i want to connect form.fmx to database through internet. my database is running in one City and my form is running in the second City. i want to connect both of them through internet plz tell me how ? ( i m using forms 10g and database 9i )
10g forms don't connect directly to the database. They need an application server to run (and to connect to the db), so it is the application server which needs to be able to access the database server. The forms are web-based, so, if your app server is publicly accessible from the internet, you should be able to run the forms from any place in the world.
Your going to need some networking work done. Either your database will have to have a publicly exposed port that is firewalled and limited to connections from your web server or your going to have to set up a vpn between the two. I would opt for option #2.
Sir,
I read your answer; thanks for response. I am also running an application server. I can access my 10g forms through local internet explorer but I want to know the method or techniques to connect through internet. What I need to connect like as Static IP or other things. What is the string for internet explorer bar to connect from internet?
