iAS 10.1.3.0

Friday, September 28th, 2007

If you try to log into iAS 10.1.3.0 and you get the following error:

This OC4J is configured to make JMX connections via RMIS and fall back to RMI if the RMIS port is not configured. The RMIS connection on the OC4J instance home on Application Server iashome.asdes is configured but a connection could
not be established. The JMX proto is specified by the oracle.oc4j.jmx.internal.connection.proto property in opmn.xml

go to metalink note 365062.1 if you are running iAS 10.1.3.0 and db 10.2.0.1. on the same machine. It worked for me

Or install 10.1.3.1, it’s alot better….

Existing state of … has been invalidated

Monday, March 27th, 2006

I get this error every now and then when I push a button in a Form to run a report on a view that bases its where clause on variables in a package (think of usernames, dates etc), even though in TOAD all my views and packages are valid, and running the report from the builder works just fine too.
Usually trying again compiles the package and makes it work, but not this time. After trying all sort of things, restarting the reports server did the trick. No idea why though, the reports server makes a new connection for every report, so it’s not pooling that causes this.

FRM-92101 error

Wednesday, January 4th, 2006

Under windows this is not needed but a Forms application under Linux apparently needs an LD_LIBRARY_PATH in its env file to find libraries like libhpi.so
Mine looked like this:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u02/app/oracle/as101202/lib/:/u02/app/oracle/
as101202/jdk/jre/lib/i386/server/:/u02/app/oracle/as101202/jdk/jre/
lib/i386/native_threads/:/u02/app/oracle/as101202/jdk/jre/lib/i386/:
/u02/app/oracle/product/as101202/jre/1.4.2/lib/i386/client/:/u02/app/
oracle/product/as101202/jre/1.4.2/lib/i386/native_threads/

Without it I got an FRM-92101 error, and in the application logfile in /j2ee/OC4J_BI_Forms/application-deployments/formsapp
/OC4J_BI_Forms_default_island_1/application.log
I saw this:
06/01/04 14:56:19 formsweb: Forms session <9> aborted: runtime process failed during startup with errors /u02/app/oracle/product/as101202/bin/frmweb: error while loading shared libraries: libhpi.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Compiling forms on linux (no graphical interface)

Wednesday, January 4th, 2006

Today someone needed my help compiling forms under linux. We tried compiling whilst being logged in with Putty, but received the following error:

FRM-91500: Unable to start/complete the build.

Metalink came up with note 266731.1 which was too much of a hassle for me to read (I prefer short and concise solutions) and so I searched the oracle forums and found this:

http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=697343򪏿

The solution was as follows:

export TERM=vt220
export DISPLAY=:0.0
frmcmp.sh module=
.fmb userid=/ @ module_type=FORM compile_all=yes batch=yes

and voila!

HTTP server will not start

Sunday, January 1st, 2006

Whenever you can’t start the Oracle Http Server and receive an error saying this:
“The opmn request has failed. From opmn: HTTP/1.1 204 No Content”
It could be a syntax error in one of your configuration files.

When you are absolutely sure that that cannot be it, look in /Apache/Apache/logs and delete the httpd.pid file. It is left when the server is not stopped properly, for instance when you reboot a machine.
