Forms Server in R12 Oracle Applications

Forms Server in R12 Oracle Applications can be configured in two different
modes: Servlet and Socket
Servlet mode: -------------
Forms Server is started in Servlet mode using the script
<>/adformsctl.sh
- All the variables required by Forms Server in Servlet mode are defined in
<>/ora/10.1.2/forms/server/default.env
Forms Server when started in Servlet mode reads the name-value pairs
defined in the file <>/ora/10.1.2/forms/server/default.env to
determine the values for different variables .
Socket mode: ------------
- Forms Server is started in Socket mode using the script
<>/adformsrvctl.sh
- All the variables required by Forms Server in Socket mode are set in
<>/ora/10.1.2/forms/server/socket.env
- Forms Server when started in Socket mode reads the values for different
variables from the environment
- All the variables are set in the environment by the script
<>/adformsctl.sh by sourcing the file
<>/ora/10.1.2/forms/server/socket.env before starting the Forms
Server.
