PITSS.CON is also able to be used with Forms Standalone Launcher. If your Oracle Forms application needs to run a report with Oracle Reports, Oracle BI Publisher, JasperReports, etc, a web browser will be launched to run the report using your default web browser. This will allow you to run the app independently from the web browser. You may now log into your application normally. All you will need to do is create the script to run the same java command in item #3 above and place the script on the users’ desktops.Īfter launching the java command either from Command Prompt or from a CMD script, your Oracle Forms login screen will now appear. Example: java -jar C:\Users\Pitss\Downloads\frmsal.jar -url “”Īlternatively, you may also configure a batch or CMD script to be set up on end users’ PCs to easily run the java command above.Run the following command to call the app (in this example we will have our application section called “app_fsal”): Make sure all end users have either a JDK or JRE in their PATH environment variable. Now that your Oracle Forms environment has been configured, your end users may now run your Forms application(s) using Forms Standalone Launcher:ġ. Launching Your Oracle Forms Application with FSAL If you have not already done so, locate your frmsal.jar file in $ORACLE_HOME/forms/java and provide this to all end users whom will run the Forms application(s). Add the following parameters to the end of your application configuration section:ĥ.


However, if you do so, this must be done before the section.ģ. If you are not using separate configuration sections for your applications, you may configure this within the configuration section. The name of your application section will be surrounded by brackets such as. Locate your configuration section for your applications. Open up formsweb.cfg in $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_FORMS/applications/formsapp_12.2.1/configĢ. Once all prerequisites have been met, you may proceed with setting up your Forms and Reports environment to use FSAL:ġ.

FSAL is a browser-less solution which allows you to run your Oracle Forms applications without needing to use a web browser. Starting in Oracle Forms 12c, Oracle has certified two other ways to launch Oracle Forms besides using the NPAPI plugin: Java Web Start (JWS) and Forms Standalone Launcher (FSAL). More information on this may be found in our article here. Earlier we reported that the NPAPI plugin embedded in web browsers to run Oracle Forms applications are not only out of support but also have been removed from web browsers such as Chrome and Firefox.
