        Listers,

        6i Forms Server in a test environment is crashing quite frequently,
3 to 4
        times a day.

        I'm relaying this question, and I'm not real familiar with the back
end
        configuration details, so I might be off on some things. They have
an 8.1.7
        test environment with 9iAS 1.0.2. Platform is HP-UX 11. 9iAS 1.0.2,
I
        believe that would be using Forms 6i patch 2. They are using
JInitiator.
        Access is via NT (sp4) clients using IE 5.5. The servlet, not CGI,
approach
        is being used. They are specifying connectmode as HTTP. In the test
        environment, DB and 9iAS are on the same box. In production, they
will be
        using 4 dedicated HP "D" class boxes for the forms servers just as
they
        currently do.

        Anyway, the Forms Server is going down quite a bit in the test
environment,
        3 or 4 times a day. They currently use Forms 5.0 in a production web
        deployed environment. While there are some things that are a bit of
a pain
        when web deploying forms, the 5.0 Forms Server has been very stable
for
        them. So, there is some concern about the stability when using 9iAS
with the
        included Apache server along with the Forms Server for 6i.

        Anyone have success or horror stories they would like to relay?
Their
        current thinking is to wipe everything clean, do a clean re-install


(they

        ran into a few road bumps during the install and wonder if a clean
install
        would help), and see what happens from there.

        Regards,
