Forms 10g reliability

Hi all

We are currently using Oracle iAS 10g Forms & Reports Services to publish a
Forms 10g application over the net.

The server is W2k Pro SP4 and the Database is Oracle 9i (9.2.0.4) also on a
W2k Pro SP4.

The application is used by 30 users spread al over the country and they are
connected through ADSL lines. They use the application during the full day
and they should logon in to the application just once a day.

The problem we are having is that when the ADSL line goes down for a short
period of time, the application aborts showing the FRM-92100 Error: Your
connection to the server was interrupted.

Is there any way to set up the Forms Application Server to make it more
reliable against these shortages?

Thanks for yours suggestions.

Cecilio.

This has nothing to do with reliability.

I don't think there's anything you can do: any stateful application
would choke if you interrupted the network. Whatever network (yes,
even 1Gbps cat-6 UTP).

One possibility is to use Citrix. In that case your user process runs on the
server amd I think Citrix allows
you to reconnect to that process without losing work. But you will need more
resources on the server side.

As far as I remember the Forms applet parameter "networkRetries"
controls the number of attempts (or seconds) before throwing a
connection failure. Try to find it on the documentation.

Thanks for the advice.

I will try and give feedback later on.
