FRM-92060: Failed to connect to the Server. Bad machine specification:

Hi DBA-mates,Hope you all are doing well!!!

FRM-92060: Failed to connect to the Server. Bad machine specification: hostname.domain.com:port

We are back again with one of very important forms error FRM-92060: Failed to connect to the Server which may help you guys here...

We used to face this issue whenever we run the Autoconfig on applications node.

The issue is when we run Autoconfig on Application node and start the services the forms will open with error as "FRM-92060: Failed to connect to the Server. Bad machine specification: hostname.domain.com:port..."

But later on we found that because of running autoconfig on Apps nodes the previous/custom configurations files got updated and made some changes, so the forms won't open.

So, below is the one of the work around or solution which may help us here in future for quick references. 

Error:
FRM-92060: Failed to connect to the Server. 
Bad machine specification: hostname.domain.com:port

Details...
Java Exception:
java.net.UnknownHostException: hostname.domain.com
at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketlmpl.connect(Unknown Source)

Form solution:

=========

$su – applmgr 

Password:****

$cd $ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.2/forms/server

$ls –ltr appsweb.cfg

Changed from

=========

serverPort=1234

serverName=<hostname as per unix>

domainName=<domain name>

To

====

serverPort=1234

serverName=<hostname as per ebs url>

domainName=<domain name>

Friends, this is one of the work around which worked for us.

In above example, almost time we saw that the “serverName” got changed to hostname which shows in UNIX but if we change it as per our ebs url, the forms open fine and worked correctly.

There is one more option if still not working above work-around, you can bounce the apache and oacore which may help in it.

Also, we have shared other issue and solutions related to forms which may help you.
