Oracle Dev Suite on Citrix

Hi,
I'm hoping that someone out there will have a similar situation and can help. First, I'm not a DBA or Developer. I'm a Windows/Citrix administrator. I'm in charge of a Citrix farm running Oracle Developer Suite 10G and Toad. The actual database is on the Sun Solaris side. Our developers use SunRay thin clients connecting to the UNIX side first then running a UNIX ICA client to access the Citrix farm and the Oracle Dev. Suite.
I inherited the whole configuration and the only thing I can do is to build new, faster servers on the Windows side to help the developers. The environment is such a mess though and there is no documentation. None of the developers are configured just alike and none of them understand anything about what is happening behind the scenes. All they know is that they have problems and are frustrrated. Any help, any usable suggestions (other than trashing the whole system) will be greatly appreciated.
What I'd like to do is:
Install and configure the application suite, creating a standard configuration and documentation.
Configure/Tune Windows/Citrix and Oracle to perform optimally in our environment
Configure developer roaming profiles/home directories optimally for Oracle suite use
Configure settings within the suite to tune/optimize performance
Current Configuration:
Windows 2003 Server Std., SP3 - 32 bit
Citrix Metaframe XPe, SP3, FR3
Sun Solaris UNIX 10
Oracle Developer's Suite 10G
Again, any help will be really appreciated as our DBA and Dev team cannot help. It is up to me to figure out what will work best and then to document it so it can be reproduced next time we upgrade. Which reminds me, we're also looking to upgrade to 64bit, Windows 2008 Server Std., Citrix XenApp 5.0 in the very near future. If anyone has any information to share on this, I'd really appreciate that too!
Thanks in advance!
Connie

Three tier architecture using oracle dev suite 10g & oracle database 9i

hi ,
I am trying to build a software which will manage the database of a hospital through usual form design .
The tools I am using for these are
(1) oracle server database 9i (2) oracle developer suite 10g (3) windows xp professional service pack 2 .
I have designed the form modules in developer suite , created the tables in the database , connected those tables to the form modules using dml statements, now data can be inserted , updates and deleted through the form design . I have also deployed the forms using "run forms through web" and thereby other computers connected to the main computer through lan can also access the software using the web port address and the name of form to be used , these computers are not having oracle developer suite or oracle database installed , but they can access the software through the browser .
In this scenario my question is that , is this a three tier architecture as oracle database is the first tier , oracle developer suite is the middle tier where I am puting all the bussiness logics and oc4j instance is used to connect the database and the dev suite , and for user interaction we have the browser as the third tier ?
or this is a two tier architecture ? if this is a two tier architecture please let me know how can I implement a three tier architecture using oracle developer suite 10g and oracle server database 9i .
Thanks a lot for showing ur interest to read this

You need Oracle Application Server to deploy the forms when you go live.
What you are currently using OC4J which came in the developer suite. It is used only for development purpose and can not have capacity to handle higher load.
3 tier arch
1. Thin Client :-> Browser
2 Middle tier -> Oracle Appln Server /OC4j(in ur case)
3 Database Tier -> Oracle Database

Oracle Dev Suite and Oracle DB Server on same machine

I have Oracle 10g database server already installed.
Now I want to install Oracle Development Suite 10g on the same machine.
Should they be installed in the same or separate Oracle home?
Is their anything I need to be aware of when installing?
Thanks!

Install the Developer Suite in its own Oracle Home.
Think to adapt the tnsnames.ora file of the Dev Suite path to connect Forms/Reports to your database.

Re-installation of a damaged/partial install of Oracle Dev Suite 10g (9.0.4

Hi
First of apologies if this is the incorrect location to post - I couldn't find a dedicated forum!!
My problem is this......
I have followed Oracle's guidelines and created a silent installation of the full Dev Suite 10g (9.0.4) and have used this many times successfully to install to fully patched Windows XP Pro workstations.
Periodically the installation fails and only partially completes....no problem I naively thought - reinstall.
Initially I tried re-installing over the top of the partial install - but this always fails with the error "You have specified a non-empty directory to install this product...etc"
Oracle's recommended method is to uninstall and then reinstall - except the installer doesn't think anything is installed.
The obvious thing was then to delete all folders and files pertaining to Dev Suite....this also failed with the same message!!
I extended my deletion to temp folders, windows\prefetch and the registry......still fails!!
Frustratingly the java installer doesn't have the force reinstall switch that the windows installer has....gggrrrr...
So I had the mad idea of watching a manual install......this generated the non-empty folder error......so I deleted the folders and hey bisto!! Then I started getting these errors "The value of the environment variable path is more than 1023 characters. This value cannot be set."
I even tried creating a response file against a damaged install.....failed with both of the above errors.
Now I am stuck....if only Oracle used a decent windows installer!!
I did think to check the installation on a virgin build workstation - success....
I really hope someone can help me with this as it's driving me mad!!
Please help
Thanks in advance

Many thanks Sainath.....
This has certainly helped......the limitation appears to be in the java installer......it seems to check whether there is enough space in the Env Var PATH and errors if there is insufficient space.
Of course the installer was written in pre SP2 days when the Env Vars were limited to 1023 characters......todat SP2 allows 2047 characters.
My installation script now temporarily modifies the PATH variable, allows the installation and then returns the PATH variable to its original state and then adds the DevSuite paths.
I can now smile again.
Thanks

Oracle developer suite 10.1.2.0.2 : OUI crashes Fedora 5

Hi!
I'm willing to reinstall Oracle dev suite 10.1.2.02 on my
fedora 5 box (oracle forms is behaving improperly).
But when I launch OUI's runInstaller from Disk1 (copied on hard disk) it starts but
soon it make my Desktop env crash, (causing a log out).
Has anyone encountered the same problem?
For notice, I have attempted some days ago an unsuccessfull installation
of wxWidgets (wxX11).
Help help and Help.

Hi!
I think I've got the solution to the above problem.
It has something to do with the xorg-x11-libs libraries.
So what I did was as follows:
- downloaded and install xorg-x11-libs-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm (from Fedora 3 CD repository).
#>rpm -Uvh xorg-x11-libs-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm
- redirected current libXtst.so to the new libXtst.so* installed in /usr/X11R6/lib, but didn't delete the files for possible backup:
#>mv /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6.1 /usr/lib/libXtst_so_6_1 # replaced '.' with '_'
#>ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6.1 /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6.1
- Gone to $ORACLE_HOME/bin (home where oracle dev is installed), and executed:
#>./relink all &> ../install/make.log
- Read the make.log file to detect any possible errors
- And the libXtst.so.6 linking problem was gone!!!
I hope this will help anybody with the same problem.

Dev suite

Hi i have installed Application Server 10g Infrastructure and Business Intelligence on Win XP SP1. Later i added Dev Suite for forms and reports development.
when i installed AS, it created a DB. I named it infra. I can log into the DB using sql interface.
My question is, how do i log into the database (infra) using forms developer in Dev Suite.
Dev Suite also install sql interface. Does it create its own DB. How do I log in.
Thank you, n advance

I still haven't solved the problem.
The default connection to the database is port 1521. I'm using this port for Oracle AS. I want to connect to the DB for Oracle Dev Suite (forms&reports). Is it possible to connect using diff port. Which port should I use so that it doesn't conflict with the active connections. I have tried using 1800, 1580, 1521, and few others. I used netstat cmd line in MSDOS to check which ones i could use, but still no luck.
Should i install the dev suit in diff home dir. I have installed AS in c:\oracle\inf
and dev suit in c:\oracle\dev.

Ins_plsql (install problem) Dev Suite 9i on RH 8

Hello,
I am having trouble in installing Oracle Dev Suite 9i on RedHat 8. I am getting a make error for ins_plsql.mk.
"Error invoking target of makefile - 'ins_plsql.mk'. Its a linker error I guess. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Regards,
Keith

This is the "Binutils Issue". It can be solved by downgrading binutils or by the method below, which worked for me installing iDS902 on SuSE 8.1.
I did hit another error after fixing this one with the ins_reports.mk and ins_forms.mk, but everything else works works. Evidently these issues have to do with /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2.1 missing, which comes from the openmotif package.
An essential document for Oracle9i on Linux is
http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml
The solution below is taken from that. There are some other solutions if this gives you trouble (it worked for me).
Edit the file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh and change the following line (people have sent me emails pointing out that this also works for Mandrake 8.1 and Mandrake 8.2):
LD_SELF_CONTAINED="-z defs"
to read:
LD_SELF_CONTAINED=""
Then run the script $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh as the user "oracle" and not as the user "root". Also make sure you have all the Oracle environments set! (I got so many emails because people were not doing this)
$ su - oracle
$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh
Created /opt/oracle/product/9.0.1/lib/libclntst9.a
$
After that hit retry in the error popup. This always worked for me. (I was told that this also works for SuSE 8.0.)

Startup errors on Oracle 9i Dev Suite frm Unix srvr

Trying to startup Dev Suite from a Windows 2000 client. The Developers Suite is installed on a Sun Blade Unix server. From Xterm I enter the command ./f9090desm.sh to run the Forms application and get the following errors:
FRM-91111: Internal Error: window system startup failure
FRM-10039: Unable to startup the Form Builder.#
Is this because of a problem with my environment settings? Should I be trying to identify a wrapper that will set the environment and run that first? If so, how do I identify the wrapper file? What can the SA do to assist in this?
Bill

You definitely need some environment variables set. The most common cause of this error is failure to set the DISPLAY variable. If you do a search on MetaLink for the combination of those two errors, you should see articles that will help you. One such article is Note.1075912.6 Troubleshooting FRM-91111 internal error - window system startup failure followed by FRM-10039, which contains several suggested solutions.

Forms demo for Oracle developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2

Hello people,
I have tried to follow the instructions for the form demo and have installed Oracle devleoper sute 10.1.2.0.2.
In the instructions it instructs you to edit the
%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\j2ee\formsapp\formsweb\WEB-INF\web.xml
where %ORACLE_HOME% is the home directory of the devloper suite. Now then, when you goto the %ORACLE_FORMS%\forms\j2ee directory there is no formsapp directory, only three files,
formsapp.ear
formsoc4j.properties and
orion-web.xml.
When I run OC4J i get
09/04/02 13:08:30 Error instantiating application at file:/G:/oracle/DevSuiteHom
e_1/forms/j2ee/formsapp.ear: Unable to find/read assembly info for G:\oracle\Dev
SuiteHome_1\forms\j2ee\formsapp (META-INF/application.xml)
09/04/02 13:08:31 Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (10.1.2.0.2)
initialized
At this point I don't know what to do!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Wayne.

Hi,
I have had a look at my installation, and what I did was create two directories called disk1 and disk2, (for the two extracted zip files) and then ran setup in the disk 1 directory. So I don't know if it was aware of the disk 2 directory.
I am re-installing it now. So I will get back to you.
Thank you very much for getting back so quickly.
Regards
Wayne.

Difference between Oracle developer suite 9i and 6i

Hi -
Can I know what's the release difference between oracle developer suite 9i and 6i , and what's new in oracle discoverer 9i in compare with last version , we have discoverer version of 4.1...
I could not able to get from metalink anything like new features in 9i deve;oper suite.
Existing oracle financial application 11.5.8 have their forms and reports in 6i version.
What impact will have if changed with new version of application 11.5.10 in future .

Oracle Developer Suite 9i is now called Oracle 9iDS. Oracle also sells Oracle 9iAS. You need to license iAS in order to run application created using iDS.
9i is fully J2EE compliant. It offers improved integration between components. Its much more feature rich than 6i. See:
http://www.oracle.com/ip/develop/ids/
for more information.
what's new in oracle discoverer 9i in compare with last versionThis question is best asked in Discoverer Forum.
What impact will have if changed with new version of application 11.5.10 in future Reports offers backward compatibility between 6i and 9i reports with a few exceptions. See Oracle Reports Obsolescence plan on OTN:
