protocol oracle-forms http-enable
Enables Oracle Forms HTTP mode optimization. Oracle Forms is a browser plug-in that accesses Oracle forms and Oracle E-Business application suite content from within the browser.
Syntax
[no] protocol oracle-forms http-enable
Parameters
None
Usage
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.
Use this command to have the forms server listen for HTTP connections in addition to native mode optimization. All internal messaging between the forms server and the Java client is encapsulated in HTTP packets. Native mode Oracle Forms optimization must be enabled as well.
To optimize Oracle Forms HTTP traffic
1. Make sure Oracle Forms HTTP optimization is enabled.
2. Create an in-path rule (fixed-target or auto-discovery) that specifies:
• destination subnet and port: 8000 (HTTP mode)
• preoptimization policy: oracle-forms or oracle-forms+ssl
• optimization policy: normal
• latency optimization policy: normal
• Neural framing: always
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 HTTP optimization.
Example
amnesiac (config) # protocol oracle-forms http-enable
amnesiac (config) # in-path rule auto-discover dstaddr 10.11.41.14/32 dstport 8000 preoptimization oracle-forms latency-opt normal neural-mode always rulenum 1
