Second Forms Services OC4J Instance

What is a benefit of creating a Second Forms Services OC4J Instance In Oracle Application Server 10g?
In which cases it is a better to create a second oas OC4J instance than to create a new configuration section
in the same instance for new forms application ? Or such configuration with Second Forms Services OC4J Instance is supported by Oracle ?
Thank's

What's the alternative you're looking for?
If it is HTTPS to secure the communication - yes that's possible
If it's a plain socket connection in stead of HTTP - I think Oracle dropped that after version 6i, but I'm not 100% sure.
If it is traditional client-server - Oracle dropped that after version 6i.
So, please explain what is you want.

Forms with OC4J instance runs in http mode, Y?

I don't want my forms to run in http mode - http://fulham:8889/forms/frmservlet.
Can someone help in making me run it in forms itself
I have Enterprise server 9i and forms 10g running on my local machine. At the initial stages, it says about about not being started. Ok, I had to simulate forms in run time by starting an OC4J instance but it now runs in http mode.
Is there a way around this? Has anyone come across this?
many thanks in advance

2 Forms Services on Oracle 10g AS Release 2

Hi Friends,
I am using Oracle 10g AS (10.1.2.0.2).I have 2 applications to be hosted
I mapped application 1 for the Default report server(inproces report server)
I created one more report server and mapped fror the applicatin 2.
I am able to control both the reports independently
No issues on report server
Same way i would like to have 2 forms services (without using seperate tags in formsweb.cfg) because
I need 2 different icons path for 2 applications
I should be able to bounce the forms services independently application wise (like reports)
Is it possible ? Please recommend the Method/Document.
Regards

There are metalink notes and papers where you can set it up if you want it, I believe this comes with limited support from Oracle though. I personally prefer to have separate config sections, having a second OC4J instance is more administration and resources usage.

Java from cmd and Java called from Forms Services

I apologize in advance if this is not place where i did must question.
Anyway this is:
From cmd on win xp If I run java -version I get:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>java -version
java version "1.4.2_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_06-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_06-b03, mixed mode)
While i installed JVM 1.6 and this is called from my forms services(OC4J)
What I missing?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my question

*%JAVA_HOME\bin%* isn't the correct way to add the reference to the JAVA_HOME variable. You want *%JAVA_HOME%\bin*, notice the closing % sign comes after the name of the variable you created earlier (*JAVA_HOME*) and that causes its value to be prepended to \bin.

Forms in Oracle9i DS OC4J Instance

How i can Start OC4J Instance as window service ?

That's because I don't know the answer to your question. And rather than ignoring it, I chose to offer what little help I could and tell you that you were asking in the wrong place! Otherwise your email would've languished here and you'd wonder why noone was helping. :)

Not able to run the forms -OC4J Instance Error

Hi all,
We are facing a problem, like in our developement server we have installed Forms 10g, and configured the formsweb.cfg(we had set the working folder as D:\Source) and default.env and registry also.
While calling the form from the other machines/run the form from the forms builder itself, we are getting error like "RFB 003.008". The same error is coming while running the test form using the "Start->Programs->Oracle Developer Suit - >DevSuiteHome1->Forms Developer->Run a Form on the web" method also,
When we started the OC4J Instance, we got the following message:
"C:\Documents and Settings\anantgop.MTODOM01\Desktop>D:\ora\u01\oracle\v101\devsuite10g\jdk\bin\java -Doracle.security.jazn.config=D:\ora\u01\oracle\v101\devsuite10g\j2ee\DevSuite\config\jazn.xml -Doracle.home=D:\ora\u01\oracle\v101\devsuite10g -DORACLE_HOME=D:\ora\u01\oracle\v101\devsuite10g -jar D:\ora\u01\oracle\v101\devsuite10g\j2ee\home\oc4j.jar -userThreads -config D:\ora\u01\oracle\v101\devsuite10g\j2ee\DevSuite\config\server.xml

Could you please help us how to combine this forms +J2ee application in single ear file,
And this ear file has to be deployed in one OC4J instance.

Address already in use for oc4j-instance: unable to run a form

Hi,
I've an error starting the oc4j-instance of forms.
it says: address already in use JVM-bind.
i changed the port number to 8888 (it was 8889) in the devsuit/config/default-web-site.xml.
running for the first time a form JInitiator was installed, applictaion server installation succesfull, but i see only a grey screen (in stead of my form).
i changed the prot number to 8889 again.
how to solve?
by the way, how to combine all oc4j instances into one?
(I have one for forms, one for reports, one for mapviewer and one for BIPublisher)
Leo

Thank you so much for your help.
It works when I remove the http://%%20" from address in Internet Explorer. But it doesn't work in preference->runtime. No matter what address I typed, FormBuilder added http://%%20" in front of the address automatically. I don't know what else I need to change to avoid this problem.
Thank you.

Second mail service configuration or others transport protocols to send form content

Hi
we actually use the mail service for several forms. We have now a new requirement, where we need to use a different target for one specific reporting form.
Questions are:
Is it possible to configure a second mail service (other mailhost)?
Is it possible to integrate others transport protocols to send the content (SOAP/REST Webservice calls, JMS Queue Producer, externe HTTP/POST calls)?
Do you have another suggestion?
Thank you
Best regards
Stéphane

Hi Stéphane,
* AFAIK not possible with OOB to configure 2 mail servers & need to implement at project level. You might need to create a custom email service. Example http://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-cq/using/creating-custom-cq-email-services.html
* One of the option to make external calls is to utilize WorkflowExternalProcess http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/javadoc/com/day/cq/workflow/exec/WorkflowExternalPro cess.html

How to Keep the "Start OC4J instance" window or Forms Server always up 24*7

Gurus -
Can you please tell me how could I have the "Start OC4J instance" always up and running in my server. I want the Forms server ( 10g) up and running all the the time. please advice how could I do that. My DB is 11g and using the Oracle Devsuite 10g. Please advice
Gurus - Can you please advice on this. Basically have developed a form and couple of users want to access that but get error " page cannot be displayed" and I figured out the "Start OC4J instance" windows gets closed automatically after some hours.
so I wanted this OC4J instance to run 24*7 ( always) without closing by itself. Please advice how could I do that.
Thanks
Sheik

Thanks a lot Steve,
Just wanted to find out if there is no other work around on this except to have the Oracle App Forms server to install and up and running?
I have 11g DB , so do I have to have 11g Oracle Apps Server or 10g Oracle apps server will be sufficient as the installed Devsuite is in 10g. Please advice
OR
Is there way we can setup this Oracle Apps forms server from the OEM console? or we have to do a seperate install for this Apps server.
Other option I thought, which I am not sure will work out is the creat a scheduled task in windows and have this "Start OC4j Instance" scheduled to run always. Any ideas/commments on this.
Thanks again for your inputs.

How to enable Forms to locate icons deployed using OC4J Instance?

I am using Forms 9i Builder.
I would like to create a pictured Push Button.
I create a Push Button with Property Palette as follows:
Iconic: Yes
Icon Filename: bell.jpg
I can neither see the icons on the button in the Layout Editor, nor during run-time when it is deployed on OC4J Instance.
How can I set the icons path in Forms Builder and deplyed on OC4J?

Hi,
the icon name should be without the .jpg extensions. The Forms Developer environment doesn't show jpg icons in any release before 10g (9.0.4). See the documentation og 10g on how to point it to the files.
For deployment, the default configuration for icons is .gif. You change it in the file registry.dat located in the forms90/java/registry directory
For deploying icons in Forms, see the whitepaper "Oracle9i Forms: How to Deploy Icons" located at otn.oracle.com/products/forms --> Forms 9i Collateral. This paper is still valid for Forms 10g.

Multiple Forms services in Oracle 10g AS(10.1.2.0.2)

H Friends,
I am using Oracle 10g AS(10.1.2.0.2) for a project A.
Now i would like to use the same application Server for another Project B.
Is it possible to have 2 forms services in the same Oracle 10g AS (like creating our own reports server in the same Instance).
I know we can create our own OC4J Instances but need to know whethere that will create a new forms service which i can use it for Project B without disturbin the default forms service(used in Project A)
Regards,
Arun

Hi sahil,
Thanks for the info.This is really useful(Metalink Doc) and i am able to configure 2 forms servers successfully
but i still have one issue.The issue is
I am unable to have 2 icons path (for the 2 applications)the icons path is taking from the dafault path of /forms/icons(in forms.conf file) for both the application even though i make entry for second application as /formstest/icons in forms.conf file(formstest is my new forms server for second application).
Is there any way to solve this issue?Please suggest.
Regards,
Arun

Load balancing HTTP requests for an OC4J instance w/multiple JVMs

Hello everyone,
I am using OAS 10.1.3.1 and wish to load balance HTTP requests across an OC4J group of one or more OC4J instances, where each like named OC4J instance may have multiple JVMs or it may just have one JVM.
My mod_oc4j.conf file would contain the following directives :
Oc4jSelectMethod roundrobin:local
Oc4jRoutingMode Static
Oc4JMount /xyz/* xyz
In the degenerate case, I would like to have an OC4J group with a cluster size of one, and have that one OC4J instance have two or more JVMs. I would like to be able to receive a request within my web application, determine that the JVM that has been sent the request is the wrong JVM to process the request, and then call HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect("/xyz"). Then, when the browser receives the HTTP 302 response and issues the subsequent HTTP request, have that request sent to a different JVM than the previous JVM that issued the sendRedirect().
What I have seen is that the subsequent request is sent back to the same JVM that issued the sendRedirect(). I also call invalidate() against the HttpSession prior to calling sendRedirect(), but that does not seem to affect the behavior that I see.
In the full blown case, I would have an OC4J group with a cluster size > 1, and each of those OC4J instances would have at least one JVM. In that case, I wish the sendRedirect() call to allow the subsequent request to be sent to any one of the OC4J instances in the group, and any one of those JVMs within all of those OC4J instances.
Can anyone verify that my mod_oc4j mount directive is appropriate given the select method and routing mode? What else might I need to do to have a chance to have a different JVM respond to the request that results from a sendRedirect()?
Thank you,
Doug

I should clarify that in the full blown environment, the OC4J instances that form a group will each be housed within a separate OAS instance that resides on its own machine.
So ideally, a request could be inbound to say OAS instance 1 on machine A, OC4J instance AA, JVM 2, and I need to force a redirect so that the request can actually be serviced by OAS instance 3 on machine C, OC4J instance AA, JVM 1, and I need to be able to call sendRedirect() against an HttpServletResponse from within a JVM until the subsequent request from the browser, Internet Explorer in my case, is serviced by that JVM.
Thanks,
Doug
