Unable to install File Upload Utility in AIX system

Question

Hello,
I installed the Forms File Upload Utility, through CGI, following the steps described in the html
document provided with the utility. That is:
- i copied the files UploadClient.jar.sig and UploadServer.jar to the directory
/ias102/6iserver/forms60/java;
- i edited the .profile file, for the variable CLASSPATH to include the forms60/java directory:
CLASSPATH=/ias102/6iserver/forms60/java:/ias102/6iserver/forms60/java/UploadServer.jar:/ias102/6iserver/discwb4/classes/locator.jar:/usr/java131/jre/lib/rt.jar:
- i edited the .profile file, for the variable PATH to include the requested directories (Forms \bin and \bin\classic):
PATH=/ias102/6iserver/lib:/ias102/6iserver/bin:/usr/java131/jre/bin/classic/:/us
r/java13
1/bin:$PATH
(i also tried editing the CLASSPATH and PATH variables in the forms60.sh and forms60_server files)
- on my machine (client machine) i installed the PJC.x509 certificate;
After this installation, i included the Demo Form provided with the utility in my test application, and then i executed
the form.
I tried to upload a file but i got the following error: "FRM-40735: WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-06508"
I looked in the html document, in the "Troubleshooting" section, and i did a test pressing
the Key-Listval (Control+L by default), that would pop up a dialog containing
the current CLASSPATH, but instead i got the following error:
"FRM-40735: KEY-LISTVAL trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-105100."
In the html said that "If this fails then this is because Forms cannot instanciate any Java code
at all".
Do i need to add any more environment settings?
Thanks, Jorge

Answer 1

There are probably several environment variables which need to be set in order for the Forms runtime to communicate with Java. However, to where they point will depend on which Java home you choose to use. For Forms 6.x, you must use the equivalent of JDK 1.1.8 or 1.2.2. These versions are included in the Oracle home. If you try using a newer version (like the one installed on the OS) you will likely have problems.
Verify these env variables point to the appropriate locations to use the jdk/jre in the Oracle Home:
PATH
CLASSPATH
LIBPATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
JAVA_HOME
Additionally, ensure that your CLASSPATH includes references to the following jar files:
importer.jar
rt.jar
