Accessing Forms in Linux Client

How to access Oracle Applications Forms Using Linux Client?

1. Check the version of JDK?
login as applmgr user and source env file
$ cat $FND_TOP/resource/appsweb_.cfg | grep sun_plugin
you should get result in the below manner
sun_plugin_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_17
sun_plugin_version=1.4.2_17

2. go to www.sun.com and download and install either jdk or jre of the
same version as above it will be normally installed in directory /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_17

3. After installing create link for java as below
$ ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_17/bin/java /usr/bin/java

4. verify the version of java
$ java -version ( result should show the new java version )

5. In case if you don't get the exactly same version of jdk or jre
(Ex:in cfg file it is showing as 1.4.2_4 but only 1.4.2_17 is available)
you need to modify sun_plugin_mimetype & sun_plugin_version values
in the forms server config files at both locations
i.e, $FND_TOP/resource/appsweb_.cfg &
$COMMON_TOP/html/bin/appsweb_.cfg

6. by default the ' plugin ' variable value is ' jinit ' in case if you
download jdk then change it to jdk other wise leave it default

7. create a softlink to java plugin from mozilla plugins directory as below
$ cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_17/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
libjavaplugin_oji.so
8. Bounce the forms server

9 launch mozilla and access the oracle applications ...
..........viola now you can access the forms in linux client
