RE: The NT forms60 service in iAS 1.0.2.2.

Patrice,

When you run the forms server using the desktop shortcut who are you logged in as?

Can the local administrator account map to the mapped drives? ie, what happens if you login to the server as the local admin account and run the forms server from the desktop?

Alternatively, what happens if you tell the forms server to run as a domain account rather than the local admin account?

Regards,
Bruce Reardon

When I run the forms server on one of the servers using a shortcut from the desktop (i.e. from the command line), Web clients can run Web form applications.

When I start the forms server service, however, I see the following errors on the client:

This is an old problem, revisiting it hoping to fix it.

Basically, we use mapped drives to point to .fmx and .html files, therefore the
Forms server cannot be run as the NT SYSTEM account. The Forms Server service
has been set to run as the local Administrator account.

When I start the Forms60Server service, the services applet reports no problems.

>From the remote browser however, when I bring up a Web Application, the HTML

loads properly, a small window opens, and then I see error FRM-92050: Failed to
connect to the Server <hostname>:9001

When the Forms Server is started from the command line with port=9001, the Web
application appears no problem.

I would like to run the Forms Server as a service, the OEM Forms Listener monitoring guidelines say I should start it as a service.

Misc. notes:
formsweb.cfg file says port=9001.
forms60_timeout does not exist in the registry. Local Admin has the log in as a service user right. The Jinit version had been set to 1.1.8.16, but we are using 1.1.8.14 --> I changed formsweb.cfg to reflect this. I clicked on the link from technet to download 1.1.8.16, but it leads nowhere. Also the text just before the link appears to have a typo, it refers to 1.1.8.17.
