Default Parameters for F9iUserTest

The F9iUserTest reports the user-specific statistics pertaining to the Oracle Forms 9i server. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the F9iUserTest.

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. 

  • In the FORMWORKDIR text box, specify the path to the install directory of the Oracle Forms 9i server. Typically, this will be <ORAHOMEDIR>/Forms90/.

  • In the FORMSRUNTIME text box, the value, "ifweb90.exe", is displayed. This is the Forms server runtime executable. 

  • In the ORAHOMEDIR text box, specify the install directory of the Oracle 9i server. This specification becomes more important when more than one Oracle 9i AS installation exists on a host. 

  • For Oracle 9i Forms monitoring, eG requires tracing to be enabled for the server. The trace files corresponding to completed sessions are automatically cleaned by the eG agent. The frequency with which these files are to be cleared from the server is to be specified in the TRCCLEANUPTIME textbox. The default value displayed in the TRCCLEANUPTIME text box is 30 minutes. 

  • Once the necessary values have been entered, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with "$" indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to "xyz" and $port will be changed to "80" when configuring a test.

 

Note:

Before attempting to monitor a Forms server, ensure that its tracing capability is enabled. To know how to enabling tracing for a Forms server, refer to the section on "Configuring Oracle Forms Servers" in the eG Installation Guide.
