Using Kerberos authentication on Forms and Reports version 11.1.2

Hi
I have configured Kerberos authentication for Forms on the server and it works fine, but I cannot get it to work for Reports.
When I access the database for Forms I use a connect string that looks like this: /@tns_name The Forms server is running using a domain user and the database user is externally identified. It just works.
I have tried the same for Reports but it is not accepted. In the URL I have written userid=/@tns_name and the Reports server then asks for user id and password with a pre filled tns_name. I have tried to put the userid parameter in cgicmd.dat but the result is the same. Even enabled SSO in rwservlet.properties using singlesignon>yes</singlesignon> but it just do not work.
I have bounced the server every time I have made a change to be absolutely that the changes had taken effect.
The question is: How do I tell the Reports server that I do not want to apply user id and password but just the tns_name, like /@tns_name
I know Kerberos authentication is not an area that is well known and I have spent hours over the years to find out how to make the configuration work.

Questions regarding version compabilities come up quite often, yet the answer is still the same: have a look at the certification matrix http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/oracle-forms-11gr2certmatrix-519680.xls
for installation instructions on your chosen platform have a look at the installation manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/doc.11120/e23960/toc.htm
What do you plan to do with SOA suite? This isn't needed for forms&reports.

Can I use forms and reports 6I runtime for production environment?

I have a doubt.
I know if i use or install developer (forms and reports 6I) both, runtime and builder, I do require a license.
But If I buy the standard edition license for database (in production or deployment), and I wanna use the runtimes (from forms and reports) only as runtime not to modify or develop anything, is it possible? just to download it or install it in RUNTIME mode?
Is it possible and legal?
Thanks

Can I download that developer and install both forms and report runtime (yes only runtime) to access a licensed standard edition database? The problem is, you can't download that version any more! All download links to Forms version earlier that 10g R2 have been removed from Oracle's web site. You might still be able to download Forms 6i from My Oracle Support, but this requires a paid license agreement with Oracle to access My Oracle Support (formerly Metalink).
So, if you already have a copy of Oracle Developer Forms and Reports 6i then all you need to do is contact your local Oracle Sales Representative to get an official answer to your licensing question. If you don't have a copy of Forms 6i, then you are pretty much out of luck unless you know someone who has a copy!

System setup/installation to use Forms and Reports 11g

We are a high education organization. We recently get a request from faculty to create an Oracle environment for academic purpose. We have Oracle database 11g installed on a Windows 2008 R2 64bit server. Faculty require to use Froms and Reports 11g. My questions is what will be the basic minimum set up to make that happen? Can we also install the WLS with Forms and Reports on the same server that the database is on, then only install Forms and Reports client part on user workstations? Can somebody provide any documentation that can help on this issue? Thanks.

Michael Ferrante's post in this thread has a list of useful documents
How to run Oracle Forms app on local PC?
For your server configuration you should be looking for the Windows 64 bit version of Weblogic Server and Forms.
> My questions is what will be the basic minimum set up to make that happen?
The system requirement guide in the link above will have all the information you need
> Can we also install the WLS with Forms and Reports on the same server that the database is on
Yes, assuming your server meets the combined requirements for both products, although I prefer to keep them separated for ease of administration.
> ..then only install Forms and Reports client part on user workstations?
For Forms 11g there is no installation required on the client to run forms applications (other than JRE). However if the user workstations will be used to run the forms builder and reports builder used to create the forms and reports modules, you will need to install Weblogic and Forms (Developer install type) on each workstation.
One note of caution: Forms 11g is extremely sensitive to the versions of the components - Weblogic Server, Forms, Java, Internet Explorer, etc. I would use only the versions certified in the certification matrix in the link above.

Forms and Reports: Automated Test tools - functionality AND performance

All,
I'm looking to get a few leads on an automated test tools that may be used to validate Oracle forms and reports (see my software configuration below). I'm looking for tools that can automate both functional tests and performance. By this I mean;
Functional Testing:
* Use of shortcut keys
* Navigation between fields
* Screen organisation (filed locations)
* Exercise forms validation (bad input values)
* Provide values to forms and simulate user commit, and go and verify database state is as expected
Performance Testing:
* carry out tests for fixed user load
* carry out tests for scaled step increase in user load
* automated collection of log files and metrics during test
So far I have:

Thanks in advance for your response.

Configuration:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux x86-64 architecture v4.5 64 bit
Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
Oracle Developer Suite (Oracle Forms and Reports) V10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
Oracle JInitiator 1.3.1.17 or later
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

are there any tools for doing this activity like oracle recommended tools?
Your question is unclear. As IK mentioned, the only tool you need is a new version of Oracle Forms/Reports. Open your v10 modules in a v11 Builder and select Save. You now have a v11 module. Doing a "Compile All PL/SQL" before saving is a good idea, but not required. The Builders and utilites provided with the version 11 installation are the only supported tools for upgrading your application. If you are trying to do the conversion of many Forms files in a scripted manner, you can use the Forms compiler in a script. Generating new "X" files will also update the source modules (fmb, mmb, pll). See MyOracleSupport Note 955143.1
Also included in the installation in the Forms Migration Assistant. Although it is more useful to people coming from older versions, it can also be used to move from v10 to 11. It allows you to select more than one file at a time. Documentation for this utility can be found in the Forms Upgrade Guide.

10g Forms and reports standalone - 64 bit software available?

Hi All,
Is oracle application server 10g forms and reports standalone softaware available in 64-bit version?
Please provide the link to download thye same.
Thanks,
Anand.

1GB of RAM seems to work better. I just upgraded to 1GB from 512MB on a new ThinkPad running XP, 10g release 2 database, and 10.1.2 Application Server (Forms and Reports version). When I had 512, something broke and I wound up resetting the factory defaults using the IBM recovery tool. When I added the extra memory, everything went well. On the other hand, a four-year-old Dell desktop with 512MB works okay. Whatever.

Can we enable licensing facility for our customized forms and report...?

He All,
We have a product and we frequently used to send customized forms and reports to our customers through the shipment team after QC certified. But some of the customized forms and reports have sent to the customers without their knowledge from the development team, it is creating a big problem in the customer site.
We would like to know that is there any facilities to verify that this shipment has come from through proper channel or not if not they should not open. Is there any license kind of thing that we can do..? If I run some exe file which will check that and let the customer to use it..?
If any one have the knowledge about this kindly share with us. any kind of information regarding this can be appreciated.
With Best Regards
Thangaraj

So you want the customer to be able to check if the forms where shipped through the proper department from your company?
First thing that comes to my mind is to pack all the Forms in a JAR file (which is basically a ZIP file) and sign the JAR file with the jarsigner tool. To sign the JAR you need access to the private key that is in a keystore that's only available to this single department. The customer can verify if the JAR was signed with a proper certificate.
You could issue your own certificate to do this but requires the user to also first import this certificate so it is trusted. You could also buy a commercial certificate from a vendor like Verisign but there are costs involved.
Just google for jarsigner and keytool to get the idea.

Migration of forms and reports developed using Headstart VERSION 3.4.1

Hi,
We have developed an application in forms 4.5 reports 2.0 based on repository 1.3.2 and Headstart
Designer/2000 Template Package VERSION 3.4.1
Now we want to migrate to Oracle 9i(web enabled)
1)Is it possible to migrate only the forms and reports in 4,5 to 9i without the designer repository?Can the repository be left out?
2)What about the templates and packages on the 2000 Headstart version.Is it necessary to migrate the same to 9i also?
2)In case the repository has also to be migrated how do i go about migration to 9i??
4)In case the headstart template/packages to be migrated how do i migrate to 9i?
5)Where is the documentation available for headstart?
Kindly help..

Hi 23768 ( ;-) ),
There is a whole wealth on information regarding upgrade/migration of headstart generated application systems.
What you need is a licence on iDevelopment Accellerators and the Supplement Option (cso.oracle.com) to download this material.
Contact your Oracle Consulting representative if you would like to know how to do this.

Problem hiding userid etc in cookie using 10.1.2.0.2 Forms and Reports

Hi
Background
I am new to 10.1.2.0.2 Forms and Reports and also to Application Server - though not to Oracle forms and reports. We are currently converting from 6i.
Due to security concerns we would very much like to use the FrmReportsInteg Bean (or like) to hide userid connect string in a temporary and encrypted cookie when trying to run a report from a form (and the report has a report parameter screen that we want to display).
Firstly I have to decide how we are going to use reports via the Developer Suite -for development work. Then I have to work out how to do it via the Application Server - for testing and production. So if you have two variations of any solutions - one for DS and one for AS, could you give both please?
Problem
Problem is that I cannot get the bean to work. I get report parameter form displaying ok, hit submit and then get the Database User Authentication window poppling up with the "REP-51018: Need database user authentication" error that I've noticed a few other people in this forum have had too. If the user id etc is then entered in this window, the report parameter form redisplays (from a second html) and submitting this causes the report to display. Don't like the Database User Authentication window poppling up and don't like the second parameter form - html for this has the userid etc in it.
For me though I can't even get the bean to output any logs. Got any ideas to help me at least output some logs?
Also do I have to do anything to the browser (IE6) to get it to read the cookies?
Do I need to change the bean code for the DS in some way - eg to avoid using domain name (as I noticed in another thread)?
My code exactly follows the whitepaper and I also carefully followed the instructions for adding the bean to the form and configuring the forms services - as per white paper.
Looking forward to some answers

and any one refer for any something need to setup plz refer to the exact link
thanks and regards

First, Windows 8 is not a supported platform for installing Forms/Report 11.1.2
Second, if you are running a 64-bit platform then you need to install the 64-bit software. Also, before you perform any part of the installation, you will need to first install an appropriate JDK (64-bit if the OS is 64). So in short, I would recommend you read the installation instructions and certification guide before starting. Those documents can be access from here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E38115_01/index.htm
Generally speaking the installation process is simple. Here are the basic steps:
1. Know your operating system and machine. You must understand the OS with which you are working. Is it 64bit or 32, is it an Oracle certified platform for the software you want to install, does your machine have enough RAM installed, etc.....
2. Install JDK version 6. Be sure to use 64bit if your OS is 64 or 32 if your OS is 32. Do not use Java 7 for the installation
3. Ensure that your machine has a static IP address. If it does not, install and configure the Windows Loopback Adapter.
4. Install WLS 10.3.6
5. Install FMw Forms/Reports 11.1.2.1
Although the above steps seem simple, I recommend you review the documents I mentioned before starting any installation.
