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

  • How do I change Oracle Forms access mode?

    Hi,
    I am configuring two separate Oracle servers - one is running Oracle Applications 11i and the other is running Oracle Applications r12. For each server, I need to be able to change the access mode (Native/socket, HTTP, HTTPS) of the Oracle Forms server. Where can I find documentation on how to do this?

  • 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.

    I Start the forms server using :

    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.

  • Form Field Mode in Acrobat X Standard?

    My company is currently using Acrobat 9 Pro to design forms and we’re constantly using the “Add or Edit Form Fields” function. We also resize, and modify the properties of each form field in “Form Field mode”. Are these features found in Acrobat X Standard or do we have to get X Pro?

    Yes, you can create and edit forms with Standard. It won't allow you to add/edit document-level JavaScripts or add the digital signature usage right when Reader-enablinga document, however.

  • Forms & Query-Mode

    Is there any way to query the data in Application Express Forms as we can do it in Oracle Forms Query-Mode (F7 begin query, F8 execute query)?

    Hi,
    Try going to the SQL Workshop. It allows you to query the data in your schema.
    If you don't like navigating to SQL Workshop from the Application Builder, open a second browser for your queries.
    Hope this helps.

  • R12 forms in firefox

    Hi
    I am not able to open R12 forms on my local machine. We have installed 12.0.4 on linux box. When I open form on firefox it says missing plugin. I tried to install oaj2se.exe file but installation failed with message JRE already installed on machine.
    I am using Firefox 3.

    Hi Hussein,
    I checked the thread Re: EBS Client running on Linux before posting my reply. I did not see any reference to FF3 certification in it (or it's subthreads). Can you help me locate the reference ?

  • R12: Form Trace - DB Processing

    Hi All,
    I enabled form trace for my Ebiz user. I set form runtime parameter to "record=forms tracegroup=32,64,98,100,101,135,136,137"
    As per document event number 135 is for "DB Processing (Start & End)" but I dont see any of these event recorded in trace file (in xml file). I see event 136 (DB Logon) and 137 (DB Logoff) but I dont see the processing time.
    I want to know exactly how much time the form spent in database (querying or executing some packages).
    But what I see is DB Logon at the start and DB Logoff at the end. So that is almost the entire duration I used the form. But I want to find out how much time it actually spent in database.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,

  • UTL_TCP (blocking or non-blocking sockets mode)

    Hi for All,
    Please, someone knows if the UTL_TCP using blocking or non-blocking sockets mode? I did a search but can not find this information.
    Regards,

    Blocking only occurs when you attempt to read from the socket and there's no data to read. (in which case, the time out setting applies if specified)
    This is however not that robust in my experience. UTL_TCP provides a peek method (returns byte size of socket buffer) that tells you whether or not there is data for that socket. This enables you to verify that you read on that socket will not be a blocking call.
    I prefer using this method, as dealing with a timeout approach results in run-time behaviour issues (either a call waiting too long, or a call timing out too quickly).
