R12 form server in socket mode

Hi All,
This afternoon, the form server randomly crash. We are in socket mode so it's not handle by OPMN.
I am trying to find why but I cannot find anything useful in the form socket.log file ($INST_TOP/logs/ora/*2/forms).
No error either in database alert.log.
Is there any other log that I should look at?
Any reason why randomly the form server would crash? It never happened before.
Thank you

Felix,
Can you find any core dump files?
If no errors can be found in the logs then I believe you need to consider enabling debug and wait till the issue happen again and check the logs then.

R12 form socket mode

Hi All,
On our 12.0.4 instance, we switch the form server from Servlet to socket successfully and been running in prod few months without any problems.
Our issue is on the dev/test server.
We run 2 instances per test servers. If both instances run in socket mode, the adformsrvctl.sh has some issue:
- adformsrvctl.sh status will return status "Forms Server (Socket) is not running" but it is up and running correctly. The frmsrv process is there and the frmweb also;
- when we do adstpall.sh, when it will try to shutdown the frmsrv, it will say the process is not up and will skip it. We then have to manually kill all the processes;
- when we do adstrtal.sh, when it will try to start the frmsrv, it will return an error, but the frmsrv was started correctly.
Both frmsrv use different port number. 1 per instance.
The workaround we use is to have 1 instance in Servlet mode and the other one in socket mode.
Anyone every had this issue?
Any suggestion?
Thank you,
Felix

Hi Schavali,
When we check the status, it gives "Forms Server (Socket) is not running"
When we do the adstpall.sh, because the script sees it as down, it gives:
You are running adformsrvctl.sh version 120.9.12000000.7
Stopping FORMS Server (Socket Mode) ...
Forms Server is not running
adformsrvctl.sh: exiting with status 200
.end std out.
.end err out.
In the adstpall.sh log file, at the end, we even see:
Other Services OracleFormsServer-Forms CONTEXT_NAME adformsrvctl.sh Failed
For the start, looking in the log file, it seems to work. Eventhough, if we do a status after the start, it says "Forms Server (Socket) is not running".
Thank you,
Felxi

Forms 6i over the intranet using default socket mode.

Hi
Problem Description
I've managed to install the s/w forms6i, Oracle 8i(8.1.6) and WebDB 2.2 all on an NT machine. I'm trying to run the Forms6i demo - "Healthy Living Application" after installing the setup data. This error occurs SOMETIMES when I try and run my form in my IE 5.0 browser. (I have managed to get this working but it is not consistant!!)
I Start the forms server using :
ifsrv60 -listen

The formsweb.cgi produces this excerpt from the html file

I think the documentation at technet covers everything you need. The things to not available on the web:
On the web, mouse-triggers aren't executed.
FFI calls to programs on the client can't be used.
For Forms 6i, everything else will pretty much work, with the odd quirk here and there.

Hi All,
I have install the multinode(2 Node) R12.2 on CentOS 6 with no issues, while launching java forms it is showing "frm-92101 there was a failure in the forms server during startup"
I had this same issue before when I install R12.1.1 so I check log file at $LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.3/opmn/forms_default_group_1/formsstd.out.
I resolved the issue by installing openmotif package,However in 12.2 the file directory changes can you please help to resolve this issue.
Please help me to resolve this issue in 12.2?
Thanks & Regards,

Forms Server configuring problem

Hi,
I've installed Oracle Forms Server 6i on Windows platform and installed Apache 2.2.
The virtuals folders are configured correctly in Apache and file permission settings are all done correctly.
All the environment variables appears to be okay in registry.
When I try to test the Forms Server using runform.htm with the provided test.fmx,
the form is not executed but the browser tries to download the file, which seems to be the renamed ifcgi60.exe file, by looking at the size of the file. (51.5kb)
I tried using both socket and HTTP mode with same port number and they behaviours the same.
Am I missing some configuration somewhere?
Does anybody had similar experience like this?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: user11202617 on May 26, 2009 2:49 PM

Well, I think it is very important to mention that Forms/Reports 6i has been desupported for years. So, this probably isn't the best version to be using, both because Oracle will not offer much assistance any longer with that version and because that product version is based on old technology.
That said, here are some things to consider:
1. Apache 2.2 was never certified for use with Forms 6 and further more many issues were reported when attempts were made to use this version. Apache 1.3 is the recommended and previously supported version to be used with Forms 6.x
2. ifcgi60.exe is not a renamed version of your form (i.e. test.fmx). It is the cgi module used to generate the needed html to send to the client and eventually start the jre which starts the form. (it's a little more complicated than that, but that is the basic process). If you are getting a download option when calling the cgi module, is likely means that you have not correctly configured Apache to run it.
To the best of my knowledge, the only way to use your own web server (rather than using Oracle Application Server) was to call Forms apps using a static html file. I do not believe that there was any supported way in which you could use the Forms Servlet or CGI. It probably can be done but I don't think it was supported. To start with Apache must know where executables can be found, in other words the CGI (exe) file. Here is an example of what the directive in Apache would look like:
ScriptAlias /dev60cgi/ "C:\ORACLE\806\tools\web60\cgi/"
In the above example, you would need to ensure that the ifcgi60.exe was located in the directory shown above. In the url used to call the form (assuming you wanted to use cgi) you would include the /dev60cgi/... Of course the exact directory and virtual path name is up to you as long as you know how to correctly set everything else.
Anyway.... I can go on and on. Configuring your own web server to work with Forms is not really recommended. Using Oracle Application Server 1.0.2 was the better way to do this back when it was still supported.
If you plan on continuing down this path, I would recommend that you refer to both the Apache documentation and the Forms 6 documentation, which for now, is still available:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/techlisting.html

Installing Forms Server on Windows 2000

We installed Forms Server 6i on Windows 2000. We completed the installation successfully. When we clicked on the 'Run the Form on the Web.', it gives 'This page cannot be displayed.' error. We tried this twice, but getting same error.
Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
VL.

Do you have your web server installed too?
forms server works in conjunction with your web server.
Make sure you have done the following...
Web server is listening on port 80
Forms server is running in HTTP mode. ( You may need to stop and restart the forms service in win2000 if you change this from socket in the registry )
You must also set up your virtual directorys on your web server. I used the microsoft internet information server that comes with win2000. It's an add on component on the disk. Oracle would suggest you use Oracle 9i application server ( Which is rebadged Apache )
Forms server is running on port 9000. Also set in the registry.
You also edit the in the formsweb.cfg file in <ORACLE_HOME>\forms60\server
Make sure HTTP mode is set in this too. You can also change various params such as the applet size etc. I would recommend the Oracle look and feel and run in separate windows options.
All the forms tester does is run a bit of cgi which will dynamically change the base HTML file in <ORACLE_HOME>\forms60\sever.
You will notice there is one file which is baseie and basejint. The cgi will choose to use the one depending on if you choose to use jinitiator or ie50=native.
When you go live can maually edit these files depending on what java viutual machine you choose. You can place this file in your web site root as defaut.htm or whatever you want and it will serve you app without using the cgi html generator.
Sorry if parts of this you know but it took me weeks of work to set this up. The Oracle documentation is not very well put together.
I have read nearly every line of the damn stuff.
Please e-mail me if you have any queries as I may have not made sense in places.

Connecting to forms server through firewall.

Hi.
Opening form on forms server behind a firewall gives me "FRM:92050 Failed to connect to the server:myhost:9000"
I'm using forms6i release 2, I start f60ctl using mode=http and use ConnectMode=http in the formsweb.cfg file.
If I inspect this inside the firewall I see that port 9000 gets opened. If I open port 9000 in the firewall this works. If I change from mode=http to socket (and keep port 9000 open in the FW) every thing continues to work.
So what is the use of this mode=http? Am I misunderstanding something here?
Please inform me if this works for you, I have spent 2 days reading manuals and trying this.
thanks.

([email protected])

Http mode lets you enable port on firewall for http transport only. Anyway you have to open this port.
How to avoid using additional port:
1. I've read that configuring forms servlet (requires 9iAS with Apache) instead of forms CGI lets using a single port
2. If you configured Web server on one IP and Forms listener on another IP - both on ports 80. I think it should work but haven't tried it yet.
Both solutions are hard for me - first requires to buy and deploy 9iAS and second requires to have another IP and another certificate (if you want https).

Form Server 6i

When i trying to install Form Server 6i on Windows XP the follow error occurred:
user1.pin(20): OS_ERROR while spawning ifsrv60-
install Forms60Server port=9000 mode=Socket batch=yes
Help me please!

Only Forms 6i rel 2 with Patch 13 onwards is certified on Windows XP.
Try a new install of Forms in a separate home.

Dev 6.0 forms server and 8i

One server with NT 4.0 SP5 running Oracle 8i (8.1.5.0.5) and Dev 6.0 (6.0.5.32) installed in seperate oracle homes. I configured tnsnames correctly and created a very simple form that connects to the DB and displayes two fields. Form runs fine in client/server form runtime mode. Setup a client with IE5 microsoft VM (5.0.0.3240) and security configured so I can run the javasoft examples. I started the Forms server as a service running as a domain admin. When I try to run the form using static (not a cartridge) config it connects to my static.htm file and downloads some java stuff and then says applet initialized and displayes the blue logo for Oracle Developer Server and then stops, no form??? So my first question is: this config is supported right? Then what am I doing wrong? I initially installed Dev. 6.0 using the wrong installer (the one on the distribution), but then installed again (ontop of current config, I couldn'e un-install) and patched it to 6.0.5.32 and as I said the forms run in Client/Server mode fine. How do I debug the forms server??? I don't get any error messages.

I got it!
After reading numerous postings I discovered that I needed to unzip the class.zip files and store them in the java directory, but thanks anyway.

Forms server +patch5 works but ias 1022 +patch5 not?!?!?

We're porting an existing application to the web and we're having troubles with this configuration:
Windows 2000 sp1
iAS 1022 + forms patch 5 installed in 806 home.
We're having a lot of problems in connecting the application to a DB version 7.3.4.3:
errors like ora-00022 invalid session id,
frm-40655: SQL error forced rollback.
The strange thing is that with this configuration all works fine:
Windows 2000 sp1
apache + forms server + patch 5 installed
same 7.3.4.3 db.
I've noticed that forms server p5 has a lover net8 version than ias p5 could be this the problem?? if so how can i get it to work with ias??
Please help me, I really need to get this to work.Thank's in advance

Well, version 6 of Designer, Forms, Reports, etc, are not supported for use on Win7 and further, were desupported several years ago. If you really want to use this obsolete version on Win7, rather than hacking a solution, I would recommend using WinXP Mode or other virtualization option.
