Installation OC4J standalone

To configure Apex FOP printing first step is installation of OC4J Standalone (or using BIP Publisher).
To install OC4J Standalone you need:

• Oracle OC4J Standalone Version 10.1.3.5.0  (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/utilsoft-090603.html)
• Java SDK 6u38 (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk6u38-downloads-1877406.html)

Define two system variables

• ORACLE_HOME = C:\ORACLE\OC4J
• JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_38

Unpack OC4J standalone zip to directory c:\oracle\oc4j:

To start OC4J manually go to %ORACLE_HOME%\bin\oc4j -start

When you start first time it will ask you for OC4J password

To stop OC4J manually go to %ORACLE_HOME%\bin\oc4j -shutdown -port "xxxxx" -password "pass"

where:

         "pass" is OC4J password

         "port" is 23791 and is found in: C:\ORACLE\OC4J\j2ee\home\config\rmi.xml (port="23791")

To start OC4j automatically define variable J2EE_HOME=C:\ORACLE\OC4J\j2ee\home

         cd %J2EE_HOME%

         java -jar oc4j.jar

         or with custom configuration script: java -jar oc4j.jar -config /mypath/server.xml

When you are done you should get response on web page:

http://%server_name%:8888 (or any other port you configured)

and OC4J Enterprise Manager at:

http://%server_name%:8888/em

Oracle Forms and Reports Services 10.1.2.0.2 - FRM-92101 - addendum

After some more investigation i found Oracle note about this problem.

"FRM-92101, FRM-92050, FRM-93552 and FRM-93000 Error When Running Forms After a Relatively Small Number (50 - 80) of Concurrent Connections and No New Connection Possible [ID 187455.1]"

Oracle indicates that this solution with ticking "Allow to interact with Desktop" is just for a testing purposes and Microsoft and Oracle did not recommend it as a permanent solution.

Permanent solution will be to edit Windows registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems

Double click on the Windows node value in the right frame.  Increase the  appropriate SharedSection parameter which will be the third one.

Example Setting ->  SharedSection= 1024,3072,512
Solution on my server is SharedSection= 1024,3072,2048

I have problems when third value is greater than second one. Also there is a Microsoft note which says that sum of second and third value could not be more than 48MB on windows 2003 server.
