1 Introduction to Oracle Forms Services
server. For more information on Oracle WebLogic Server, refer to Oracle Fusion
Middleware Introduction to Oracle WebLogic Server.
In the deployment mode, during configuration, a managed server for Forms is created
(WLS_FORMS). For more information on WLS_FORMS, refer to Section 5.1, "About
the Oracle WebLogic Managed Server."
Note: The Forms Listener servlet is configured for you during the
Oracle Fusion Middleware installation process.

Section 2.8, "guiMode Configuration Parameter"
For the list of new features in Oracle Forms Services 11g Release 1, see "What's New in
Oracle Forms Services" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Forms Services Deployment Guide.
This chapter describes how Forms Services run in Oracle Fusion Middleware, and
describes the steps to deploy Forms applications. This chapter also describes the basic
configuration files. After installation is completed, you can use the information in this
chapter to change your initial configuration or make modifications as your needs
change.
This chapter contains the following sections:
Section 3.1, "Oracle Forms Services in Action"
Section 3.2, "Configuration Files"
Section 3.3, "Application Deployment"
Section 3.4, "Client Browser Support"
4. The Forms servlet running on the Oracle WebLogic Managed Server processes the
request. The Forms servlet:
Opens the servlet configuration file (formsweb.cfg by default), which is
located in $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_
FORMS/applications/formsapp_11.1.2/config.
Determines which configuration section to use in the formsweb.cfg file. In
this example, the URL contains the query parameter config=myapp,
therefore, the [myapp] section is used.
Determines which baseHTML file to use, based on (a) what browser
(user-agent) made the request, (b) what platform the browser is running on,
and (c) the settings of various parameters in the formsweb.cfg file
(specifically, basejpi.htm, and base.htm).
Reads the baseHTML file, and returns the contents as an HTML page to the
user's Web browser, after performing variable substitutions as follows:
Whenever a variable (like %myParam%) is encountered, the Forms servlet looks
for a matching URL query parameter (for example, &myParam=xxx), or,
failing that, looks for a matching parameter in the formsweb.cfg file. If a
matching parameter is found, the variable (%myParam%) is replaced with the
parameter value.
In this example, the baseHTML file contains the text %form%. This is replaced
with the value "hrapp".
5. Depending on which baseHTML file the Forms servlet selected, the HTML page
returned to the Web browser contains an applet, object or embed tag to start the
Forms applet (thin client). The Forms client runs in the JVM environment
provided by Oracle Java plug-in.
6. In order to start the Forms applet, its Java code must first be loaded. The location
of the applet is specified by the applet codebase and archive parameters.
The virtual path definition in the weblogic.xml file for /forms/java allows
the applet code to be loaded from the Web server.
Note: The Forms applet code is only loaded over the network the first time the
user runs an Oracle Forms Services application or if a newer version of Oracle
Forms Services is installed on the Web server. Otherwise, it is loaded from the
cache of the Java plug-in on the local disk.
7. Once the Oracle Forms Services applet is running, it starts a Forms session by
contacting the Forms Listener servlet at URL
http://example.com:8888/forms/lservlet.
8. The Oracle HTTP Server listener receives the request. It forwards the request to
Oracle WebLogic Managed Server, since the path /forms/lservlet matches a
servlet mapping in the web.xml file (the one for the Forms Listener servlet).
9. The Forms Listener servlet (lservlet) starts a Forms run-time process
(frmweb.exe or frmweb) for the Forms session.
10. Communication continues between the Forms applet and the Forms run-time
process, through the Listener Servlet, until the Forms session ends.
11. The attribute value in a URL (such as the name of the form to run) is passed to the
Forms run-time process. Part of the serverArgs value in the baseHTML file is
%form%, which is replaced by "hrapp". Therefore, the run-time process runs the
form in the file "hrapp.fmx".
This file must be present in any of the directories named in the FORMS_PATH
environment setting, which is defined in the environment file (default.env by
default). You can also specify the directory in formsweb.cfg (for example,
form=c:\<path>\myform).
12. The Forms sessions end when either of the following occurs:
The top-level form is exited (for example, by the PL/SQL trigger code which
calls the "exit_form" built-in function). The user is prompted to save changes if
there are unsaved changes. exit_form(no_validate) exits the form
without prompting.
If the user quits the Web browser, any pending updates are lost.
3.2.1.1 default.env
Location: $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/<MANAGED_
SERVER>/applications/<appname>_<appversion>/config
3.2.1.2 formsweb.cfg
Location: $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/<MANAGED_
SERVER>/applications/<appname>_<appversion>/config
Typically, this location is $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_
FORMS/applications/formsapp_11.1.2/config
This Forms configuration file contains the following:
Values for Forms run-time command line parameters, and the name of the
environment file to use (envFile setting).
Most of the servlet configuration parameter settings that you set during
installation. You can modify these parameters, if needed.
Variables (%variablename%) in the base.htm file are replaced with the appropriate
parameter values specified in the formsweb.cfg file and from query parameters in
the URL request (if any).
For a sample formsweb.cfg file, see Appendix C.2, "Default formsweb.cfg."
For more information about formsweb.cfg, see Chapter 4.2.2, "Configuring
Parameters with Fusion Middleware Control."
3.2.1.3 ftrace.cfg
Location: $ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/FormsComponent/forms/server
This file is used to configure Forms Trace. Forms Trace replaces the functionality that
was provided with Forms Runtime Diagnostics (FRD) and Performance Event
Collection Services (PECS), which were available in earlier releases of Oracle Forms.
Forms Trace traces the execution path through a form (for example, steps the user took
while using the form).
For more information about ftrace.cfg, see Chapter 12, "Tracing and Diagnostics."
./META-INF/application.xml
./META-INF/jazn-data.xml
./META-INF/jps-config.xml
./META-INF/mbeans.xml
./META-INF/weblogic-application.xml
Deployment descriptors:
application.xml and weblogic-application.xml define the structure of
the EAR file.
web.xml defines the aliases frmservlet and lservlet for the Forms servlet
and the Forms Listener servlet.
weblogic.xml defines the context parameters and any user defined virtual
directory mappings.
For a sample web.xml file, see Appendix C.5, "web.xml."
3. Make sure that any directories referenced in user-added directives are accessible
on the OHS tier.
4. Restart OHS instance on the OHS tier.
Oracle recommends that you make configuration changes in the formsweb.cfg file
using Enterprise Manager and avoid editing these files. To change the baseHTML files,
create your own versions and reference them from the formsweb.cfg file by
changing the appropriate settings.
For a sample baseHTML file, see Appendix C.4, "base.htm and basejpi.htm Files."
Note:
Fusion Middleware through a specified URL. The URL then accesses the HTTP
Listener, which communicates with the Listener Servlet. The Listener Servlet starts a
Forms run-time process (frmweb.exe on Windows or frmweb on UNIX and Linux)
for each Forms Services session.
For more information about how Forms Services run, see Section 3.1, "Oracle Forms
Services in Action."
3. Make sure the .fmx file location is specified in the FORMS_PATH environment
variable.
For example, in Windows, if your .fmx file is located in d:\my_
files\applications, in the FORMS_PATH, include d:\my_
files\applications. On Windows, use semi-colons to separate directory
locations if specifying multiple locations. On UNIX/Linux, use colons for
separators. Specify this information in the Environment Configuration page for
the environment file.
4. To modify an environment file, select the file in the Environment Configuration
page of Fusion Middleware Control and add or edit environment variables as
needed by your application. For example, you can add the environment variable
shown in Table 32.
You can use the ampersand (&) to call a combination of a form and named
configuration parameters. In the above example, you are calling the form "hrapp"
with the parameter settings you specified in "my_application".
It is also permissible to escape other 7-bit ASCII characters in the value portion of a
name=value pair.
Here's an example of what the serverArgs applet parameter might look like in static
HTML. This is for a form named "my form" (quotes not included), which is being
passed the value "foo'bar" (quotes again not included) to the user-defined parameter

3.4.1 How Configuration Parameters and BaseHTML Files are Tied to Client Browsers
When a user starts a Web-enabled application (by clicking a link to the application's
URL), the Forms servlet:
1. Detects which browser is being used.
2. Selects the appropriate baseHTML file using Table 35:
Note: The guiMode value takes effect for menubars only when the
Forms menu module parameter is set to null. If the Form has any
other server specified menubar (including the Forms default menu) or
toolbar associated with it, then this parameter is not applicable. In
case of window-bars, this parameter is applicable even if there is a
menu specified for that form in the Forms Builder.
The visibility of the title bars of all the windows in a Form. This parameter does
not affect title bars in windows like - alert windows, pop-up windows.
Table 36 shows the effect of guiMode values on the default Windows menubar and
Windows title bar. The default guiMode value is 0. Any value other than the four
valid values mentioned in the table, will be ignored. In such a case, guiMode will
return to its default value.
3. The Forms Home page provides information on the Forms applications that are
deployed on the Oracle instance. Table 41 describes the information displayed on
the Forms Home page.
Note: For the pages that include a Help icon, click the Help icon to
access the page-level help. The page-level help describes each element
in the page.
4. See Table 43 and Table 44 for the tasks that you can do.
Table 44 describes the tasks that you can do to modify the parameters within a named
configuration section:
All of these parameters specify file names. If no paths are given (as in this example),
the files are assumed to be in the same directory as the Forms servlet configuration file
(formsweb.cfg), that is $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_
FORMS/applications/formsapp_11.1.2/config
Note: The name must not contain any special characters such as #, *.
Your users would type the following URL to launch a form that uses the "sepwin" (or
the name you applied) configuration:
http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=sepwin
Note: You can make a backup of the configuration section you are
about to edit by duplicating it first. For more information, see
Section 4.2.3.3, "Duplicating a Named Configuration"
Oracle Enterprise Manager returns to the Web Configuration page and displays
the remaining configurations.

parameter. A value of true (default) enables new user sessions, whereas false
disables them.
5. Click Apply to save the changes.
1. Select the link to the Forms Services instance that has the user session to be
terminated.
2. From the Forms menu, select User Sessions.
3. Click the row of the user session to be deleted.
4. Click Stop.
5. The Confirmation dialog is displayed.
6. Click Yes.
The user session is deleted and the Runform instance is terminated.
3. Table 416, Table 417, and Table 418 describe the information displayed in the
Database Sessions page.
Table 418 (Cont.) Execution Plan for the Selected Database Session
Field Description
Object Type Type of the object.
ID A number assigned to each step in the execution plan.
Parent ID ID of the next execution step that operates on the output of the
current step.
Depth Depth (or level) of the operation in the tree. It is not necessary to
issue a CONNECT BY statement to get the level information,
which is generally used to indent the rows from the PLAN_
TABLE table. The root operation (statement) is level 0.
Position Order of processing for all operations that have the same
PARENT_ID.
Rows Estimate, by the cost-based optimizer, of the number of rows
produced by the operation.
Size (KB) Estimate, by the cost-based optimizer, of the number of bytes
produced by the operation.
Cost Cost of the operation as estimated by the optimizer's cost-based
approach. For statements that use the rule-based approach, this
column is null.
Time (sec) Elapsed time (in seconds) of the operation as estimated by the
optimizer's cost-based approach. For statements that use the
rule-based approach, this column is null.
CPU Cost CPU cost of the operation as estimated by the optimizer's
cost-based approach. For statements that use the rule-based
approach, this column is null.
I/O Cost I/O cost of the operation as estimated by the optimizer's
cost-based approach. For statements that use the rule-based
approach, this column is null.
baseHTMLjpi=basejpi.htm
These parameters are templates for the HTML information that are sent to the client.
Create an informational HTML page and have these variables point to that instead.
For example, in the $ORACLE_
INSTANCE/config/FormsComponent/forms/server directory, create a simple
HTML page called forbidden.html with the following content:
<html>
<head>
<title>Forbidden</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Forbidden!</h1>
<h2>You may not access this Forms application.</h2>
</body>
</html>
If you do not specify these base HTML values, and when a user runs
an application, the forbidden.html page is displayed because the
application-specific configuration section has not overridden the
default values.
Note: To modify the cursor blink rate, or disable blinking, set the
client parameter cursorBlinkRate as follows.
<PARAM NAME="cursorBlinkRate" VALUE="1000">
The default is 600 milliseconds: the cursor completes one full blink
every 1.2 seconds (1200 ms).
A value of zero disables the blinking and the cursor remains visible all
the time.
2. From the Forms menu list, select Font and Icon Mapping.
The Font and Icon Mapping page (Figure 48) is displayed.
2. From the Forms menu list, select Font and Icon Mapping.
3. Select the row containing the parameter to modify and change the value(s) for it in
the Value text field.
4. Click Apply to save the changes.
2. Click Add.
The Add dialog appears.
3. Enter the name, value, and comments for this parameter.
4. Click Create.
5. Click Apply to save or Revert to discard the changes.
2. Select the row containing the parameter to delete and click Delete.
3. The parameter is deleted.
4. Click Apply to save or Revert to discard the changes.
2. From the Forms menu list, select Font and Icon Mapping.
3. Change any of the settings to reflect your desired font setting, based on Table 419:
For example, to change your default font to Times New Roman, replace Dialog
with Times New Roman.
You can change the default font face mappings:
default.fontMap.appFontnames=Courier New,Courier,
courier,System,Terminal,Fixed,Fixedsys,Times,Times New Roman,
MS Sans Serif,Arial
default.fontMap.javaFontnames=MonoSpaced,MonoSpaced,MonoSpaced,Dialog,
MonoSpaced,Dialog,Dialog,Serif,Serif,Dialog,SansSerif
you can change the default.icons.iconpath value of the Registry.dat file in the
$DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_
FORMS/applications/formsapp_
11.1.2/config/forms/registry/oracle/forms/registry directory.
Setting the imageBase parameter to codebase enables Oracle Forms to search the
forms/java directory for the icon files. Use this setting if your images are stored in a
Java archive file. Changing the image location in the Registry.dat configuration file is
useful to store images in a central location independent of any application and
independent of the Oracle Forms installation.
2. Click Delete.
3. The selected icon mapping is deleted.
4. Click Apply to save or Revert to discard the changes.
Note: Image formats for splash screens and icons are the standard
formats that are supported by java.awt.Image. For more
information on java.awt.Image, refer to the Java Advanced
Imaging (JAI) API at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html.
4.7.6.1 DocumentBase
The default search paths for icons and images are relative to the DocumentBase. In
this case, do not specify the imageBase parameter:
4.7.6.2 codebase
Use the imageBase=codebase parameter to enable the search of the icons
(Table 423) and images (Table 424) in a Jar file:
Services do not provide an integrated translation tool, you must have translated
application source files.
For more information about using baseHTML, see Appendix C.4, "base.htm and
basejpi.htm Files".
It is possible to pass this parameter directly within the URL. For example:
http://hostname:port/forms/frmservlet?Form=test.fmx&term=fullpat
h/filename.res
You can also set this parameter in the formsweb.cfg file, for example:
otherParams=term=fullpath\filename.res
A file called fmrpcweb.res has also been provided which gives the Microsoft
Windows client/server keyboard mappings. To use this file, rename fmrpcweb.res
to fmrweb_orig.res, and copy fmrpcweb.res to fmrweb.res. Alternatively, use
the term parameter as described above.
4.9.1.2.1 Mapping F2
To map F2, change the default entry for F2, "List Tab Pages", to another key. Here is an
example of the default entry:
113: 0 : "F2" : 95 : "List Tab Pages"
This must be explicitly changed to another key mapping such as the following:
113: 8 : "F2" : 95 : "List Tab Pages"
To map the F2 function to the F2 key, comment out the lines that begin with "113 : 0"
and "113 : 8" with a # symbol and add the following lines to the bottom of the resource
file:
113: 0 : "F2" : 84 : "Function 2"
113: 8 : " " : 95 : " "
Since a new function has been added which uses F2 by default, it is necessary to
explicitly map this new function to something else to map the F2 key. This function
was added to allow for keyboard navigation between the tab canvas pages and it
defaults to F2. Even if it is commented out and not assigned to F2, the F2 key cannot be
mapped unless this function, Forms Function Number 95, is mapped to another key.
This line should NOT fire the Key-Enter trigger since the Return or Enter key is
actually returning the Return function represented by the FFN of 27. The FFN of 75
represents the Enter function and fires the Key-Enter trigger.
49
3. Use this decimal value for mapping the number key 1 in fmrweb.res. For
example, CTRL+1 can be mapped to 'Next Record' as:
49 : 2 : "CTRL+1" : 67 : "Next Record"
The first number (115) might differ on different versions or platforms. When you
run the Web Form and press the ESC key, then the Form exits.
Using Oracle Forms Services with the HTTP Listener and Oracle WebLogic Server 5-1
Working with Forms Managed Server
The Forms Listener servlet establishes a runtime process and is responsible for
on-going communication between the client browser and the runtime process. As
more users request Oracle Forms sessions, the requests are received by the Oracle
HTTP Server Listener. The HTTP Listener again passes them off to the Forms Listener
servlet, which establishes more runtime processes. The Forms Listener servlet can
handle many Forms runtime sessions simultaneously. While there is, of course, a limit
to the number of concurrent users, the architecture presents a number of opportunities
for tuning and configuration to achieve better performance (see the next section).

5.2.1.2 Override the Default Servlet Alias and the Context Root
1. Extract the EAR file.
For example, on UNIX operating systems:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/customapp/j2ee
jar xvf formsapp.ear
On Windows operating systems:
cd %ORACLE_HOME%\customapp\j2ee
jar xvf formsapp.ear
2. Extract the WAR file.
For example, on UNIX operating systems:
mkdir -p $ORACLE_HOME/customapp/j2ee/warfile
cd $ORACLE_HOME/customapp/j2ee/warfile
jar xvf $ORACLE_HOME/customapp/j2ee/formsweb.war
On Windows operating systems:
mkdir %ORACLE_HOME%\customapp\j2ee\warfile
cd %ORACLE_HOME%\customapp\j2ee\warfile
jar xvf %ORACLE_HOME%\customapp\j2ee\formsweb.war
3. Override the servlet alias in web.xml deployment descriptor that is located in the
WEB-INF folder.
For example, on UNIX operating systems:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/customapp/j2ee/warfile/WEB-INF
On Windows operating systems:
cd %ORACLE_HOME%\customapp\j2ee\warfile\WEB-INF
Edit web.xml in an editor and replace frmservlet with customservlet (entries
under tags <Servlet-Name>, <url-pattern>, <welcome-file>).
4. Repackage the WAR file.
For example, on UNIX operating systems:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/customapp/j2ee/warfile
jar cvfM formsweb.war ./*
mv formsweb.war $ORACLE_HOME/customapp/j2ee/
On Windows operating systems:
cd %ORACLE_HOME%\customapp\j2ee\warfile
jar cvfM formsweb.war .\*
copy formsweb.war %ORACLE_HOME%\customapp\j2ee\
del formsweb.war
5. Override the application context root in application.xml deployment descriptor
that is located in the META-INF folder.
For example, on UNIX operating systems:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/customapp/j2ee/META-INF
On Windows operating systems:
cd %ORACLE_HOME%\customapp\j2ee\META-INF
Edit application.xml, change context-root to customapp.
6. Modify the codebase and serverURL entries in formsweb.cfg.
For example, on UNIX operating systems:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/customapp/j2ee/config
On Windows operating systems:
cd %ORACLE_HOME%\customapp\j2ee\config
Edit formsweb.cfg and change the context-root entries in serverURL and
codebase parameters.
For example,
Change serverURL=/forms/lservlet to
serverURL=/customapp/lservlet.
Change codebase from /forms/java to customapp/java.
7. Repackage the EAR file.

Using Oracle Forms Services with the HTTP Listener and Oracle WebLogic Server 5-19
Oracle Forms Services and SSL
detect whether the user has logged on (or been authenticated). The cookie is sent in all
subsequent network requests to avoid further logon prompts.
The codebase and server URL values that are set up by the Oracle WebLogic Server
installation process include $ORACLE_HOME/forms/java and /forms/lservlet.
As these are under the document base of the page ($ORACLE_HOME/forms),
authenticating proxies will work.
Note: When you change the Oracle Web Cache port using Enterprise
Manager, regenerate the osso.conf and copy the generated
osso.conf file to $ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OHS/<OHS_
INSTANCE>/moduleconf directory. Restart the Oracle HTTP Server
and Oracle Web Cache for the changes to take effect.
To enable SSL with your Forms applications over a load balancing router:
1. Start a Web browser and enter the Forms application HTTPS URL containing the
fully qualified host name (including port number if required) used by your own
Oracle installation. For example:
https://example.com:443/forms/frmservlet
The Security Alert dialog box is displayed.
2. Click View Certificate.
3. Click the Details tab in the Certificate dialog.
4. Click Copy to File...
5. In the Welcome page of the Certificate Export Wizard, click Next.
6. In the Export File Format page, select Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER), then click
Next.
7. Enter a file name such as c:\temp\forms, then click Next.
8. Click Finish.
A message appears saying that the export was successful.
9. Click OK.
10. Close the Certificate Export Wizard, but keep the Security Alert dialog open.
11. Import the security certificate file that you saved earlier into the certificate store of
the JVM you are using. For more information, see the next section.
12. At the Security Alert dialog, click Yes to accept the security certificate and start the
Forms application.
2. Open Java.
3. Navigate to Securities tab.
4. Click Certificate.
5. Import the certificate that was exported in the previous section.
6. Click Apply.

function set_field(field_id, myvalue){
document.getElementById(field_id).value=myvalue;
};
</SCRIPT>
To get the value of the outside field and assign it to the inside field, you could write
the following PL/SQL code:
:inside:=web.javascript_eval_function('
document.getElementById("outside_field_id").value
');
This PL/SQL code recognizes two events: 'show' and 'grab'. Any other name is
ignored.
7.1 Overview
Oracle Forms provides Java classes that define the appearance and behavior of
standard user interface components such as buttons, text areas, radio groups, list
items, and so on. A Forms pluggable Java component (PJC) can be thought of as an
extension of the default Forms client component. When you create a PJC, you write
your own Java code to extend the functionality of any of the provided default classes.
{
private static final ID CLIENT_SELECTED_FILE = ID.registerProperty("CLIENT_
SELECTED_FILE");
public MyButtonPJC()
{
addActionListener(this);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
{
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
if(fc.showOpenDialog(getHandler().getApplet()) == JFileChooser.APPROVE_
OPTION)
{
CustomEvent ce = new CustomEvent(getHandler(), "MyButtonPJC_Event");
ce.setProperty(CLIENT_SELECTED_FILE,
fc.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath());
this.dispatchCustomEvent(ce);
}
}
public void destroy()
{
removeActionListener(this);
super.destroy();
}
}
2. Ensure CLASSPATH variable is defined in the environment and $ORACLE_
HOME/forms/java/frmall.jar is added to it.
3. Compile the Java class. For ease of creating the jar later, place the output class files
in a separate directory by using the -d <output-directory> option of the
javac (java compiler).
4. Navigate to the output directory and create a jar file, for example,
MyButtonPJC.jar, containing the generated class files by using the command
jar cvf <jar-file-path> *
5. MyButtonPJC.jar needs to be signed before deploying in Forms applet. You can
use sign_webutil.sh (sign_webutil.bat in Windows) that is available in
the directory $ORACLE_INSTANCE\bin to sign the jar file. For more information,
see Forms Builder Online Help.
6. Copy MyButtonPJC.jar to $ORACLE_HOME/forms/java directory.
7. Add the path of MyButtonPJC.jar to the FORMS_BUILDER_CLASSPATH. This
makes the class files in that jar available in Forms Builder.
8. Add the push button on the layout in the Forms application.
9. In Property Palette of the push button, set MyButtonPJC as the implementation
class.
10. Add WHEN-CUSTOM-ITEM-EVENT trigger to the push button.
get_parameter_attr(:SYSTEM.CUSTOM_ITEM_EVENT_PARAMETERS,'CLIENT_SELECTED_
FILE',dataType, filePath);
Message('The selected client file path is '|| filePath);
end;
12. Add MyButtonPJC.jar to the list of comma-separated jars (only jar file name, not
the full path) in the archive parameter in Forms configuration file
(formsweb.cfg). This ensures that the jar file is loaded in Forms applet on the
client side.

up for execution by Forms and is executed when the server receives a request from
the client. Write the trigger code for the When-Event-Raised trigger that is
attached to the Event node.
Forms Services

Invoke the When-Event-Raised trigger upon event notification
In earlier versions of Forms, handling external events was only possible through
custom programming, usually done in Java with the help of Forms' Java Bean support.
In Oracle Forms 11g it is possible to call into Forms from any technology that can
interface with Advanced Queuing (AQ), for example Java Messaging (JMS).
Figure 81 shows the flow of events that take advantage of the improved integration of
the different components your application might work with. In the left side of the
image, the Oracle Forms has two-way communication with the AQ functionality of
Oracle Database. In the center of the image, the AQ function of Oracle Database also
has two-way communication with the possible outside events that can trigger internal
Forms events. In the right side of the image, these external events can include
technologies such as files with dynamic content, Web services, mail, JMS, or database
content that interact with BPEL processes which in turn interact with AQ. BPEL,
however, is not necessary. JMS, as an example, can interact with AQ directly without
having to go through BPEL.
Note: Third party tools such as antivirus and security software may
prevent Advanced Queuing from working correctly with Oracle
Forms. As a workaround, turn off any third party security tools.

for that event receive the notification. This alleviates the need for the application
developer to code complex logic to deal with the event.
There is also a Form-level scope so that the event will only be handled if the
application is running the specific form from where the event is defined.
For more information about database events, see Oracle Database PL / SQL Reference.
9.1 Overview
In addition to working with Oracle Single Sign-On Server 10g (OSSO), Oracle Forms
Services applications can now run in a Single Sign-on environment using Oracle
Access Manager 11g (OAM) and Oracle Internet Directory (OID) to eliminate the need
for additional or different logins to access many applications during the same user
session.
Oracle Forms Services applications in Oracle FMW 11g Release 2 can be protected by
one of the following authentication servers:
Oracle Access Manager (OAM) 11g
Oracle Single Sign-On Server (OSSO) 10g
During the installation of Forms and Reports 11g Release 2, users can choose to
authenticate their Forms Applications using one of these authentication servers. It is
required that these authentication servers are configured to use Oracle Internet
directory as the backend Identity Store. Authentication servers are designed to work in
Web environments where multiple Web-based applications are accessible from a
browser. Without an authentication server, each user must maintain a separate identity
and password for each application they access. Maintaining multiple accounts and
passwords for each user is unsecure and expensive.
Oracle Access Manager 11g is a Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE)-based
enterprise-level security application that provides restricted access to confidential
information and centralized authentication and authorization services. Oracle Access
Manager 11g, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, is a Single Sign-On
solution for authentication and authorization.
Oracle Internet Directory (OID) is an LDAP server that is used as the Identity
store by the authentication server and the Forms applications. An LDAP
server is a special database that is optimized for read access.
Forms Servlet - The Oracle Forms Services component that accepts the initial user
request to start a Forms application. The Forms servlet detects if an application
requires authentication, directs the request to the authentication server and
accesses the Oracle Internet Directory to obtain the database connect information.

similar to http://<host name>:<http

name of the section in forms configuration file with single sign-on
(ssoMode) enabled.
2. The Forms servlet redirects the user to the authentication server login page.
3. The user provides user name and password through the login form.
4. The password is verified through Oracle Internet Directory (LDAP Server).
5. The user is redirected to the URL with sso_userid information.
6. The Forms servlet retrieves the database credentials from Oracle Internet
Directory.
7. The Forms servlet sets the sso_userid parameter in the Runform session and
permits the applet to connect to the Forms listener servlet.
8. The Forms servlet starts the Forms server.

Services when a user, authenticated through another partner application, requests an
application that is protected by authentication server.

These Oracle Forms parameters in the formsweb.cfg file are set in the User
Parameter section, which define the behavior for all Forms applications run by the
server. These parameters can also be set in a Named Configuration, which define the
settings for a particular application only. A single sign-on parameter set in a Named
Configuration section overrides the same parameter set in the User Parameter section.
9.4.1 ssoMode
The ssoMode parameter enables a Forms Services application to connect to an
authentication server. Following are the values that the single sign-on parameter,
ssoMode can assume:
ssoMode, when set to TRUE or mod_osso indicates that the application requires
authentication by OAM Server or OracleAS Single Sign-On Server.
ssoMode, when set to webgate indicates that the application requires
authentication by OAM server using webgate as the access client. Webgate must
be manually installed and configured.
ssoMode, when set to FALSE indicates that the application does not require
authentication with an authentication server.
By default, Oracle Forms applications are not configured to run in single sign-on
mode. The ssoMode parameter can be set in two places in the formsweb.cfg file:
9.4.2 ssoProxyConnect
The ssoProxyConnect parameter enables a user to control when Oracle Forms
should use a proxy connection to the database and when it should not. The
ssoProxyConnect parameter can be set in two ways:
By setting ssoProxyConnect in the default section of formsweb.cfg with a
value of yes which allows all applications to run in single sign-on mode by this
Forms Services instance
By passing the ssoProxyConnect parameter in the URL at runtime, for example
http://<host>:<port>/?config=myapp&&ssoProxyConnect=yes
9.4.3 ssoDynamicResourceCreate
The ssoDynamicResourceCreate parameter is set to true by default which
allows the user to create a Resource Access Descriptor (RAD) entry in Oracle Internet
Directory to run the application if this resource entry does not exist.
Allowing dynamic resource creation simplifies Oracle Internet Directory
administration because there is no longer the need for an administrator to create user
RAD information in advance. The ssoDynamicResourceCreate parameter can be
set as a system parameter in the formsweb.cfg file or as a parameter of a named
configuration. Because the default is set to true, this parameter may be used in a
named configuration for a specific application to handle a missing RAD entry
differently from the default.
Note that enabling an application for single sign-on with the value of the
ssoDynamicResourceCreate parameter set to false, while not specifying a value
for the ssoErrorURL, causes Oracle Forms to show an error message if no RAD
resource exists for the authenticated user and this application.
Since not all administrators want their users to create resources for themselves (and
potentially raising issues with Oracle Internet Directory), these parameters allow
administrators to control Oracle Internet Directory resource creation. Although the
default behavior is to direct users to an HTML form that allows them to create the
resource, the administrator can change the setting and redirect the user to a custom
URL.
For the configuration section for the Forms application, you need to set these
parameters:
[myApp]
form=myFmx
ssoMode=true
ssoDynamicResourceCreate=false
For information about setting these parameters through Enterprise Manager Fusion
Middleware Control, see Section 4.2.4, "Managing Parameters".
9.4.4 ssoErrorURL
The ssoErrorURL parameter allows an administrator to specify a redirection URL
that handles the case where a user RAD entry is missing for a particular application.
This parameter has effect only if the ssoDynamicResourceCreate parameter is set
to false, which disables the dynamic resource creation behavior. The ssoErrorURL
parameter can be defined in the default section and as a parameter in a named
configuration section. The URL can be of any kind of application, a static HTML file,
or a custom Servlet (JSP) application handling the RAD creation, as in the example
below.
[myApp]
form=myFmx
ssoMode=true
ssoDynamicResourceCreate=false
ssoErrorURL=http://example.com:7779/servlet/handleCustomRADcreation.jsp
9.4.5 ssoCancelUrl
The ssoCancelURL parameter is used in combination with the dynamic RAD
creation feature (ssoDynamicResourceCreate= true) and defines the URL that a
user is redirected to if the user presses the cancel button in the HTML form that is used
to dynamically create the RAD entry for the requested application.
The Forms application developer can obtain the SSO information such as single
sign-on user ID, subscriber distinguished name (subscriber dn), and user
distinguished name (dn) in SSO mode with either OracleAS Single Sign-On server or
Oracle Access Manager when using mod_osso or webgate as the access client.
cluster1:repserver1;cluster2:repserver2;cluster3:repserver3
</reports_servermap>
For example, if your Oracle Forms application includes 3 clusters with names
dev_cluster, prd_cluster, and qa_cluster in 10.1.2, you can map these
cluster names to respective server names in later releases, as follows:
<reports_servermap>
dev_cluster:dev_server;prd_cluster:prd_server;qa_cluster:qa_
server
</reports_servermap>
Using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT: In this case, the request is submitted to rwservlet. If
the call specifies a Reports Server cluster name instead of a Reports Server name,
the reports_servermap element must be set in the rwservlet.properties
file. For example:
<reports_servermap>
cluster:repserver
</reports_servermap>

time, but also duplicates functionality that is already implemented in the Oracle
Database.
The second issue is security. If that single user access is ever compromised, the
compromised user will have access to the entire application schema.
To address these two issues, Oracle Database supports proxy user authentication,
which allows a client user to connect to the database through an application server, as
a proxy user.
Figure 96 describes the authentication of a Forms proxy user.
Oracle Forms authenticates the user through Oracle Internet Directory or LDAP, as
shown in the center of the image.
Forms then connects as the proxy user with or without a password, passing in the
real username from the Oracle Internet Directory repository.
Typically, the proxy user is configured with least set of privileges. In the following
procedure, the proxy user has "connect" and "create session" privileges.
The database accepts the create session action for the proxy user and uses the
real username in audits and access control.
The Oracle Internet Directory user cannot connect to the database independently
without configuration of the proxy user account.
The proxy user account isolates the client from direct SQL*Plus connections.
At this point, this proxy user has connect and create session privileges and has no
grants on any of the user schemas.
3. Create a database user which has one-to-one mapping with a SSO username (that
is, if appuser is the SSO username create database user appuser).
SQL> CREATE USER appuser IDENTIFIED BY appuserPW;
5. To make it possible to connect through the midtier user you need to alter the
database user:
SQL> ALTER USER appuser GRANT CONNECT THROUGH midtier;
The user appuser can now connect through the midtier account.
Alternatively, you can define the roles that the proxy user can connect to the
database as
SQL> ALTER USER appuser GRANT CONNECT THROUGH midtier WITH ROLE <role_name>;
Repeat Step 3 and 4 for all database users who need to use the proxy user account.
It is also possible to set up the database users in Oracle Internet Directory with the
help of the database functionality called Enterprise User Security. If you choose this
method, the proxy user is the only user defined in the database and the additional
benefit of easy administration is gained. For more information on using Enterprise
User Security, refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle
Internet Directory 11g Release 1 (11.1.1).
The application user's password is not presented to the database; only the user name
and the proxy user's user name and password. Forms, with the help of OCI calls,
issues the equivalent of:
SQL> connect midtier[appuser]/midtierPW@databaseTnsName
For example, suppose your application always connects to the database using midtier.
This midtier now informs the database that the actual user is appuser. Without using
proxy users, the SQL command select USER from DUAL would return midtier,
but, using proxy users, this query returns appuser. This essentially tells the database
to trust that the user is authenticated elsewhere and to let the user connect without a
password and to grant the connect role.
Note:
In the Step 3 of the above procedure, the database users are
typically configured to have a subset of permissions granted to a
schema. For example, appuser is granted CREATE permissions to
the schema app_schema with the SQL command:
SQL> GRANT CREATE ON SCHEMA app_schema TO appuser
Thus, the appuser is restricted to perform only a set of actions in
proxy user mode.
When the database user (for example, appuser) is connected in
proxy mode, user actions of the database users are audited rather
than that of the proxy user. For more information on user action
auditing, refer to the Oracle Database documentation at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/documen
tation/index.html.
<dbProxyConnKeys>
<dbProxyKey name="frm_config_name" database="dbname"/>

4. Generate and apply the access client file as described in Section 9.7.2, "Generating

Guide for Oracle Identity Managment
also be shared by multiple Forms runtime processes. The JVM controller process is not
a JVM itself, but a container that contains a JVM in a similar way that the Forms
Runtime process contains an in-process JVM. Using JVM pooling is optional.
Administrators can choose to not use JVM pooling and have the JVM contained in the
Forms runtime process.
Java Virtual Machine (JVM) pooling works in conjunction with the Java Importer. It
also works with Forms' ability to call out to Reports. The Java Importer allows
developers at design time to reference Java classes from PL/SQL within the Forms
Builder. At runtime, Forms uses a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to execute Java code. In
earlier versions of Oracle Forms, each Forms session that used the Java Importer had
its own JVM instance to execute Java code. In this model, each JVM consumes memory
on the server, and if there are many concurrent users, the amount of memory
consumed by the multiple JVM processes becomes significant.
For more information on the Java Importer, see the Oracle Forms Developer online
help.
When you enable JVM pooling, administrators can consolidate the number of running
JVM instances so that the Forms sessions can share JVMs rather than each one having
its own instance. The result is a large reduction in memory consumption, thus freeing
up more resources on your server.
You also need to consider JVM pooling in application design and deployment. For
more information, see Chapter 10.5, "Design-time Considerations".
For example, different Forms applications may want to use different JVMs with
different options or classpaths. You can specify which JVM controller and Forms
application should be used in the named sections of the Forms configuration file
(formsweb.cfg). See Section 10.8.6, "Forms Configuration File Settings" for more
information.
Figure 101 shows an example of what an environment might look like using JVM
pooling. There are two JVM controllers: the first one is using only its in-process JVM,
the second one is using three JVMs.

Although it's not shown in Figure 101, each JVM controller has a unique name which
is used in starting and stopping, or for referencing in the Forms configuration file.
Figure 101 is conceptual only in that it shows different Forms applications using
different JVM controllers. However, the Forms runtime process does not communicate
with the JVM controller, but directly with one of the available JVMs. Therefore, the
first two clients in the diagram can only use the in-process JVM; the rest have three
available JVMs to work with.
When the performance of a JVM degrades significantly, it probably means it is
servicing too many requests. In that case, it is possible to have multiple "child" JVMs
for the same JVM controller which get created dynamically as needed.
The JVM parameter maxsessions specifies how many Forms runtime processes are
allowed to attach to a JVM before a new child JVM is created. When a child JVM is
started, it inherits the same parameters as the JVM controller.
If any JVM has maxsessions connections, it does not take any request from new
Forms runtime processes. When a new Forms runtime process first attempts to execute
Java code, it attaches to a JVM that is available, that is, has fewer than maxsessions
connections. The method of choosing the JVM is entirely arbitrary; there is no load
balancing or round-robin algorithm.
If a JVM reaches maxsessions connections, but another JVM has not, no new JVM is
created. If all JVMs have simultaneously reached maxsessions connections, another
child JVM is created, and so on.
Child JVMs are not automatically removed when the load is reduced. So if you want to
remove some child JVMs, the JVM controller must be stopped, which also stops all
child JVMs. Then the JVM controller can be restarted.
The scope of a child JVM is within the context of a JVM controller namespace. For
example, if you have two JVM controllers, ordersJVM and hrJVM, ordersJVM and its
child JVMs do not affect nor are affected by hrJVM or its child JVMs.

In this example, five clients working in the same application through their own

usage and system resources.
one JVM, and one of the instances of your loan class changes interestRate, all of
the other instances will be affected (which is what you want).
However, if the JVM controller has one or more child JVMs, there may be at least two
JVMs. If interestRate changes in one JVM, the loan instances in the other JVMs won't
see this new value. For more information about managing child JVMs, see Section 10.2,
"About Child Java Virtual Machine Processes". Prior to JVM pooling, if you changed
interestRate it would not affect any other instances because each Oracle Forms
Runtime process had its own in-process JVM.
If you rely on static variables to share information between instances of your class,
ensure that no child JVM is spawned by setting maxsessions to 65535.
Note: You cannot change the location or name of the JVM controllers
configuration file.
When you start a JVM controller, it takes its settings from the configuration file. You
may specify none, some, or all options in this file, both in the default section and in
named sections.
Use the JVM Configuration and JVM Controller pages in Fusion Middleware Control
to manage JVM pooling tasks:
Section 10.8.1, "Common Tasks in the JVM Configuration Page"

10.8.5 Starting and Stopping JVM Controllers with Fusion Middleware Control
Fusion Middleware Control is the recommended tool for managing Oracle Forms
Services, such as starting, stopping, and restarting a JVM controller.
If a JVM controller is down, you can start it. If a JVM controller is already running, you
can restart it without first having to manually stop it. Fusion Middleware Control does
this step for you.
Note: Ensure that users have stopped the forms sessions that are
using the JVM controller before you stop or restart the JVM. Users
may want to restart sessions when the JVM is restarted.
2. Select the JVM controller that you want to start. A JVM that is not running is
indicated by a red, down arrow.
3. Click Start.
When the JVM controller has started, a green, up arrow (Figure 105) is displayed
in the Status.
If a user starts an ordersApp application, and the application executes Java code, the
Forms runtime process will route the request to the JVM controller named
commonJVM. Because the [ordersApp] application section does not specify which
JVM controller to use, the Forms runtime process uses the global one. If the JVM
controller is not started, it will be dynamically started. If a second user starts the same
application, it too will attach to commonJVM.
When a user starts an hrApp application and it executes Java code, the Forms runtime
process sends the request to the JVM controller named hrJVM because the [hrApp]
application section overrides the global setting. If the JVM controller is not started, it
will be dynamically started. When a second user starts the same application, it too will
attach to hrJVM.
When a user starts a salesApp application and it executes Java code, the Forms
runtime process starts an in-process JVM in the same way the Java Importer works
without JVM pooling. When a second user starts the same application, the application
will get their own in-process JVM, thus consuming more memory, as shown in
Figure 106:

1. In the JVM Configuration page, select the the JVM configuration section.
2. For the Logging parameter, enter On or Off.
3. Click Apply.
Note: If you delete a log file of a JVM that is running, the log file will
be available again when the JVM is restarted. Logging is possible only
when the JVM is restarted.
The ability to control user access to Web content and to protect your site against people
breaking into your system is critical. This chapter describes the architecture and
configuration of security for Oracle Forms Services:
Section 11.1, "Forms Services Single Sign-On"
Section 11.2, "Configuring Oracle Forms Services Security"
configure Oracle Forms Services to allow users to create the RAD for this application
on the fly if it does not exist. The funtionality to redirect to DAS pages is achieved with
the single sign-on parameter ssoDynamicResourceCreate.
11.2.2 Configuring Oracle Forms Options for Oracle Fusion Middleware Security
Framework
For more detailed information about configuring and securing Oracle Forms, see the
following chapters:
Chapter 3, "Basics of Deploying Oracle Forms Applications"
Chapter 4, "Configuring and Managing Forms Services"
Chapter 9, "Using Forms Services with Oracle Single Sign-On"
Chapter 12, "Tracing and Diagnostics"
event set specifies a group of events that you can trace simply by specifying the event
set name rather than each event number individually when you start the trace.
Use the Trace Configuration selection in the Forms menu of Oracle Enterprise
Manager page to define the events that you want to trace. This page manages all
changes in the ftrace.cfg file for you.
Keep these items in mind when working with Forms Trace:
If you first switch off trace, and then switch it on again with new settings, then
trace is enabled with the new trace group.
In order to trace Forms Processes on Windows, the Process Manager Service needs
to have the check box "Allow service to interact with the desktop" selected. When
this is not set, attempting to switch on Trace will result in the error:
oracle.sysman.emSDK.emd.comm.RemoteOperationException. Check
the User Name and Password.
Backup the ftrace.cfg and default.env files before editing them with Fusion
Middleware Control.
As with most Web applications, it is easy to lose unsaved changes by switching
pages. Be sure to save any changes you make through Fusion Middleware Control
to Forms configuration, trace, or environment files before proceeding to other
pages.
The length of time it takes for changes to be saved is affected by the number of
lines you have changed. For example, an additional fifty lines of comments will
take longer to save than just deleting a single entry.
See Section 12.5, "List of Traceable Events" for a list of events and their corresponding
event numbers.
2. From the Fusion Middleware Control main page, click the link to the Oracle Forms
Services instance that you want to configure.
3. From the Forms menu list, select Trace Configuration.
The Trace Configuration page (Figure 121) is displayed.
http://example.com/forms/frmservlet?form=cxl&record=forms&tracegroup=mysql
Duration event: An event with a start and end, for example, a trigger. Each
instance of this event type creates a pair of entries in the log file (a start and end
event).
Built-in event: An event associated with a built-in. Each instance of this event type
provides a greater quantity of information about the event (for example, argument
values).
* These event numbers do not have a TYPE because they are not really events, but
rather details for events. For example, the State Delta is something you can choose to
see - it is triggered by a real action or event.
serverURL=/forms/lservlet/session
This configuration modifies the logging.xml file for the managed server.
12.6.1.3 Specifying Full Diagnostics in the URL that Invokes the Forms Servlet
To start full diagnostics, specify the parameter serverURL in formsweb.cfg as
follows:

This chapter describes the upgrade process from Forms 6i. For information about
changed or obsolete features, see the Oracle Forms Upgrading Oracle Forms 6i to Oracle
Forms 11g Guide.
This chapter contains the following sections:
Section 13.1, "Oracle Forms Services Upgrade Items"
Section 13.2, "Oracle Forms Services Upgrade Tasks"
Section 13.3, "Validating the Oracle Forms Services Upgrade"
For upgrading from Oracle Forms 10g and prior releases, you can use the Upgrade
Assistant. Refer to the following documents for more information.
Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Planning Guide
Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Guide for Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports, and
Discoverer
Section 13.2.6, "Upgrading the Forms Listener Servlet Architecture to Oracle Forms
Services" on page 13-9
Section 13.2.7, "Upgrading Load Balancing" on page 13-10
Section 13.2.8, "Usage Notes" on page 13-11
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/document
ation/index.html.
13.2.3 Upgrading Common Gateway Interface (CGI) to the Oracle Forms Servlet
This section provides instructions to upgrade Forms CGI to the Forms servlet
deployment. Follow these steps if you are using the Oracle 6i Forms Services Common
Gateway Interface to dynamically render the Forms Applet start HTML file for
applications.
CGI deployment for Forms applications was introduced in Oracle Forms Services
Release 6i to enable the Forms Applet Start HTML file to render dynamically. Forms
CGI uses the formsweb.cfg configuration file and an HTML template to create the
start HTML file for an application. The CGI interface is configured by an entry in the
Forms HTTP configuration file 6iserver.conf (it is referenced by an Include
directive in the Oracle HTTP Server oracle_apache.conf file), which contains a
ScriptAlias directive identifying dev60cgi for the directory structure containing
the ifcgi60.exe file.
The Forms servlet renders the HTML in the same manner as the CGI, but also provides
an automatic browser type detection. The Forms servlet is configured when you install
Oracle Forms Services, and is named frmservlet.
To access the Forms servlet, request the URL:
http://<hostname>:<port>/forms/frmservlet
This URL is similar to the URL used with the CGI Interface in Oracle 6i Forms
Services. To call an application configured as myapp in the custom configuration
section of the formsweb.cfg file, request the URL:
http://<hostname>:<port>/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp
The Forms servlet is automatically configured during installation. The installer creates
a virtual path /forms/ pointing to the Oracle Forms Services configuration,
formsapp and formsweb.
Follow these steps to upgrade an Oracle 6i Forms Services Release 6i CGI environment
to an Oracle Forms Services servlet environment:
1. Copy all of the application-specific configurations from <source_
OH>/Forms60/Server/formsweb.cfg and append them to <destination_
Domain_Dir>/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_
FORMS/applications/formsapp_11.1.2/config/formsweb.cfg.
3. If you changed the Oracle 6i Forms HTML template files, then make the same
changes to the Oracle Forms Services HTML template files.
13.2.4 Upgrading Static HTML Start Files to Generic Application HTML Start Files
Each application deployed to Oracle Forms Services has a custom application
definition, configured in the formsweb.cfg configuration file. It automatically
inherits the general system settings, such as the names and locations of the base HTML
template files.
The name of the custom application definition becomes part of the Forms application
URL. The following custom settings define two different applications:
[MyHR_app]
serverURL=/forms/lservlet
Form = hr_main.fmx
lookAndFeel=oracle
Otherparams=myParam1=12
Userid=scott/tiger@orcl
archive=frmall.jar, custom.jar
ServerURL=/forms/lservlet
Form = book.fmx
lookAndFeel=oracle

Note: If you need to change the underlying HTML files, you should
make a copy of the provided template files before editing them. Save
the edited HTML files under a different name, and leave the default
templates provided with the installation unchanged. This prevents
overwriting of your customized HTML template files when patch sets
are applied to the application.
To use your own template files with applications, use these
parameters in the system section, or one of your custom application
definitions: baseHTML=<your base template>.htm
13.2.6 Upgrading the Forms Listener Servlet Architecture to Oracle Forms Services
In Oracle9iAS Forms Services Release 6i, the Listener Servlet, if not aliased, is accessed
by the oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet. The Listener Servlet
configuration exists in the jserv.properties file and the zone.properties file.
In Oracle Forms Services, the Forms Listener servlet is the same except for the servlet
names, which are frmservlet and lservlet, and the servlet container. The
configuration is performed during installation. The Listener Servlet configuration in
Oracle WebLogic Managed Server is stored in $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/WLS_
FORMS/tmp/_WL_user/formsapp_11.1.2/<random_
string>/war/WEB-INF/web.xml. Some initialization parameters, like the
envFile parameter, need no longer be configured with the servlet engine, because
they are moved to the formsweb.cfg file.
The Forms Listener servlet is automatically configured during the Oracle WebLogic
Server installation. The installer creates a virtual path /forms/ pointing to the Oracle
Forms Services configuration, formsapp and formsweb.
To access the Forms Listener servlet test form, request the following URL:
http://<hostname>:<port>/forms/frmservlet?form=test.fmx
Ability to access this page means that the Forms Listener servlet is configured and
ready to use. frmservlet is the access name configured for the Forms servlet during
installation. The name of the Listener Servlet is lservlet.
Follow these steps to upgrade the Listener Servlet architecture to Oracle Forms
Services:
1. Copy the Forms application files to a new directory and upgrade them to Oracle
Forms Services modules.
2. Edit the forms/server/default.env file, adding the location of the upgraded
Forms application modules to the Forms_Path variable.
3. Copy all of the custom application settings from <source_
OH>/Forms60/Server/formsweb.cfg and append them to <destination_
Domain_Dir>/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_
FORMS/applications/formsapp_11.1.2/config/formsweb.cfg.
4. If an application requires its own environment file, then instead of defining a
servlet alias for the Listener Servlet, set the envFile parameter in the custom
application definition section in <destination_Domain_
Dir>/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_
FORMS/applications/formsapp_11.1.2/config/formsweb.cfg to point
to the new environment file. For example:
envFile=myEnvFile.env
Note: If you need to change the underlying HTML files, you should
make a copy of the provided template files before editing them. Save
the edited HTML files under a different name, and leave the default
templates provided with the installation unchanged. This prevents
overwriting of your customized HTML template files when patch sets
are applied to the application.
To use your own template files with applications, use these
parameters in the system section, or one of your custom application
definitions: baseHTML=<your base template>.htm
With the Forms 6i servlet, load balancing is configured with the JServ servlet
engine, using round robin load balancing among JServ engines.
In Oracle Forms Services, load balancing is managed by Oracle WebLogic
Managed Server process. It binds Web requests to the servlet container processing
the Forms servlet and the Forms Listener servlet.
2. From the Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control main page, select the
link to the Forms Services instance that you want to monitor.
The Forms Home page for the Forms Services instance displays the following:
Status of Forms application instance (up, down, unknown)
URL of the Forms Services instance being monitored
Number of Forms sessions
Additionally, you can navigate to the following detail pages:
Performance Summary
Servlet Logs
Session Details
Web Configuration
Environment Configuration
Trace Configuration
User Sessions
JVM Configuration
JVM Controllers
In the Performance Summary page, you can add charts for other Forms
metrics to the page dynamically by using the Show Metric Palette. You can
also overlay metrics to compare them. For example, drag and drop Private
Memory consumed by two JVM Controllers into one chart to compare them.
For more information, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Performance Guide.
Note that prestartMin defines the minimum number of pre-started runtimes that
must exist at any time while runtime pooling is still active for a specific application.
The minimum value must be less than or equal to what's defined for the
prestartInit parameter. The prestartMin parameter can be modified at any time
and does not require the application server to be restarted. The new entries will be
picked up when a client requests a connection to a pre-started runtime process and the
prestarted runtime processes have not timed out. Once they have timed out, an
application uses default behavior and a minimum threshold is not maintained.
Each configuration section can specify values for these parameter. If the
prestartRuntimes = true entry is found, but there is no associating prestart
parameter, then default values are used.
In a load balanced system that has multiple instances of Oracle WebLogic Managed
Server, the various values provided for the above parameters are on a per JVM basis,
and not the total for the application.
Note: If there is an error in any schedule entry in the xml file, the
server skips that particular schedule and imports the next schedule
entry. If there are any expired schedules in the xml file, they are
ignored and not imported.
When the same string is to be repeated on the client display (for example, when
displaying multiple rows of data with the same company name), Oracle Forms
Services sends the string only once, and then references the string in subsequent
messages. Passing strings by reference increases bandwidth efficiency.
Data types are transmitted in the lowest number of bytes required for their value.
14.2.1 Location of the Oracle Forms Services with Respect to the Data Server
The Forms Java client is only responsible to display the GUI objects. All of the Oracle
Forms logic runs in Oracle Forms Services, on the middle tier. This includes inserting
or updating the data to the database, querying data from the database, executing
stored procedures on the database, and so on. Therefore, it is important to have a
high-speed connection (high bandwidth and not low latency) between the application
server and the database server.
All of this interaction takes place without any communication to the Forms Java client.
Only when there is a change on the screen is there any traffic between the client and
Forms Services. This allows Oracle Forms applications to run across slower networks
(high latency networks), such as with modems or satellites.
The configuration in Figure 143, displays how Forms Services and the database
server are co-located in a data center.

Jar files are cached relative to the host from which they were loaded. This has
implications in a load-balancing architecture where identical Jar files from different
servers can fill the cache. By having Jar files in a central location and by having them
referenced for each server in the load-balancing configuration, the developer can
ensure that only one copy of each Jar file is maintained in the client's cache. A
consequence of this technique is that certain classes within the Jar file must be signed
to enable connections back to servers other than the one from which they were loaded.
The Oracle-supplied Jar files already pre-sign the classes.
VISIBLE = NO
Pay attention to TAB canvases that consist of several sheets where only one
will ever be displayed. For responsive switching between tabs, all items for all
sheets on the canvas are loaded, including those that are hidden behind the
initial tab. Consequently, the time taken to load and initialize a TAB canvas is
related to all objects on the canvas and not just to those initially visible.
Tip: When using Tab canvases, use stacked canvases and display the
right canvas in the when-tab-page-changed trigger. Remember to set
the properties RAISE ON ENTRY = YES and VISIBLE = NO for
all the canvases not displayed in the first screen.
Menu buffering applies only to the menu properties of LABEL, ICON, VISIBLE,
and CHECKED. An ENABLE/DISABLE event is always sent and does not entail
the retransmission of an entire menu.
With OPEN_FORM, the calling Form is left open on the client and the server,
so that the additional Form on both the client and the server consumes more
memory. However, if the Form is already in use by another user, then the
increase in server memory is limited to just the data segments. When the user
returns to the initial Form, it already resides in local memory and requires no
additional network traffic to redisplay.
With NEW_FORM, the calling Form is closed on the client and the server, and
all object properties are destroyed. Consequently, it consumes less memory on
the server and client. Returning to the initial Form requires that it be
downloaded again to the client, which requires network resources and startup
time delays. Use OPEN_FORM to display the next Form in an application
unless it is unlikely that the initial form will be called again (such as a login
form).
Avoid unnecessary graphics and images. Wherever possible, reduce the number
of image items and background images displayed in your applications. Each time
an image is displayed to application users, the image must be downloaded from
the application server to the user's Web browser. To display a company logo with
your Web application, include the image in the HTML file that downloads at
application startup. Do this instead of including it as a background image in the
application. As a background image, it must be retrieved from the database or file
system and downloaded repeatedly to users' computers.
Figure 144 assumes a setup where a single Web Cache instance is load balancing two
Application Server tiers. This can be described as following:
1. Oracle Web Cache instance running on Host A
2. Oracle HTTP Server instance and Oracle WebLogic Managed Server on Host B
running Oracle Forms application D
3. Oracle HTTP Server instance and Oracle WebLogic Managed Server on Host C
running Oracle Forms application D
Prerequisites
1. Modify the Forms J2EE application deployment descriptor (weblogic.xml) to
override the default session tracking entries and to enable the cookies for session
tracking. For more information, refer to Section 5.2.4, "Modification of Forms J2EE
Application Deployment Descriptors".
Modify the deployment plan. The following is a sample of the deployment plan

3. The Application Server hosts (Host B and Host C) must have the same FMW patch
set version.
4. Ensure that the Forms configuration files are synchronized across the Application
Server hosts. This means that you must create matching entries in the Forms
configuration files (formsweb.cfg, default.env, Registry.dat, and so on)
across all the Application Server hosts.
only the Oracle HTTP Server/WebLogic Managed Server running on Host C will
be accessible.
3. Using the same browser that is running the Oracle Forms client, access Oracle
Forms application D again. The request will fail, and the Forms client will lose its
session. Note that Oracle Forms session state is not replicated among Oracle
WebLogic Managed Server.
4. Next, clear the browser cookies and open a browser window. Point it to the Web
Cache host and access Oracle Forms application D. Web Cache will direct the
requests to the remaining Oracle HTTP Server/WebLogic Managed Server
running on Host C. Ensure that the application works as expected.
5. Restart the Oracle HTTP Server/WebLogic Managed Server on Host B. Using a
browser, log on to the Web Cache Manager.
6. In the Oracle Enterprise Manager navigator panel, select Web Cache and navigate
to the Home page.
7. In the Web Cache Home page, ensure that Host B listed under Origin Servers is
checked.
Figure 145 Oracle Traffic Director Load Balancing in a Non-Single Sign-On Setup
Figure 146 Oracle Traffic Director Load Balancing in a Single Sign-On Setup
Figure 145 and Figure 146 assume a setup where a single Oracle Traffic Director
instance is load balancing two Application Server tiers. This can be described as
following:
1. Oracle Traffic Director instance running on Host A. In a Single Sign-On scenario
(Figure 146), WebGate is also installed on Host A.
2. Oracle WebLogic Managed Server on Host B running Oracle Forms application D.
3. Oracle WebLogic Managed Server on Host C running Oracle Forms application D.
Prerequisites
1. Install Oracle Traffic Director version 11.1.1.7 or higher. For information about
installing Oracle Traffic Director, see Oracle Traffic Director Installation Guide.
2. If you are running Forms applications in the Single Sign-On scenario as illustrated
in Figure 146, you must install WebGate on Host A. For information about
installing WebGate, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Installing WebGates for Oracle
Access Manager.
3. WebLogic Server should be upgraded to version 10.3.6 on the Application Server
hosts (Host B and Host C).
4. WebLogic Server one-off patch sets with patch IDs JSES and XJNR must be applied
to the WebLogic Server installations on Application Server hosts (Host B and Host
C) using the Oracle WebLogic Smart update utility.
5. The Application Server hosts (Host B and Host C) must have the same patch set
version.
6. Ensure that the Forms configuration files are in synchronization across both the
Application Server hosts. This means that you must create matching entries in the
Forms configuration files across both the Application Server hosts.
Forms Diagnostics Agent or Forms Metrics Agent enables the user to analyze various
performance-related information about Forms applications running in your
environment. This agent accesses the metrics data (available in DMS) at regular time
intervals and populates the database tables. This process allows the user to access the
data collected as historical data.
Forms Diagnostics agent works only with Oracle Forms 11gR2. The deployment of this
application is optional. The agent application provides an interactive interface where
the user can specify the frequency of data collection and also control the starting and
stopping of data collection. This can be achieved by performing the following tasks:
Install and Configure Oracle Forms 11gR2
Setting up the Database Schema
Setting up a Data Source in WebLogic
Deploying Forms Diagnostics Agent
Managing the Data Collection
Using the Agent Application
Limitations of the Agent Application
Note: Before creating a user in the database, ensure that the user
name provided by you is new and does not already exist. This is
because the .sql script (used to create the user in the database)
overwrites the user (user name provided during the creation) with the
new user.
Note: Before creating a schema in the database, ensure that the user
name provided by you is new and does not already exist. This is
because the .sql script (used to create the schema in the database)
overwrites the schema (user name provided during the creation) with
the new schema.
1. Log in to the database as the user that you created in the above steps:
sqlplus <user>/<password>@<DB>
2. Run the following script:
@ORACLE_HOME/forms/forms_create_diagnostics_schema.sql.
3. The schema is thus created.
oracle/forms/agentDS
Database Type
Choose type of database that you used to create user and schema in the previous
steps.
Click Next. The Create a new JDBC data sources page appears.
5. Select Database driver from the list of drivers available for the type of database
you have selected. Click Next.
6. Enter the values for the following parameters:
Database Name
Host Name
Port
Database User Name
Enter the user name that you used while creating a user in the database in the
steps above.
Password
Enter the password that you used while creating a user in the database in the steps
above.
Click Next.
7. In the next page, click Test Configurations at the top left corner to check if the
database has been configured successfully.
Click Next.
8. Select Admin Server as a target to deploy the data source.
Click Finish.
9. Click Activate Changes in the Change Center window to save changes.
You have now set up a JDBC data source.
1. Start the Admin server for the WebLogic Server domain by selecting Start |
Program Files |Oracle WebLogic Server | User Projects | Domain | Start
Admin Server for WLS Domain, if it is not already started.
2. If the managed server is not up, perform the following steps:
1. Start the node manager by selecting Start | Program Files |Oracle WebLogic
| WebLogic Server 11gR1 | Tools | Node Manager, if it is not already
started.
2. Start Forms Services from the WebLogic Administrator Console.
3. Open an instance of the browser by typing <ORACLE_
HOME>/tools/web/html/runform.htm for the URL and press ENTER.
Replace ORACLE_HOME with your actual Oracle home for Oracle Fusion
Middleware.
4. Alternatively, you can run the Web Form Tester by selecting Start | Program Files
| <Oracle_Home> | Forms Services | Run a Form on the Web from the
Windows Start menu for Oracle Fusion Middleware.
5. Enter the Web port and click the Run Form button. See Section A.1.2, "Find Port
Information" to learn how to find out the Web port.
6. If the installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware is correct, you will see a success
message in the Web browser. Also, it can be tested from a client computer whether
the basic Forms setup in Oracle Fusion Middleware on the middle tier is installed
correctly or not by the installer. You can run the test form from any client
computer by running it from the browser with the URL
http://example.com:NNNN/forms/frmservlet?form=test.fmx.
the Forms runtime process reads all the .sym files that correspond to the forms
executable files loaded into memory. It then uses the information in the .sym files to
lookup the symbol name.
Note: The JVM will only use the memory it is told it is allowed to
use. Even if you have memory available with the operating system,
the JVM will not use it if told not to.
A typical method used to spot memory leaks is to repeat a series of steps, and observe
the memory in use by the application - if the memory usage continues to rise with each
iteration, then the assumption is often that the program has a memory leak.
However, some complex applications may choose to retain control of memory it has
previously allocated so that it can reuse it at a later point - memory allocation can be
an expensive operation, and if the program expects that it will need more memory
later it may be more efficient to keep the unused memory available for reuse.
class files bundled into one compressed file. Typically, the size of the Jar file will be
much smaller than the combined size of the class files it contains.
When the JVM first references a class, it checks the local computer to see if any of the
previously cached Jar files contain this class. If the class does exist in one of the
pre-cached Jar files, then the JVM checks to see if there is a newer version of this Jar
file on the application server. If there is a newer Jar file available then the new copy of
the Jar file is downloaded to the client cache. If the cached Jar file is up to date, then
the class file is loaded from the cached Jar file rather than from over the network.
Caching is important because if the application Jar files do not change, then after the
application has run once, and all the Jar files required have been cached on the client,
then subsequent invocations of the application will always load the classes from the
local cached copies. This can lead to significant performance improvements in the
startup time for the application. If new classes are needed to run a specific part of the
application, these will be downloaded as required.
Be methodical
Do not immediately leap to the area you believe to be the cause based on a hunch, or a
guess - make sure you eliminate the other possibilities first. An easy trap to fall into is
that of spending long periods of time trying to find evidence to support your theory,
rather than concentrating on what the evidence shows. Do not overlook the trivial or
the obvious.
meant to happen. If you can reproduce the problem then you have already started the
first step to resolve it.
Make sure you understand the tools you are trying to use
If you decide to use a diagnostic tool, make sure you know how to use it, and how to
interpret the data it produces. Time spent in investigating the usage of a tool before the
problem happens is time well invested. Make time to learn the tool as well.

This section describes the use of Oracles Java Plug-in as a Web browser plug-in.
Oracle Java Plug-in enables users to run Oracle Forms applications using Mozilla
Firefox or Internet Explorer. It provides the ability to specify the use of a specific Java
Virtual Machine (JVM) on the client. For more information, see the white paper "Using
Suns Java Plug-in" at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/overview
/index.html.
1. The base HTML file must define the serverURL attribute to the value of the
serverURL variable (serverURL="%serverURL%"), in the COMMENT node
that has the ID forms_plugin_info.
2. The base HTML file must define the serverURL applet parameter, and its value
must be the value of the appletServerURL variable. (Prior to Forms 11g, it was
set to the value of the serverURL variable). This can be accomplished by
including
<PARAM NAME="serverURL" VALUE="%appletServerURL%">
and
serverURL="%appletServerURL%"
in the OBJECT definition and the EMBED comment in user-written base HTML
files. Note that the appletServerURL variable should not be set in a
configuration file. (If it is, the value is ignored.) Instead, Forms computes its value
automatically: if legacy_lifecycle=true (in the configuration file or in the
initial URL), then the appletServerURL variable evaluates to "?", which causes
Forms to look for the serverURL attribute of the COMMENT node (see above).
Otherwise, the appletServerURL evaluates to the value of the serverURL
variable.
3. The base HTML file must define the legacy_lifecycle applet parameter, and
the value must not be hard-coded: it must match the value of the legacy_
lifecycle variable. That is because in Forms 11g, the variable also affects the
value of the appletServerURL variable (as explained above). This can be
accomplished by including
<PARAM NAME="legacy_lifecycle" VALUE="%legacy_lifecycle%">
and
legacy_lifecycle="%legacy_lifecycle%"
in the OBJECT definition and the EMBED comment in user-written base HTML
files.

# - In JDK 1.4.1 the location of libjvm.so is lib/sparc (there is no
# classic directory) so we do not include the .../classic directory
# below. There are other versions of libjvm.so (in directories server,
# client and hotspot) but we will use the version in lib/sparc for now.

When a user first starts an Oracle Forms application (by clicking a link to the
applications URL), a baseHTML file is read by Forms servlet.
Any variables (%variablename%) in the baseHTML file are replaced with the
appropriate parameter values specified in the formsweb.cfg file described in
Section 4.2, "Configuring Forms Services", and from query parameters in the URL
request (if any). Query parameter values override the values in the formsweb.cfg
file.
Then, the baseHTML file is downloaded to the users Web browser.
The following baseHTML starter files are available in the $ORACLE_
INSTANCE/config/FormsComponent/forms/server/ directory:
basejpi.htm: This is the baseHTML file for Java Plug-in. The Forms servlet uses
this default file if the client browser is on Windows.
base.htm: This is a baseHTML file containing the APPLET tags required to run the
Forms applet in the AppletViewer, or in any Web browser certified by Oracle with
a native JVM that is certified with Oracle Forms. See Default base.htm File for an
example.
Then, specify the actual parameter values in the formsweb.cfg file. All variables are
replaced with the appropriate parameter values at runtime.
You must then assign a value to %Archive% either in the formsweb.cfg file or in
the URL query string.
All variables must receive values at runtime. If a variable does not receive a value,
Forms Services cannot build a proper HTML file to pass back to the user's Web
browser, resulting in an error.
To streamline performance, use only one Web server as a source for Jar file
downloads. This will prevent multiple downloads of the same files from different
servers.

might want to edit the web.xml file to:
Enable extra testing options.
If you are having difficulty running Oracle Forms in your Oracle Fusion
Middleware installation, it can be useful to enable certain test options which are
not usually enabled for security reasons. To use these options, edit the web.xml file
to set the testMode frmservlet parameter to true. Then restart the Web server (or
Oracle WebLogic Managed Server). The additional options are then visible on the

# webutil.cfg - WebUtil default configuration file
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This file provides all of the configuration settings for webutil. These are
# divided into the following sections:
# 1. Logging Options
# 2. Installation Options
# 3. File Upload and Download Options
# 1. Server Side Logging Options for logging errors and log messages
# You must set logging.enabled to true to allow mid-tier logging. Without this
# mid-tier logging will not take place no matter what PL/SQL or URL options
# are supplied to switch it on. Once logging is enabled the other settings come
# into play.
#
# Details
# -------
# logging.file : Defines the file name and location of the log file.
# Note that WebUtil does no log file management. You may
# need to manually clean this file up from time to time.
# logging.enabled : Can be TRUE or FALSE
# logging.errorsonly : Can be TRUE or FALSE. Setting to true will ensure that
# only errors and not normal informational log messages
# are written to the log file. For product use this would
# normally be set to TRUE
# logging.connections: Can be TRUE or FALSE. Setting to true will cause each
# connection from a client using WebUtil to write into
# the log as it sets up.
logging.file=
logging.enabled=FALSE
logging.errorsonly=FALSE
logging.connections=FALSE
# 2. Installation Options
# WebUtil needs to download some files to the client in order to perform
# certain integration operations such as OLE or Registry Access. These files
# are downloaded to the client when webutil is being run for the first time.
# Subsequent runs will use the cached dll. You have to define the location of
# these files on the server and the location on the client.
#
# Here is a table that shows various numeric constants and their meanings. They
# are used in the install options configurations. These constants are defined
# in WEBUTIL_CORE package spec. Note that the Client OS Processor Architecture
# is typically the architecture of the JVM that will be running on the client,
# not necessarily same as the actual client OS architecture.
#
# <os> - Client OS Family <arch> - Client OS Processor Architecture
# 0 - Windows 0 - 32 bit architecture
# 1 - Linux 1 - 64 bit architecture
# 2 - SOLARIS
# 3 - HP
# 4 - AIX
# 5 - Mac
# 9 - Unknown
#
# <package> - Package Name
# 7 - WEBUTIL_OLE2
# 9 - WEBUTIL_C_API
# We don't yet have downloads for other packages. If there is a need, refer
# WEBUTIL_CORE package spec for the constants of other packages
#
# Details
# -------
# NOTE: For all settings <arch> field is optional. Without this field, the
# setting will be applicable for both 32 bit and 64 bit client OS (JVM)
# architectures.
#
# install.syslib.location.<os>.<arch> :
# The virtual path to the directory holding the webutil library files on the
# server side. This must either be an absolute URL or a URL that is relative
# to the documentbase.
# NOTE: <os> field is optional for this setting. In the absence of a setting
# that has the matching client OS and ARCH, it will use
# install.syslib.location. <arch> cannot be specified if <os> is omitted.
#
# install.syslib.location.client.<os>.<arch> :
# The path to the directory on the client machine where webutil library
# files will be downloaded. This must either be an absolute path or a path
# that is relative to client user profile or HOME. Directory will be created
# if necessary along with other required parent directories. If the path is
# not set, it will be treated as a special case where libraries will be
# downloaded to client JRE\bin (windows) or JRE/lib (unix). If this
# directory is changed, all the libraries will be redownloaded again.
#
# Please keep in mind that other Forms server could also have a similar
# location setting and thus libraries could be overwritten when the same
# client runs webutil from different forms server. It is therefore
# advisable that the location has a subdirectory that can be unique to your
# server, such as server host name. You could use $(SERVERHOST) in the
# location. This string will be replaced with the actual server host name.
# For this value to be properly populated, ensure that COMPUTERNAME is set in
# the Forms default.env file. For example, COMPUTERNAME=myMachine.
#
# install.syslib.<os>.<arch>.<package>.<n> :
# The name(s) of the libraries required for particular webutil beans. The
# format of this is name|size|version|showDownloadDialog. Multiple libraries
# can be downloaded per package. But ensure that the <n> values are
# consecutive and start at 1 for a given os, arch and package set.
install.syslib.location=/webutil
install.syslib.location.0.0=/webutil/win32
install.syslib.location.0.1=/webutil/win64
# Add/change the following if you want to specify a different client location
# where the syslib libraries can be downloaded.
# Format:
# install.syslib.location.client.<os>.<arch>=<location>
install.syslib.location.client.0.0=webutil\syslib\$(SERVERHOST)\win32
install.syslib.location.client.0.1=webutil\syslib\$(SERVERHOST)\win64
# Change size and version if necessary, like when upgrading the library.
# Normally this would not be required since most of these libraries come with
# install itself. Jacob however does not come with install
# Format:
# install.syslib.<os>.<arch>.<package>.<n>=name|size|version|showDownloadDialog
install.syslib.0.0.7.1=jacob-1.14.3-x86.dll|102400|1.14.3|true
install.syslib.0.1.7.1=jacob-1.14.3-x64.dll|117760|1.14.3|true
install.syslib.0.0.9.1=JNIsharedstubs.dll|45056|1.0|true
install.syslib.0.1.9.1=JNIsharedstubs.dll|58368|1.0|true
install.syslib.0.0.9.2=d2kwut60.dll|81920|1.0|true
install.syslib.0.1.9.2=d2kwut60.dll|102400|1.0|true
# You can also add your own libraries in here, e.g.
#install.syslib.0.0.user.1=testwebutil.dll|204872|1.0|true
#install.syslib.0.0.user.1=ffisamp.dll|40960|1.0|true
#install.syslib.0.1.user.1=ffisamp.dll|35328|1.0|true
# 3. Upload / Download Options
# For the file upload and download options you can define the default locations
# on the server that webutil can use as a work area. Optionally you can switch
# upload and download off
# Details
# -------
# transfer.database.enabled : Can be TRUE or FALSE - allows you to enable or
# disable upload and download from the database
# server.
# transfer.appsrv.enabled : Can be TRUE or FALSE - allows you to enable or
# disable upload and download from the
# application server.
# transfer.appsrv.workAreaRoot: The root of the location in which WebUtil can
# store temporary files uploaded from the client.
# If no location is specified, application server
# user_home/temp will be assumed.
# This location is always readable and writable
# no matter what the settings in
# transfer.appsrv.* are. This setting is
# required if you need the Client side
# READ/WRITE_IMAGE_FILE procedures.
# transfer.appsrv.accessControl:Can be TRUE or FALSE - allows you to indicate
# that uploads and downloads can only occur from
# the directories named in the
# transfer.appsrv.read.n and
# transfer.appsrv.write.n entries and their
# subdirectories. If this setting is FALSE,
# transfers can happen anywhere.
# transfer.appsrv.read.<n>: List of directory names that downloads can read
# from.
# transfer.appsrv.write.<n>: List of directory names that uploads can write
# to.
#NOTE: By default the file transfer is disabled as a security measure
transfer.database.enabled=FALSE
transfer.appsrv.enabled=FALSE
transfer.appsrv.workAreaRoot=
transfer.appsrv.accessControl=TRUE
#List transfer.appsrv.read.<n> directories
transfer.appsrv.read.1=c:\temp
#List transfer.appsrv.write.<n> directories
transfer.appsrv.write.1=c:\temp
# 4. Others
# Details
# -------
# BlockAllowHeartBeat : To continue the heart beat communication with the
# server when set to TRUE. By default the value is
# set to False. When False there would not be heart
# beat communication in blocking mode.
BlockAllowHeartBeat=False
