ORACLE FORMS and Forms Services :) - DBA needs assistance

Hey all
Ok - never used oracle forms apart from setting up services (out of the box).
I am now about to start supporting Oracle Forms in an 1i E-Business Environment and want to understnd how it all hangs together (ports, URL mappings, Web Interfaces with Apache, deployment, monitoring/configuration)
I am reading
http://download-west.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/forms/forms/A73071_01.pdf
which explains all about the various base.htm files as well as the architecture - but I need a better understanding of the internls of the 'forms service' and how it sits together with Apache to allow forms content to be delivered.
Anyone got some basics for me or a URL ???
Also
Anyone can show me how to display the test.fmx form through Forms 6i delivered with EBIS 11i ??
thanks

Hi Grant
Thanks for update.
Have read most of the concepts/arhictecture doco.
The seconds doco - on pages 32/33 I understand ...................except
1) I am running Forms 6i (Part of 11i Ebis Technology Stack) not Forms9i
2) I get how this can be configured to run One Form - but how does the application such as EBIS handle the request passing the user session between forms - is just as simple as an "on event" .."do x" type scenario ?? eg When user clicks this link go to URL(b) ??
Basically could you explain 1+2 as well as tell me the steps required to deploy the test.fmx form file through the 6i Forms Service running as part of the EBIS suite installion ???
I am trying to get a full end-to-end picture of the process and configurtion files involved.
cheers

  • Can I use Oracle Forms Services 11g with Database 9.2.0.8.0?

    Hi everyone.
    My department is evaluating development tools in order to build new web applications, and also possibly to migrate current applications buit with Oracle Forms 6.0.5.34.0. Our database is Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit.
    We have read that the newest Oracle Forms version is Oracle Forms Services 11g. Is Oracle Forms Services 11g compatible with Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit? or would we have to migrate our RDBMS to Oracle 11g?
    If our database is compatible, what would we need to develop and deploy applications with Oracle Forms Services 11g?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Wheter it's compatible or not: Database 9.2.0.8 is in sustaining support which means you won't get patches for it. So even if it is compatible I'd opt to upgrade to a newer version, as I wouldn't feel comfortable having a not-supported product out in production.
    Have a look at the certification matrix for supported configurations
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/fmw-11gr1certmatrix.xls
    As for the requirements; most things can be found on the forms homepage on OTN:

    or at the documentation:

  • How can hide the word oracleas forms service in applet

    my dears :
    if I want to appear the name of our company in applete instead of this word oracleas forms service
    how
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Copy your image (either .gif or .jpg) in %devsuite_home%/forms/java for example for me it's : C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\java
    Then in your formsweb.cfg point to your image begining with /forms :
    # Forms applet parameter
    background=/forms/java/logocca.gif
    Restart your oc4j
    Launch your application.
    NB : The names are case sensitive, i.e /forms/java/logocca.GIF will not work
    It's important to mention /forms/java/ because your c:/ is not seen by the web server

  • Oracle Forms Services: Forms -- Applets

    Hi there, anyone of you worked with Oracle Forms Services before? I'm looking for users comments. Oracle says that there are no performance issues running the forms as applets but I was wondering if any one of you guys tried it.
    Also, I was wondering what kind of web applications Oracle Forms Services was made for? I'm under the impression that it's more for private uses ( Inside a company ). Is it safe to run those applets on the web in commercial sites? Is it appropriate?
    My impression is that the applets generated by Oracle FDorms Services are not meant for the worl wide web.
    Please give me your thoughts on this.
    Thanks!

  • Oracle Fusion Middleware Forms Services title need to be change in JRE

    Hi,
    When i run the form in the Runtime(JRE) . I ran the form in separateFrame=true and it is working fine ,but it show "Oracle Fusion Middleware Forms Services" in the
    title of the JRE .. I need to change the title and ICON of the JRE.
    Where do i need to change .. please help.
    Regards
    Mani

    but if you put separateFrame=True .. and that pagetitle is working when separateFrame=False .... >
    This setting changes the default title of the Browser window that your Forms Application runs in. If you want to change the title of the Forms Applet window you would need to set the title through code in your Form using the Set_Window_Property() built-in. For example:
    /* This sets the title of the Window named "WINDOW1" */
    Set_Window_Property('WINDOW1',TITLE,'This is my Window title.');
    /* This set the title of the Applet Window */
    SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,TITLE,'This is my Application Title');Just set the title in the first form displayed by your application. There is no need to set it in each form, unless of course you want to change the title as you navigate through your application. : - )
    Hope this helps,

  • Oracle Form Services Installation (Test.fmx) Trigger Not working

    Hi
    I install oracle BI and forms Services on oracle application infrastructure after installation i run the following command "http://ora.server.com:7778/forms/frmservlet?config=testfrm" it will show the form "form services install sucessfully" but when i do a certain cusmization on it i.e. put a one text box on that text put put a key_next tigger in which i show a alert message only. After Customization i run a same URL it will again show that form with the changes but the trigger (Key_next) will not fire
    I don't understatnd why tigger is not working or fire.

    So we understand things correctly,
    You are running a form and a trigger won't fire. What kind of trigger? A when-button-pressed, or a key-next-item, or something else? I don't believe key_next is a valid trigger.
    If you are using a key trigger, you need to make sure that the keys are mapped as you expect. You can see how the keys are mapped in the menu under Help => Keys when you run the form. Make sure the button is mapped like you expect. Additionally, you can modify the mapping by updating the resource file, but that's kind of outside the scope of this...
    This type of questions really is suited for the Forms forum under Developer Tools => Forms at: Forms
    If you need more help, post there. The focus of that section if Forms.

  • Oracle Forms Service hangs while run time

    I have Oracle 10g, I have a from (10g) I compile and generate when I try to run from Forms Builder, I hang in a screen while is said "Oracle Application Server - Forms Service" any iideas what might be wrong of what should I check

    This sounds like a configuration issue to me. Have you modified the "default.env" file (found in %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\server) to include the path to your form in the FORMS_PATH variable? Have you installed the Oracle Jinitiator or modified the formsweb.cfg file to use the Sun JRE? If you have installed the Jinitiator or are using the Sun JRE, what version did you install? The formsweb.cfg file defaults to Jinitiator version: 1.3.1.26 and Sun JRE version: 1.4.2_06. If you have a newer version installed you will need to update the version in the formsweb.cfg to match the installed version.
    Hope this helps,
    Craig...

  • What is an Oracle Client and why is it needed

    Hi,
    I have an application that is using an Oracle database as data source. Application and database is located on two different servers. Now I will move application to a new server and to do this I need to install an Oracle client and install this on the new application server. From my understanding this Oracle client is needed to make it possible for the application server to communicate with the database server. I wonder if someone can tell me more about this Oracle client, functionality, role and why it is needed?
    I have been recommended to install the Oracle client 10g version. Where can I download this together with instructions of installation process?
    FYI - database used is Oracle 10g EE.

    Third-party products (and Oracle's own too) need certain Oracle DLLs in order to connect to the database. This set of files is called the Oracle client. You may also want to learn about tnsnames.ora because you need to edit it in order to use Oracle client to Oracle database.

  • Oracle optimizer and heterogeneous services (Transparent Gateway for ODBC)

    Hi everyone!
    We have the following configuration:
    Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production.
    Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC 11.2.0.2.0 on the same machine as Oracle DB.
    Non-Oracle DB installed on a different hardware accessed through Oracle Gateway for ODBC via dblink.
    Now, we have to query the remote non-Oracle system and retrieve some data. For the sake of brevity let's suppose we have the following table in our non-Oracle DB:
    create table test (
         ip_address varchar(15),
         start_time datetime,
         end_time datetime
    And we run the following SQL query against the remote table on our Oracle DB:
    SELECT start_time,end_time,ip_address
    FROM remote_table@db_link
    WHERE
    end_time >= to_date('2011-10-11 00:00:00','rrrr-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')
    OR (
    end_time IS NULL AND start_time >= to_date('2011-10-11 00:00:00','rrrr-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')
    AND start_time <= to_date('2011-10-12 00:00:00','rrrr-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')
    AND ip_address = '127.0.0.1';
    But, having query monitoring on the remote DB enabled, we see that the actual query on the remote site looks like this:
    SELECT "START_TIME","END_TIME","IP_ADDRESS"
    FROM "REMOTE_TABLE"
    WHERE "IP_ADDRESS"='127.0.0.1' AND "START_TIME"<=?
    All references to END_TIME column are gone from WHERE clause for whatever reason.
    However, Oracle execution plan shows us the following:
    | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time | Inst |IN-OUT|
    | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 27 | 200 (0)| 00:00:03 | | |
    |* 1 | FILTER | | 1 | 27 | 200 (0)| 00:00:03 | | |
    | 2 | REMOTE | REMOTE_TABLE | | | | | DB_LINK | R->S |
    Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
    1 - filter("END_TIME">=TO_DATE('2011-10-11 00:00:00','rrrr-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') OR
    "END_TIME" IS NULL AND "START_TIME">=TO_DATE('2011-10-11 00:00:00','rrrr-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'))
    Remote SQL Information (identified by operation id):
    2 - SELECT "END_TIME","IP_ADDRESS","START_TIME" FROM "REMOTE_TABLE" WHERE
    "IP_ADDRESS"='127.0.0.1' AND "START_TIME"<=:1 (accessing 'DB_LINK' )
    This actually means that Oracle CBO decided that it will apply filter on END_TIME column after having retrieved the data from the remote site. We don't want this behaviour but have no idea how to affect execution plan in this case.
    So, the question is: How can we force Oracle CBO to not change the initial query and pass it to the remote site "as is"? Is there any way we can achieve this goal?

    Hi,
    Our Oracle DB and Gateway are running on the following system:

    The following SQL code is executed in SQLPlus:

    The non-Oracle DB is CopperEye Retrieval Server with its own custom ODBC driver.
    CopperEye query log shows that the following query is received from Oracle Gateway:
    01/11/2011 14:26:31 - NEW QUERY :
    SELECT "END_TIME","IP_ADDRESS","START_TIME" FROM "IP_ACC_COMPLETE" WHERE "IP_ADDRESS"='127.0.0.1' AND "START_TIME"<=?
    which complies with the information in Oracle Gateway trace file.
    So, it seems that it's Oracle DB decision to split the original WHERE clause into two parts, delegate one part to the remote site, retrieve the data and then apply the remaining filter locally.

  • Customer Service Complaint - Need Assistance ASAP and not getting it!

    I sent in my Yoga Laptop for repairs two weeks ago. When I spoke with technical support, I was told that my laptop would be fixed within 7 business days, and returned to me. These 7 business days have since passed and I have yet to receive an update on my laptop, let alone my actual laptop. When I called to complain about this to 1-877-453-6686, I was told I would be getting a call back from customer service within 48 hours. These 48 hours have also passed and have not yet received a call. I called again today to find out what was happening and was told nothing more than "you will be contacted by them within 48 hours". 
    I was supposed to leave for Europe this past Sunday, and was told by the person I originally spoke to that I would have my laptop by then. Nope. Nothing. I am now leaving next Sunday and am very worried I will have to go purchase a new laptop, at my own cost, because Lenovo is unable to uphold to their customer service standards and provide me with any feedback. I am at the point of filing a complaint about the company to the Better Business Bureau here in Canada, but I feel the problem would best be resolved if Lenovo actually contacted me back. I have been without a laptop for 2 weeks now, and as a student, this is too long!! 
    Lenovo Customer Service, please contact me ASAP! I am not a happy customer right now and you guys have caused me way more stress than I need. 
    Thank you!

  • Oracle Workflow and Web Services

    Hi
    does anyone know whether we could handle Web Services from within Oracle Workflow?

    There is a white paper on OTN about communicating between BPEL and Workflow using java event subscriptions - all you need is to have BPEL installed as well. If you can do that, you should be able to communicate with web services.
