OAS4 + RH5/6 Help!!!!?

Has anyone managed to get OAS4 running on RH5/6 sucessfully?
I have been attempting to get OAS4 with the 4.0.7.1 patch
working on RH6 but as yet I've had no joy. I now have everything
working, but when I try to launch a PL/SQL application via the
admin listener nothing happens, and after looking around I
noticed that the admin listener has died.
I have used the script to work around the ps problems (the cgi
scripts to start OAS use redundant ps options, see below), and
so OAS now starts up correctly.
I have checked the kernel settting NR_TASK and this is 2048.
My host name is set to James, there is no domain name which is
exactly what I specified on installing OAS.
I have altered the max # of connections for all the listeners
and set them to 200 [which prevents the Max Connect Count
exceeds compile time limit (connect limit :
: 256) error -- see below].
Any help, or confirmation if anybody has actually got OAS4
running on RH5 or RH6 would be most appreciated.
James
Work Arounds
I was able to start ORB with some mods to ps command on my RedHat
6.0 and 2.2.11 kernel. Oracle owsctl is using some obsolete
commands to status processes, these don't work "ps mh" and "ps pw
1" and "ps pwww 1"
I renamed /bin/ps to /bin/ps.org
and created /bin/ps with folowing content
chmod +x /bin/ps
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
/bin/ps.org
"pw")
/bin/ps.org -w -p $2 $3 $4
"mh")
/bin/ps.org -h $2 $3 $4
"pwww")
/bin/ps.org -w $2 $3 $4
/bin/ps.org $1 $2 $3 $4
esac
It prevents nesty messages to the console and actual makes OAS
4.0.7 work
You may want to change /usr/src/linux/include/linux/tasks.h
and set NR_TASK to 2048 to increase number of available treads
You will need to recompile kernel to make this change.
Hope this helps!

Ralf -
You can eliminate this message by going into the "Network"
configuration for your "www" listener and changing the "max
connections" parameter to 256 or less

First, Developer 2000 (Forms/Reports 6) was never supported to work on Vista. Second, this version has been desupported for many years. Third, what exactly is your question?
Here is the remaining documentation for Forms 6.0 & 6i. Most other references have been removed since this version is obsolete.

Although completely unsupported, here is some information provided by Steve Cosner regarding installing on Vista:

Help does not launch after upgrading from RH5 to RH7

My problem is similar to CaroMe1's. Topics within chm files
created using RH5 and integrated into our software product launch
correctly when a Help button is clicked on a dialog. After
upgrading to RH7, using the the same project files, chm files
created using RH7 do not launch at all; that is, nothing happens
when a Help button is clicked on any dialog.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

The .chm filename and the .xpj filename are the same.
Sorry if I was swerving and incoherent! I probably shouldn't
have posted after traveling and no sleep!
Here is how I tested for the source of this problem:
1. I created a .chm file using RH 5, integrated it into our
product, clicked on the Help button on any of our dialogs, and the
appropriate Help topic displayed.
2. I created a .chm file using RH 7 (using the exact same
project files as in the previous step), integrated it into our
product, clicked on the Help button on any of our dialogs, and
nothing happened. No topic, no Help. Nothing.
Is that a better description of the problem? (I hope)
Thanks again!

Opening Help Topics - RH5 to RH7

I inherited a RH 5 project a month ago when I joined this
company. They have just purchased RH7 and I installed it and opened
the old project in it. Everything came through fine...until I had
to integrate it with the software product. Now, when I call the c-s
topics from within the product build, I get the same topic (the
first one) every time. Anyone have any idea what might be going
wrong here? Has the new v. changed the way it calls the help? It
seems to have something to do with "map IDs".

Hi CaroMe1
I believe Peter's web hosting service is down at the moment.
You may wish to try using Google to see Google's cache version of
the page. I tried using the search terms "grainge merge webhelp"
and it was the first link listed. It may not work, but I'll try
posting a link to the cached version below.

How can I remove a help file frameset that I mistakenly attached to a specific topic?

I'm using RH7 HTML to update a client's help file that was developed in RH5. The help file opens with an initial topic (Welcome to...) using the frameset that was built for the help file.
In adding a new section to this help file, I somehow linked the help file frameset to one of the new topics. In this new topic's properties, the topic title now shows as the frameset name, but the file name is still the name of the original topic.
I've recreated the new topic and the frameset attaches to it as well.
1. How can I disconnect the frameset from the topic without affecting the entire help file? If so, how?
2. If this isn't possible, is there any other way I can correct this problem?
Thanks!!

How about a screenshot of the relevant portion of the help output (just the upper left quadrant?). I just can't figure what the issue is, sorry.
Save it as a file, and attach that image to your reply, using the little camera thingie.
Good luck,

Question about download file in OAS4

Question about download file in OAS4:
I use Oracle Application Server 4.0.7 on my Windows NT 4.0 SP6;
I use PL/Sql Cartridge developer a document system; It's use the
upload/download in PL/Sql Cartridge;
I read the document , the Upload/download in Pl/Sql Base on the
Oracle Application Server's Content Service. the Problem is when I
download a document, If I upload a Html or MsWord file, It will store in a LongRaw column, when me download ; It's tell me can't
find a application to open this file; I will select a application
from list to open the download file;
As normal, It will open MsWord Automatic when download a "doc" file ; also It will open a new window of Browser to view a Html file;
I check the download process on client Browser; when download
file, The content-type always return "application/octet-stream";
Also the download File will lost the postfix of the file,
So Browser don't open the File Automatic;
I think If I set the correct Content-Type , Browser can know how open the file; So I use owa_content.set_content_type procedure
set the Doc file to "application/msword" , but the WEb Server always
return "application/octet-stream";
I didn't know how to do this problem, Plese help me.

I have a Tecra M2 and rely on your email update to ensure I have the latest drivers on my machine.
When I received a Toshiba support email on 14 April 2005 giving reference to a QFE from Microsoft I assumed it would be necessary for my Tecra.
I was very confused when I found that this QFE and subsequent ones posted on the 16 April 2005 relate to Pre SP2 critical updates no9t required if one has already taken earlier advice of updating to Service Pack, at the very least your narrative should make mention of this. I find it very difficult to believe that your updates are two+ years out of date.

Cannot get simple merged HTML Help project going with context sensitive help

I have built a very simple project in RH9 from scratch, consisting of a main project and a sub-project now after I have modified our large project in changing every hyphens from file and directory names over a couple of days now only to see that context help still doesn't work.
The map IDs are not visible in the main project. To test it in the example, invoke the CSH-Test (context sensitive help test) from the Toolbox, enter !SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\main.chm in the Offline field and a number 57 in the ID field. In our large project I'm getting nothing (no window pops up). In this example I'm getting this mystical error box, saying HH_HELP_CONTEXT called without a [MAP] section.
Christoph

Hi William,
thanks having a look at my problem. I read in another thread today a description which comes close to the problem I'm facing.
Maybe I formed the mini sample not exactly as our problem is situated. (thus the doubled map ids you were claiming).
I will try to explain again: we have a couple of CHMs in separate single help projects. These go into their own TOCs, Index Glossar etc. like in sub1->Einzel. For the merged project we produce a chm that goes into the directory of the master (main) project, like in sub1->Primäres Layout.
Each Topic in the sub project (e.g. sub1->Erstes Thema) has a symbolic link address (e.g. "Linkadresse=det_org_angaben), which is mapped to the MAP ID via the .h file.
This all used to work that way in RH5.
Now it seems that this information between the map ID and the symbolic Linkaddress gets lost with the merge process.
I am not using the same ID (57) twice in my example. The MAP ID in the main project comes from the sub1 project (see the yellow locked MAP ID).
The simplest test is using the CSH-Test in the Toolbox giving the main.chm as the Helpfile to test and enter the 57 as a MAP ID.
The idea behind is to use one CHM later to have to open in the application. The other CHMs of the subprojects only need to be present in the application directory. Then you invoke HtmlHelp(with the MAPID),like I posted in this thread.
The method you are suggesting in mapping the ID to the topic in the main project will not work since the topic is in the CHM of the sub project.
I modified the sample project once again (somehow the baggage files were not showing) to come closer to the constellation we are using in the large project, though I'm getting the "HH_HELP_CONTEXT called without a [MAP] section" error (which does not occur in our large project).

STILL trying to get Oracle to work on linux -- HELP!!

Hi all-- a dumb newbie problem if I may:
I have Oracle 8.0.5 installed now on Linux (RH5.2).. As per the
install instructions, I created a file /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora
containing the following:
# Set ORA_HOME to be equivalent to the ORACLE_HOME
# from which you wish to execute dbstart and
# dbshut
# set ORA_OWNER to the user id of the owner of the
# Oracle database in ORA_HOME
ORA_HOME=/home/oracle/8.0.5.0.0
ORA_OWNER=oracle
if [! -f $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart -o ! -d $ORA_HOME]
then
echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
exit
fi
case "$1" in
'start')
# Start the Oracle databases:
su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart &
'stop')
# Stop the Oracle databases:
su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut &
esac
In the instructions, it then says:
5) Link dbora by entering:
# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc0.d/K10dbora
# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc2.d/S99dbora
.. this is where I am assuming it is set so that this dbora gets
executed on system boot.. correct?
Anyway, it doesn't work. First of all, I am logged in as root.
Second of all, I am assuming the # signs in there are a mistake
since they are comments in the bash shell. Third of all, if I
just try:
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc0.d/K10dbora
It returns an error saying:
ln: cannot create symbolic link `/etc/rc0.d/K10dbora' to
'/etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora': No such file or directory
So, I tried a 'ls /etc/rc*' and I got:
init.d rc.local rc.sysinit rc1.d rc3.d rc5.d
rc rc.news rc0.d rc2.d rc4.d rc6.d
... so, rc0.d IS there... so, THEN I tried: ls /etc/rc0.d and
got:
ls: /etc/rc0.d: No such file or directory
huh?? why won't this work? does it or doesn't it exist?
Thanks for any help.

A very obnoxious feature of ls in many UNIXes is that
'ls foo*' will show you the contents of the
subdirectory that matches foo* without reminding you that
the file names you are seeing displayed are NOT in your
current directory but, rather, in some subdirectory whose
name happens to begin with foo (you have NO IDEA, precisely,
WHICH directory contents you are seeing.)
For example, in RedHat 5.2, do the following:
cd /etc
ls pp*
What you will (probabably) see displayed APPEARS to be a
list of files in /etc:
chap-secrets ip-down ip-up options pap-secrets
What, IN FACT, you are seeing are files in /etc/ppp.
One way to avoid this confusion is to use the -d option to ls.
'ls -dl pp*' will display one line, showing you the existence
of the directory ppp within /etc, rather than its contents.
As an exercise, also try doing: ls -dF /etc/p*
And, don't forget to thourougly read: man ls
Continuing to the specific problem at hand...

The problem here is [email protected] thinking that ls /etc/rc*
was showing him files in /etc. This was not the case. Rather,
ls /etc/rc* was showing him a list of file names in /etc/rc.d
and rc0.d in in /etc/rc.d, not in /etc.
This further implies that the Oracle instructions (as quoted by
[email protected]) are incorrect. Instead of:
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc0.d/K10dbora
On should instead do:
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K10dbora
(and similarly for other startups)
(at least this is how the file system on my RedHat 5.2 is
structured -- your milage may vary -- another somewhat
annoying issue with the different UNIXes -- but they all
still make NT amd its registry nonsense look silly)

Links do not work RH5 to RH 8

I upgraded a context sensitive, Oracle Help output, from RH5 to RH8. Now several of the old topic ID links do not work. The links are not "broken" and some links within the same topic work and some do not. It gives the message that the address is invalid on the non-working links. Also, the help system does not work when the "search" functionality is used.

Dear jscher2000, thank you for your response! I'm running 16.01 version, so the 3.6.20 version isn't the correct one. I've updated it yesterday.
I also have to mention that today everything seems to work just fine! :) I don't experience the problems anymore and all links work again just normally, eventhough I'm logged into Facebook account. Maybe it was just a temporary bug.
I couldn't say what was the reason to that solution, but I'm glad there aren't problems anymore with Mozilla.
Thank you again and best regards,
Nina

Layout Status not updated following upgrade of RH5 project to RH7

I have over thirty RH5 projects to upgrade to RH7 with two
layouts for each: Microsoft HTML Help (Primary Layout) &
Printed Documentation.
While upgrading the first project I noticed that running the
File > Batch Generate... option following the upgrade does not
update the layout Status to "Generated". I found out that the
layout files are actually updated but the Status still shows as
"Out of date".
Running File > View Primary Layout (after running the
Batch Generate) displays the message, "Microsoft HTML Help output
is out of date. Would you like to compile before running?" with
Yes, No and Cancel options. Clicking the Yes button generates the
Primary Layout again, but this does not update the layout Status to
"Generated" either.
For the status of your layouts to be updated you must close
your upgraded project, reopen it & generate the layouts again.
I have spent much of this afternoon confirming the above
information, I hope that this posting saves you some time that
might be spent wondering why your layout status is not
updating.

You may need to stop all processes of the shadow instance that are running with the old limitations. I'd try the following:
ps -ef | grep sapstart
then kill the process of the shadow instance (check for the system number of the shadow instance to identify).
I'd also try to stop the instance first so all shared memory segments are cleared - and then try to manually start it:
cd <upgrade-directory/bin
./SAPup stopshd
./SAPup startshd
You may assign the user directly to the project but this won't be taken into account if the assignment is not set in /etc/user_attr.,

TOC problems after RH5 - RH7 upgrade

Hello,
I use RoboHTML to create help projects.
After upgrading one with several subprojects from RH5 to RH7
the following problem occurs:
the TOC of the subproject is not incorporated in the main
TOC, instead the name of the subproject is shown. when clicking
this, the subproject is opened in a new tab (tested on Firefix3 and
Opera9.5), virtualy as a separate project.
The same project was previously published with RH5, with the
subprojects correctly linked.
Also, I reveive the attached java error (again not existing
with RH5) when opening the start page. if I substitute the newly
generated WebHelp.jar with the old one (generated by RH5) the error
ceases but the TOC problem persists.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot,
Norbert

I recently tested the 9.0.1 upgrade and the hotfix for 9.0.1, but the problem still exists. However, "ColdFusion Jedi" Raymond Camden came up with a workaround. You can read about it here:
http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2010/9/16/Followup-to-CFGRID-MultiRow-Post
The problem occurred when the Adobe team that released the 9.0.1 upgrade added "multi-row select" functionality to the HTML/AJAX version of CFGRID, but they failed to include the same ID-passing functionality of the previous "single-row select" implementation.
I created a more generic version of Raymond's javascript function which finds the selected row(s). This javascript must reside on every page which contains an HTML cfgrid:
<script type="text/javascript">
function getSelected(gridName,idName) {
    obj = ColdFusion.Grid.getSelectedRows(gridName);
    var selected = "";
    for(var i=0; i<obj.length; i++) {
      if(selected == "") selected = obj[i][idName];
      else selected += "," + obj[i][idName];
    document.getElementById('selectedRowIDs').value = selected;
    return true;
</script>
To force the selected row's ID (or other) field to be passed to to the subsequent page, you must include the following in your CFFORM tag (the field name MUST BE in ALL CAPS):
     onSubmit="return getSelected('gridName','FIELDNAME')"
Example: <cfform name="itemGridForm" action="editItems.cfm" method="post" onSubmit="return getSelected('itemGrid','ITEMID')"...>
You must also include the following hidden field in your cfform which contains the cfgrid:
    
     <cfinput type="hidden" name="selectedRowIDs" id="selectedRowIDs">
On the called page, FORM.selectedRowIDs will contain a list of the selected rows' ID fields (or whichever field you choose when calling the Javascript function).

Upgrading WCS with RH5.x - do I have the correct files

Hi All,
My supplier seems to be just as ignorant as me regarding the following:
I have a disc labelled 'WCS-WLSEU-RH5-Upgrade.iso' - will I be able to upgrade my WCS' OS (running on RH4 on a WLSE appliance) with this disc, or is it actually for converting a WLSE to WCS (and our supplier has given me the wrong thing- which is what I am afraid of)?
Many Thanks for any help you can give,
Scott

Hi
The image that you have will upgrade the operating system to red hat 5.0. This version is a requeriment if you want to use WCS 5.0 and higher.
You have to burn the image in a CD and boot with this CD in order to perform the upgrade.
Where do you find this image, I have been searching it in the cisco web site but i can`t find it.
Would you mind telling me , where is located this iso file?
Thanks in advanced

Is there any bug that I should know, or any cartrix that I have
to add before running the demo? Thanks for any help.

IE4.0 does not support XML as it is. You'll need to add XML Parser to IE4.0. It was available from MS site.
I have IE5.0 working with NT4.0 SP5 and with OAS4.0 so it does work.
If you're trying to use XSQL servlet, IIS4.0 does not support JDBC. You'll need to add some software like JRUN.

What Happened to my RoboHelp Help?

This is RH5. I haven't used it for maybe a month or so, and
today, while I was trying to display online help, it simply
wouldn't display. I'm assuming this has something to do with the
Windows updates that are automatically applied to my computer while
I'm home sleeping, but I don't know what to do to get the help
back.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?

How to run Forms 5.0 Applications on OAS4.0.7 (Cartridge Ver

PL/SQL, Live HTML, JCORBA, WebC . I don't find a corresponding
Application for forms. The documentation doesn't speak any thing
