Oracle forms of many developers development environment

I installed oracle 11 g 2 forms and weblogic on linux. I am able to test and run a form on it successfully.

Now we intend to use it for many developers. My idea is that we should use the existing server weblogic as deployment for all forms of all developers.

However to provide the forms of development etc generator, complete installation of weblogic and oracle forms server should be installed on every developer but this facility will be in development mode. Secondly, each form must be copied into the path of forms and form file cannot be deployed on weblogic as ear file online.

My questions are

form 1 - can can be deployed on weblogic server as ear/war file online?

2 is that each developer will need to install the server weblogic and oracle forms 11 g r2 in mode of development on his pc? or they can share a single server of remote forms generator.

There are several ways to answer your questions.  It would be as part of what could be "technically" and the other would be in the context of the license product allows you to do.

Let's start by answering your questions directly:

form 1 - can can be deployed on weblogic server as ear/war file online?

No.  Forms applications are not the java (J2EE) applications.  That said, for the necessary files (fmb, mmb, pll) to a remote machine and prepare to be executable should be easy enough for most organizations.  Just let it drop the files to the correct location, compile and run.  Files can be moved to the server using ftp, shared, etc. drive.  You can even write your own application (for example, servlet) to help make this easier.  You can also create a forms (active WebUtil) application to help move the files on the local computer to the server computer.

2 is that each developer will need to install the server weblogic and oracle forms 11 g r2 in mode of development on his pc? or they can share a single server of remote forms generator.

In order to be in a "supported" configuration, each user intend to use the forms/States builders (IDE) must have a local copy on their computer and use it on the local computer.  Running the builders from a location remote only is not supported.  Refer to the Note MOS 68047.1 for more details.  This does not mean that the remote access will not work.  This simply means that Oracle Support cannot help you if problems occur with such a use of the product.

Regarding the WLS installation part, a remote server can technically be used, but you always need to install on the computer where the builders.

So, this brings me to the authorization of the present part.

The license Developer Suite, which is required to use the manufacturers, is scheduled for local installation and local use of the product.  It is not intended to be used by remote users.  This would apply to both the tools and the runtime environment (server).  If you have one license deployment (e.g. Services forms/States, iAS-EE or WLS Suite) then you can develop your application (assuming that you also have an ID license) with your local builders, then back to application modules resulting remote installation of WLS (forms/reports and Services) in order to run/test the application.

From a technical point of view, to use the 'Run the form' button in the report designer to access a remote deployment environment, simply change the value "Application Server URL" in the Runtime tab in the preferences.  As mentioned, it will be up to you to determine how you want to move the modules (fmb, mmb, pll) on the target computer and compile them.  Now when you press the button run the form, the form will run on the remote server.

  • Oracle Forms 11g - OFA - ADF Developer?

    also what to choose regardless of what I have in mind.

    Hassan Siddique

    (1) I guess there not available for OFA certification. However there is available land (Oracle University)

    (2) well, for that you need first to decide. you want to stay with forms and develop in sql, PL/SQL (learn more about the DB), then forms is the way to go. If you enjoy working with java and develop J2EE applications, you should work with ADF. OAF I don't know much about it other that it's built on an older version of the ADF, but is more suitable for E Business Suite (it has not used both in the open community).

  • Oracle Forms URL not accessible outside the server

    Dear all,

    I am facing problems of access to the URL of Forms under Oracle Forms 11 g when you access from the server.

    Intended to test, I created a new Oracle Forms on a VMWare Server environment.

    Details on my environment

    Windows 2008 R2 64-bit Server

    Oracle Web Logic Server 11g R1 64-bit

    Oracle 11 g R2 64-bit forms and reports

    Oracle Database 11 g R2 64 bit

    Virtual machine network connection works fine. I am able to Remote Desktop, sqlplus and access the Admin of WebLogic Console (port 7002) from my local system.

    But when connecting to the URL of the form it does not connect. It gives me the following error. Forms URL works fine when accessing the server.

    It seems you're connected to the Internet, but you might want to try to reconnect to the Internet.


    By using the following URL format to access the Forms http://formsserver:7007/forms/frmservlet? config = < appname >


    Please let me know if anyone has the solution.

    Thank you

    Be careful when you make changes.  If you are not familiar with the operation of the listeners, you can easily make a problem worse.  Assuming that you have installed using the "Deployment" installation option, the default non - ssl ports must be as follows:

    OSH - 8888

    Server administration WLS - 7001

    WLS_FORM - 9001

    WLS_REPORTS - 9002

    Once configured correctly, calling the forms or reports occurs through the same port of OSH.  Thus, for example:

    http://server:8888/forms/frmservlet ...

    http://server:8888/reports/rwservlet ...

    For a development environment independent (assuming that's what you try to do) you don't need RCU, or OID or SSO, something like that.

  • Use of the JRE instead of JInitiator causes problems of development of mouse for Oracle Forms

    Hi all

    We run Oracle Forms application based using JRE instead of JInititor.

    (1) the application is run on an individual laptop with Windows XP SP3 as an operating system.
    (2) with the help of oc4j of Oracle Developer Suite 10.2.0.1.0 to run the application
    (3) JInititor is more used and JRE version 1.6.0_26 or JRE version 1.6.0_27 used to launch the application. It works very well.
    (4) the browsers used to access the applicarion are IE8 and Mozilla Firefox 8.0.1

    Questions:
    (1) cannot have the focus of the mouse on an item. Even when the cursor seems to be in another element, for example after ctrl + E, point B article content watch editor has (which is the first on the form).
    (2) the LOV on any item shows what brings the LOV on section (first one on the form).
    (3) we are forced to use the keyboard to access the respective item all the time.

    Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?

  • Oracle forms version control system

    Hello

    Which tool is best Version and difference, audit reports and Oracle Forms.

    My environment is

    OS = Redhat 5.9

    Database = 10.2.0.1

    Developer = 6i patch 17

    Thanks in advance

    I'm used to subversion, but this does not mean that it is the right tool for you. GIT is a distributed version control system that provides the ability to create local chapters that sometimes miss me in subversion, for example when I do a greater research who needs significant changes to code.

    At the end of the day, you read about the characteristics of some version control systems, to play and see if it fits your needs. At least that's what I did 7 years ago when we checked the subversion.

    For example, take a look here:

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_revision_control_software

    Don't be overwhelmed by the amount of VCS out there. That's just my opinion, but the free Source Open (like subversion or GIT) VCS are at least as powerful as their commercial counterparts (of not more powerful), so I will abstain to scrutinize sales.

    What is diff/merge is in a team of 4 developers I guess having to resolve conflicts is rather rare?

    There are a few possibilities but to compare changes:

    -convert your forms to XML format and compare with a plain vanilla diff viewer: conversion of an Oracle Forms Application

    -convert the pll files in text format gross LDP with rwconverter and compare with a spectator ordinary vanilla diff

    -use a commercial tool like FormsTool - ORCL Toolbox

    I don't know, maybe there are other tools of differentiation/fusion available as well, but that's what we use (Forms tool in collaboration with rwconverter to merge pll files, as this does not well in the forms tool but not the fault of the tool itself, but on the API, it based on...)

  • Development environment for 10g R2

    Guys,
    I need to set up a development environment for the development of forms of oracle 10g r2. I am a new on oracle and because of the downsizing, we lost our DBAs so I'm on my own and need your huge support...

    Current settings: Oracle on the server: Oracle 10 g R2
    My local client installation: 10.1.0.4.2
    Suite Developer downloaded oracle of oracle: Oracle Forms: 10.1.2.0.2 (Developer suite 10.1.2.0.2)

    * Is it a decent development environment? or any incompatibility do you see that? *

    Second, I have heard different things on the development environment and would like to your comments as well:

    * Can I develop application forms in my own office, OC4j connecting my local machine (supplied with the suite) developer to run and develop forms? or what I need to put it on the server where oracle is installed? *

    * Fact to our oracle server needs any of application (weblogic) Server installed or simply OC4j can run on the server to run the production of forms? *


    Please help me to resolve my confusion so I can introduce the development environment for my management...

    Thank you very much...

    I just want to confirm one last thing... for purposes of development, I need not oracle application server to develop and test shapes on my local office OC4J and oracle connection is sufficient.

    Yes, developers just subsequently installed developer.

    But for testing (as I am the only developer) and the final production it has to work on oracle application server?

    The production, to use an Oracle application server (its also a matter of license). To be sure, confirm it by your Contact of Oracle.

    For the test, it depends... You have not necessary need to use an OAS, but if you do not, you do not test in "conditions of production.

  • Hi I am new to Oracle forms and reports I want to know the differences between the Enter query mode and Normal mode?

    Hi I am new to Oracle forms and reports I want to know the differences between the Enter query mode and Normal mode?

    Welcome to Oracle Forms!  Out of curiosity, what do you mean by 'new '?  You are a student or new to an organization that uses Oracle Forms?  Or just play with Oracle Forms to learn something new?

    Let me start by saying that many of your questions designtime can answer by searching in the help of the constructor of the form library.  It's accessible, like most of the other products in the Builder menu > help.

    Regarding your question, ENTER QUERY mode, as the term implies, is when it is in a State where it is accept input for the execution of a query.  When in this mode, there are various restrictions.  Yet once, it will find more details in the Builder Help.  In this case, search help for these two subjects, "SYSTEM." MODE'and "built-ins comments that are not allowed in the input query Mode".  There are many other pages that contain information about the ENTER_QUERY method, but these two should help you get started.

    Normal mode, as its name implies, is when it is in a State of 'normal '.  Basically to do nothing in particular, but also not in ENTER QUERY mode.  In this State, you can move the shape, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, documents, etc..

    You will find additional information, as well as a lot of documentation on the product page of forms of OTN:

    Suresh,
    Which edition of Windows 7 32-bit (etc. Professional, Home, Home Premium)? If you use a home edition - good luck to do this work. The necessary minimum edition is the professional edition. Just any editions have all necessary components of networking needed.

    If you use a professional edition or higher, then there are a few preparations you must do to make it work. They are:
    1. you must install the application as an administrator.
    2. you "run" the application as an administrator. The best thing to do is to find the Oracle executable and then right-click and select Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab, and then click "Run this program as an administrator." Windows 7 automatically runs applications like 'Standard user' - even if you have the privilege of administrator assigned to your account. This is part of the feature Universal Account Control (UAC) in Windows 7.
    3. you must install and use a compatible Java Runtime (JRE) (JRE 1.6.0 - No 1.7.0). Oracle Forms 10 g Release 2 (version 10.1.2.x.x) defautls to the use of the Oracle Jinitiator. However, Jinitiator is no longer compatible with Windows 7 and modern browsers or supported. Keep in mind that Jinitiator was to IE 6 so you cannot expect this JRE to work with modern browsers.
    4. change the formsweb.cfg to use JRE 1.6.0. Change the following lines:

    #baseHTMLjinitiator=basejini.htm
    baseHTMLjinitiator=basejpi.htm
    #jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-0006-ABCDEFFEDCBA
    jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0034-ABCDEFFEDCBA
    #jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_06
    jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_34
    

    5. Finally, in order to run a form from the forms Builder, you must start the OC4J container. To do this, go to start-all programs-online Oracle Developer Suite - online DevSuiteHome-Online Forms Developer => start an OC4J Instance.
    The OC4J Instance emulates an application server which is required for Forms 10g Runtime.

    The changes described above assumes that you have installed the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.6.0_34. If you have a lower version, make sure you change the "34" to the installed version.

    This is the minimum of changes necessary to make forms work on Windows 7 32 bit. It is strongly recommended that you apply the last group of patches (patches 3 Group) for forms bring your 10.1.2.0.0 version 10.1.2.3.0, but you will need a contract with Oracle support to obtain the fix.

    As for your question,

    One last thing, I've observed is the Oracle Services in the Control Panel control Panel\All Items\Administrative Tools\Services. I don't see any running services related to Oracle, in my system (do not even have a linked oracle service at this location).

    What other Oracle products you have installed? If just Oracle Forms, then you will have no service.

  • Did someone from Oracle Forms to APEX

    Curious of APEX and if anyone out there has successfully migrated to oracle forms apex?

    Thank you
    Jim

    To answer your question from forms to APEX vs go to Java:

    Forms and APEX use PL/SQL as underlying coding language.
    This means a very small learning curve for developers of forms, where to spend in Java is a learning curve that is massive if you do not already have the skills.

    Code reuse must also compare.
    The APEX forms conversion utilities produce pages of the APEX forms-based and can work well for you.
    The APEX team say utilities give you an advance on the conversion, but additional work is needed.
    Similar products for the forms to Java applications on the market.

    My point of view on such tools is your duty generally better rewrite the application from scratch.
    Your use of a different technology with different requirements of the user interface and is also interesting update to use the features available today.
    Of course, this can be cost-prohibitive.

    What features of the user interface, you can do much more in APEX or Java forms because you have much more control over the output.
    If you wanted to match the function for the feature with the shapes, you may need to do a little extra work.
    APEX 4 presents the Plugins, allowing you to develop your own custom components if necessary.

    Ultimately, the question on migrating to Java or APEX boils down to the strategic direction for your company and your developers skills.

    For me the forms to APEX was extremely easy, APEX felt immediately familiar.
