frm-92101 Forms Server failure (only after 60 sessions are started)

I get an error FRM-92101:There was a failure in the Forms Server during startup. This could happen due to invalid configuration. Please look into the web-server log file for details.

Everything works fine till the 60th user connects to my application. After which i get the above error. Now i havenot set any limit any where in any configuration files for 60 or 59 users.

Can anyone shed some light on the matter. Also each user takes around 15MB memory from my server, this i believe is due to mod_perl . But still i have ample memory left. Application server gets 2 GB memory and after 60 users connect i still have another 1GB of memory left.
Thank you
PhillC

It sounds like you are on a Windows server. We ran into the same problem. The fix is to change a registry key.

Launch regedit
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
->System
->Current Control Set
->Control
->Session Manager
->SubSystems

In the Windows key change the last value in the "SharedSection=" to 1024.

Then:
From the control panel ( Middle tier) , click on the OPMN for middle tier -> LOG ON ->
Check Allow Service to Interact with Desktop

You'll need to reboot after that.

Goog Luck

Thanks Phil. It works now!! I understood about the registry too but did not implement the 1024 part to the registry . However i did check the Allow user interaction with desktop in the login tab of the oracle process manager and that seems to have done the trick .

Once again thanks a lot buddy

Phil ,

One thing i dont understand is how checking the Allow Service to Interact with desktop has solved my problem . Could you shed some light on this please.

Thank you

I'm glad that worked out. I wish I understood it myself. We had a VERY difficult time even getting Oracle to suggest those changes, let alone explaining the details of them.

I believe it has something to do with allowing non-interactive processes to access the memory space allocated to interactive processes, so that additional sessions can be created. That is just a guess though.

So you only checked the interact with desktop setting, and left the registry key alone?

Hello.

The third value in the SharedSection=1024,3072,512 helps you only if you start oracle processes as background processes from the services.msc. If you started the oracle processes from the command line, than the memory would be consumed from the io-desktop heap (this means - the second value). By checking Allow service to interact with desktop, you allow that service to consume memory from the io-desktop heap. If you modified the third value, you should have restarted the computer.
All the Best.

Hi,

My current value is SharedSection=1024,3072,512.

Can I change this to 1024,3072,1024?.

From where I get OPMN configuration?.

This is for reference purpose only.

1)backgournd -
Os - linux redhat
appl - DS 10g

2 )wht i did
i think This problem is related to the formsweb.cfg file.

i was using Toad ftp while uploading and downloading the file and file get currupted.

this file should be uploaded in Default format(not in ACII or Binary format)

if possible pls do the changes in file in linux platform.

do the original setting as it is and then configure the file

Hi PhillC

I get an error FRM-92101:There was a failure in the Forms Server during startup. This could happen due to invalid configuration. Please look into the web-server log file for details.

Everything works fine till the report out put (PDF) generation is more than 4 pages, if out put of report is less than 4 or 4 pages report generation works fine, same report if I use like client server it works fine for more than 4pages, and for the matter others reports also works fine for more than 4 pages out put reports in the same server (AS). But only this reports getting this problem.

Can you please advice where can be wrong. Thanks

I got the same here,
I was running an application on my pc then I got a problem with some form, that I had to press ctrl-alt-del and killed the process.
then the problem was occurring with the same form only.
solution:
Iam useing hp unix for db and app servers (forms 10g).
I logged in to ias
then restarted all the components.
it worked.

Hi,

i am sorry for the later reply, while i am searching solution for this error i found this question. since i resolved my problem i am sending you the solution.

i think there is a problem with your default environment, please check your default.env in your forms server. since i resolved the same problem when i am getting the error frm-92101 forms server failure durign startup.

D:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\server i this path u have default.env
check the oracle_home and forms_path whether u define properly or not. if not change them and save it.

thanks & regards
