OAS 10G Forms and Reports Forms - Removing old sessions

I am currently running Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 Forms and Reports Services Install.The problem that I am experiencing is that some users don't log out of our application and after 8 hours of inactivity our DB logs the users out of Oracle. This leaves forms sessions attached to the application server. Is there a way that I can remove these connections without having to manually log into Enterprise manager and disconnect them? I was hoping to be able to run a script at night and disconnect all sessions that have been connected for x number of hours or better yet find an option that I can configure in my forms setup to limit connect_time to a certain length of time. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you modfied the timeout parameter ? This will help to exit the application when there is no activity

Oracle Forms and Report Services kill idle sessions

In our Oracle Forms and Report Server many user open session and stay idle, i want to drop such sessions after 10 minutes to free resources.
Please help how to proceed

Default settings for forms session timeout is 15 Minutes. But heartbeat parameter (default 2 minutes) doesn't allow AS to close idle sessions. So define heartbeat=20 in your formsweb.cfg file.
As far as reports are concerned set engineResponseTimeout="15" in your report server configuration file. This setting will not allow any report to remain in the queue for more than 15 minutes.

Migrating Oracle forms and reports from 6i to 10g Application server on Uni

HI Guys,
We are migrating from Oracle forms and reports 6i to 10g.
We will be having application server on Unix box.
I understand following will be the changes i will have to do in this respect -
1. Fonts are to be revisited only Java fonts are supported.
2. Obsolete items, function calls, triggers are to be removed.
My question is since this application can be cross platform application,
Can anyone provide me with changes that I will have to do with configuration files like -
1. Formsweb.cfg,
2. forms.conf
3. default.env
4. registry.dat
Keeping in mind that the application server will be on unix box.
Thanks,
Av.

Java fonts are only supported for the Forms version.
You can use your own fonts for Reports however, there is some legwork to do this. I know because I just went through it.
If you will only being using the PDF output (which for me replaced the Preview mode that existed in 6i), then you have to install the TTF for the missing font, an AFM (use the ttf2pt1 utility to generate the AFM file, but make sure you remove the AFM extension when moving it to Unix). You'll want to use the PDF Subset in the uifont.ali (which exists under the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin directory and add the line underneath the PDF Subset "Font Family Name"="TTF Font Name" The font family name is found when you open the AFM file in textpad or wordpad for the font you generated. This is what you enter. The TTF Font Name is the name the TTF font. You'll have to restart Reports Server after this.
If printing to the printer directly is an option you must have, I will tell you it does not work in Linux right now. You can print to the printer but if the font doesn't exist on the internal memory of the printer, it won't work. There are 3rd party utilities like ORARRP and PDFPrint that can take care of this but, each has its own limitations. The one thing I found with ORARRP is if you generate a Report with an RRPA file extension and open it on Windows, it works great, the printer dialog comes up asking you what printer you want to print too. However, if you call this in Linux/Unix with the filename, it brings it up in the web browser but doesn't prompt you for your printer to print too automatically. So, for me, it's a show stopper. My only other option is to install the fonts on the printer that are missing.
As for the files you want to change, you'll obviously have to make changes to the formsweb.cfg, default.env, forms.conf. I have to modify the reports.sh for some PL/SQL attached libraries to make sure it picks them up. I did have to modify Registry.dat.
There is alot of work but mainly forms wasn't too bad, unless you had fonts that weren't supported. Usually there is another font that you can use to replace the old one but you have to know which fonts exists on the server and try all the keys on the keyboard to find the corresponding keystroke.
Hope this helps.

10g Forms and reports standalone - 64 bit software available?

Hi All,
Is oracle application server 10g forms and reports standalone softaware available in 64-bit version?
Please provide the link to download thye same.
Thanks,
Anand.

1GB of RAM seems to work better. I just upgraded to 1GB from 512MB on a new ThinkPad running XP, 10g release 2 database, and 10.1.2 Application Server (Forms and Reports version). When I had 512, something broke and I wound up resetting the factory defaults using the IBM recovery tool. When I added the extra memory, everything went well. On the other hand, a four-year-old Dell desktop with 512MB works okay. Whatever.

How to change the Forms and Reports's NLS_LANG character set on OAS

Hi,
I'm having problems with the OAS10g's actual character set, when displaying a report made with Reports Builder 10g who has the letter "ñ" it displays "ñ " with a blank space at the final so i need to change this character set for one that suits this requirement.
which file or files should i change ??
could this change affect something else, for example another product in my OAS ??
Regards
Carlos

I have this Forms and Reports Application in Brazilian Potuguese. What I do at new installations is:
1. Open this file: <MiddlewareOracleHome>/forms/server/default.env and add the NLS parameters below the FORMS_PATH definition:
FORMS_PATH=D:\Oracle\home207middle\forms;D:\MYENV\Exe;D:\MYENV\Imagens
NLS_LANG=BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE_BRAZIL.WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS=,.2. Open this file: <MiddlewareOracleHome>/reports/conf/<your_report_server_name>.conf and create an "environment" section with the NLS variables:
   <environment id="MYENV">
      <envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH" value="D:\MYENV\Exe;D:\MYENV\Imagens"/>
      <envVariable name="NLS_LANG" value="BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE_BRAZIL.WE8MSWIN1252"/>
      <envVariable name="NLS_DATE_FORMAT" value="DD/MM/YYYY"/>
      <envVariable name="NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS" value=",."/>
   </environment>For this one to work, the application must set RP2RROREPORTSENV=MYENV before launching the report.

Forms and Reports 10g run on the other client machine

Dear Sir,
Please tell me how to run forms/reports which is compiled/build in ORACLE 10g.
I mean that I have build some forms and reports in Oracle 10g now I want to run them on another client machine without creating oracle application server. Is there any way to run
As example in oracle 6.0 i we only install forms and reports services at client machine and ours froms/ reports are running. Can we do so in 10g also ??
Please guide me about it.
Ghulam Yassen

without creating oracle application server. That is not possible. Forms 10 only runs in web mode, so you need the OAS with the Forms and Reports sever (OAS Enterprise Edition) or the Forms and Reports 10g stand alone server.
in oracle 6.0 i we only install forms and reports services at client machineForms 6i was the last version that you can run in client/server mode.

10g Forms and Reports Stand-Alone Install for Demo Purposes

Hi,
My boss asked me to set-up an Oracle 9i (9.2.0.0) database and OracleAS 10g (9.0.4) Forms and Reports standalone on a laptop she wants to use to demonstrate our Forms and Reports application for a potential customer.
The laptop is P4 with 512MB RAM, running Windows 2K Pro.
Has anyone tried this before? Any suggestions appreciated.
TIA,
Jim

How to deploy the Oracle Forms and Reports 10g in Web?

Hello Frank,
for development, you need to install Oracle Developer
Suite 10g. This includes Forms and Reports.this topic interests me too, because I've downloaded Developer Suite and Database (both for 10g) from Oracle website, installed them, but I couldn't connect to a database.
What should be done for me to create a database link and be able to connect locally, in my personal Desktop computer? (Not to a server)
Once it was told me here that I should download 10g Database - I did it, and installed it, but it didn't work. Later, some of my job partners said I should install them in a sequence - that is, 1st the Developer, and 2nd the Database. But it has failed too. And I don't know how to configure a database connection.
Best regards,

AS 10g forms and reports services install

I only have Developer 9.0.2 loaded. I want to load AS10g Forms and Report Services but I'm not sure how this relates to my old instance of Developer. Should I reuse the Oracle Home of the 9.0.2 Developer instance for the new install or do I need to create a new Oracle Home? I noticed in the OUI that a "complete" Installation Type will also load Developer. Does this mean I should be doing an upgrade rather than an install? Do I need to just trash the 9.0.2 instance and start anew?
Thanks, Chris

Chris,
I suggest to install into a complete new Oracle Home. If you mix two installs you end up with unpredictable behaviours, if not in Forms then possibly in otehr components. Note that this mustn't be the case, but better is.

URL Problem Oracle 10g Forms and Reports

Hello Room,
As this question is related to forms and reports both, I have posted it here. I have a system which needs to be deployed in Local Lan Network and also the same Local Lan user should be able to access the same application via internet. In Addition there are also suppliers, customers who dosen't have oracle installed but will be accessing forms and reports via the url through internet which will be a natted url to our public IP. I have loaded Oracle 11g on windows 7 and all my network clients are on windows 7. I have not loaded forms and reports 10g on server, but only database 11g is installed on server. My problem is listed in points below:-
1. Do I need to install forms and reports on server to achieve the above scenario ? or the local network installation of forms and reports on all client PC's will do ?
2. To start OC4J instance, shall i start it only on server through batch file while booting server, or it needs to be started on all client PC's to start work from client end ?
3. When i run forms from my client PC I get local url http://127.0.0.1/ to reach forms servlet which end up in http://localpc/.... from cookie redirect, whether this needs to be http://server/...... on all client PC's to reach the forms servlet ?
4. If I have to start url http://server/ instead of http://127.0.0.1/... automatically while running every form to reach forms servlet, how to achieve this ?
5. There are reports to be run from forms and parameters needs to be passed in reports from forms 10g. So in web.show_document shall i refer to absolute url for local acccess or http://server url as the same user can go to internet to access the data. ?
6. if I load forms and reports 10g on server, do I need to install forms and reports on client end seperately to gain access in local network ?
7. My forms and reports folders are located on server which are shared for access.
8. What will be the scenario in case of suppliers and customers who does not have anything installed on their PC and will access forms and reports through internet ?
I want to minimize my work. Please suggest me how to proceed about accessing forms, passing url from forms to reports in web.show_document, and Internet access url ?
Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I have tried to explain you in decent way several times that I am not lazy and there are reasons that I do not want to read pdf, because I have already read that all ! In the future please do not respond to my thread. I am not asking for your personal time. If you do not understand my efforts. Just ignore it. I have read all the white papers of Oracle and give me your email id, I will send you all the code which I have read or downloaded. You should know that the knowledge diminish as the technology change. And that does not mean every user in the forum is stupid and as wise as you are. I repeat to state that I have 15 years of experience in Oracle forms 6i._ including Oracle 7,8,9i. This is the first time I am ever visiting oracle forums since past several years. I was the first person to use oracle 7 in my city where people were not knowing what oracle is. At that time I was knowing that the password for scott is tiger which even the reputed institutes in my city was not knowing. at that time I was also knowing that one of the person from oracle made a mistake in indexing the rowid. I think this should be enough to you for now.
