Enables Oracle Forms optimization in native mode, also known as socket mode. Oracle Forms is browser plug-in that accesses Oracle Forms and Oracle E-Business application suite content from within the browser.

None

Oracle Forms native mode optimization is enabled by default. Disable Oracle Forms only if your network users do not use Oracle applications.

Before enabling Oracle Forms optimization, you need to know the mode in which Oracle Forms is running at your organization. For detailed information, see the SteelHead Management Console User’s Guide.

The SteelHead decrypts, optimizes, and then re-encrypts Oracle Forms native, HTTP, and HTTPS mode traffic.

If you want to optimize HTTP mode traffic, you must also enable HTTP mode. For details, see protocol oracle-forms http-enable

Use Oracle Forms optimization to improve Oracle Forms traffic performance. RiOS 5.5.x or higher and later supports 6i, which comes with Oracle Applications 11i. RiOS v6.0 and later supports 10gR2, which comes with Oracle E-Business Suite R12.

Optionally, you can enable IPSec encryption to protect Oracle Forms traffic between two SteelHead appliances over the WAN.

The Oracle Forms optimization also supports Oracle Forms over SSL. To configure Oracle Forms over SSL specify the preoptimization policy in the in-path rules as oracle-forms+ssl.

The no command option disables Oracle Forms optimization.
