Browser crashes during recording of Oracle Forms

Problem

Browser crashes during recording of Oracle Forms.

Resolution

When recording Oracle Forms 6i it is recommended that you disable Java JIT (Just-In-Time compiling) in the Java Runtime settings. This is because the JIT library of the Java Virtual Machine (symcjit.dll) may crash your browser.

Java JIT can be disabled using one of the following options:

Option 1: Define - DJAVA.COMPILER=NONE in the Java runtime settings of the Oracle JInitiator Properties dialog. This must be done using the JInitiator control panel, which is installed with JInitiator (available in the Windows control panel).
  1. Launch the JInitiator Control Panel.
  2. Add DJAVA.COMPILER=NONE to the Java Run Time Parameters text field.
  3. Click Apply.
Option 2: Use the check box on the Oracle JInitiator Properties dialog to disable the Just In Time Compiler (only available since version 1.1.8.x).
  1. Launch the JInitiator Control Panel.
  2. Select the Advanced tab.
  3. Uncheck the Enable Just In Time Compiler checkbox.
  4. Click Apply.
Option 3: Define environment variable: JAVA_COMPILER=NONE.
  1. Right-click My Computer and choose Properties.
  2. Choose Advanced.
  3. Choose Environment Variables.
  4. Under System Variables click New.
  5. For Variable Name enter JAVA_COMPILER.
  6. For Variable Value enter NONE.
  7. Click OK to exit out of dialogs.
