Oracle WebCenter Forms Recognition (WFR) 11.1.1.8.0 now available!

Hey all,

Oracle released WebCenter Forms Recognition 11.1.1.8!

You can get your copy on edelivery. It is under the Oracle Fusion Middleware Product Pack and Windows x86 or x64 platform.

Note that it's not under the typical Fusion Middleware Media Pack, but instead OFR has its own Media Pack. You'll find the product download there.

I don't see the documentation in the 11.1.1.8 document library, but the .zip download does include the updated docs.

You'll also find the updated AP project within the .zip. "AP Packaged Project_1007CA" can be found under the Projects\AP\Global directory.

Stay tuned for more information!

How to Clean up Old RTS Instance and machine Name in OFR Runtime Service

Problem Statement:

OFR Runtime Service always saves the previously configured settings like Machine Name and RTS Instance Name

Sometimes the Batches cannot pick by Runtime Service and if we delete the previously configured Machine Name and RTS instance, though it is deleted, same machine name and RTS Instance appeared.

Solution:

 Use Following steps to delete the previously configured data-

Many times we want to create the RTS Instance and Machine Name but OFR Runtime Services fail to create that-(Example Image-Runtime Services fails to add RTS Instance and Machine Name)

        Go to Oracle Form Recognition (OFR) Installation file

For Windows 7- C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\Forms Recognition

For Windows XP- C:\Program Files \Oracle\Forms Recognition

Go to Bin Folder

   Go to Log Folder

     All Configured settings getting save in this folder

      Delete All Files so that previously configured settings are removed

Now we can configure new required RTS Instance and Machine Name

Currently Log Folder is empty as we removed all the configured files

Start Oracle Form Recognition (OFR) Monitor Service before creation of RTS Instance and Machine Name When we create Machine and RTS instance each time this Log file is populated

Log file is populated again

      Now we can capture Batches using Oracle Form Recognition (OFR) Runtime Service without any conflicts

Click Save Settings button when we want to save all the configured settings while closing OFR Runtime Service
