Yellow bar appears on forms

Posted by on September 13, 2008 No comments

Problem:

When the Java forms are launched, a yellow bar appears at the bottom of the form with the message ‘Warning: applet window’

Cause:

Digital certificate recreated while applying patch (see “adogjf() Unable to generate jar files under JAVA_TOP”)

Solution:

Log on to the server as the applmgr user and perform the following steps:

  1. cd $APPL_TOP/admin
  2. adjkey –initialize
  3. adjbuild.sh /u0/oracle/testcomn/util/jinitiator/ /u0/oracle/testcomn/util/jinitiator/jinit11816.exe
  4. Force regeneration of the JAR files
  5. De-install JInitiator from Windows client
  6. Load E-Business Suite and launch the Java forms
