How to install WebUtil on 10.1.2.x OAS on Windows ?
Solution
1)- Download Webutil files from the following link: - Webutil version 1.0.6
( With Oracle developersuite 10.1.2.2 or higher , webutil 10.1.2.2.x will be aut
omatically installed !)
It is not recommented to use with Forms 10.1.2.2 or higher webutil version 1.0.6
!
- WebUtil Demo from OTN
- The JACOB libraries version 1.8
2)- Copy the following files into %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\webutil :
(a) jacob.dll ---> included in jacob_18.zip
(b) ffisamp.dll ---> included in Webutil_demo.zip
(c) d2kwut60.dll ---> included in webutil_106.zip, under webutil subfolder
(d) JNIsharedstubs.dll ---> included in webutil_106.zip, under webutil subfolder
(e) sign_webutil.bat ---> included in webutil_106.zip, under webutil subfolder
Note: If files already exist then do not replace
3)- Copy the following files to %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\java :
a) webutil_106\java \forms_base_ie.js
b) webutil_106\java \forms_ie.js
c) webutil_106\java \frmwebutil.jar
d) jacob_18\jacob.jar
Note: If files already exist then do not replace
4)-Sign the "jacob.jar & frmwebutil.jar
- start the command prompt - cd %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\java
- set JDK_HOME=%ORACLE_HOME%\JDK - set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\jdk\bin;%PATH%
- set JINIT_HOME= C:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22 - %ORACLE_HOME% \f
orms\webutil\sign_webutil.bat %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\java\jacob.jar (For Jacob.jar)
- %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\webutil\sign_webutil.bat %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\java\frmwebut
il.jar) (For frmwebutil.jar)
For Example:
E:> cd 10ghome\forms\java
E:\ 10ghome\forms\java> set JDK_HOME=E:\10GHOME\JDK
E:\ 10ghome\forms\java> set path=E:\10GHOME\jdk\bin;%PATH%
E:\ 10ghome\forms\java> set JINIT_HOME = C:\Program Files\Oracle\JInitiator 1.3.
1.22
E:\ 10ghome\forms\java>E:\10GHOME\forms\webutil\sign_webutil.bat E:\10GHOME\form
s\java\jacob.jar (For Jacob.jar)
E:\ 10ghome\forms\java>E:\10GHOME\forms\webutil\sign_webutil.batE:\10GHOME\forms
\java\frmwebutil.jar
(For frmwebutil.jar)
Here make sure you have given the complete path for jarsigner tool and also JDK_
HOME is set accordingly.
5)-Copy the following files from webutil_106\server to %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\serve
r
- webutil.cfg
- webutilbase.htm
- webutiljini.htm
-webutiljpi.htm
Note: If files already exist then do not replace
6)- The following variable must be defined in %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\server\default
.env:
WEBUTIL_CONFIG=\forms\server\webutil.cfg
7). The following jars must be included in the CLASSPATH in forms/server/default

.env:
%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\java\frmall.jar;%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar;%ORA
CLE_HOME%\forms\java\jacob.jar;%ORACLE_HOME%\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
8)- The configuration file formsweb.cfg should have the following section :
[webutil
WebUtilArchive=frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar
WebUtilLogging=off
WebUtilLoggingDetail=normal
WebUtilErrorMode=Alert
WebUtilDispatchMonitorInterval=5
WebUtilTrustInternal=true
WebUtilMaxTransferSize=16384
baseHTMLjinitiator=webutiljini.htm
baseHTMLjpi=webutiljpi.htm
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar
archive=frmall.jar
lookAndFeel=oracle
(Note that in default section we have to change the fallowing parameter
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar to archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmwebutil.jar,ja
cob.jar)
09)- The following virtual path must be defined in the %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\serve
r\forms.conf file:
AliasMatch ^/forms/webutil/(..*) "%ORACLE_HOME%/forms/webutil/$1"
10)- Open webutil.cfg file and add the following line
Add the following line : install.syslib.0.user.1=ffisamp.dll409601.0true below t
hese lines : install.syslib.0.7.1=jacob.dll942081.0true
install.syslib.0.9.1=JNIsharedstubs.dll655821.0true
install.syslib.0.9.2=d2kwut60.dll1925121.0true
12)- In the webutil.cfg file ensure you have the lines
transfer.appsrv.workAreaRoot=d:\temp transfer.appsrv.accessControl=FALSE (Defaul
t is TRUE)transfer.database.enabled=TRUE (Default is FALSE)transfer.appsrv.enabl
ed=TRUE (Default is FALSE)13)- Run the script "create_webutil_db.sql" (included
in webutil_106.zip file or in %ORACLE_HOME\forms ).
14)- Open forms builder and connect.Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K) form and webu
til.pll ,then generate the fmx and plx using (Control-T).
(location of webutil.pll is %ORACLE_HOME\forms)
15) Attach the webutil.pll with form
16) Attach the webutil.olb with form (Open the object library drag the Webutil o
bject into
objects groups)
17) Now replace Get_File_Name, Host and Text_IO with Client_Get_File_Name, Clien
t_Host and Client_Text_IO.
18) Save and Compile the form.
Webutil Documentation 18)-You may also run the diagnostic test form described in
the following note for furthur checking on the Webutil configuration : Note 553
849.1Webutil Diagnostic Test Form For Checking Webutil Configuration
If Error Message After the configuration (oracle.forms.webutil.file.FileFunction
s bean not foundWEBUTIL_FILE.FILE_SELECTION_DIALOG_INT will not work)
The problem I found was that for some reason, in the formsweb.cfg file, the webu
til section parameters are not all recognized. So if the parameter is in the def
ault section of the file and then it is subsequently redefined within the webuti
l section, the duplicate parameters in the webutil section are igrnored. Therefo
re, I have to update archive_jini to archive_jini=frmall_jini.jar,frmwebutil.jar

,jacob.jar (In default Section) and things came up working for me.
