NLS Problem in 9iAS Forms Service

Hi Friends
I'm using :
- Forms Server 6i
- 9iAS Rel 1
- Database 8.1.6 (AR8MSWIN1256)
for a 3 tire application in Farsi. My client is IE 5.5 and
my JVM is Jinitiator 1.1.8.10
The problem is for 4 letters sound g,ch,p and zh in Farsi
I miss contextual analysis for these letters in the java
applet downloaded to client.
I mean the behaviour of these letters in the client is
like English characters not arabic ones.
Please help me
Thanx in advance

I guess you need to enable the Urdu language support in the browser as well.
In IE, Tools-> Internet Options-> General>Languages

File Permissions in 9ias Forms Services (unix)

Hi,
I am generating few files using text_io in a form running on a 9ias server on a solaris box.The file gets generated but is owned by ORACLE user and nobody else has any permission for this file (other than the ORACLE user). What should I do to make the file get generated with all permissions for all.
TIA
Elango.

in the end of your file generation codes, add,
chmod +x yourfilename;

Forms Service verification program problem

I have a java verification program that is run from a HPUX server cron job to check
the status of my 9.0.2.12.2 Oracle 9iAS Forms Services running on a
Windows 2000 server. The program determines if the Forms Services
restarted after a cold, off-hours backup by retrieving and reading
base.htm.
I have 3 windows servers with "identical" configurations of 9iAS Forms
Services. The java verification program works when running against the dev and
test Forms servers but not against the production Forms server. It
did work against the production Forms server until I upgraded to
9.0.2.12.2 a few months ago. The only way to reproduce the problem
against the test Forms server is to rename base.htm so the program
can't find it. default.env,forms90.conf,formsweb.cfg all appear to be
identical. Paths and other environmental variables are identical on
the windows Forms servers. The java program fails or succeeds
consistently on 3 different HPUX servers both in cron and from the
command line.
The error message is: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP
response code: 500 for URL:
http://productionserver:7778/forms90/f90servlet
Java is 1.3.1 on all environments.
import java.io.*;

System.out.println("Opening URL connection ("+url+")");
URLConnection uc = url.openConnection ();
System.out.println("Connecting to URL");

Accessing "http://productionserver:7778/forms90/f90servlet" from IE works fine.
Any clues or ideas are appreciated.
Thanks

I went through the same thing. Look at Appendix II "Case Study" at http://rootshell.be/~yong321/freeware/ckweb.html. Basically, the forms servlet needs some more HTTP headers you didn't pass.

Forms Services availability checking for BIGIP Load Balancer

We are load balancing across a number of 10.1.2.2 Forms servers using a BIGIP load balancer. Currently our load balancing is done based on which server has the "least connections" to the BIGIP. So far we have been using the following test URL to allow BIGIP to check the availability of the Forms Services on each server.
http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?ifcmd=status
This works well however it only checks through to the HTTP level within Forms Services. We encountered a problem when the Forms Services failed to work on a particular server however the above URL showed that everything was OK. The effect of this was that all new users attempting to login were directed to the failed server as this server had the "least number of connections".
After raising an SR with Oracle they advised that the forking of runtime processes had probably failed and this was not detectable by the load balancer with the above URL. So they have recommended a number of options for checking the status of the Forms Services. These are:
a) http://server:port/forms/frmservlet
This loads the default Form and therefore by definition tests the forking of runtime processes. However BIGIP is unable to automatically process the information to distinguish whether the service is up or down. Oracle recommended that if using this method we would need to customise BIGIP to handle the various FRM-xxxx error codes.
b) http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?userid=scott/tiger@YOURDB&form=yourtestform.
fmx
Even more thorough would be to actual log on to the database using a test form as above.
My question is does anyone out there have experience in checking Forms Services availability using these last two methods as I'm not sure how to customize the load balancer so that it can handle the output of these URLs. Also when using the original URL is it normal to load balance using a "least connections" method or do people out there use a different algorithm.
Thanks for any help/advise that you can give.
Regards,
Philippe

Well SR followed up and it looks like the only course of action is to use the standard HTTP check: http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?ifcmd=status ...
... unless that is you want to do some serious customisation. Oracle don't support any other form of checking.
I'm guessing from the lack of responses to this thread that this hasn't been an issue for anybody else ... ???
Any thoughts/suggestions really welcome as we go into production in 4 weeks.
a) What do people recommend for load balancing Forms ... least connection, round robin ... ?
b) Do people use http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?ifcmd=status or have some of you used something else?
Thanks,
Philippe

Detailed info on tuning params for Forms Services for 6i/9iAS

Hi Folks,
I have searched the Oracle site and documentations high and low
for detailed information on tuning of params for Forms Services
on AIX under 9iAS 1.0.2.0. There seems to be non except for
pool=..., record=performance, etc and I have notbeen able to
obtain info on how to tune these params.
I have a goal as follows:
a. To have 4000 Web Forms users connected to the Database thru
the 9iAS/Fomrs Services (this is apart from response time)
b. I have a 4way SP node with 8GB RAM
Initial tests of 100 simultaneous users have indicated that CPU
consumption is between 70% & 90% and the memory consumption is
800MB. Pool was changed from 1 to 10 and 12. There is no change
in CPU usage but memory usage increase to 950MB with increase in
PAGE Faults. Performance collector shows garbage (-ve time count
and -ve %age for certain activities).
Any direction/tips on bettering the thru-put or achieving the
goal is very helpful and greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Giri

There are loads of paper on OTN that talk about tuning the Forms
middle tier. Check out:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/techlisting.html#internet
"How To Tune Your Oracle9iAS Forms Services Applications" as a
start.
The important thing to note is that unlike the database, you
tune the application and not the Forms Services themselves.
Also, it does not really matter what platform you are in terms
of the techniques you use to tune the application.
This should help you and if you have any more specific problems
then please post again.

PSP Vs Oracle 9iAS Form/Report Services

Hi All,
what is the difference in using the PSP and 9iAS Report/Form services, Can i use Oracle Form/Report Services in place of PSP, if so how and if not what i have to check for the other alternatives in ORacle for report/form designing as my project has 1000+ reports.

If the two AS installs are fresh, I suggest that you wipe (uninstall) them both and re-install AS either with BI Forms option or the standalone F & R variant.
Be sure to read the accompanying Installation Guide thoroughly before installing.

Please Help !!!! Form Service Problem

please help !
I wanna add java Fonts to my form service , but i don't know how !!???
someone tell me : what is java font and how I can add it to the Form Service ????????????????????

try:
g.drawLine ( 140, 85, 140, 110 );
When you drew your head you specified g.drawArc( 100, 45, 80, 80, 0, 360);
What you are really saying is:
a) position the circle inside an imaginary rectangle with the top left corner at (100, 45) and make the width of the rectangle 80 and the height 80.
b) the center of this rectangle is
x = 100 + 80/2 = 140
y = 45 + 80/2 = 85
c) therefore draw a circle using (140, 85) as the center point (which is where I started your nose)
Add the following line to your program and you will see how the head fits into the rectangle:
g.drawRect(100, 45, 80, 80);
Hope my explanation helps.

Diff in IAS 9i Form Service Version and Developer 6i Rel 2. Version

Dear all,
I have noticed that Form Server version which comes with the Oracle 9i Application Server (Forms Service Module) is higher than then Oracle Developer 6i Tool Rel. 2 Form Complier version.
It Creates a problem, Form which is complied in Developer 6i Rel 2. gives blazzing result when it deployed it on Oracle 9i Form Server because of the version diff.
Oracle 9i Form Server Version is always higher than Forms Compiler comes with the latest Developer 6i Rel. 2.
Because of this reason we cannot install Developer 6i Rel. 2 and
Oracle 9i Application Server with Form Service on the same machine.
How to solve this.
Best Regards,
Darshan Desai

If you look in metalink, you can get patches for Forms 6i to patch it up to higher levels than rel 2. Any patch from 4 through to 9 will be newer. Choose which patch you want to bring yourself in line with 9iAS. The patch documentation tells you what version it will bring the forms up to.
Each patch superceeds the last so just pick one and apply it.

6i Reports Vs 9iAS Report Services

Hi All,
what is the difference in using the 6i reports and 9iAS Reporting services, as i know that invoking 6i report takes more system resources, will this problem can be resolved by 9iAS Reprot servvices or not, if so how and if not what i have to check for the other alternatives in ORacle for report designing as my project has 1000+ reports.

Hi,
I am not clear about what are you planning to do with psp, are you going to impliment your reports with it or your forms or both.
I'll assume that your comparing reports with psp in this mail.
I am not sure where did you get the notion that psp is faster.
If we compare psp and reports, then both send the sql queries for execution in the DB the same way(this is usually the part that consumes most time). psp will then use the db to do the formating of the report, where reports will use the reports server on the middle tier to do that.
The question of preformance here depends on the platfom they are executing on.
I would suggest a different aproach when comapring the option.
Think about developing a report that is a little more complex then just a table layout.
something like a matrix report or a break report with summaries.
To do this layout and calculation using pl/sql (psp) will take a lot of coding while in reports you do this in a graphical environment.
I think that developing the reports in oracle reports will prove to be more productive. and I also think that you'll be pleasently surprise with the preformance of the reports server.
also remember that reports give you other formats like pdf,csv,RTF that you can't achieve with psp.
I suggest that in order to decide, you pick two or three reports from your 1000 and try to impliment them in both way and see which works best for you.
good luck,
shay

Load Balancing Forms Services with an effective healthcheck

I am in the process of configuring two forms 11.1.2 servers running with weblogic 10.3.5 with multiple forms applications clustered across both physical servers. We are looking to load balance to the various forms applications using a hardware load balancer. Can anyone comment on their experience with setting up effective application healthchecks using either hardware or software load balancers?
For example say that we have 3 applications clustered across 2 servers with the following
URLs:
http://server01:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp1
http://server01:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp2
http://server01:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp3
http://server02:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp1
http://server02:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp2
http://server02:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp3
We would need a checking mechanism on the load balancer that could tell if myapp2 was down on say server01 and therefore block traffic to that application yet keep traffic open for the other 2 apps on the same server.
A specific difficulty with forms is that when the database behind the application is down forms services will return an error message within a displayed error form. From the load balancer's point of view the forms services are "up". We need to find a way of detecting that the application is actually available and not just that the forms services themselves are available. To detect that the forms services are available we might normally use the status check:
http://server01:7777/forms/frmservlet?ifcmd=status
however this will only tell use the availability of the forms services on a physical server and not whether any actual applications are available.
I am aware that f5 do a BIGIP offering that includes some Oracle Forms specific components. Can anyone comment on how they have setup Oracle Forms healthchecks using various load balancing methods. In particular if a load balancer is limited to using WGET commands to check HTTP returned content is there a way of checking a forms application's availability and if not how have other people achieved an effective healthcheck?
Many thanks,
Philippe

Did you ever Get this to work?
I am having some problems trying to load balance with Oracle Forms, Discover and reports Oracle Application Server Release 10g (9.0.4.0.2) and I was wondering if you could help. Has any one ever got this to work consistently? We are an ERP product written mostly in forms (904) and are trying to implement are largest customer there performance issue so we need the load balancing to work. Will also accept other recommendation as cost effective as solutions.

Oracle 9i AS Forms Service - ifWeb60.exe

Hi,
I have an issue while running Oracle Forms 6i applications on Oracle 9iAS. For each access to the application the application server instantiates a new ifweb60.exe process which consumes on an average of 15-30 MB of Memory.As the number of users increase on the application server, the number of instances of ifweb60.exe is so high that the forms service goes down unable to withstand the load. Kindly help me out on this situation.
Thanks in advance.
Venkatesh

This is infact correct. Each user will start up a process; however because each user is running the same application, Forms will share the common information (e.g. Form layout, trigger code)..So the more users you have the more sharing that goes on.
Be also aware that reading the memory for a single user and applying that to a higher number of users is seriously flawed. When there is no contention for memory (which will be the case for a single user) the OS may allocate much more memory than is needed...
There are papers on otn.oracle.com/products/forms that show how you should correctly size an application.

9iAS Reporting Services Vs 6i Reports..urgent

You should read on reports server (which is the report service in 9iAS) on otn report section. otn.oracle.com/products/reports.
This basically let you run reports on the server and not on the client and thus saves you client resources.
