Viewing Icons in Oracle Forms on the Web - any solutions?

Has anyone had problems viewing icons when deploying forms on the web? In client server mode it used to be .ico files. I recently converted our files to .gif and added a register UI_ICON to recognize the icon images when running the forms. I still cannot get the images to appear (icons on buttons). Am I missing something? I am using Oracle Forms 6i Release 2 on Oracle9iAS (1.0.2.2.2a) platform.

How to run others application in Oracle Forms on the web version?

How to run others application in Oracle Forms on the web version?

Pang,
guess that you want to start client side programs from Forms on the Web. There is a sample on OTN (host bean) that allow you to acces sthe client and start executables.

Oracle Forms Over the WEB

We are still using Oracle 7.3.X DB and Oracle 10.7
we have successfully developed a forms program using Developer/2000 Rel 6
We now want to web-enable it - allow end users to use Java enabled browser.
We have setup Apache Web Server on Win NT 4.0 for the Middle Tier.
We checked that for the Middle Tier, we need :
- Oracle Application Server 3.0.2
- Oracle Forms 2.4 / 2.5
- Oracle Reports 2.5
- Character and/or GUI (SmartClient) or NCA Configuration
I am thinking :
- we want to explore ways of not upgrading to 9iAS. If we can still get hold of OAS 3.0.2, Forms and Reports 2.5 .. and install them on Win NT 4.0, I think it can still meet our needs. What are your opinions ? Is this a lost cause ?
- does Oracle Forms + Reports 2.5 really need OAS 3.0.2 ? Can't we just install them on NT 4.0 + Apache Server and use Jinitiator 1.1.7.18 on the clients ?
Thanks in advance.

Surjadi,
I think you can use the Apache server for your webforms. I've done so with Apache+webforms 6i and Netscape Fasttrack + webforms 6i. You have to define some url's like the place where webforms can find the jar-files.
But your are using Apps 10.7 and it is a good idea to talk to Oracle first. There are good documents on metalink about settings
Applications (oracle financials 10.7) need in order to use webforms.
Kind regards,
Ivan Saez

Oracle 9i Application Server+Oracle 8i EE+ Forms on the web Very urgent

Hi,
I have correctly install Oracle 9i Application Server and Oracle 8i Entreprise Edition on Windows 2000. What are the following steps to follow in order to run a form on the web. example: test.fmx?
Thanks in advance.

If your web server is working and the forms server is running type:
http://ip addr:port/dev60html/runform.htm
You need to put the ip address or name of your server in and the port number apache is running on (leave blank if this is 80).
This gives you the Oracle Forms start screen.

DEV 6.0 team : Help req while running forms on the WEB

I am using Windows NT 4.0 with Service pack 3 running Oracle8
8.0.5 with Apps Server 4.0.7 and Dev6.0. I have been able to run
Forms on the web and with Jinitiator and with out Jinitiator but
there are a few problems
1 ) The Tigger " When Mouse Click" does not fires on the web for
a display item.
2) when i set the CLASSPATH=E:\orant\forms60\java for forms the
tree in OAS 4.0.7 stops showing and if i remove it from there
then i am not able to run the forms for web through the forms
designer
3) the performnce is very slow how to improve the performance on

I can only speculate on some of your issues, but maybe they
might give you some insight on possible alternatives.
Mouse-Click on Display Item
The display item does not, by definition allow modification.
Have you tried changing the item to text and then disabling the
INSERT and UPDATE properties to NO? I have tried using display
items in the past, resulting in a grayed-out box on the web. To
get around this, I made the above changes and created a mouse
trigger to jump to another field when someone tried to mouse-
click on it.
Changing CLASSPATH on OAS 4.0.7
I had the same results. The OAS installation sets the CLASSPATH
to what it needs and changing it has the results you describe.
I am curious, however, are you able to view the form from the
Developer Forms Designer using the other CLASSPATH. I have not
been able to use this feature at all. I read somewhere that
this functionality is not available in the beta version. I
would appreciate any information that you can share.
Jinitiator Performance
Assuming that you have already tried cache settings and short of
the users having faster machines with more memory, faster web
access, etc. I don't think there is much we can do but wait for
Oracle and Sun to make enhancements.
I have had some success with using IE 5.0 (beta) directly
without the Jinitiator. My web applications load and run a
whole lot faster using the same configuration that you describe.
It might be worth another look!
Hope this helps.

Color interface of the forms over the web are not confortable

hello,
the interface color of our application in the web are not realy confortable for our client comparing the old color used in our client/server application.
we want to change it but we are not able the set a confortable color for our
application :
- if we use the lookandfell=generic but the color of toolbar are disable.
- if we use the lookandfeel=oracle, the the choice of color for colorscheme is
not variable (it exist only 5 choice).
our environment ;
OAS 10G (9041)
FORMS 10G
DATABASE 10G
we use the forms Servlet (e.g. f60servlet/f90servlet) to invoke the Form over the Web.
can you help us.
thank's

For as far as I can remember there is a difference between look-and-feel Oracle and Generic in displaying toolbar icon.
Generic follows the Windows 9x/Internet Explorer approach of showing all toolbar icons as gray-tones and only showing color when you hover over them with the mouse. Oracle lookandfeel displays all toolbar-icons in color (as long as they are enabled).

I've installed Forms Server in another Oracle home called 'dev6i'. I've the f60web.jar and 11 other .jar files in \dev6i\forms60\java directory. I've installed the forms server successfully (I can say this because I was able to run the test form successfully couple of times, until I installed reports server in the same Oracle home. Then it started giving this message in the java console). I've also installed Webdblistener. My reports test page is displaying correctly though. Any ideas what might have happened??
Thanks
VL.

Oracle forms to j2ee/web application

Hello all,
I need help with converting "oracle forms" to j2ee/web application. There are only 2-3 forms. But I needed to know how to do it from scratch. I looked at some softwares available to do it. But its costly.
Basically the company I am working with, needed all the forms online, so that they can access it using a browser. As part of the development, I am using jdeveloper 10g.
could some help me out
Thanks a lot
san

Well if you need your Forms accesible from a browser you don't need to convert them to Java - you just use Forms on the Web - http://otn.oracle.com/formsupgrade
If you still want to convert to Java have a look at the Forms page for more info:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms
and also here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/4gl/formsdesignerj2ee.html

Oracle Help for the Web 2.0 Production

Oracle Help for the Web 2.0 is now available on OTN Downloads.
Oracle Help for the Web (OHW) 2.0 is a major update to the previous releases OHW 1.1x and OHW 1.0.x, and is designed and recommended to replace both.
Some of the new features in 2.0 include the following:
Support for Bookmarking Navigator Pages
OHW 2.0 no longer uses frames to store navigational state on the webpage. Each navigator stores its complete state on the URL, allowing each page to be bookmarked. This includes TOC locations, keyword locations, and search runs. In the view topic page, the frame information is also saved, allowing a user to forward the link via email, etc to the displayed topic. In addition, if you navigate to a named anchor within a topic page, this page position is also saved and is bookmarkable.
Multiple Locale Support in a Single Instance
OHW 2.0 can now support multiple locales in the same servlet instance. After you register the helpsets in the OHW configuration file, the OHW servlet will automatically determine the best locale to use for a user request (based on browser settings and what locales are available), and display the localized helpset (along with a localized OHW chrome) to the user. This feature also means that if you navigate to a topic in English, and then send the link via email to a user whose browser supports Japanese, if the Japanese helpset is registered, the topic link will appear in Japanese to the second user.
Search Engine Support
OHW has been specially designed so that search engine crawlers can reach all hosted content (including table of contents, and index pages) and easily traverse within and between the available navigators. Page titles have also been redesigned to make pages easier to locate from within a search engine result set.
Ability to Share Resources Across Localized Helpsets
OHW can be configured so that helpsets can share resources such as images and CSS stylesheets. Since each localized helpset no longer needs its own resources, this can dramatically reduce the size of the deployed file.
Relative Content Locations
Content locations can now be specified relative to the OHW configuration file.
True Popup Support
OHW now properly supports Oracle Help popup links. Following this link will bring up a dynamic draggable DHTML window (or a normal popup window if the browser does not support it) with the requested topic page.
All Level Merging in the Table of Contents
Using the default TOC engines, each level of the TOC will merge like elements together. This change reflects modifications made to core Oracle Help classes and mimics the feature added to Oracle Help for Java (OHJ).
New Tree-based Table of Contents Navigator
The Tree-based TOC navigator shows the data in a heirarchical fashion and allows the user to see the full TOC (and not just a limited part of the TOC, as with previous versions of OHW). The tree-based TOC navigator is a standard navigator and can be added by including it in the helpset configuration file.

Yes, I am now able to access this page and download OHW.
Thanks very much,
Lucie
