Tier 2 network

Hi repoted a fault with my broadband on 3/7/11 was told I would call back 24hrs later no call back so called them they said it can take upto 48hrs. So i spoke to someone today who said the reason why I have not been contacted is an appointment needed to be made with me so tier 2 network could call me. He told me they book appointments in 2hr time slots ie 0800 - 1000 so I took that slot he also says that customers cannot contact this department has they con only contact customers
Is this normal procdure?

Thanks Mary,
It appears as if the configurations that are outlined on that page either
(1) assume that the subscriber / client has
EXPLICITLY configured a proxy server in their browser that points to their Tier-2/edge CE farm or
(2) the access infrastructure into the CDN (essentially edge routers) are configured with WCCP
Let me know if this is not the case, as I may be mis-reading & mis-configuring.
In my setup, the Tier-2/edge CE's are configured to
(3) listen for inbound requests on (80, 8080) and
(4) point to an upstream proxy A.B.C.D:8080
ISSUE
(5) In normal operating conditions (i.e. content IS pre-positioned), client requests are fully serviced from CDNFS on the Tier-2/edge CE's
(6) When content is not available on CDNFS (none-prepositioned), a cache miss occurs on the Tier-2/edge CE's.
(7) What is the best way to configure my Tier-2/edge CE's so that they ALWAYS query upstream proxy for content in the event of a CACHE-MISS on local CDNFS?
(8) How do I enable this ((7) above) without having to use rules on the Tier-2/edge CE's?
Thanks again,
regards,

Two-Tier Firewall Config

We want to setup a Data Center Network for core banking with all the application and Database servers.For the same we are planning to design a Two-Tier firewall network architecture. First Tier firewall (Cisco PIX in failover mode) will have Web servers in DMZ as front end application server. Second Tier firewall (PIX firewall Failover mode) will have the Application and database servers in DMZ as back end servers.
Flow of data will be such that any user logging from internet will access web servers at the first level, get authenticated and web servers will in turn talk to the internal application servers for any data request.
Is the above design OK.
Pls find attached topology diagram.
Also provide me with the sample PIX config for the above Two-Tier firewall architecture implementaion of application and database servers.
Hi,
IP Scheme is as listed below.
Lan IP = 192.168.1.0/24 - 192.168.24.0/24
Internet Firewall DMZ Network (Tier-1) = 192.168.252.0/28
Internet Firewall Internal Network (Tier-1) = 192.168.252.16/28
Intranet Firewall External Network (Tier-2) = 192.168.252.16/28
Intranet Firewall DMZ Network (Tier-2) = 192.168.252.32.0/28
PiX Firewall Internal Network (Tier-2) = 192.168.252.48.0/28

Hi Collin,
This server is lync edge server. My idea is one network card for to NAT with public IP adddress ( 172.16.2.x NAT with Public IP ). One is for the Internal Firewall To NAT with internal network. (20.20.0.x NAT with internal IP 10.10.0.x).
Your suggestion is want to use one NIC with one IP address for DMZ server going to both firewall, is it ?
Please advise me, thanks.
Thanks,

Time capsule, external hard drive, iTunes media library

Hi,
i want to setup my time capsule, at the same time I want to export my iTunes library to an external harddrive. following questions:
- I setup my time capsule currently only as wifi, not yet as a backup medium
- how do I set this whole thing up and in what sequence?
- I want to use movies purchased on iTunes from the library and not from the store, possible? Not via Apple TV I assume but via iTunes?
- I want to access movies located on the external hard drive from anywhere in my home network, possible?
I need to do this as I moved from usa to Europe and have To change my apple store. Before I change the store I need to download all movies to an external harddrive otherwise I cannot use them anymore due to license issues. Apple cannot help me here unfortunately.
the change is also necessary as staying in the US store causes more and more complications.
ideas are welcome!
thanks!

You can relocate your iTunes to an external hard disk .. plugged into the computer that is fine.. using it on a hard drive plugged into the TC is not so OK.. it can work but it will be slow.
- I want to use movies purchased on iTunes from the library and not from the store, possible? Not via Apple TV I assume but via iTunes?
Yes, you can use the iTunes library to store and play the movie. it has to run from iTunes on the computer. I am not sure I understand the last bit about apple TV.. it is simply a streamer.. (unless you have Gen1 which can store movies on the hard disk). The Apple TV connects to your iTunes running on a computer. The TC has nothing to do with this, other than being part of the network.
Note the TC has no media extensions nor is it media aware.. it is a dumb wireless router.. that is all.
- I want to access movies located on the external hard drive from anywhere in my home network, possible?
Access movies is fine.. read Apple prescribed method.
iTunes: How to share music and video
There is a lot of links to home sharing.
Again the TC is irrelevant to this, other than it ties the network.. but a switch or any other router could be doing that.. so the TC is of no particular use here.
For backups just setup TM in the computer to backup to the TC.. that is standard part of the setup.. and there is nothing particular in the TC required for that.. other than it plugs into the main router.. so exists as part of the network.

PHP Oracle connection randomly slow

Hello,
I have a very strange problem concerning the connection to a oracle database with php. Sometimes the same SQL-Statement takes a very long time to load for no obvious reason (more than 5 minutes). But if you try it later it pops up at once. During the waiting time Toad is just showing "SQL*Net message from client" for the session.
Here the code:
$db = "<connection string>";
$c = oci_connect("user", "pwd", $db);
$s = ociparse($c, "select content from database WHERE CATEGORY = '$category'");
if(ociexecute($s)) {
while (ocifetch($s))
echo ociresult($s, "CONTENT");
Maybe I should also mention that I'm using a page with frames with a navigation bar on the left which loads the code in the frame on the right with the variable $category. We are using Oracle9i Release 9.0.1 .
I would really appreciate any help.

Perceived slowness is something that is dealt with by using process called "tuning". Tuning process requires an extensive knowledge because it should go from end to end, starting with the application. There may be an issue with your application, database, operating system, middle tier or network and one has to know all of the above to be able to tune the application properly. It's always the application one tunes, because it's the application that makes the end users unhappy. In your posts, there is not enough information to even begin thinking about tuning, so I will outline the tuning process for you. One always begins the tuning process by blaming the network and by letting the network engineers use sniffer and dig out the slow component. Typical response from the network people is "network is OK but the server XXX is slow with responses
and that's what causing the timeouts"). Now you know where the problem is so you can concentrate on a single server and figure out what the problem is. Whatever the problem is, it is usually solved by improving the cache hit ratio by increasing the SGA. Network engineers are
used to that and they do not mind, but if you want to be mr. nice guy, you can go directly to your boss and ask him for more memory. That is so called modified method C, by Cary Millsap. That is why it's called "method C".

Change hostname/domain in ebs 12.0.6

Hi All,
I have single node installation of EBS R12 (12.0.6) and database version is 10.2,
I want to change hostname and domain name of application and database.
I have found this document (ID 341322.1). i think this document is for EBS 11i ,
may i follow this document on EBS R12 ?
Thank & Regards
Ravi Kumar

Hi Ravi,
Please have a look at the following notes, applicable to r12:
How to change the hostname and/or port of the Database Tier using AutoConfigNote (338003.1 )
How to change the hostname of an Applications Tier using AutoConfig (341322.1 )
You may follow link:
CHANGE HOSTNAME OR IP-Address OR DOMAIN NAME ON APPS-TIER OR DB-TIER in R12
http://applicationsdba.blogspot.com/2011/04/r12-iphost-name-change.html
Additionally, 2nd step would be..
- Run preclone script on DB and Apps Tier
- Change network necessary changes
- Run the post clone script.
Hope this helps!
Best Regards

A10 Network and Siebel HTTP Health Check @ Application Tier

Hello,
I have a simple question around using the A10 network appliance and performing a simple HTTP Get Health, from the third party load balance, check against the ScBroker component. For example, within the A10 we would create a check check using the following: This is for third party load balancing at the application tier. I have performed this type of health check on other competitor devices such as F5, Cisco etc.
//IP Address of Siebel Application Server/Siebel Enterprise Name/ScBroker.
When I test the below HTTP Get health check both inside and outside the load balancer (using any web browser) I receive about 15-20 errors before receiving a ScBroker Status "Ok" message. This is a older version of Siebel (8.0.0.12) and I have double checked the Connection Forward algorithm for SCBroker which is set to "LL" least laden. The only other option would be to perform a health check at the TCP (SCBroker port 2321) layer which can cause multiple LB errors and leave connections missed at the port 2321 SCBroker layer. Essentially, A HTTP Get Health check at the application layer is the way to go. Has anyone experienced this error on the HTTP Get Health check? If so, what was the resolution for the health check.

Hi zryan,
Your question is not clear enough.
If you want to use create client for transporting HTTP or SMTP messages, you can utilize these built-in classes in .Net Framework:
WebClient,
HttpWebRequest Class
SmtpClient Class
If you mean you want to intercept the network messages using C# code, please note the topic in this thread:
Contributors: How to avoid aiding
the development of malicious code
.Net Framework doesn't contain built-in objects for you to automatically detect the protocol of the network message.

Can Samsung ATIV 32 bit OS, 1.80GHz, Windows 8 be networked for Remote access using Tier Medical software

I was able to successfully download and connect to my employer's Tier Software. I tried to run the TIER training module and received an error message with a code number and problem with Tier.exe. When I contacted our system
administrator as directed by this error message I was told that my screen was not big enough because it was a tablet and the screen is 10.1 inches. New Hires are required to have a computer or a laptop that runs The Tier Medical software purchased at
our expense. There is no Full -time computer administrator. I would like to encourage the employer to consider a consultation with a Tier consultant or computer consultant and what the approximate cost would be. This could resolve my problem
and at least 2 other health service professionals the expense of buying a new computer. Please advise me about some alternative solutions if there are any.

Multi-tier networking

I'm learning Java Networking this semester, and I have a question. Suppose that I wanted to create a central server with a certain number of clients talking to it, and each of those clients functioned as a server to its own subgroup of machines. Is that easy to implement?

Cannot receive calls when using Edge network for data?

Hi,
This afternoon someone was trying to reach me urgently and all her calls to my iPhone went straight into my voicemail. My phone never rang and never showed missed calls.
I spoke to Aaron at Apple, thinking there might be a problem with my phone, and he told me that when the Edge network is in use, then the phone will not ring and calls will be routed straight to voicemail.
Is this really expected behavior? I was not aware of it.
iPhone 8GB

This has nothing to do with EDGE all other phones will notify you and pause the connection. i posted about this 2 days ago but the thread got deleted.
here is a video that proves this, the noise is from the GSM but the user is clearly on the edge network.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=NMm2AY-_TTY
this is from Tier 2 suport at Apple.
Everyone having this issue should call 1-800-MY iPhon. Ask to speak to Tier II support, the person you get may try to help, and may need to give you a case number. You'll probably have to wait a while on hold.
I just spent an hour on the phone with Tier I & II. The tier I guy started by saying that when you use EDGE it will always go to voicemail. I told him, I was on a user forum & some people said they don't have the issue. He then tested it on his phone & experienced the direct to v-mail issue. We talked about how this was a real problem & how both of our nokia phones didn't have this issue (he actually had the E-61 also). He gave me a case number & transferred my to tier II. The tier II guy told me that this was a software issue. That a pop-up needs to be designed into the software to allow the user the option to disconnect the data connection & accept the voice call, or not. I told him that I'd read on a user forum that some users get voice calls while using EDGE. He said that if they are using you tube the call will automatically interrupt & switch out of you tube. We then tested this on my iPhone & it worked (i.e. the call interupted you tube). He said the software currently decides to disconnect data or send calls to voice mail during EDGE transmissions based on what the user is doing. Phone calls take priority over you tube & widgets (stock & weather)but safari and e-mail take priority over phone calls. He said the thought was, it would be more annoying to users to be in the middle of sending an e-mail and having mail disconnected for a phone call, than having the call go to voicemail. The ideal solution is to have a choice (like other phones allow) but right now the iPhone software does not have a pop-up designed allowing the user to accept the call or keep the data connection. (He seemed to be familiar with this on other phones while being tethered to a macbook to use their data connections & getting voice calls during downloads).
He said he was submitting this to the engineering group & said the more people that call tier II about this & submit it as an issue via online feedback, the higher priority it will get to be addressed in the first software update. So if you want to see this fixed start calling and submitting the issue http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html in as much detail as possible (specifically say that other existing phones Nokia S60s etc. have this function).
and here is a thread that is discussing this serious problem. note it is now many pages long.

Performance issues with LOV bindings in 3-tier BC4J architecture

We are running BC4J and JClient (Jdeveloper 9.0.3.4/9iAS 9.0.2) in a 3-tier architecture, and have problems with the performance.
One of our problems are comboboxes with LOV bindings. The view objects that provides data for the LOV bindings contains simple queries from tables with only 4-10 rows, and there are no view links or entity objects to these views.
To create the LOV binding and to set the model for the combobox takes about 1 second for each combobox.
We have tried most of tips in http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/tips/muench/jclientperf/index.html, but they do not seem to help on our problem.
The performance is OK (if not great) when the same code is running as 2-tier.
Does anyone have any good suggestions?

I can recommend that you look at the following two bugs in Metalink: Bug 2640945 and Bug 3621502
They are related to the disabling of the TCP socket-level acknowledgement which slows down remote communications for EJB components using ORMI (the protocol used by Oracle OC4J) to communicate between remote EJB client and server.
A BC4J Application Module deployed as an EJB suffers this same network latency penalty due to the TCP acknowledgement.
A customer sent me information (that you'll see there as a part of Bug# 3621502) like this on a related issue:
We found our application runs very slow in 3-Tier mode (JClient, BC4J deployed
as EJB Session Bean on 9iAS server 9.0.2 enterprise edition). We spent a lot
of time to tune up our codes but that helped very little. Eventually, we found
the problem seemed to happen on TCP level. There is a 200ms delay in TCP
level. After we read some documents about Nagle Algorithm, we disabled a
registry key (TcpDelAckTicks) in windows2000 on both client and server. This
makes our program a lot faster.
Anyway, we think we should provide our clients a better solution other than
changing windows registry for them, for example, there may be a way to disable
that Nagle's algorithm through java.net.Socket.setTcpNoDelay(true), in BC4J,
or anywhere in our codes. We have not figured out yet.
Bug 2640945 was fixed in Oracle Application Server 10g (v9.0.4) and it now disables this TCP Acknowledgement on the server side in that release. In the BugDB, I see backport patches available for earlier 9.0.3 and 9.0.2 releases of IAS as well.
Bug 3621502 is requesting that that same disabling also be performed on the client side by the ORMI code. I have received a test patch from development to try out, but haven't had the chance yet.
The customer's workaround in the interim was to disable this TCP Acknowledgement at the OS level by modifying a Windows registry setting as noted above.
See Also http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=328890
"New registry entry for controlling the TCP Acknowledgment (ACK) behavior in Windows XP and in Windows Server 2003" which documents that the registry entry to change disable this acknowledgement has a different name in Windows XP and Windows 2003.
Hope this info helps. It would be useful to hear back from you on whether this helps your performance issue.

Why does Verizon hide the fact on their network an iPhone cannot deliver simultaneous voice and data

For me the breaking point was when the local Corporate Store clerk lied to be about their return policy. He even documented the information he gave me and that didn't matter to management or corporate. I made a decision to switch to the iPhone and was specifically told I had 30 days to evaluate weather I could make the transition from android to iOS. If I couldn’t for any reason, I could just return the phone and pay the $35 restocking fee and we were then free to choose from one of the many androids.
After weeks of challenges and countless hours spent with first tier then second tier then a product specialist we all came to the documented conclusion that the iPhone, on Verizons network could not support data and voice at the same time... Every other smart phone on Verizons network could and always has... the IPhone on ATT's network can support both voice and data at once... but Not On Verizons network...
Each tech I spoke with seemed shocked and in utter disbelief that this could be so. They blamed ATT for harboring special privileges hold over from their exclusive relationship with Apple. Which is not true. Then they blamed Apple for delivering handicapped phones to Verizon on purpose. Well, with an Apple Product Manager on the phone listening in on a Verizon Tech giving me this among other excuses why I could not be on the phone and using google at the same time, the Apple Rep finally jumped in and very politely cleared up any miss information the Verizon tier 2 support rep was fumbling out.
So after I had done everything in my power to make the phone work the way I had understood it would. And had every reason to believe it would. As did every Verizon rep I spoke with at first until they did a little research and found Verizon had deliberately been hiding this fact from customers. So I conceded to go back to the Android world for now and let Verizon sort out this glaring deficit hopefully in the near future… Though every support rep concluded that there was no mention of this being fixed or even a problem so not to hold my breath…
I couldn’t have been more shocked or infuriated when I went to exchange the “still in the plastic mint condition iPhone” I was told I had to have brought it back in the first 14 days… I pleaded and argued, even directed the manager to the notes entered in verizon’s own support documentation regarding my case and he said “well I see here where you were told that but that rep was wrong”. That may be so but I based my entire testing and evaluation timeline based on the dates the rep clearly and admittedly told me! The store manager said there was nothing he could do.
Now I mentioned I’m a Network Solutions Provider and being able to be on the phone doing a support call and using my cellular internet at the same time are an absolute must for me to be able to preform my job. Every Verizon smart phone I have ever owned had been able to do this. Now I am told I am STUCK in a two year contract with an inadequate device that I cannot exchange and therefore functionally useless to me.
Verizon corporate nor the store manager cared one bit about my position. They stood behind a little register tape that by signing my credit card receipt I now owed them two more years of my life and now they could care less weather I had a functioning solution or that I had been a loyal customer for over 17 years. Or that I had brought entire small business offices to them for cell services. Just stood there and held a copy of my receipt and said, well you signed it so here is what it will cost ya to get out of it!
He got out a calculator and started running numbers for what I would have to pay to fix this situation… What I would have to pay to even leave Verizon and go get cell service from someone else. It felt dirty … seedy… like being at some 3rd world used car lot where some shyster had gotten someone wrapped up in a contract and now was going to squeeze the life out of a customer even though they couldn’t’ even deliver the service they implied you were going to get in the first place.
In 30 years of being a small business owner I have never encountered an organization that had less integrity or more unscrupulous business practices…
I see post after post of Verizon Customer Support reps answering threads… funny I haven’t found one where a user honestly thanks the rep for actually helping them out……. Please Verizon Customer Support, show me you actually can look at a situation and see an equitable solution where a Customer and the Share Holders can both win…..

Well if this information was as ubiquitous on the web as you suggest, I am puzzled why it took three weeks of troubleshooting with many levels of Verizon support before we collectively concluded this was the situation...
Regarding Reading what I sign... Thanks for that advice though in this situation I was handed a stylus and told to sign a Signature Pad at the check out counter... ONLY AFTER I signed (for the purchase only) was I presented with this return policy conveniently nested in a 3 foot long reciept consisting of paragraphs of Helvitica 6 type set info... I made the assumption that the sales person could correctly answer a direct question regarding the policy I inadvertently signed for when authorizing the credit card charge... Even more concerning is that when by my actions and constant communications with Verizon, my intent was clearly based on the information I had gotten from the sales rep. and if I was given misinformation it would seem Verizon could show some integrity and support the situation with some equitable solution rather than hiding behind contracts collected from sales staff who do not tell customers the truth.....

Fast User Switching with Mounted Network Drive?

I have a headless G4 Cube running 10.5.8 with a 2TB firewire drive plugged in for storage accessable to any of my macs here at home. I can access it fine with my 2 desktops over ethernet and wirelessly. Recently we decided to consolidate our 2 desktops into one using the muliple users feature. Seems to work fine, and both accounts can access the shared drive. They are logging in with the cube's admin credentials, and the shared drive is set to ignore permissions. I have the drive set to mount on login with a startup item in the system login items prefs. As long as I logout before switching users, everything is good.
The problem arises with Fast User Switching which we'd love to be able to use. I can't figure out how to connect to the drive in one account without the 2nd account then seeing it as a volume without proper permissions, then that account creates a new volume mount for it (which doesn't work with iTunes properly and seems to cause other wierd issues).
Example: So say 'user1' logs in, mounts the drive 'Jukebox'. everything seems OK so far. 'Jukebox' is on the desktop and iTunes finds the music. Now I fast user switch to 'user2' and there is a 'Jukebox' on the desktop with the red minus icon indicating I don't have permissions to access it. If I then browse the network and mount the drive, I end up with ANOTHER 'Jukebox' on the desktop. BUT iTunes doesn't see it properly. If I look in the /Volumes/ folder with the Terminal, I see a mountpoint for 'Jukebox' (with the owner of 'user1' group 'staff') and now a new mountpoint called 'Jukebox-1' (with the owner of 'user2' group 'staff').
It seems when you mount a AFP drive, it creates the Volume with the current user and staff group, but switching to another user then can't access that when it sees it in the /Volumes folder. You try to mount again and it creates a NEW mountpoint, names it with a '-1' at the end and you can use that (but iTunes cant).
So... how does one use a shared drive that you want on BOTH users desktops with Fast User Switching turned on? Is there a way to have the drive mounted BEFORE either user logs in, such that it will be seen as any other local drive (which doesn't have the issue)??
Or is there some other way I can attach to the network volume in each account on login so both have access to music and videos with full permissions?
I'm really stumped here after 2 hrs of googling, searching here and trying things.
TIA

I've not had any luck with the suggestions in the link either.
Here's two other approaches I've tried and failed with:
1. Creating a new share point on the cube itself so that one user can mount it as a different volume. Then the issue is that I still don't have a volume named "Jukebox" available to each user when switching. I DO have access now to the data from both accounts, but under 2 different mount points (volume names) and the xml file for iTunes is hard coded with the path for each mp3 including the "Jukebox" volume name... so no go.
2. Tried figuring out a way I could script a mounting of the share with the terminal thinking I could then run that shell script at startup. Can't seem to get the sytax right. If I create a directory in /Volumes and mount and afp share to it, it takes on the ownership of root/wheel which I can't access in the finder and can't seem to change.
BUT I'll keep playing with both these ideas a bit... the first one might be overcome with a bit of logic and the 2nd if I can get the syntax right to mount the share with afp_mount and give it the correct ownership/permissions such that when a user logs in she/he sees the volume on the desktop and has full r/w access to it.
thanks again. if you offhand know the syntax for that, let me know

Mr Hussein ,
I guess it is an issue with autoconfig. So i tried to run auto config manually and got the following error which I would like you to have a look at

Oracle forms 10g (win Xp middle tier IE 8 Win 7- IE 8 client)

forms services 10.1.2.0.2
Database 11gR2 also on Win Xp pro SP3
Hi
I have a problem with java and Jinitiator and my understanding of what is / should be happening.
In the file forms/server/formsweb.cfg see below. I can alter the parameter
baseHTMLjinitiator=basejini.htm
###baseHTMLjinitiator=basejpi.htm
between the two alternatives. As it stands as shown the IE8 on the middle tier and on the database PC both work as near correctly as i can tell. On the Win 7 client IE 8 however crashes. switch it to the other way around and the
win 7 works and the win xp on the database server stops with frm-92095 error version number too low. while on the middle tier Xp PC a blank doucument is displayed.
How can i have both working at the same time please. I you need more information i will happily supply it.

# formsweb.cfg defines parameter values used by the FormsServlet (frmservlet)
# This section defines the Default settings. Any of them may be overridden in the
# following Named Configuration sections. If they are not overridden, then the
# values here will be used.
# The default settings comprise two types of parameters: System parameters,
# which cannot be overridden in the URL, and User Parameters, which can.
# Parameters which are not marked as System parameters are User parameters.
# SYSTEM PARAMETERS
# These have fixed names and give information required by the Forms
# Servlet in order to function. They cannot be specified in the URL query
# string. But they can be overridden in a named configuration (see below).
# Some parameters specify file names: if the full path is not given,
# they are assumed to be in the same directory as this file. If a path
# is given, then it should be a physical path, not a URL.
# USER PARAMETERS
# These match variables (e.g. %form%) in the baseHTML file. Their values
# may be overridden by specifying them in the URL query string
# (e.g. "http://myhost.mydomain.com/forms/frmservlet?form=myform&width=700")

You have a mixture of problems here.
1. Oracle Jinitiator is not supported for use on Windows 7
2. JRE 1.7 is not supported for use with any version of Forms on any platform. Be sure you do not have this version installed.
3. JRE 1.6 is not supported for use with Forms 10.1.2.0.2, however is supported with 10.1.2.3 (10.1.2.0.2 + patch ID 5983622) and only with IE 8
4. In order to use Win 7 with Forms 10 in a certified and supported manner, you must use 10.1.2.3 (meaning 10.1.2.0.2 + patch ID 5983622).
In short, my recommendation would be the following:
o Patch to 10.1.2.3 (assuming you have access to MyOracleSupport)
o Don't bother trying to use Oracle Jinitiator as it is old and has been desupported for a long time.
o Uninstall any instances of Jinitiator as it can cause conflicts with other JRE installations.
o Uninstall all instances of JRE 1.7. Reconfig your formsweb.cfg to use the JRE (Java Plugin) 1.6.0
