Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Oracle Client-Server / WebForms over VPN
At my site, the network team is rolling out VPNs to replace FrameRelay and leased circuits for connectivity from international locations to the Head Office.
Apparently, the VPN implementation "times out" the client if it detects some
errors or timeout when going through the Internet.
We are concerned about how Client-Server and WebForms based applications
would handle it.
Apparently, Developer 1.6.1 (Forms 4.5.10) WebForms [in Oracle Applications
R11.0.3] returns an FRM-99999 error on Network Timeout almost immediately.
I had logged a TAR and the Support analyst replied that a configurable timeout
is available in Forms 6i servlet mode. However, in Apps R11, we are still
running
Forms 4.5
I am looking for notes on experiences in
Oracle Client-Server [Forms 4.5 Client, Discoverer User Client,
Applications
Desktop Integrator client]
Oracle WebForms
Other applications [Lotus Notes ? ]
At the present we are considering options like Citrix MetaFrame and Nfuse [the
Metaframe / Nfuse servers co-located with the Database server to run the
"client" or "webform"]. These also have limitations [e.g. uploading or
downloading
attachments to the users's actual PC or viewing attachments requiring the
viewer installed on the MetaFrame/Nfuse server].
