Question

FRM-92101: There was a failure in the Forms Server during startup

Asked by: jaramill

I have come across the error (in the question title) while saving records from a form.  Now I've tried it when running my forms with my PC acting as the server (Oracle 9i OAS) and the client (via Internet Explorer browser), and also with a separate server (Oracle Application Server 10g) and my PC as the client.  This only happens when I'm inserting a new record from a secondary form that had data populated from the calling form.

For example, and application record is created then saved.  Then a button to call the corporation screen is pressed and details of the application populate fields in the corp screen.  At that point I add more data and the save.  This is when the application crashes, but the browser remains open.  Now if I modify and existing corporation from an existing application, when I save everything runs normal.

Some other details are:

Java Exception:
oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException: Forms session <18> aborted: unable to communicate with runtime process.

Now I looked at the possible solution by Oracle: "This can be confirmed by looking for a log message like "Unable to switch to Workin Directory: <workingDirectory>" in the application.log file.  I did look at the log, and saw no error like this but did see other errors


05/02/01 18:57:41 forms90web: Forms session <31> aborted: unable to communicate with runtime process.
05/02/01 18:57:41 forms90web: Forms session <31> exception stack trace:

Then saw this in the error log

that it was looking for other Java files and also some gif files (listval.gif).


The point is, is that my Oracle Home is set properly yet this error still occurs.

Any clues as to what this could be?  This is a showstopper for my app and I can't release it into QA let alone production.

I think you will need a Patch

What is New in Forms6i Patch 6?
The following are changes that were made for Forms6i Patch 6.
Enhanced Network Resilience. Currently in Oracle Forms 6i patch 5, if a network
failure lasts more than a few seconds, then the Oracle Forms session is lost and you
receive the following error message, which results in the loss of any unsaved
information:
"FRM-92100: Your connection to the Server has been interrupted. This may be
the result of a network error or a failure on the Server. You will need to
reestablish your session."
For patch 6 (as a fix to bug 1762055), when using the listner servlet, the client has
the ability to distinguish network failures from server (Oracle Forms runtime)
failures, and in the case of a network failure, attempts to reestablish the network
connection. The client tries to reconnect as many times as you specify in the
<networkRetries> parameter, and for each attempt, a message such as the following
is displayed in the right-hand side of the status bar:
"2/30"
where 2 indicates the second attempt and 30 is the <networkRetries> value.
If the client is unable to talk to the server after retrying the number of times
specified in the <networkRetries> parameter, it aborts the Oracle Forms session and
displays the following message:
"FRM-92102: A network error has occurred. The Forms Client has attempted
to reestablish its connection to the Server <number> times without success.
Please check the network connection and try again later."
If there is a failure in the server (that is, the Forms runtime process unexpectedly
terminates or someone has stopped it), the client immediately aborts the Oracle
Forms session and displays the following message:
"FRM-92101: A failure has occurred on the Server. You will need to
reestablish your session.

I'm using Oracle 9i Developer Suite Forms, not 6i.

 

by: jaramillPosted on 2005-02-02 at 15:55:29ID: 13209390

Found my problem bug and solution. In another thread someone suggested looking at the directory Forms90 and look at the latest dump files. In there it showed where the Form was crashing.

In my case it was happeninng in a POST-INSERT trigger. This trigger had an update statement but for some reason (don't know why), the previous programmer used the FOR UPDATE clause to update one record. So I removed the FOR UPDATE clause and voila!!!

My records commited and the web-form did NOT crash! What a relief.
