After installing E-Business Suite R12.1.3 on Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, logged into R12 on the server and launched forms.

The following error appeared:

FRM-92050: Failed to connect to the Server: /forms/lservlet: -1

Solution:

The security settings on the Internet Explorer browser on Windows Server 2003 is set higher by default.

Added the name of the server to the Local Intranet group in IE’s security settings.

Reset Local Intranet security level to Medium-Low.

Posted by on February 8, 2009 Comments Off on PDF reports not appearing in browser

Problem:

After running a report in PeopleSoft with PDF output, when the output file is clicked in Process Monitor, a dialog box appears prompting you to save the PDF file to the hard drive. The expected behaviour is that the PDF report will appear in the browser window.

Solution:

1. In Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu and then click Internet Options. Click the Advanced tab. Then click Restore Defaults.

Alternatively, uncheck ‘Do not save encrypted pages to disk.

2. The digital certificates are incorrectly configured. Regenerate and setup the correct certificates.

Resolving Yellow Bar Issue

Posted by on July 4, 2007 No comments

Problem: When the Oracle Application BRAVO instance is loaded, the ‘yellow bar’ appears when the forms are loaded.

Solutions:

1. Refer to Metalink Doc ID: 162488.1, “Section 6: Troubleshooting and those Yellow Warning Bars”

Navigate to Start > All Programs > JInitiator Control Panel 1.1.8.16

Check “Show Java Console”

Exit and reload BRAVO instance.

Java Console shows no errors.

Try:

(a) Uninstall Jinitiator and clear browser cache

(b) Log back into Applications to get the new plugin, (oajinit.exe) including the new identitydb.obj

(c) Install the Jinitiator on the Client PC and then Log into the Oracle Applications to download the new signed JAR files

IE Tools > Internet Options > Security

Trusted > Custom Level

Download unsigned ActiveX controls: Prompt

Automatic Prompting for File Downloads: Enable

Had to copy jinit11816.exe manually off the server and install on client

Try:

1. Source the environment and recreate certificate:

adjkey -initialize

2. Repackage JInitiator:

adjbuild.sh /u0/bravo/bravocomn/util/jinitiator /u0/bravo/bravocomn/util/jinitiator/jinit11816.exe

3. Run adadmin and generate product jars (FORCE REGENERATION)

4. Then:

(a) Uninstall JInitiator, clear browser cache, and jcache

(b) Log back into Applications to get the new plugin, (oajinit.exe) including the new identitydb.obj

(c) Install the Jinitiator on the Client PC and then Log into the Oracle Applications to download the new signed JAR files

Rename C:Program FilesOracleidentitydb.obj

Then retry from step 4 above

Try:

1. Removed identitydb.obj from /home/applmgr

2.Source the environment and recreate certificate:

adjkey -initialize

3. Repackage JInitiator:

adjbuild.sh /u0/bravo/bravocomn/util/jinitiator /u0/bravo/bravocomn/util/jinitiator/jinit11816.exe

4. Run adadmin and generate product jars (FORCE REGENERATION)

5. Then:

(a) Cleared browser cache

(b) Removed files from C:Documents and SettingsjeffersonbOracle Jar Cache

Try:

1. Copied identitydb.obj.20070703 to identitydb.obj in /home/applmgr

2. Repackage JInitiator:

adjbuild.sh /u0/bravo/bravocomn/util/jinitiator /u0/bravo/bravocomn/util/jinitiator/jinit11816.exe

3. Run adadmin and generate product jars (FORCE REGENERATION)

4. Then:

(a) Cleared browser cache

(b) Removed files from C:Documents and SettingsjeffersonbOracle Jar Cache

(c) Launched Oracle Applications and loaded form

Solution 1:

Copied $OA_HTML/oajinit.exe off the server and onto the client machine.

Unzip oajinit.exe in a directory and run adjbuild/jinit11816.exe.

The following solution worked:

Refer to:

Subject:  How to use,create and /or update Digital Certificates for 11i Applications

Doc ID:   Note:365735.1

How to share Digital Certificate across multiple instances

———————————————————-

1. Copy Associated Files

+ Copy from alpha to bravo the following files respectively:

a. ADCERT.txt (certificate directive file)

$APPL_TOP/admin/out/adcert.txt

b. ADSIGN.txt (used to pass arguments to JRI for signing JAR files.)

$APPL_TOP/admin/adsign.txt

c. APPLTOP.cer (Certificate file that gets imported into the identitydb.obj)

$APPL_TOP/admin/appltop.cer

d. OAJINIT.exe (Repackaged Jinitiator executable that includes identitydb.obj)

$OA_HTML/oajinit.exe

Note: It will not be necessary to repackage your JInitiator file oajinit.exe if you copy it over.

e. IDENTITYDB.obj (Identity Database File used to sign JAR files on the server)

$HOME/identitydb.obj

DO NOT repackage Jinitiator.

2. Regenerate JAR files on bravo

+ Run ADADMIN to Regenerate (sign) the JAR files on each middle tier

a. Launch ADADMIN (Ensure you are APPLMGR with permissions to write to adadmin.log)

b. Choose option number 1 to Generate Files, then 5 to regenerate JAR Files making sure to enter ‘yes for force regeneration, which will resign every JAR file using the new digital certificate that you just copied over from the alpha instance.

In Summary:

Started to get yellow bar:
1. Deleted C:Program FilesOracleidentitydb.obj
2. Deleted Profile Oracle Cache
3. Uninstalled all JInitiators, verified by checking C:Program FilesOracle
4. Manually reinstalled JInitiator (oajinit.exe) from november instance – yellow bar still appearing on logon
5. Tried regenerating JAR files using adadmin – completed with error
6. Regenerated certificate using adjkey -initialize, then reran adadmin to regenerate JAR files – yellow bar still appearing on logon
7. Cleared browser cache and jcache – C:Program FilesOracleJInitiator 1.1.8.16jcache – yellow bar still appearing on logon
8. Manually copied identitydb.obj from /home/applmgr to  C:Program FilesOracle – WORKING

Troubleshooting Launching Oracle Applications

Posted by on August 10, 2006 No comments

Problem: Unable to get application to launch.

Solution: Try the following:

Step 1:        Check the hosts file (either /etc/hosts or C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32 DRIVERSETCHOSTS) and ensure that the IP address and host is in the file.

Step 2:        Ensure that the local addresses are bypassed in the browser.

Step 3:        Ensure that the instance is started on the server.

Load: Class Oracle/Apps/Fnd/Formsclient/ Formslauncher.Class Not Found.

Posted by on August 3, 2006 No comments

Problem: When accessing any menu that launches core forms, get this error:

load: class oracle/apps/fnd/formsClient/FormsLauncher.class not found

Solution: Check the proxy server settings in the browser and ensure that addresses to bypass are correct.

Use the ‘hostname*’ format in the proxy server settings.

From Metalink article Doc ID:  Note:291698 (Subject: FormsLauncher.class Not Found Error When Attempting to Access Forms in Applications)

Steps for resolution:

  1. Launch a browser window.
  2. Go to Connection Settings for the Browser
  3. Select the Proxy exception list, the list of sites you have specified, for which no proxy is required
  4. Verify / validate all entries in this list.
  5. For e.g., you will need to add an entry like *.oracle.com instead of oracle.com to exclude all sites having oracle.com in the domain name
  6. Save the changes.
  7. Login and access the Applications forms in a new browser window.
