JPI 1.4.2 in 10g-patch2 or AppServer 10.1.2.0.2

Hi,
The Statement Of Direction on OTN states that support for Sun's Plug-In is targeted for 10g patchset 2. I'm not really sure which "real" version number that would be.
The current v10.x Application Server does not contain Forms/Reports, but the FAQ states that those will be included in the v10.1.2.0.2 release. It also states this version is expected in first half of CY2005.
We're really waiting for a Forms 10g version that supports Sun's JPI. We have hundreds of external users and I do not want to "bother" them with downloading and installing JInitiator. Explaining why I need Sun's JPI to their sysadmins is much easier :-)
Does anyone know if the AppServer 10.1.2.0.2 release will also support Sun's JPI on Windows or is this the same as the patch 2 release?
If they're not the same, which one will be available sooner? We're planning go-live on 1st of July and I really hope i can go for the Sun JPI.

We are working to certify 904 +patch2 with the Sun plug. Interestingly enough some ofthe issues we have had have been bugs in the Sun JVM (hence Jinitiator being the better option). Note also you should be able to install Jinitiator automatically as well (since its just the Sun plugin underneath!).
I cant commit to a timeframe but Sun plug in support is very important for us so we are working to get it completed ASAP.

10g single node install

How best to slice disk drives? Single Node install on a Sun V480 (2 cpu's @ 900mhz, 2 disk drives @ 36gb each), solaris operating system. For my test server I will install all 10g components. How best to distribute the 10g load (oraInventory, appserver, infrastructure, Metadata Repository) between the two disk drives?

Part of the installation involves the installer installing CRS software on the other nodes, creating the ASM and RAC instances and so on.
All this is done in an automated fashion - requiring each node to be prepped accordingly, ssh keys generated, public keys distributed and added to authorised keys and so on.
None of these installation steps (all critical) will be part of a "single node" RAC install.
In fact, the prepping part is even more critical and complex than the actual installation - if done properly the installation will be smooth and painless. If not... you will run into all kinds of problems. And this is often the case as one has to deal with getting the shared devices to be seen by all nodes, ensure consistent device mappings across all nodes, ensure that multipath (load balancing) I/O works, etc.
For this at least 2 nodes are required. For actual proper RAC testing itself, even 2 nodes do not suffice and at least 3 are needed.
IMO you are pretty much wasting your time as no real practical RAC installation lessons will be learned mucking about with RAC and a single VM.

Conn problem SQl Server 64 Bit to Oracle 32 bit using SSIS packages

Hi,
I am facing the problem with connection SQL(64 bit) to Oracle(32 bit).
Please give me the solution/guide in right direction.
Environment is
S1-----> DBServer : 64 bit Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, 64 Bit SQl Server EE, 64 Bit Oracle 10g Client
S2----->.AppServer :32 bit Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, IIS, 32 Bit Oracle 10g Client & Server DB
I have doubt like....
1.Can i install 32 bit oracle also at (S1) 64 bit SQL Server(SSIS)
or only 64 bit oracle?
2.Running command line for SSIS packages at S1
i am unable to connect S1---->S2 using SSIS packages?
How can i solve this problem? pl give steps for going right direction.
Thanks

Hi,
I was setting up VMware vCenter 4.1 (probably the only well known and largely used product with this lethal mix) and needed to setup an ODBC access to Oracle on the 32 bit side of Windows to setup the Update Manager server component, which is still a 32 bit application)
The problem with Oracle configuration is that in no way I found a 32 bit ODBC registered driver after the setup (of the 32 bit client and the 64 database server). I tried some third party driver for oracle (e.g. easysoft).They registered in the 32 bit ODBC manager but they never got a successful connection.
Also if this vCenter requirement is questionable (more questionable considering that the setup of this 32 component is not allowed on a 32 separate OS, not because it is separate but because is a 32 bit OS) I would get it working.
Could suggest a way to get this working?
Thanks
Fabio D'AlfonsoWhen you install the Oracle client software on Windows (which is necessary to support ODBC, as the Oracle ODBC driver sits on top of the native client software) the ODBC driver is NOT installed by default. You have to go back and do a "custom" install and select the "Windows components".

(RHEL3) iAS form service 10g with jpi 1.4x error

hello~
my form service os is RHEL3 , and i install
oracle form and report service 10g on it !
when i use jinit 1.3.1.13 and ienative VM to test form
, everything is fine , but use jpi 1.4x to test
form will raise the java exception like below :
FRM-92050
<java.io.IOException: Negative content-length from HTTP.>
at oracle.forms.net.HTTPNStream.doGet(Unknow Source)...
========================================================
but when i install the IDS 10G in another RHEL3 server
and start the OC4J instance , i test form with
config= jinit or ienative or jpi , everything is fine,
is it a BUG in IAS904 form for linux platform???
I'm sure all config had setup ok..

We had the same error (FRM-92050) (we have a Unix server) and we changed the FORMS60_TIMEOUT=10 (from 5) and upped the users and confirmed processes from the default of 100 to 200 (in the default.env and init<dbname>.ora). Now we are able to connect remotely.
(We had not priviously done all the post install steps. These are included in those steps.)
good luck,
LW

Installation of developer suit 10g on windows 7 64-bit

Dear all,
I have successfully installed oracle 10g and developer suit 10g in my lappy which runs on windows 7 64-bit, I am able to launch form builder, create a new form and compile it. But when I runs the form the the internet explorer 8 crashes.
Please help

I am guessing that you are fairly new to the Oracle Forms product as you are not understanding the difference between the environment where a "form" is developed and the area where it can/will be run in a supported manner. Let me try to start from the beginning....
1. The Forms Builder 10.1.2 is NOT_ supported to be installed on Windows 7. I can technically be accomplished but is considered NOT supported by Oracle. So unless you have a good working knowledge of the Developer Suite product and the Win7 operating system and don't care about getting technical support from Oracle, I do not recommend attemting to install on Win7. If you choose to install on Win7, you are on your own even if you have a Support agreement. Supported platforms include Windows 2000, Win-XP, Vista (see note 559067.1), Solaris, Linux
If you feel like you need to have the Builder installed in an UNSUPPORTED environment, you can probably follow the instructions provided for installing on Vista as they will likely work for Win7. If you have access to My Oracle Support, take a look at this document: How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.3 on Windows Vista (Doc ID 559067.1)
Supported Operating Systems and other installation information can be found in the Installation Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_08/doc/dl/core/B16012_04/chap2.htm#i1007814
The only exception to the above is that we now support installing on Vista when following the note mentioned above.
2. You can "run" your form after it has been designed and compiled, on a Windows 7 machine. The form will run in a browser, using a JRE/JPI.

Forms 10g installed and running on Windows Vista

Update 12-Dec-2008: Oracle has published NOTE 559067.1 -- How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 - hence 10.1.2.3 - on Windows Vista, 24-OCT-2008 with some installation help.
Update 07-July-2008: Added text at the bottom showing how to find patchsets for Forms 10g.
Update 29-May-2008: This thread was started in November, 2007. In January, 2008, Oracle released Patch 3 for Forms 10g, which makes Forms 10g compatible with Windows Vista. As time permits I'll try to keep the information in this post up to date. Updated information will be inserted as blue text.

Original message begins here:
This is a second thread I am posting to outline the steps I have used to install Forms on a Windows Vista Home Basic laptop. The other thread describes installing Forms 6i:
Forms 6i installed and running on Windows Vista
Please read through the initial part of that post for the background. I realize Oracle has not certified Forms 10g to run on Vista, but the time has come for my associates and I to upgrade our old computers to new desktop/laptop platforms, and I would hate to acquire XP machines and be stuck with them for the next 5 years. (Note: Since first posting this message, Oracle has certified Forms 10g Patch 3 (version 10.1.2.3.0) to run on Vista) So after another person informed me that he had Forms installed and running on Vista, I went ahead and bought one. I found that as long as I set the compatibility mode to run Forms programs as Windows XP (and a few other changes), Forms 6i and 10g run quite satisfactorily.
Update 29-Jan-2008: Unfortunately, it turns out that the Forms 10g Builder running on Vista had a major flaw: If you try to develop a form, the Builder will crash if you try to compile a procedure that calls another procedure in the form that has errors. The problem is reported and described in this thread: Error compiling a form under Vista
Update 12-Mar-2008: Installing Patch 3 on Vista does not help with this problem -- the Builder still crashes in the same situation.
Update 25-July-2008: Applying Patch 7047034 has corrected the problem. See this link within this thread: Forms 10g: Installing Patch 7047034 on Windows Vista
Webutil note: I am stuck in a Forms 6i client/server world, so all my forms must run in that environment. Therefore I have not used any Webutil software, and I do not know whether that part will run under Vista.
Internet Explorer note: On Windows Vista, IE CANNOT be used to run the Web Forms runtime. It crashes immediately when you try to run a form. Instead, I can use either Firefox (Firefox 2, Firefox 3.0 Crashes with Forms 10g) or Netscape, as long as they are set to disable java. [ Correction: IE7 on Vista now runs the Forms 10g forms. You just need to add "?config=jpi" to the browser URL when starting the Web Forms session. More IE/Vista info: [url=http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=642973]Vista JInitiator Problem ]
The Oracle Developer Suite download page:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html
Oracle Developer Suite Installation Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_07//doc/dl/core/B16012_04/toc.htm
The steps below are those I followed to install Forms 10g (version 10.1.2.0.2)
I. Preliminary system changes in Windows
When I started installing, I got the following error message: Install has encountered an error while
 attempting to verify your virtual memory settings.
 Please verify that the sum of the initial sizes of
 the paging files is at least 256 MB.To fix this: Go to Control Panel, System and Maintenance, View amount of RAM and processor speed (under "System"),
Advanced system settings (in left "Tasks" column), Advanced tab, Settings (under "performance"), Advanced tab:
Virtual Memory shows a "Total paging file size for all drives: 2337MB.
Click "change", Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives"
Click "custom size:", set Initial size to: 2048, Max to 4096
Click set button, then OK, get message:The changes you have made require you to restart your computer before
 they can take effect.Restart the computer.
II. Installing Forms 10g
1. Download two files from Oracle:
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1.zip (626,122,752 bytes)
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk2.zip (236,880,881 bytes)
2a. Before extracting, it is a good idea to shut down any virus protection software. It can sometimes prevent some files from being created.
2b. Extract both into the C:\oracle directory, as disk1 and disk2.
3. Using Windows Explorer, change the properties of setup.exe in the C:\oracle\disk1 folder. (In windows explorer, right click, properties, Compatibility tab.) Change the compatibility to run as Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
4. Right click setup.exe and click "Run as administrator"
5. Select "Installation type" = Complete (1.11 GB)
6. Received this message:Windows Firewall has blocked this program from
accepting incoming network connections. If you
unblock this program, it will be unblocked on all
public networks that you connect to.
C:\users\steve\appdata\local\temp\orainstall...
2007-10-29_11-59-08am\jre\1.4.2\bin\javaw.exeI clicked "Unblock"
7. Received this message: "Provide outgoing mail server information" I entered the smtp mail server that I use.
8. A summary screen displayed showing 274 products under New Installations.
I clicked the Install button.
9. Received this message: You can find a log of this install session at:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2007.....log
10. The installation completed. Installed products shows Forms 10.1.2.0.2
III. After the install completed
1. Create a shortcut to the Forms 10 Builder on the Desktop.
On the shortcut line, after the .exe, add *userid=userxxx/pwxxx@orcl* so Builder automatically logs into 10g database. If you do step 4 below (creating an easily-accessible folder to use for your forms) change the "Start in" path on the shortcut so it points to that folder. Otherwise, Forms Builder will not find referenced objects and PLL libraries when it opens a form. Also do the same on the Start, All Programs shortcut for the Forms Builder.
Edit: After applying Patch 3, the following steps are not necessary.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
Set checkbox: "Run this program as as an administrator." (Without this, FormBuilder will NOT open a PLL library.)
Click the "Show settings for all users" and change values there.
2. Copy "Start OC4J Instance" icon to desktop.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
The first time it runs, I got a Windows popup to unblock program named Java. I clicked "Unblock".
3. tnsnames.ora:
Rename C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
to: tnsnames_orig.ora
If you created a tnsnames.ora file for Forms 6i, just copy it to the path above. If not, do this:
Create a new tnsnames.ora file, copying entries old file on my old laptop, which contains all the connections I use.
Delete the old laptop entry, replace with new entry for the new local ORCL connection on new laptop from tnsnames file renamed from the c:\oracle\... ...\10.2.0\db_1\ path.
4. Optional: Create an easily accessible folder to store fmb files:
C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
You don't really want to keep drilling into C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms, and then find your .fmb file among the several dozen oracle-supplied files.
To create a folder named .1, you have to open a CMD.exe (Windows DOS) window, and type the Make Directory command:
MD .1
That will create the folder within the current directory -- mine defaults to C:\users\steve
Note: If you also need to use Forms 6i like me, DO NOT EVER open a .fmb file in the Forms 10 Builder from the Forms 6i folder. If you compile it, or even worse, save the .fmb, Forms 6i *cannot ever* access the file. Instead, always use the File Manager (Windows Explorer) to copy the fmb from the fmb6 folder into the fmb10 location.
5. Change the Forms 10g Default.env file using a text editor.
This file replaces all the settings originally written to the Windows Registry (GREAT idea, Oracle! I hate the registry.) No more Regedit. The default.env file is located at: (DevSuiteHome_1 path)\forms\server\default.env
Locate line with: FORMS_PATH= and add:
;C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
Add a new line:
FORMS_MMAP=FALSE
The above allows compiling an fmx while the form is running.
Add a new line:
FORMS_ROWLOCK_OPTIMIZATION=FALSE
(This fixes Oracle bug number 3949854, which prevents automatic skipping if the same value is typed over another value. TAR 4806199.993 Automatic Skip failure...) See bug 4068896
Add a new Line:
FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=False
This allows use of Query-Where window in enter query, after entering a colon in any input field. Without this, Forms returns FRM-40367: Invalid criteria in field nnn in example record. Oracle shut it down to prevent "sql injection" attacks.
6. Jiniator setup:
Run file jinit.exe in C:\oracle\DevSuiteHime_1\jinit\jinit.exe
It installs Jinitiator 1.3.1.22.
I installed it in C:\oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22\
For Firefox, make sure a copy of file \bin\NPJinit13122.dll resides in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins.
For Netscape, the path is: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\plugins
7. Browser settings
See the note above about using Firefox 2 and not Firefox 3!
In Firefox 2 go to: Tools-> Options-> Content
Uncheck the "Enable Java" checkbox
--Firefox terminates if this is not done!
Note: After my system automatically installed updates to either java or Firefox, re-check the "Enable Java" setting. I am suspicious that one of these installs re-enables java in the browser.
Also note: some web sites cannot display properly if java is disabled. Example: U.S. time website: http://www.time.gov Use Internet Explorer to view these.
In Netscape make the same changes as Firefox. Without disabling java, it also terminates when you try to run a form.
Creating a url to use in the browser:
Try this:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
If it does not work, change the 8889 port number as follows:
Open file: C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\install\portlist.ini
Note the number in line:
Oracle Developer Suite HTTP port = 8889
Use the number as the port number.
You can also change the 127.0.0.1 to the computer name:
Control Panel, System and Maintenance, See the name of this computer (under "System"). Mine is "steve-PC"
So the alternate URL is: http://steve-PC:8889/forms/frmservlet
To try out the URL, start the OC4J instance set up above. Then start either Netscape or Firefox, and enter the URL. You should get a welcome screen.
If the above URL works, start up the Forms Builder, and open Edit, Preferences. On the General tab, uncheck the "Build before running" check box (optional). On the Runtime tab, set the "Application Server URL to the url above.
To run a real form, add this to the URL after frmservlet, (with no spaces):
?form={formname}&userid={userxxx}/{passwordyyy}@{connect-string}
but replace the parts in curly braces with the appropriate values. Example:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=ABC&userid=abc123/zyx@orcl
Setting up Forms Builder to directly run a form in the browser:
Run the Forms Builder. Go to Edit, Preferences, Runtime tab.
Set the Application Server URL to:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
(or use whatever URL string you developed above)
Set the Web Browser Location to:
"C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\navigator.exe"
(or an equivalent to run the Firefox browser).
8. FORMSWEB.CFG file changes
The file is located at:
C:\ORA_DS_101202\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\server\formsweb.cfg
I changed the following two lines in the file, but these are my personal preferences:
separateFrame=true
lookandfeel=Generic
9. FMRWEB.RES file changes
For Oracle help: Enabling Key Mappings
The file fmrweb.res defines actions (triggers that run) when a function key is pressed while running Forms. The one released has unix-style key mapping, but I prefer keys originally mapped for Windows PC Forms users. There is a fmrpcweb.res in the same folder that can be renamed to fmrweb.res.
In the C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms path, I renamed fmrweb.res to fmrweb_orig.res.
I have a file that I prefer to use, so I put it into the folder as fmrweb.res. The contents are listed below. It is organized so the most important keys are listed alphabetically at the top (URFD column is the sort column), followed by a group of less-important keys. These are keys that are available to users, but they either would not use, or are disabled within most forms. The URFD column in the second set starts with a hex A0 character, which is a high-order space, so collates after normal alphabetic characters. (Note: If you want to copy the text below and use it, the hex A0 character has been changed by the forum software to a space. So you would need to use a text editor with hexadecimal character capabilities to replace the space with the original character. )
My file has special keys defined for F2 (I use it for a debugging Key-F2 trigger in my forms), and a "Cursor to Home" F12 function. All the rest are pretty much the same as in the released fmrpcweb.res file, only mine are organized alphabetically on the URFD column.
The Web Forms fmrweb.res file is editable using any programming editor (NOT MS Word!!!). The old Client/Server key mapping file, fmrusw.res, could only be changed using the Oracle Terminal program (and it is a pain to use).
Here is the main part of my fmrweb.res file:#
#Jfn :Jmn: URKS :Ffn : URFD

I followed your instructions and installed Developer Suite 10G on Windows Vista Home Premium edition. I have Oracle 11G DB running on the same machine.
Two points, Steve:
1. When I tried to set the maximum virtual memory to 6110 an error message displayed from Windows and told me that I can't set the maximum virtual memory to more than 4096. I set it to 4090 and it worked and I got nothing wrong during the installation process.
2. After installing JInitiator and disabling Java on Firefox I called the http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet page and everything seemed to be OK because the Oracle Forms Services logo appeared and then a successful installation message appeared , but as I clicked (ok) to continue a gray screen appeared inside the browser (like the one displayed when you try to run a Java applet inside a browser) and then I wait to death till something appears but sadly nothing. I just get a blank gray screen inside my Firefox browser.
Do you have any idea what to do to solve the problem?

In forms how to cancel long running process or query in 10g

We have application which is hosted on 10g AS. Some forms has lot of processing to be done and sometimes user wants to cancel the processing in between maybe because he wants to change some value and refire processing.
Based on the search on net 'Esc' key was used in earlier version of forms to function as User requested Cancel operation. How can same be done in 10g. Do we have to do anything in fmrweb.res for this. Is there some setting to be done in forms or in AS for this functionality.
Does this matter on whether JInitiator is used or JPI is used for running the application?
Edited by: suresh_mathew on May 21, 2013 1:36 AM

Hi,
Exit can be used to cancel query mode i.e. in case you go into query mode by Exit you can cancel query mode. Suppose you went into query mode and you have fired query which will take some time to fetch how can I abort it.
In earlier version of form there was 'Cancel' facility wherein if triggered it used to fire an error message 'Ora--01013 user requested cancel of current operation"
With this facility you can abort any query which is executing or any long running process which forms is currently performing.
fmrweb.res would have entry like
27 : 0 : "Esc" : 1001 : "Cancel"
The above entry I picked from OPN
Java Function Numbers And Key Mappings For Forms Deployed Over Web [ID 66534.1]
Unfortunately this is not working for us even if I put this in frmweb.res of 10g AS
Basically I want ability to Abort/Cancel a long running process be it query execution or standard process triggered in the form.
Any advise or help is highly appreciated.

Forms 10g 10.1.2.3 with Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 in Win 7 64bit

Hi all
i am not able to open the application forms developed with forms 10g(10.1.2.3 ) in IE8.
I am able to open it from the same client using google chrome or Firefox 3.6.
JRE is 1.6 update 33.
Does any body knows what should be the settings of IE8 , to make forms of with IE8.
Is there any metalink how to document?
Thank you in advance
Kreshnik

HI

the problem is with IE 8 that is it certified for forms 10.1.2.3 version
thanks and regards

Forms 10G Replacing Oracle Logo in Menu Bar

Hello:
Forms 10G Replacing Oracle Logo in Menu Bar
We use lookAndFeel=oracle which gives Oracle Logo in the Manu Bar at top right corner.
What is the simplest way to replace this with our own logo?
Thanks

Forms 10g rel 1( 9.0.4 ) vs SUN JVM 1.5

Hello:
From SUN site you can read :
"Changes in 1.5.0_06
The full internal version number for this update release is 1.5.0_06-b05 (where "b" means "build"). The external version number is 5.0u6.
Security Enhancements
Prior to this update, an applet or application could specify the version of the JRE on which it would run. This has changed. All applets are executed with the latest JRE version. Unsigned Java Web Start applications that specify a version other than the latest trigger a warning, requiring explicit user permission before the application will run. Signed Java Web start applications are not affected. "
Assuming that our customer will use SUN JVM , NOT Oracle JInitiator.
We have seen that if in a client machine it is installed SUN JVM 1.4.2_10 ( certified ) AND SUN JVM 1.5 or newer.
there is NO WAY to force Forms 9.0.4 applications to run with SUN JVM 1.4.2_10.
In spite of doing the following settings at formsweb.cfg
# Parameter related to the version of the Java Plugin
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_10
when you run forms 9.0.4 applications from a browser in that machine, SUN JVM 1.5 is mandatory used by the browser.
It seems that IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to tell 9.0.4 to use SUN JVM 1.4.2_10 because SUN prevents it according to the above documentation .
Q1) I thank your comments on this
Then, when you look for certification info:
a) you can get this info for Forms 10g R2
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gR2/clientsod_forms10gR2.html
b) you can get this info for Forms 10g R1
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10g/clientsod_forms10g.ht
ml
Q2) What are ORACLE plans about certification of SUN JVM 1.5 AND Forms 10g Rel 1 ( 9.0.4 ) ?
Thanks in advance,
Fernando Rey

Hi Guys,
I am currently testing our portal with a number of JRE version or Jinitiator and the SUN JRE.
I found some very useful information about changing the registry of the local PC to re-enable specific versioning, see info, below.
I have tested this and it does work, but you need to be careful with Sun JRE versions to ensure that you are on 1.5.0.7 or higher.
Another useful link is this discussion over on the sun forums.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=730855
Good Luck
Scott
We have found a conflict with the Sun JRE 1.4.2.6 and version Sun JRE 1.5.0.6
To get around this conflict a registry key has to be added onto the users PC and the user needs to remove 1.5.0.6 and install 1.5.0.7 or higher. To make matters worse the auto-update feature in version 1.4, if left enabled, will update the user to 1.5.0.6 even thought the latest release from the sun web site is 1.5.0.8 !
Therefore can you add this registry key onto the automated install of the Sun 1.4.2.6 setup as per the instructions below.
Troubleshooting Conflicting JPI Versions on the Desktop:
Per oracle note 368775.1, JRE 1.5 will not allow static versions. In other words version 1.5
may override your required version of 1.4.2. They call it a security feature, but it can reek
havoc with oracle forms. This section addresses a possible workaround.
If your users either need to run JPI 1.5 for any reason, here is the workaround to force
BANNER to use ONLY version 1.4.2.
If you launch forms and in the java console it shows version 1.5.X, perform the following
steps.
1. Make a backup of the windows registry
2. Edit the registry
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\
4. Create a new directory by highlighting the key above and pressing <RIGHT
CLICK>/<NEW KEY>
5. Rename the key to [Java Deployment]
6. Highlight the new key created in step 5 and press <RIGHT CLICK>/<NEW KEY>
7. Rename this new value to [Policy]
8. Highlight the new key created in step 7 and press <RIGHT CLICK>/<NEW DWORD>
9. Rename this DWORD to “EnableSecureStaticVersioning”
Re-launch forms and verify via the java console that the desktop is returning 1.4.2.

Sysfader: iexplore.exe - Application Error in Forms 10g

Hi,
I am new to Oracle Forms 10g. When I tried to run the Form, it is giving me an Error saying that
*"The Instruction at "0x06130b58" referenced memory at "0x00000054". The memory could not be "read".*
I am unable to run any Form.
Somebody help me out in this regard.
Thansk in advance :)

Please always mention 4 digit version numbers (e.g. 10.1.2.0.2) as well as Operation System, Browser and Java Versions.
Just taking a lucky guess here, but if you are using the default config of forms 10.1.2 on a nowadays OS you have a combo of JInit and IE8 which isn't supposed to work and most likely to crash. If this is the case then use a current Sun JPI instead: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/documentation/forms-jre-131772.pdf
If this is not the case then...well...you might give us a more deeper insight in what you do so we can get an idea what's going wrong.
cheers

Configuring Forms Builder 10g to run (Ctrl-R) against application server

I would like to run forms from my working directory against our development application server and config, rather than having a local OC4J running. I have configured this by setting the application server URL runtime preference to "http://<server>.<domain>:80/forms/frmservlet?config=dev". This works fine.
However, when I run the Form, I get "FRM-40010: Cannot read form H:\Neil\TAF00180.fmx". This is because we open our FMBs from a locally mapped drive (i.e. I opened the FMB from H:\Neil\TAF00180.fmb). When run against the application server it seems Forms Builder trys to run an executable with the same path as the FMB - H:\Neil\TAF00180.fmx, but the application server has no knowledge of a mapped H-drive.
The only solution I can think of is to have an H-drive mapped on the application server to the same location as our locally mapped network drive.
This doesn't seem like the correct solution to me. How should we configure Oracle Forms 10g and the application server to allow us to run our own working versions against the applications server and config?

I guess Neil concern is that OC4J and Forms Server are using own formsweb.cfg and .env files
And settings can be different.
For example what if local formsweb.cfg configured to run Jinitiator, but server formsweb.cfg configured for JPI, or they configured with different lookandfeel parameter, or local and server default.env use different NLS_DATE_FORMAT?Hi Slava, Hi Neil
I think this is more related to "discipline" for the developers....
@ Neil : How many developers do you have in your team ?
Are developers allowed to "customize" their formsweb.cfg and .env files ?
or more customized basejinit.htm, registry.dat, additional jar files ... etc
or more using different oracle_home for their installation of Developer Suite.
@ Slava : Using local formsweb.cfg and .env files might not be a problem if every developer machine is installed the same way (i.e. the same oracle_home).
Also, I don't think that using workingDirectory to network shared connection for each developer is a solution
[dev1]
workingDirectory= H:/dev1
[dev2]
workingDirectory= H:/dev2
And at least this is requiring customized *.env files ! as the forms_path should be set for runtime in it for each developer.
The registry entry is only for the builder to find the path to mmb and pll files for example, and compile well, but the runtime is using *.env files.
And what about developing in windows and deploy it to linux ?
I recently managed a project with junior and undisciplined developers. The boss had the same concern about each network drive per developer.
My concern was how to eliminate all subjective considerations..
And my answer was "Subversion" no mess with local or network version with the "copy of the copy of the copy of the fmb files".
So all forms_path were set to C:\myApp\forms etc and each developer made a checkout and commit versions twice a day.
And the Application Server was also "checked out" to have the latest revision and then ran it into a pre-version for production.
If I had to make some important changes in the *.olb file or the *.pll files then I made a commit for all developers and then re-compile all *.fmb and re-commit and checkout again.
I really don't matter if the developer used jinitiator or jpi but the right working copy.
And standalone OC4J was enough to make basics tests for each developer.
More tests were made by project managers at the application server level and then adjustments (if required) where sent to developers.
Hope this helps.

Jean-Yves

Which browser support for Oracle 10g forms (using window7 ultimate 32bit)

sir my 10g forms show pluginn error using any BROWSER .. also netscape navigator 9.0 for window 7 ultimate 32bit
PLZ solve my problem anyone..
i shall b very thankfullllll

plz solve my problem any one an which browser i will use for for window 7 32bit ????>
Please take a look at the Client Certification. It lists all of the browsers that are certified for the Java version you are using. Also, you will need to modify your configuration to correctly list the Java Plug-in version you have installed. For information on how to configure the JPI, take a look at Oracle 10gR2 Forms Services – Using Sun's Java Plug-in.

Forms 10g Patchset 2 - release date?

We're currently looking to migrate from Forms 6i to 10g,
but have clients other than Windows, and so deploy using
the Sun Java Plugin (JPI) rather than JInitiator.
The "Oracle Forms 10g: Client Platform Support" document
says that the JPI support is targetted for patchset 2.
Does anyone have any indication of when this is due?

I'm also waiting for patchset 2 for the exact same reason. As soon as that's released we'll finalize the migration from (client/server) 6i to 10g using the Sun JRE

JPI 1.4.2 in 10g-patch2 or AppServer 10.1.2.0.2
