Preparing Environment¶

1. Java Support¶

Ensure you deploy the Rapise Java bridge as described here.

2. _JAVA_OPTIONS¶

You need to set the environment variable _JAVA_OPTIONS.

"-javaagent:C:\Program Files (x86)\Inflectra\Rapise\Extensions\JavaWrapper\Agents\PreMainAgent.jar" "-Djava.security.policy=C:\Program Files (x86)\Inflectra\Rapise\Extensions\JavaWrapper\Agents\file.policy"

_JAVA_OPTIONS

It can be set through system or user environment variables. Alternatively, if your application is launched from a .bat file, you can set _JAVA_OPTIONS there:

...
set _JAVA_OPTIONS="-javaagent:C:\Program Files (x86)\Inflectra\Rapise\Extensions\JavaWrapper\Agents\PreMainAgent.jar" "-Djava.security.policy=C:\Program Files (x86)\Inflectra\Rapise\Extensions\JavaWrapper\Agents\file.policy"
...
rem <launch of the application.jar>

Setting _JAVA_OPTIONS globally may affect other software or tools. Therefore, if you encounter any problems, you can remove this variable or rename it to another name.

3. Change the Launch URL¶

See Launching Oracle Forms Application to learn more about the changes to the launch process that need to be made to enable testing.

Launching Oracle Forms Application¶

There are two major ways your application can be started: using Internet Explorer or Java Web Start (.jnlp file).

In either case, you need to make sure that the application URL contains the following parameters:

From Internet Explorer¶

You need to append the following parameter to the URL: ...&record=names

For Internet Explorer, this means the URL must contain this part:

URL IE

From Java Web Start .jnlp File¶

...&record=names

URL JNLP

Global Object¶

Rapise Oracle Forms Library includes the OracleForms global object. It is mostly used to deal with the main menu, notifications, and status bar.
