Setting up your project in the forms subdirectory

Edward lzMar 25 2025 — edited Mar 25 2025

Hi All!

I would like to know if there is anywhere a description of the sequence of steps for setting up your project in a subfolder of the forms folder.

For example, I have a project, it should be located in the folder C:\oracle\Middle\forms\tech

How to configure it correctly so that when I click on a link in the browser (something like: http://server-2022:9001/forms/frmservlet?form=tech.fmx&config=tech) , I download a jnlp file and launch it, which will launch the project I need?

I have already set up such a project several times... but it never worked right away.

How I didю In enterprise manager:

EM → Weblogic Domain → Forms → Forms1 → Environment Configuration

1. Dublicate File like tech.env

2. In field Show choosed tech.env

3. for FORMS_PATH set value: C:\oracle\Middle\forms\tech

4. Apply

5. EM → Weblogic Domain → Forms → Forms1 → Web Configuration → Create Like → Section to Dublicate: Webstart and gave the name “tech”

6. Choosed section “tech”

and below set envFile: tech.env and form: tech.fmx

7. Apply

Then I restarted all services: nodeManager, Weblogic, Forms. However, the project does not start. Then I tried making changes in formsweb.cfg in other places... at some point the project started working... but I don’t have a clear algorithm.

If I go to such url jnlp-file is downloading: http://server-2022:9001/forms/frmservlet?config=webstart

As far as I understand, to download a jnlp file it is not necessary to run reports and OHS?

Perhaps my problems with reports also stem from incorrect project settings. How to configure it correctly?
