Known Problems

At the current time the following issues and bugs are know about in the Oracle Forms demos:

  1. The first time that you run the demos after install, it make take some time for the demo launch page to appear. This is due to weblogic completing it's initialization of the various servlets installed with the demos. Please be patient!
  2. If you install the demos on a machine that uses DHCP to obtain it's IP address you may find that the name of the machine used to launch the demos is the machine name allocated by DHCP rather than the proper machine name.  This name may change over time as new DHCP addresses are granted. If this is the case the demo page may no longer load.  If this happens, change the demo launch URL to reference "localhost" rather than the generated machine name.
