" file and some other files. For example I had to change my "host_name.domain_name" (in my case was "TEST_MACHINE.(none)") to my IP address as I don't have a DNS server here.
That's what I did to test forms server:
I wanted to test my Forms server by running Apache web server (the one that is installed by default by linux). (in the documetation you will find references to the WebDB listener which as far as I know is no longer installed in release 2, so the documentation is obsolete regarding this module). For this you will have to edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file. Look for the section "Alias" and "AliasScript". under your forms $ORACLE_HOME/orainst you will find two files "forms6iconfig.txt" and "reports6iconfig.txt". You will find there actions to be performed by you manually. in "forms6iconfig.txt" file you will find virtual mappings for physical directories. You have to put this entries in "httpd.conf" file. You must edit this file as "root". For example 'Alias /dev60temp/ "/oracle/product/forms/tools/web60/temp/"'. The exception I made was for "/dev60cgi" virtaul mapping which I've put under ScriptAlias section 'ScriptAlias /dev60cgi/ "/oracle/product/forms/tools/web60/cgi/"'.
After succesfully editing the file you will ned to restart http server:
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
Login again as "forms" user.
In $ORACLE_HOME directory isuue:
$./forms60_server start
This will start your forms server listener.
After that you can test your forms server running from an external machine by entering: http://ip_addres_of_linux_machine/dev60html/runform.htm
and after completing parameters you will see "text.fmx" form applet saying that Forms server is installed corectlly or directly: http://ip_addres_of_linux_machine/dev60cgi/f60cgi
You have to install Jinitiator to view the applet. It will be prompted for you to download it when accessing the above address.
To be honest I was disapointed to see that forms server is very slow. And I mean very slow.
In the end please let me excuse if I wasn't clear in some points. If you have any questions please post them on the list. I'm not an expert and I may have made mistakes, but in the same time I hope this will help you setting up forms server on your linux box.
I forgot to mention that you will probably see a message saying that "formsweb.cfg was not found" when accesing "http://..../f60cgi". If you see this you have to options: either make a symlink "forms60" in the root directory to $ORACLE_HOME/forms60 directory or add a line in your "httpd.conf" file (I put this lines the last ones):
#Include 6iserver configuration file for setting formsweb.cfg path
include "/developer_home/conf/6iserver.conf"
And in $ORACLE_HOME create a directory named "conf". In this directory create a file named "6iserver.conf" and put the following line in it:
SetEnv FORMS60_WEB_CONFIG_FILE /developer_home/forms60/server/formsweb.cfg
This will set your environment correctly and you will be able to see the test form. Don't forget to restart apache web server and forms listener.
Kindly,
Codrut Octavian Popescu
