Web forms in 10g

hi,
i must install forms and web server in 10g, so the forms could be shown on web. what i don't know is what should i install, aplication server or developer suite (10g pack of 10 cd's including app server (3 cd) and dev suite (2 cd))???

the app-server is for your big server in the background.
the developer-suite is for your developer-pc's where you create your application.
in the first step you can develop without app-server. You can test your forms against the OC4J, which is delivered in the dev-suite. After installation, there is a link to startup the oc4j and shutdown.
So you can give the suite to your developers. Then they can work and parallel to them you build the application-server.
hi Gerd
i have already installed oc4j as standalone on my pc; i needed it earlier, for mapviewer. so you say that's it, i mean, when i start it, forms will be displayed on web with no problem?
i mean, when i installed 6i forms i should've tested if it was working (start->6i forms->run the form on the web->test), and had to configure several things, like:
- sqlnet.ora
- tnsnames.ora
- formsweb.cfg
- had to add path to forms to be shown on web in registry
- had to edit registry.dat to add icons
- wdbsvr.cfg
so, where to configure such things in oc4j?

Slowness in deployment with web form (10g)

Hi gurus,
I was able to successfully migrate form 6i (C/S mode) to web form in 10g (10.1.2).
However, the response in web form is far too slow due to network roundtrip involved. I looked at some of the articles and mentioned to remove synchronize function and it actually does show some improvement, however, we cannot always do so by just removing synchronize function.
Is it true that implementation of javabean can reduce the amount of network roundtrips?
Apart from that , is there other ways that can improve the performance.
If there is any docs available for reference that will be great!
Because the form currently use in production are quite large and it is not easily cut down to smaller form , so I need to know what other option I can consider. Otherwise, we need to consider .NET for the web version deployment.
Thanks and regards,
Ana

Ana - why do you think that .Net would give you improvements - You can right a slow application in .Net just as easily as with Forms.
First you need to identify WHERE the application is slow..using Java Beans will only help if the bulk of your performance hit is comms back to the application server - and remember, a Java bean doesn't magically appear on the client - it needs to be downloaded as well... .Check out.
http://www.groundside.com/blog/content/GrantRonald/Oracle%20Forms/2005/07/15/Oracle_Forms_Can_you_get_it_to_perform_on_a_WAN.html
as a starting point...and then maybe do some simple tests to find out where you think the bulk of the performance issues are..

Hierarchical tree in web forms 10g - form freezing

I have an application with an hierarchical tree on one of the forms - the application worked fine as client/server back in forms 6 but now that it is web enabled in 10g there are problems with the tree causing the form to freeze, then the entire application has to be closed. It doesn't seem to matter if you are selecting a node or creating a new node both have caused the form to freeze. It doesn't happen all of the time but it seems that the longer the application has been in use the more it starts to freeze. Any ideas? Is there a known problem with trees in web forms? Thanks
Joanne

At the root of my tree is a patient (I work in the health care industry) and then for that patient there are clinic visits, surgeries, etc (there are 16 nodes at this level). and under each of these are dates when the visits occured (there can be an unlimited number of nodes at this level). This is some of my code for populating the tree:
if :GLOBAL.patient_seq is not null then
-- turn the tree on
set_item_property('tree_block.tree_item', ENABLED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
set_item_property('tree_block.tree_item', NAVIGABLE, PROPERTY_TRUE);
lv_tree_id := find_item('TREE_BLOCK.TREE_ITEM');
--refresh the tree back to it's original state from the database
Ftree.Set_Tree_Property(lv_tree_id,
     Ftree.RECORD_GROUP,
     FIND_GROUP('TREE_GROUP'));
-- create the clinic visits branch
wcchn_tree_items_pkg.get_visits(lv_visit_table, :global.patient_seq);
for lv_counter in 1.. lv_visit_table.count loop
lv_site := wcchn_locations_pkg.get_location_code(lv_visit_table(lv_counter).site);
create_visit_node( lv_visit_table(lv_counter).visit_date || ' - ' || lv_site,
     lv_tree_id,
lv_visit_table(lv_counter).seq_nr);
end loop;
Below is the procedure referred to in the above segment of code:
PROCEDURE CREATE_VISIT_NODE (pi_date IN VARCHAR2, pi_tree_id IN ITEM, pi_seq IN NUMBER) IS
lv_return_value NUMBER;
lv_node_value varchar2(100);
lv_search_node FTREE.node;
BEGIN
lv_search_node:=FTREE.Find_Tree_Node(pi_tree_id,                              'CLINIC VISITS',                         FTREE.FIND_NEXT,                         FTREE.NODE_LABEL,                         FTREE.ROOT_NODE,                         FTREE.ROOT_NODE);
lv_node_value:='G' || to_char(pi_seq);
if :GLOBAL.ACTION_INDICATOR = 'INSERT' then
          lv_return_value:=FTREE.Add_Tree_Node(pi_tree_id,                    lv_search_node,                         FTREE.PARENT_OFFSET,                          1,                                    FTREE.LEAF_NODE,                          pi_date,                                   NULL,                                    lv_node_value);
else
          lv_return_value:=FTREE.Add_Tree_Node(pi_tree_id,                              lv_search_node,                          FTREE.PARENT_OFFSET,                          FTREE.LAST_CHILD,                          FTREE.LEAF_NODE,                          pi_date,                                   NULL,                                    lv_node_value);

Lbuilder created characterset not showing in web runtime of 10g oracle form

I have a case wherein database characterset is AR8ISO8859P6. Legacy system was form 3 application working from 7.3 database. In the legacy database there are some characters e.g. CHR(247) till CHR(250) which are being depicted as special character. Recently we migrated the database to 10g and forms to 10g Forms on Windows. On Windows we have set characterset as AR8MSWIN1256. Database characterset we still retained it to AR8ISO8859P6. The forms are showing all characters correctly except the 4 characters mentioned earlier i.e. CHR(247) to CHR(250) it all comes as reverse ?. Tried using lbuilder and define new characterset using AR8MSWIN1256 as the base characterset. After creating NLB files with the changes required, replaced NLS_LANG registry entry for AS to point to this new characterset still for the 4 characters the value is shown as reverse ?. Tried to change ReplaceCharacter in lbuilder to space character to make sure it works and used this new NLB this time instead of reverse ? it shows space for all 4 characters in SQLPlus what could be the problem
Steps taken for nlb creation was
1. Open existing object i.e. AR8MSWIN1256
2. Modified characterset name and also character set ID as per oracle recommended standards
3. Went into 'Character data' tab. For the 4 characters i.e. 0xF7 to 0xFA put glyph and specified unicode values \ufef5 for 0xF7.
4. Went into classification tab and classified 4 characters as LETTER
5. Generated NLB. Replaced boot and copied NLB to nls\data
6 Modified NLS_LANG entry for the AS
Problem still persists. Please give suggestion whether the creation and usage of NLB was correct. Since its 10g web based forms so the NLB files (boot lx1boot.nlb and newly created nlb) was placed in the AS's nls\data folder

The forum for Globalization Support (NLS) issues is:
Globalization Support
Database characterset we still retained it to AR8ISO8859P6Note that some of the characters from win-1256 and at least ten arabic letters are not defined in ISO 8859-6. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-6 (- compare to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/cc305149)
Likely you risk data loss by using this database character set (for Arabic windows clients).

Unable to close web form.

Here is a typical 11g forms development session for me.
1. Create/modify a form using Forms builder on my PC.
2. Transfer the form to the Solaris box.
3. Compile the form.
4. Open the form on my web browser.
5. With the form still open, repeat steps 1-4.
I have done it this way for years using 10g but 11g frequently freezes the form displayed on the web.
I have to kill the browser and start all over.
If I close the form on the web first, there is rarely a problem.
Also, when a newly compiled form is run on the web for the first time, the canvas colors are all white !
I can close and re-open the form with no other side effects.
Do you think this may be a Java setting issue or what ?
Thanks for your interest.
Mike

Mike,
I have done it this way for years using 10g but 11g frequently freezes the form displayed on the web.I have to kill the browser and start all over.>
Curious; I have always not done it this way! :) In my experience, and I've been working Oracle Forms for a lot of years, I have found that it is a "Best Practise" to always close an instance of a Forms Runtime rather than try to refresh a newly compiled version of a Form in the Forms Runtime instance. In cases where you don't do this, your browser session typically dies (4 out of 5 times) and you have to kill the browser session completely and start over. I've followed this method since my early days developing with Forms 4.5. In the rare instances where your Forms session doesn't freeze - often times the browser simply displays the same edition of the Form and not the new compiled edition.
Do you think this may be a Java setting issue or what ?No, I think it is simply a case of the Object is already in use and trying to refresh the instance of the object with a newly compiled Form locks the object rather than refreshes the object. This was true with the old client installed Forms Runtime and I have found this to be true with the new Web Forms Runtime.
All of this is based on my personal observation and experience, so this is just my opinion. Perhaps someone from Oracle (like Michael Ferrante) could elaborate on this. :)

Slow response on Windows 2003 with web forms

We are current running Oracle web forms on thin clients on Windows 2000 terminal server. We have installed Windows 2003 on one node of the cluster. When we run the same application on 2003, it is very slow and the screen flashes a lot. It takes 1-2 seconds to echo a keystroke. This is true for Jinitiator 1.3.1.25 and 1.3.1.18. We are using 1.3.1.18 on the Win 2000 terminal server. When I try form=test on Win 2003, the screen has colors and has poorer resolution that running the same on Win2003. The form has a grey background on Win 2000 but is magenta in Win 2003 and you can barely make out the hammer in the prompt. This happens when running from the same thin client with the same resolution and colors. Is there a setting on IE that could be causing this? Is there a problem with Win 2003? The Oracle application server is 9iAS but we see the same probelm with 10g.
Thanks,
Dave

Copying my response from this thread:
Report in Designer fast, in Viewer extremely slow
Thread is now locked.
A "cool" issue, form my perspective as this may be something new to think about / figure out. Not so cool from where you sit...
Anyhow, a few things to check:
1) Compare the runtime of your dev system and the Citrix system. Use Modules to do the comparison.
2) Not sure what runtime was installed, but the most recent MSI / MSM are from SP 1.4:
MSI
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100004610752009E/cr2008_fp14_ri.zip
MSM
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100004610922009E/cr2008_fp14_mm.zip
Trying the FP 1.4 runtime will be worth a shot.
3) How is the performance on the Citrix when you actually sit right on the server, and not on a work station?
4) Where is the slow down occurring (unfortunately this will require a bit of temporary code modification)? But the bottle necks typically are at:
-report load
- connection to the data source
- setting of parameters
- actual report output, be it to a viewer, export or printer.
I suggest a possible way of tackling this in the performance article (page 4):

Oracle UCM 11G missing Web Form Editor

Hello All,
Oracle 10G UCM provided a WebForm Editor. After installation of newer version Oracle UCM 11G we found the feature is missing.
Is there a substitute provided by Oracle in 11G version for the same?
We need to provide functionality to end users where they could go and create some forms on their own. We were thinking to use Web-Form Editor for the same, but to our surprise we found the feature is missing.
Can anyone suggest if we are missing something. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Kent,
You're correct that the general UCM docs don't include that detail, but the FormEditor component readme.txt does include that info. I didn't open the readme.doc, but the readme says that there's more info in there.
From the component readme:
<snip>
Updated 2010-02-16
The HTML editor UI is now only enabled if the configuration parameter HasWebFormEditorUI is set
to true. See BUG 9218712
</snip>
Thanks,

Passing Parameter from URL to Web Forms - Oracle 10 Application Server

Hi All -
I want to pass parameter from a URL to 10g Oracle Web Forms - Oracle Application Server 10.1.2
http://server1/forms/frmservlet?config=SATWEB_SSO&otherparams=username_sso=BABUS
How to receive this 'username_sso' value inside my forms application ?
Created a Parameter in the same name as URL parameter 'username_sso' in forms but didn't receive the value. I want to know how to receive the value of this parameter within forms from URL.
Thanks - Suresh

Try this,
1. Create a parameter in the formsweb.cfg (say username_sso) under default section ( or you can create it in your own config section)
2. Add the username_sso in otherparams parameter as username_sso=%username_sso%
3. Add this username_sso parameter in your form.
4. Run the form as
http://<machine>:<port>.....?form=blahblah....&otherparams=username_sso=scott

Form & reports 10g VS Form & reports 6 ???

Hi All,
We have customers that running Form & reports 10g application and they (must) use IAS 10g for deployment.
But now they are considering to downgrade to Form & Reports 6 (client-server). So they put the Form & Reports to a folder on a server and map the folder to the clients.
Actually what are the benefits of running Form and Reports 10g on IAS and Browser compared to running Form & Reports 6 on client server mode ?
Thank you very much,
xto

Hi Xto,
If you use Forms 10g in web mode, thin clinets can be used and hardware cost can be reduced. Only you need to have good application server.
And you can access the application from browser and no need of installation/setup in client machiens. so maintanance cost also can be reduced.
These are some of benefits while running in web mode.

Unable to run the form from Form Builder 10g

HI,
I am having a problem with running a form with form builder 10g.
I have create a form with some text boxes to display values in a table.
When i compile and run the form it does not run The error shown is
HTTP 403(Forbidden) You are not authorised to view this page.
The Link used for the above is:
http://127.0.0.1:1740/sWuCqhMKUT1btA1N5cXLCRshkJzmgKRIlCEUFd9RL520LVq0
The port number 1740 changes everytime. I dont know why.
I have started the OC4J instance before starting the Form Builder.
I have made the changes to the runtime preferences in the form builder.
http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet
But it doesn't work when i try to run the form from Form Builder.
ie Program-->Run Form
The form works properly when using the 'Run a form on the Web Utility' provided with Developer Suite.
Can anyone please suggest a solution. I have searched the forum but didnot find a solution.
Thanks
V.S.

One of our DBAs has installed the software.
It was a default installation, I believe, as no configuration was done during the installation except for increasing the virtual memory size.
Post installation we changed the tnsnames.ora file and the sqlnet.ora file.
Do i need to configure something ?
Thanks,

6i forms on 10g

I have a application developed with forms 6i and working on oracle 9i. we wish to migrate to 10g database. Are thr any issues can we migrate.

I'm sorry, but your scenario is not very clear to me. Are you trying to use a 10g DB with Forms 6i ? If so, what is the remote 8.1.6.3 DB ?
Will patch 17 help ?It should.
So, did it work for you ?.
It worked, it was patch 13, but it was just a try, I didn't even try to recompile forms. In production environments we don't have customers with Client/Server and 10g DB, only 8i and 9i. With 10g DB we only use Web forms 9i and 10g.

Designer pl/sql web forms - 11g compatibility

Quick question for all...
Has anyone attempted or encountered problems when generating Designer pl/sql web forms into 11g database?
thanks!

All my Web PL/SQL generator stuff is in 10g R2. I did have to make sure that I ran the Web PL/SQL installer to make sure I had the latest versions of the WSGL package and its companions.
Why? Are you having a problem?
