.. Making Exe File of Forms 6i

Hi..
I have completed a project and now want to make exe file of the Forms..
i do not exactly know how to do so..
it is something like IF RUN 60 command..
but i m not getting it right ..
Kindly tell me how to do so..
Will it be the exe we can insatall anywhere and access the database like we does in VB.. where we do not need to install VB at each machine to run the exe.. files..
I m in the process of deploying the application now..
Your support will count alot..
Thanx alot ..
Best Regards..

There is no need to install the Oracle Forms runtime engine, neither your application files (Forms, Reports, etc.) on each client machine.
You can install the Oracle Forms software on a share file server where each client access the Oracle Forms engine and your application files. In that setup, you still need to configure the client Oracle registry to tell it where to find the files. You would not do that kind of setup on a WAN or slow client connections because it will take ages for the Oracle forms files to download to the client machine.
You can't create an exe with Oracle forms the same way you would in VB. Oracle Forms is a runtime engine and you need it to run your application.
The command line for your application will look like:
If installed on client machine:
C:\Oracle\forms6i\BIN\ifrun60.EXE <name of your main application form>
If installed on File server
F:\Oracle\forms6i\BIN\ifrun60.EXE <name of your main application form>
The deployment vehicule can be any of
- You physically go to the workstation and do the installation
- You provide a Web or server link (or through Microsoft SMS) where they can download and install the application files with instructions (this can be a batch file which will extract and copy all of the required files, Oracle Forms + Application files + update the registry). Don't forget that some Oracle files are installed within the Windows\system folder when you install Oracle Forms from the installation CD and are required to properly run any Oracle Forms application.
Client-server deployment with Oracle Forms (or other client-server software) is not easy and that's where the Web or something such as Citrix becomes very handy.

  • Is it possible to make an .exe file in Forms 6i

    Dear Sir,
    I have some doubts regarding some of the Oracle Products.
    1. Is it possible to make .exe file in Oracle Forms 6i ?
    2. In Oracle 7.3 / Forms 4.5/ Reports 2.5, it was necessary to install Oracle Enterprise at the server and install forms and reports runtime at the nodes. What is the case with Oracle 8i and Forms 6i and Reports 6i.
    Do we need to install the runtime at the nodes.
    3. If I develop a software using D2k (Forms 6i/Reports 6i) using Oracle 8i, what is required at the client's place to run it. Do they need to buy Oracle 8i as well as D2k(in full) or D2K Runtime is seperately available?
    Please reply to the above queries. Thanking you

    - You cannot create a single exe file for Forms. You will have to install the runtime and then deploy the application fmx files.
    To deploy, you will need to install the Forms runtime on each machine which will be running forms. So if you are running client server and you have 100 client machine you would do 100 installs. Alternatively, if you are installing on the Web then you install the runtime on a server and your 100 clients only need to connect from browser.
    I'm not sure how the licencing sales are worked out - your account manager would have a better idea but you don;t have to have an 8i for every client (!) - the Forms runtime and the database are separate.

  • URGENT ! Making EXEcutable file in Forms 4.5/5/6 ???

    Dear Experts
    I am using Forms 4.5 & Reports 2.5 for Oracle 7.3.2 database.
    Can I make EXEcutable file to run the application directly ?
    If it is not possible in this version, Is it possible in Forms ver 5 ? ver 6 ?
    If so, what is the procedure / menu sequence.

    Simply no way.
    You have the forms runtime that you use to launch your .fmx.
    So, you will have a batch file that launches your form using the forms runtime.
    It may be something like:
    D:\ORANT\BIN\F50RUN32.EXE g:\centrala\tlogin_noi_cen USERID=login/login@apollo usesdi=yes
    This works for Forms 5.0 and the given form & database include some trick for logging on a "system user" without revealing the Oracle username & password that actually owns the object schema needed for the application. It may well be without logging on to a database, the user having to log on through the default forms logon screen, or you may design a logon screen of your own.
    RTM on your forms runtime command for more details, and check the logon & logout built-ins.
    If you must have applications in straight .exe files, give up using Forms and use some other tools (Delphi, C++Builder, VB, MSVC++, but not some Java development environment, that doesn't produce .exe either).

  • Making exe file

    Dear sir/madam
    I have developed a project and it is working properly, if i give this project to customer then he will have to compile and run on DOS. what should i do that my costomer click on a file placed on desktop and it start working.So please tell me that how can we create an exe file of this project.

    jdk1.4 is install in c:\ and my project named "myedit.txt".
    how can i make it so that it can be run on a sigle click. please send me procedure.My friend,
    - Create a normal text file on windows, right click "new text document".
    - inside the text file write java followed by the name of your main class file without the class extension at the end.
    e.g. java myedit (if myedit is the name of your main class)
    - save the text file
    - rename the the file to whatever you want with .bat as extension
    e.g. run.bat
    good luck

  • Making '.exe' file/application using JAVA

    Hi,
    Is it possible to make an application(an exe file) using just Java, just as we in VB.If yes can you please give some idea how can we do that.
    Thanks.....

    To make a java application run from a click on an icon
    you must create a Jar file as I've explained below:
    Create a separate folder and place all the source code programs needed to run the application in it. You just need the ones with the .class extension. You don't need the ones with the .java extension.
    Open up 'Notepad' and type in this line:
         Main-Class: your class that has the main method
    You don't need the .class extension.
    ex. If your main method is in a program called HelloWorld.class
    type in :
    Main-Class: HelloWorld
    Make sure you hit the RETURN key at the end of the line. I forgot to do that which is why I spent four hours trying to get this to work!
    Save this as: manifest.mf
    and put in the same folder as above. Make sure it doesn't save as manifest.mf.txt
         Open MS-DOS.
    CD change to the directory and folder you are in.
    Type this in exactly as I have written:
    jar cvfm0 myprogram.jar manifest.mf *.class
         This should put a Jar file in your folder. Just click on it and it should work.
    Make sure the program doesn't need to take input from a command line, like DOS.
    Otherwise it will do nothing. As long as your program creates a frame, window, button or something, it should work.
         To run the Jar file from DOS(for testing purposes) type:
    java -jar myprogram.jar
         If you get an error stating that it can't find the main method class(like mine did), right click on the 'myprogram.jar' file that was created,
    click on properties, then ZipMagic.
    Open the 'manifest.mf' file and make sure
    that 'Main-Class: yourprogramname' is in there.
         If you followed these directions you should be able to create an executable java file.
    Below I've explained what the commands to create the Jar file mean.     
    jar: means you are creating a java archive file which acts like a ZIP file
    c: means create a new jar file
    v: means verbose which tells DOS to show the action it is doing
    f: means that the files to choose are going to be typed in by a user(you at the Dos prompt)
    m: means to use the manifest file that you specify
    0: means that the file won't be compressed
    To make a JAR file you only need the cfm letters.

  • Changing oaj2se.exe binary file for form operations

    Hi,
    When you open the form service in R12.1.3, you encounter a page with the following message.
    In order to access this application, you must install the J2SE Plugin version 1.6.0_07. To install this plugin, click here to download the oaj2se.exe executable. Once the download is complete, double-click the oaj2se.exe file to install the plugin. You will be prompted to restart your browser when the installation is complete.
    If you need the newer version - let's say 1.6.0.10 - than 1.6.0.07. Then, going through click here will give still the old binary file.
    For this kind of cases, it would be good if the binary file just gives the latest one when clicked to download j2se plugin.
    So, here the questions come.
    Q1.
    Is it safe to replace the old binary file with the latest jre file from Oracle site?
    Q2.
    How can this be done? I mean, where is the location and is it ok just to replace the binary file?
    Does anyone have any idea on this?
    Thanks,
