FRM-92050: Failed to connect to the server: /forms/formservlet: -1

Internet Explorer 8 (IE8)

Multiple Sessions

Previous releases of Internet Explorer have allowed users to logon to the same Oracle E-Business Suite environment concurrently from the same desktop by launching each application session through a new browser session.
By default the ‘Session Merging’ feature within IE8 prevents this functionality from working correctly. This IE8 functionality causes the same session id to be used when accessing the same Oracle E-Business Suite environment despite opening a new browser window to launch a second session.
This can result in unusual behavior with invalid sessions causing errors such as “Your login session has become invalid" and failures to launch forms causing errors such as “FRM-92050: Failed to connect to the server: /forms/formservlet: -1"
To retain the use of multiple sessions to the same Oracle E-Business Suite environment with IE8, please use one of the workarounds below to ensure each browser session remains independent;
  1. Open a new explorer window using its own session cookie by selecting 'File -> New Session' from an existing browser window.
  2. Run from the command line adding the -nomerge parameter i.e. Start -> Run -> iexplore -nomerge
  3. Create a new IE8 icon adding the -nomerge parameter i.e.
    • Start -> Program Files
    • Right click on the Internet Explorer icon and select Properties
    • Add -nomerge to the end of the link in the Target field i.e.
      "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nomerge
    • Click the OK button to close the window
    • This icon may then be copied to the desktop if desired
