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.

The JDK or JRE must be in the end user’s PATH environment variable.

Keep in mind that JDK 11.0.4+ is only supported with Forms when using FSAL.

Each end user must either have a JDK or JRE installed.

Each end user must be provided a jar file, frmsal.jar, from the application server in which Oracle Forms is installed.

A couple of web-based parameters will need to be added to the application server’s formsweb.cfg file (more information is covered in this article).

Before you can get started with using FSAL, the following prerequisites need to be met before you can run Oracle Forms using Forms Standalone Launcher: Prerequisites Users may be able to access the application by either running a command from Command Prompt or by running a CMD script on the desktop similar to the days when Oracle Forms was a client/server application back in the Forms 6i days. 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.
