Why do I get this error
message " FRM-10142 the HTTP Listener is not running on xxxx at
port 8888. Please start the listener or check your runtime
preferences,” when I try to run my
FORMS?"
You only get this error
message if you either install Oracle 9iAS Release 2 or Oracle 9iDS on
your windows machine.
Unlike Forms 6i, Forms 9i
does not support client-server. A "FMB" run from the Forms
Builder is a 'web deployed form.' To do this Forms 9i Builder needs to
integrate with some form of HTTP Listener. This is provided by another
component of the Oracle 9iDS Release 2 install - the OC4J (Oracle
Container For J2EE).
If there is no HTTP
Listener started FRM- 10142 occurs Once an OC4J instance has been
started it acts as lightweight HTTP Listener enabling the developer to
test the forms / reports application modules in a true web (even if
only intranet) architecture.
If you install Oracle9iAS
Release 2 , then you are using the HTTP listener. Make sure that
the HTTP server is on and test the listener. To test the HTTP
listener, open your browser and type: http://machine_name.your_domain:port
where the port number is either 8888 or one of the 777n ports.
If you install Oracle9iDS ,
then you are not using the HTTP server. You will be using an OC4J
instance which will act as a listener. In order to start the OC4J
instance (listener) do the following:
Click on Start >
Program > Oracle9i Developer Suite > FORMS Developer > Start
OC4J Instance or you can find and run the "startinst.bat"
file in the Developer 9i home.
