Problem on integrating forms 6i and reports 6i on web

Hai,
I am integrating forms 6i and reports 6i on web.if one user access the reports then no problem.If multiple users access the reports on same time the the server is goslow down,some error (memory related) is also coming.Please any body can explain about this problem?.
And tell me i have to use concurrent manager or without concurrent i can solve the problem?.
Thank you....
with regards,
Thivan.A.S.

is your application server big enough for the application you host? Did you test it before going production with a stress test? There are several good white papers from oracle in the forms-section on the OTN.
it sounds, that you run out of memory when starting some reports. Because reports sometimes (depends on the report) uses much more memory than a form you can temporarily run out of memory.
check the memory usage on the server if possible, when running such reports

Are Forms Builder and Reports available as Web Application?

We have a few developers working on custom forms and reports for various projects including EBS 12.x. To avoid the hastle associated with patching and upgrading all desktops, we are looking for a server based forms builder and reports writer.
I am familiar with UNIX based tools in EBS that can run with X-windows [on local desktop]. Created an SR with OS, but not getting a satisfactory response. I am looking for pointers to browser based tools. Do they even exist? I was hoping maybe something in Fusion stack might allow it.
Thanks,
Sachin

Thanks all for your feedback. Confirmed this with the Oracle Sales team. There is no browser tool available from Oracle. If you must avoid the desktop install, the only option is frmbld/rwbuilder in $ORACLE_HOME/bin (R12).

Forms 6i and Reports 6i

We plan to deploy 3-tier architecture. Regarding that I have a query im middle tier.
Are Forms 6i and Reports 6i part of Oracle 9i AS OR come as a separate products?
Thanks in advance.

Separate products. You don't need iAS to run Forms and Reports on the web. Any listener will do. Here's some additional info: http://www.summitsoftwaredesign.com/articles/article8.html

Running forms 6i and reports 6i from oracle portal

hi all,
is it possible to run the forms and the reports developed in
forms 6i and reports 6i from oracle portal
or
is it possible to export forms 6i and reports 6i into oracle
portal
prabhakaran

Dear Friend,
It is possible to deploy 6i forms & reports by Apache Web
Listener. You will have to edit the httpd.conf configuration
file and add your virtual path as Alias. The Virtual Paths are
/dev60html/
/dev60cgi/
/jinitiator/
/dev60temp/
Reply me if youre are successful.
Thanx.

OracleAS 10g (9.0.4.0.2) Load Balancing Forms, Discoverer and reports

I am having some problems trying to load balance with Oracle Forms, Discoverer and reports Oracle Application Server Release 10g (9.0.4.0.2) and I was wondering if you could help. Has any one ever got this to work consistently? We are an ERP product written mostly in forms (904) and are trying to implement are largest customer there performance issue so we need the load balancing to work. Will also accept other recommendation as cost effective as solutions.

I have more then half decent results with webcache as load balancer, but it still is a round robin (as mentioned before). This means that a session will not be transfered from one application server to the other once the session has been created.
So far I did not discover any benefits of a hardware loadbalancer over webcache, because (here it is again:) you are not able to transfer open sessions from one application server to the next. This has to do with the Oracle Forms architecture. In fact it is still client-server, only with the application server functioning as extra server ;)

Apllication executable file of forms 6i and report 6i

hi every one..
i have developed a small application in forms 6i and reports are generated in report 6i.now i want to make a executable file to run my application.
is it possible?if possible how it can be done ???
plz instruct me step wise because i am fresher in this field.

...now i want to make a executable file to run my application.is it possible?if possible how it can be done ???>
No, Oracle Forms is similar to Java in that it requires and executes within a "Runtime." In order to run your Forms 6 application you must have the Forms and Reports Runtime installed on the client computer. Take a look at the following document (Chapter 1.5) for information on "Deploying Completed Applications." Oracle Forms Developer and Oracle Reports Developer: Guidelines for Building Applications

Forms 6i and Reports 10g

Hello together,
You can see at the subject that I want to combine Forms 6i and Reports 10g.
Why? 6i does not support html interpretation and unicode.
So what do you think about the kombination with old (Forms) 6i and new 10g (Reports)?
How does the Reports published in 10g ?
Paul
ps: sorry for my bad english

Reports in WebForms needs OAS (Oracle Application Server) to be published, they are viewed over the net in a browser.
It's a very bad idea to combine them and most of the things will not work, even if make them work it will cost you lot more than just simply, migrate your application to Froms 10g.
It would be easier for you to migrate your whole application to Forms 10g

How i can make forms read form nls and reports read from anather

hi evrey one

I think that this property is found in the file format .ini,
I forgot his name,
Is there one has found this information,

At a minimum, the creation of the TcpClient will need to change its parameter to the name of server you want to use:
TcpClient tClient = new TcpClient("gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com", 25);

Compatability for Forms-5 and Report-3

Does Forms-5 and Reports-3 connect to Oracle-8i.I get a message Ora-03121 no interface driver connected function not performed when trying to connect.
So please suggest

I can't find any matrix (as these are de-supported versions) but I have worked on Forms 5.0 and reports 3.0 with Oracle 9.0.1. And there were no issues. Thus, I may dare assume it should work with 9.2.0.8 as well, which is the terminal release for Oracle 9i.

TEXT_IO.FOPEN not working on web deployed app FORMS 6i

Hi all
I have coded parsing file by using TEXT_IO.GET_LINE but it seems that my file even can't be opened.
declare
file1 text_io.file_type;
filename1 varchar(256);
linebuf varchar2(100);
begin
file1 := TEXT_IO.FOPEN(:CSV.CSV_PATH, 'r');
Text_IO.Get_Line(file1, linebuf);
if linebuf!='blablablablabla' then msg('line is OK!');
else msg('Line is wrong!');
end if;
TEXT_IO.FCLOSE(file1);
end;
On local machine when i enter into :CSV.CSV_PATH "C:\details.txt" the file gets loaded because it gets processing, I can see messages.
When I upload form onto remote web-deployed app server, I enter into path "D:\details.txt" (I cannot write on C:, the files are the same) nothing happens. Does it mean text_io won't work on Fomrs6i web-deployed? How can I investigate this issue.
Thanks in advance
Tome

With Forms Server deployments. TEXT_IO writes the file on the Forms server not the local PC as it did in client-server mode.
Here are some workarounds
1) Download the WEBUTIL add-on from Oracle and use its TEXT_IO package to write to the local file.
WebUtil is an essential add-on loaded with goodies such as a file browse dialog for local files. Its easy to use and is designed to be compatible with other oracle routines like TEXT_IO.
Kudos to Duncan Mills at Oracle for this top add-on - dont leave home without it.
www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/webutil.htm2) Use the original TEXT_IO (as you are now) to write to a file on the Forms Sever , then display it in a browser window using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT
3) I remember seeing some some old Java scripts on OTN to write to local PC.
MY APOLOGIES for #3. Most forum posts can be solved with that little gem of an answer. "My sink is blocked" ... "yeah I saw some java code to fix that"

Suggest good book titles on Forms 6i and Reports 6i with latest edition...

Hi
I did not find any latest edition of a book by any author regarding forms 6i. please suggest a best book which explain me to develop forms and reports in illustrative manner. i searched entire net but cant find a good book on forms6i and reports 6i. So anybody suggest me best titles to my requirement.
Thank u in advance
prasanth a.s.

A GREAT book is called "Oracle9i Developer: Developing Web Applications with Forms Builder" by John Adolph Palinski. (www.course.com) While the title says 9i, it tells you along the whole way where 6i differs and how to do it in 6i. In the preface it says "This book also supports developers using Oracle6i Forms Builder... Throughout the book a distinctive 6i icon identifies explanations and exercises related to 6i."
The only thing I don't like is there's no answers to the questions. I suppose because it's used in a lot of classrooms. But regardless, I've recently purchased 4 Forms books, and this is by far the best for learning (since I'm a newbie). But at the end of each chapter you take steps to build a real application from scratch. Hope that helps!

Conflict between Forms server and Report server (Urgent)

Hell to every body,
I want to install oracle Forms6i and reports on my client.when i install Forms6i and after i run my forms on web they work well.but when i install reports server it install but when i run it on web it genrates error (the requested url was not found or cannot be served at this time. oracle report server CGI, Unable to communication with the report server.)
with this message my forms server also stop to work.I have tryed to install it with same port and with different port but i receive the same message.Plz tell me what me have to do.I am wating for Ur reply.
i have another question is that how i can install only the report server on client.

You are probably overwriting your web listener definition when you install reports after forms.
If you are using the webdb listener, then check out the *.cfg files in the listener\cfg directory. there you have the directory mappings and the CGI mappings keep a copy of this file before you install reports and then just add the missing lines to the file after you install reports.
To know which lines to add check out the last message that you get when you install (the one with the [info] and [action] lines)

Forms 6i and Reports 6i for Window Vista

Dear!
How can I find out the software of Oracle Forms 6i & Oracle Reports 6i & Oracle Database 9i which supports Windows Vista 32-bit Edition.
Please Helpme...

Why so old (and desupported) products ?Because they work?
I've known sites that don't upgrade until the version they're upgrading to is desupported - at that point it's mature and has almost all the bugs found and either fixed or workarounds identified.
Another possibility is that their application relies on features of client/server, and 6i is the last client/server version.
We're still using Forms 6i for a combination of those two reasons. Client/Server will rise again! After all, dumb terminals have made a comeback (sorry, it's called webforms these days).
