Running 9i Form in client server env

I have instaled Oracle 9i DS on Win NT.
I have created a form using 9i form.
When i run the form it get a message "FRM-10142 - HTTP listener is not running on xyz machine at port 8888"
This means that my form will run in a web based (thin client) env where as i want to create an application that is suppose to run in a client server env not on web browsers.
Please guide me how can this me done.
I am a new one to oracle DS. your help will be a good start for me

Forms 9i only runs on the web - it does not provide a way or running applications client server

HST6i, Client/Server env. Forms runtime crash!

We successfuly instaled HSD6i on Forms Server. But we also need to run forms on client/server environment.
When I start HSU or generated app. in Forms Runtime (ver 6.0.8.11.3) and do nothing other than navigate from menu to form 'Users' for example, form opens but the very
next time whole runtime environment dissaper (crash with no error message).
How can I manage this problem?

I changed all 'automatic' to <unspecified> but my forms are still crashing with access violation at uiw60.dll. It seems that only forms with item groups though. I also found another posting here by Ivica Coric about "Problem with Item Groups" where people mentioned forms with item groups would crash. It seems that this is my problem. But changing 'automatic' to something else still doesn't solve my problem. Any ideas? Thanks.

Uros,
I have discovered what makes this happen. As you have read in the the install guide, you need to change a number of properties in the object library. Specifically, the color "Automatic", which is very useful in webforms, is problematic on client/server.
Because most items in the generated forms subclass from the object library, you would ideally only need to recreate the fmx files and be rid of the "Automatics".
Unfortunately, there's one place where the generator uses the object library properties, but DOES NOT SUBCLASS BUT COPIES these properties into the generated forms. This happens with boilerplate graphics that result from item group decorations, and then only when the item group decoration has a prompt! Here the color of the CG$TITLE visual attribute is used, but not subclassed. This also explains why you solved it by regenerating the problematic forms.
To solve this for the applications you cannot regenerate, open the fmbs, navigate to the Canvas, and then to the Graphics. You'll find the culprit there soon enough.
Kind regards,

How to run a swing based client server application in web?

hi ,
wat hav 2 do to run a swing based client server application in web?

Swing applications run on the client only. You have two basic options:
1) turn the app into an applet so it can run inside the browser (but still on the client)
2) use webstart to allow the swing application to automatically install on the client from your server.

Message 40010 run local form in the server

hi all
i want to run a form that saved in the client machine by using another machine (server) as application server URL
i specefiy the server url in the developer but i keep getting message
40010 can not read form
since it works fine if i choose the client application server URL
any help would be nice ,
thanx

Q - can the server read the directory where your form is?
The app server will be looking in a specific directory to read the forms. This is specified in the .env file.
If you want to test a form you can always specify the form name in the URL on the app server e.g. http://<server>:<port>/forms90/f90servlet?config=......&form=<formname>
HTHs!

Oracle 9i Forms in Client/Server Mode (Updates in Technical FAQ)

Hi All,
I'm doing an investigation for porting to Oracle Forms 9i and I've found the answers in Oracle 9i Forms Technical FAQ of February 2003. But since it's been more than three and a half years, I would like to know if the following information in the FAQ still holds?
Upgrading to 9i
What versions of Forms can I upgrade to Oracle9i Forms?
Only Forms 6.0 and Forms 6i are supported for direct upgrade to Oracle9i Forms. Older versions of Forms should be upgraded to Forms 6i first.
Can I run Client Server or Character Mode applications in Oracle9i Forms?
No. Oracle9i Forms only supports Web deployment. Applications that need to be run in Client Server or Character Mode should remain in Forms 6i. Forms 6i will be supported until December 31st, 2004, or December 31st, 2007 with Extended Support for customers who wish to maintain such applications.
What changes will I have to make to my application before upgrading?
Many Client Server and Character Mode features have been removed from the Forms product for 9i. The removed features mainly relate to features that where only maintained in Forms 6i for the purpose of backwards compatibility. A detailed list of all of the obsolete features can be found on OTN (/products/forms/pdf/featuresobsolescence.pdf)
Is there an easy way to find out if my modules use obsolete features?
Yes. Oracle supply a separate utility with the Oracle9i Forms distribution "f90plsqlconv". This is a utility which will scan your files for obsolete usages and correct them where applicable. It will also alert you to any changes you may have to make manually.

As far as I know it still holds: Forms9i isn't changed since then.
What I don't see in the FAQs is if you move form client/server to the web that you must be aware that the forms are running on the application server instead of the client PC. So calls to TEXT_IO and HOST etc are also executed on the appserver. You should review those calls and decide were you want to have them executed...(use webutil if you want to keep the execution on the client)

Run oracle10g form on client to test

Hi,
As i am new to oracle10g, i have developed a form on oracle10g on my development pc. Now i want to run that form (saved on development pc) on client machine using internet explorer.
Please help me to do so.

Install the JDK version on the client PC and then run open the IE browser and type
Make sure you have mentioned the path in FORMS_PATH variable ( in default.env file) to the path where your fmx files are kept.

Forms 6i client/server questions

Hi, I have three questions:
1) Is Patch 17 for Forms6i cumulative? (we have patched up to patch 13)
2) After applying patch 17 do we need to recompile all of our forms?
3) We are connecting from 6i client/server forms to a 10.1.4 database, is there a recommended Oracle client? (we are very behind and still running a very old version and I'm trying to get information to move forward)
Thanks.

Patch 17 is designed for the 10g database. There is no hint, that a 9i-db is better than a 10g. Use 10g.
I always recompile all (!) libs, menues and forms after installing a new patch. It's better to do that once, than to search for failures, that result from patching.

Creating a hyperlink in Forms 6i Client Server

I need to create a link to a webpage from a 6i Client Server Form. I would also like not to have to specify a certain browser. Some people using this may have IE and others Netscape.
Any ideas?

I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for but see the hyperLink java bean http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/

OLE Alternatives in Forms 6i Client Server

I'm fishing for some advice and maybe some examples of how to get around an OLE issue that's adversely affecting an upgrade project.
We're currently migrating a Forms 4.5 application to 6i. This application displays MS Word documents (OLE Container) that are stored in the database and uses OLE to open manipulate, and save the documents back to the database. We've come across some serious problems with OLE and 6i that don't look like they'll be fixed any time soon (bug #2615804 in particular).
Since OLE (ActiveX) is not supported a web delivered configuration, we're looking at an alternative to interacting and storing Word documents using a client/server configuration. This will have the added bonus of making the move to web delivery once we decide to go down that path.
Has anyone out there had any good experience with overcoming this OLE problem? It seems like every pre-Forms 9i book out there has touted OLE as a way of interacting with Office tools and now OLE has become a roadblock.
I've had a look at the JACOB example, but that doesn't really help if you're not deploying via the web.

With the beans you've looking at visual stuff : like the look and feel project
With the importer it's more like leveraging java functionality : in my case I've just implemented a call to a webservice on an application server. There is nothing visual here and it's just called via a straight bit of PL/SQL that call my java classes ( however, in that case I could also use UTL_HTTP directly to make the call and thus not bother with java importer - but the database wouldn't allow UTL_HTTP calls :( )
For both of these you'd need to tell forms where to find the JAR file in it's java environment - but you won't have that in c/s
Another way is to load up java code into the database and process it within the database and hide it completely from Forms. I've done this sort of thing loading Apache-FOP into Oracle and creating PDF files in the database (as BLOBS) from XML/XSL also in the database as XMLTYPES.
At least that's my view on how it fits together ... maybe others know more :)

Developer 9i Form in Client/Server

The last client/server version is Forms6i.

Oracle Forms 6i client/server against an Oracle 10gR2 database

Hello
We have the following situation:
Oracle Forms6i/Reports6i client server application against an Oracle 8i cost-based database. we want to migrate this application
step 1:
Migrate the database to 10gr2, but do not touch the client application
Go live
step 2:
Migrate the development environment to 6i webforms.
Production environment stays client server.
With this construction we can still create new patches/functionality.
step 3:
Migrate to Forms10gR2 (and reports)
I know Forms 6i is not supported anymore.
My question is on step 1.
When I read NOTE: 338513.1 entitled "Is Forms/Reports 6i Certified To Work Against Oracle Server 10g Rel 1, Rel 2 or 11g?" carefully
it says that Forms 6i is not certified against 10gR2.
On OTN I read several posts that this works ok (assuming you do not use the wrong character set).
I also read on OTN that patch 18 (which is only supported for EBS customers) is certified against 10gR2.
The questions:
- Is Oracle Forms patch 18 certified against an Oracle 10gR2 database? (or only for EBS)
- Is there anybody out there that can confirm that Oracle Forms 6i C/S works against Oracle 10gR2
Regards Erik

Thank you.
Now I found it.
But how do I read that page.
It says:
Client Certifications
OS      Product      Server Status
XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      N/A      Desupported
Application Tier Certifications
OS      Product      Server      Status
XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      9.2      Desupported
XP      6.0.8.27.0 Patch 18      10g      Desupported
I read this as follows:
Patch 18 was certified agains a 10g database in a webforms environment.
No client server mentioned and Server 10g , so no 10gR2!
I'm I right?
Regards Erik

Calling Web Form from Client-Server Form

Hi. I have an existing Client-Server Form (6i) still in production that needs to call a Web Form and pass it a parameter. Obviously I can't use Call Form or New Form from the client-server version, but can I somehow issue a command line (including a parameter) that opens the Web Form? Any suggestions for accomplishing this?
I can create a command line like this, but have no idea how to pass a parameter to my Web Form. The Web Form named participants which has a Parameter defined named 'p_participant'.
*"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://9.35.32.206:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=participants*
I can also create a command line to open a web form like this to:
*"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://9.35.32.205:7777/forms/html/sas2.htm*
Where the sas2.htm looks like this:
*<html>*
*<body onload="document.menulaunch.submit();">*
Launching File Generation...
If the application does not load in 30 seconds then click the button below:
*<form name=menulaunch action=http://9.35.32.205:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=FileGeneration method=post>*
*<script>*
var wshshell=new ActiveXObject("wscript.shell");
var username=wshshell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%orauser%");
var pw=wshshell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%orapass%");
document.write("<input type=hidden name=userid value="+username+"/"+pw+"@sparc20*>")*
*</script>*
*<input type=submit value=Launch>*
*</form>*
*</body>*
*</html>*
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Simply add to your URL as follows:
http://9.35.32.206:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=participants&otherparams=p_participant=<SOME VALUE>I assume you plan to use HOST to make this call. I would recommend something like this:
HOST ('cmd /c start iexplore.exe "http://9.35.32.206:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=participants&otherparams=p_participant=<SOME VALUE>"');

Minimum hardware spec to run a forms 10g client

Hi
Has anyone please got any info this.
I'm trying to define what the minimum specification pc in terms of cpu and memory (say running Windows XP) that will run a Forms 10g Form through IE.
A client has many PC's of differinf ages and specifications, it's a matter of defining which one are too old and can't run the application.
TIA
Tony

Tony,
Check out the Hardware Requirements and the Certified Software section of the Oracle Developer Suite Installation Guide 10g Release 2. As long as the prospective PC the application will run on meets this minimum requirement to install the Developer Suite, it should run OK.
Hope this helps.

My Prompt back ground colour changes during run time in Client / Server Env

<p>Dear Friends, </p>
<p> My Prompt of text items are changing its back ground colour according to the Text item's back colour during runtime. This doesn't look good. My look and feel of my application gets spoiled due to this. I tried with Visual Attribute (both prompt & Text item) but of no use. I don't want to use text label as I want to change the prompt during run time. Please help me. </p>

Dear Kevin,
Yes I agree with you, but in my case as this application supports bilingual (English & Arabic), I want to change the prompt of the text at run time. Can I change the text of boilerplate text at runtime?
Thank you for your reply.

Forms 6i Client Server works in Win7 64 bits but Runtime (Ctrl-R) not

My installation of Oracle Forms 6i Designer works fine, but within the Designer the Runtime option (Ctrl-R) simply nothing happens.
In Task Manager there is a process "ifdbg60.exe" but not the corresponding screen opens.
If I run the Runform directly (outside of the Designer) this problem does not occur.
Does anyone have any suggestions to help me solve this problem?
Best regard
Zilmar Furquiim

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.
