4-4 Forms Services Deployment Guide
4.2 Configuring Forms Services
Use the Web Configuration page in Fusion Middleware Control to configure deployment of Forms applications by modifying formsweb.cfg.
To access Web Configuration page: 1.
Start Fusion Middleware Control.
2. From the Fusion Middleware Control main page, click the link to the Oracle Forms
Services instance that you want to configure.
3. From the Forms menu list, select Web Configuration.
The Web Configuration page Figure 4–2
is displayed.
Figure 4–2 Web Configuration Page

See Table 4–3
and Table 4–4
for the tasks that you can do.
4.2.1 Common Tasks in the Web Configuration Page
Table 4–3 describes the common tasks that you can do to edit configuration with the
sections of a configuration file and their parameters.
Note: For the pages that include a Help icon, click the Help icon to
access the page-level help. The page-level help describes each element in the page.
Note: As with most Web applications, it is easy to lose unsaved
changes by switching pages. Be sure to save any changes you make through Fusion Middleware Control to Forms configuration or
environment files before proceeding to other pages.
The length of time it takes for changes to be saved is affected by the number of lines you have changed. For example, an additional fifty
lines of comments takes longer to save than just the deletion of a single entry.
