Speed Oracle forms (web based) versus client server

2 years ago we've tested forms 9i
Everything went very smoothly:
We had no problems in converting our old forms to 9i.
We've installed a new database on a new server and we've installed a application server on a second server (Both servers had 2 CPU's and 2GB of memory).
In short everything worked perfectly ... except the speed.
Oracle forms (web based) are a lot slower than client-server forms on a LAN, so we kept developing client-server.
We just use forms on our own local network (100Mbit) but
we use a lot of triggers in our forms (perhaps the reason for the poor performance?)
Has anything changed?
Is it now possible to use web based forms, that are at leased as fast as client server forms?

OK, I agree: changing the form (more views, less post-query, more pl/sql on database) will improve performance.
But then I have to recreate every form (> 1000), so then converting c/s to web is not just recompile.
We don't use images in our forms, the database is connected to the application server with a gigabit line. We did tests when even the client was on gigabit, but c/s remains faster. We did the test with just 1 client. and we have never experienced a bottleneck on the network using c/s (even with post-query on millions of records)
So 1 database (2 Xeon CPU's 2GB RAM), 1 App server (2 XEON CPU's, 2GB RAM) and 1 client (XEON workstation, 512MB RAM) using web forms on a gigabit network is slower than the same client using forms (c/s) without an appl. server. => A lot more hardware for less performance?
In short my question: is the latest version of forms faster than the previous version?
Can webforms have the same performance as client server?

  • Launching Swing GUI from Oracle Forms Web Based

    Hi there,
    I have oracle forms which call a shell script which initiates the java swing gui. I am using host command to run this script. When I am doing it on unix server everything works fine. Now we want same application on web now i am getting problem. The host command is not working in this case. It can not launch the java gui. Can anybody tell me what will be the nice approach to do it.
    Thanks
    Ranjan

    Hi,
    you'll have to create a Java Bean in Forms that calls the runtime. You can also use webutil, available on otn to call a client side host command.

  • Open Word Doc from form in web setting not client/server

    Hello, I am new to form. I need to open a word doc (on client PC )from Oracle Form by a button click. I did some research online and looks like Client_Ole2 is the package I need. But when I looked into my Build-in Package (in forms builder), I only see OLE2, TEXT_IO etc. So when I try to declare a variable which is CLIENT_OLE2 like some post suggest, I got error message "identifier CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE must be declared".
    So is that means that I need to install/setup WebUtil on my env to get this Client_Ole2 to show up on Form Builder?
    Thanks for help, please advise.

    I found the way to add webutil.pll to attached Libraries.This is the wrong way. Open the webutil.olb in the Forms Builder. Then open your form you want to add the Object Library too. In the Object Libraries node of the Object Navigator - double-click on the WEBUTIL node. This will open the Object Library properties window. Click on and drag the WEBUTIL entry to the Object Groups node of your Form. You will be prompted "Do you want to copy the object or subclass it?" Click on the Subclass button.
    Subclassing is a Forms method that allows you to share a single source of an object/code between multiple Forms. It is Forms' way of implementing inheritance.
    I also copied them to /forms/java directory too.This is not necessary. I recommend you delete the files you copied to the /forms/java directory. Forms will find the libraries if the .../forms directory is listed in your FORMS_PATH environment variable (see the default.env file). The /DevSuiteHome/forms directory should be the first directory listed in the FORMS_PATH variable.
    Remove path?". So I selected Yes. But when I run form, I got FRM_40039: Cannot attach library webutil while opening form ......".The fact that you are getting this error indicates that the /forms directory is NOT part of the FORMS_PATH.
    If I choose No to keep the hard code path, then if I deploy the form to testing server or production server, it will become problem! Right? How to solve this?Double-check to ensure it is listed. The variable entry should look something like:
    FORMS_PATH=D:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms;<any other directories you want to be part of your path seperated by ";">Hope this helps,

    Hi,
    though this is not security related: You can use JavaBeans within a Bean Container in Oracle Forms. This allows you to add any Java you like to the Forms front end. However, you may have to dig a bit into the Forms client for this.

  • Insert doc/pdf/jpg into BLOB using forms (web based)

    Hi All,
    we have 81741 db on window2000(data server), forms6.0.8.20.1 on windows2000(webserver)
    & users using IE6/netscape as setup. User wants to store a pdf/doc/jpg file (stored on his PC)
    into database.
    He wants ability to view this pdf/doc/jpg later & have ability to download again to his pc. Please note
    that we have web based setup & not using HTTP server (using WebDB listener).
    I am planning to use BLOB to store the table in database, but cannot figure out what/how to force forms
    to do this.
    If someone has done this before, could you please update this thread on how to proceed.
    Thanks a lot for your input...
    Abhi.

    AS far as inserting images you can use the image item in Oracle Forms and base it on a blob column in the database.
    Regarding the other types of data you can upload them to the database using a Java function on the application server (use the java importer from Forms to call the Java class). You can use another Java function to retrieve the info from the database to the application server, and then use web.show_document to get the file from the application server to the client.
    Or you can wait a few weeks for the Webutil utility that will have this functunality built into it.

  • Oracle forms and reports in SQL Server

    My company has developed a application in Oracle forms and reports that works with a Oracle database. In the database also exist a lot of triggers, procedures, functions and packages.
    The application is working perfectly with the Oracle database but I have a request from a very promissing potencial client that has the restriction that could only use a SQL Servr database.
    I know that we have to create a new version of the all database objects, including triggers, function, procedures but my main question is if is possible and if works a forms/reports application connected to a SQL Server database?
    Thank you for your help

    MichaelFerrante,Thank you for your help.
    I have already used the HS services to connecto to external databases from our main Oracle database, and the solution works fine.
    But unfortunally for this particular client he cannont have installed a Oracle database due to internal policies restrictions.
    I can not migrate the full application to another technology like ADF in less than 6 or 8 months.
    Do you thifnk that there is any other solution?

    I'd go for an ODBC on the database server, using HSODBC. It worked quite well on a data warehouse project using OWB. I fail to see why it wouldn't work for Forms.

    Now I'm fully in a confused and frustrated state. Each person is saying different solutions for the problem.

    How can I get a detailed solution for this problem (with screen shots) which include step by step procedure to configure a driver?

    Or atleast some reference site where I can find the same.

  • Make file directory from Oracle form (web)

    Hi,
    I'm using WebUtil to upload files to server thru Oracle form, my problem is if the file directory doesn't exist, how do I have it made at run time?
    Thanks,

    You could use the HOST built in to create the directory with a CMD prompt
    e.g.
    HOST('cmd /C mkdir "'||directory_name||'"', NO_SCREEN);
    Don't forget the "'s incase the directory name has spaces in it.
