Problem: Basic Configuration Files Needed for Deploying Forms Services 10g (9.0.4) / 10g Release2 (10.1.2)
PURPOSE
-------
This article talks about the various Configuration Files Needed for Deploying
Oracle Application Server 10g/10g Release 2 Forms Services
SCOPE & APPLICATION
-------------------
This document describes the basic files you need to configure Forms Services 10g (9.0.4) / 10g Release 2 (10.1.2),
provides an overview of how Forms Services run in Oracle Application Server 10g/10gR2,
and describes the steps you need to follow to deploy OracleAS 10g/10gR2 Forms applications.
After installation is complete, you can use the information in this chapter
to change your initial configuration or make modifications as your needs change.
This article will discuss the various configuration files and the location.
Configuration Files
-------------------
This section introduces the basic files you need to configure Forms
applications. These configuration files allow you to specify parameters for your forms.
* formsweb.cfg
* base.htm, basejini.htm, basejpi.htm, and baseie.htm
* ftrace.cfg
formsweb.cfg
------------
Location(*) :
10g (9.0.4): <ORACLE_HOME>/forms90/server/formsweb.cfg
10gR2 (10.1.2): <ORACLE_HOME>/forms/server/formsweb.cfg
This is the Forms Servlet configuration file that contains the following:
Values for Forms applet and runtime command line parameters, as well as
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 baseHTML file are replaced with the appropriate
parameter values specified in the formsweb.cfg file and from query parameters in
the URL request (if any).
base.htm, basejini.htm, basejpi.htm, and baseie.htm :
-----------------------------------------------------
Location(*) :
10g (9.0.4): <ORACLE_HOME>/forms90/server/*.htm
10gR2 (10.1.2): <ORACLE_HOME>/forms/server/*.htm
The baseHTML files (base.htm, basejini.htm, basejpi.htm, and baseie.htm) are used
as templates by the Forms Servlet when generating the HTML page used to start up
a Forms application.
Oracle recommends that you make configuration changes in the formsweb.cfg file and
avoid editing the baseHTML files. If you need to change the baseHTML files, create
your own versions of Configuration Files and reference them from the formsweb.cfg file
by changing the appropriate settings.
ftrace.cfg :
-------------
Location(*) :
10g (9.0.4): <ORACLE_HOME>/forms90/server/ftrace.cfg
10gR2 (10.1.2): <ORACLE_HOME>/forms/server/ftrace.cfg
This file allows you to configure Forms Trace. Forms Trace allows you to replace the
functionality that was provided with Forms Runtime Diagnostics (FRD) and
Performance Event Collection Services (PECS), which were available in earlier
releases of Forms. Forms Trace allows you to trace the execution path
through a form (for example, steps the user took while using the form).
For more information about ftrace.cfg, see Chapter 7, ftrace.cfg.
Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J) Configuration Files
----------------------------------------------------------
By default OracleAS 10g Forms is configured for OC4J by deploying it as a J2EE
compliant application packaged in an EAR (Enterprise Archive) file called
forms90app.ear / formsapp.ear. This EAR file is deployed during the OracleAS 10g
installation process (if you choose to configure Forms Services). During deployment,
the EAR file is unpacked into the applications directory of the OC4J instance.
This section describes:
- web.xml
- Directory structure for OracleAS 10g Forms OC4J files
WEB.XML:
--------
Location(*) :
10g (9.0.4): <ORACLE_HOME>/j2ee/OC4J_BI_Forms/applications/forms90app/forms90web/WEB-INF/web.xml
10gR2 (10.1.2): <ORACLE_HOME>/j2ee/OC4J_BI_Forms/applications/formsapp/formsweb/WEB-INF/web.xml
The web.xml file defines the aliases for the Forms Servlet and the Forms Listener Servlet:
10g: "f90servlet" and "l90servlet"
10gR2: "frmservlet" and "lservlet"
Directory structure for OracleAs 10g Forms OC4J files
-----------------------------------------------------
During OracleAS 10g installation and configuration, the Forms EAR file (forms90app.ear/formsapp.ear)
is deployed to the "OC4J_BI_Forms" OC4J instance. This results in the following directory structure.
Names with a + sign are directories:
10g:
%ORACLE_HOME%/j2ee/OC4J_BI_Forms/applications/forms90app
+META-INF
-application.xml (defines the structure of the ear file)
+forms90web
+WEB-INF
-web.xml (forms & listener servlet definitions, including servlet parameters)
-orion-web.xml (virtual directory mappings and context parameter,only used in iDS)
+lib
-f90srv.jar (contains the Forms Servlet and Listener Servlet code)
10gR2:
%ORACLE_HOME%/j2ee/OC4J_BI_Forms/applications/formsapp
+META-INF
-application.xml (defines the structure of the ear file)
+formsweb
+WEB-INF
-web.xml (forms & listener servlet definitions, including servlet parameters)
-orion-web.xml (virtual directory mappings and context parameter,only used in iDS)
+lib
-frmsrv.jar (contains the Forms Servlet and Listener Servlet code)
Oracle HTTP Listener Configuration File for forms
-------------------------------------------------
This section describes the file used to configure Oracle HTTP Listener for OracleAs 10g Forms.
Location(*) :
10g (9.0.4): <ORACLE_HOME>/forms90/server/forms90.conf
10gR2 (10.1.2): <ORACLE_HOME>/forms/server/forms.conf
This file is included into oracle_apache.conf, which in turn is included
into httpd.conf (the master HTTP listener configuration file).
It defines virtual directories (aliases) and servlet mount points to map
URL requests to the Forms Servlets running in the OC4J servlet engine.
Standard Fonts and Icons File Registry.dat
------------------------------------------
This section describes the file used to configure font and icon settings for OracleAS 10g Forms.
Location(*) :
10g (9.0.4): <ORACLE_HOME>/forms90/java/oracle/forms/registry/Registry.dat
10gR2 (10.1.2): <ORACLE_HOME>/forms/java/oracle/forms/registry/Registry.dat
This file allows you to change the default font, font mappings, and icons that
OracleAS 10g Forms Services uses.
Environment Variables and Registry Settings file default.env
-----------------------------------------------------------
Location(*) :
10g (9.0.4): <ORACLE_HOME>/forms90/server/default.env
10gR2 (10.1.2): <ORACLE_HOME>/forms/server/default.env
This file contains environment settings for Forms runtime and can be found in the
same directory as the formsweb.cfg file. On UNIX, default.env should include the
PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
(*) Note: In 10g Release 2 various names have changed, see:
Note 332556.1 OracleAS Forms Services Name Changes in 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2)
