QUICK TIPS FOR INSTALLING FORMS 11G

R2 SHOPPING LIST OF TECHNOLOGIES

YOU WILL NEED

Sometimes wanting to install an Oracle Forms version seems like itshould be a simple

enough procedure.

1) Download the technology

2) Install it

3) Some basic configuration to personalize it to your system and Voila!

But with the newest version of Oracle Forms 11g R2 just to download the software it feels

like you need a guidebook. The version of each component are VERY specific. AND Do

not try to be smart and choose the latest versions of the products! All versions must be the

same one listed here below TRUST ME

For the Forms 11g R2 installation on 64 bit Windows 2008 R2 you will need:

1) Jdk 1.6 (should also come with Jre )

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/jav asebusiness/downloads/java-archive-

downloads-javase6-419409.html

Windows x64 69.58 MB jdk-6u30-windows-x64.exe

2) WebLogic Serverwith 64-bit JVMs you need to use the WebLogic Server generic installer

listed under Additional Platforms. Thesegenericinstallers do not include a JVM/JDK.

Download Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.6) + Coherence Package Installer

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic/downloads/wls-main-097127.html

Additional Platforms (For 64-bit JVM Support, See Note Above) Generic: 1 GB

3) Download Oracle Forms and Reports 11g Release 2 Windows 64

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/downloads/index.html

4) Download Jacob You will need this to configure Webutil for Microsoft compatibility after

the installation is complete Jacob version

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jacob-project/files/jacob-project/1.14.3/

For Forms 11gR1 (11.1.1.x) you must use jacob 1.10.1.

For Forms 11gR2 (11.1.2.X) you must use jacob. 1.14.3.

Optional: Notepad++ http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v5.9.8.html

Any questions? No problem just let me k now.

Hi, you make it sound simple wish it was, any ways I am trying to install following for the past month with out any

success

Windows 2008 R2 (64)

jdk-6u25-windows-x64.exe

wls1035_generic.jar

ofm_frmrpts_win_11.1.2.0.0_64_disk1_1of1.zip

Initially I was faced with

Step Executing: opmnctl startproc ias-coomponent=ReptSvr_WIN-Q9CMS0Z6OC_asinst_failed

Configuration Action Executing: opmnctl startproc ias-component=RptSvr_WIN-Q9CMCS0Z6OC_has failed. Please

check log for details

for both 32 and 64 bits was giving this error and by using generic I was able overcome this and get the thing installed but

the problem is hen I do a reboot weblogic would not come up. I can manually start the Wlogic but then again Forms

would not comeup

Any idea, appreciate your help

Thanks and Regards

The problem you had installing on 64 bit sounds like you may have run into a bug.

Ensure your PATH environment variable does not contain any spaces.

For example Program Files (x86)

FR 11.1.2 will not configure on 64bit windows if there are spaces in the path

variable The AdminServer will not start if there is an (x86) in the PATH environment

variable it could not parse beyond the (x86) point.

You can test after you have installed Weblogic and Forms installation by

running in cmd:

D:OracleMiddlewareuser_projectsdomainsFRMDomainbin>

startweblogic.cmd

If you get the result _______________ was unexpected at this time.

It means you have a space in your path variable.

I will be posting my 64bit windows install guide tomorrow.

The fact that the forms server and weblogic do not start up automatically upon server reboot is not really an bug but a

feature

In Forms 11g R2 windows services are not automatically created for components. So they need to be started by thecommand scripts manually.

OR

You can checkout this note:

How to Install MS Windows Services For FMW 11g WebLogic Domain Admin and Managed Servers? [ID 1060058.1]

to create the services and then forms and weblogic will automatically start up when the server is restarted.

Hello Mia,

I have just a small question related to installation, but related to the client (developer) side, a little bit one of an old-

comer:

As far as we knew, the Oracle Forms10g developer s uite cannot be installed on a Windows7 machine, it works only on

Windows XP.

However, I read on a web site that they have installed even Forms6i on Windows7 successfully, so I would like to know

what is the truth about Forms10g, do I need a virtual XP over the Windows7 or it can however be installed directly on the

machine and, if yes, whether there are any special actions/settings that should be applied.

I ask because our upgrade to Forms11g seems a little bit far at this moment.

Thanks a lot & Best Regards,

Iudith Mentzel

we have successfully installed Forms 10g in windows 7. Follow steps provided in oracle doc 1292919.1 and then

Apply patch 7047034.Although it is a DB patch bundle it needs to be applied onto the ORACLE_HOME of Developer

Suite to update the DB Client of the Forms-Reports installation.

Hi Jani,

Did you find a solution for your problem : are you still trying to install F&R 11gR2 with OID and OAM or did you went

to F&R11gR1 ? If so, could you please ensure that there is no problem during the installation of F&R11g R1 with OID

and OAM ? Ive searched on support.oracle.com and it seems that your (and my) issue is an Oracle bug : Bug

14053429 : FORMS 11.1.2.0.0 UNABLE TO CONNECT TO OAM 11.1.1.5.0BP02

I have a Windows Vista 32-bit machine. I have installed Weblogic Server 10.3.5 and Forms & Reports 11.2 R2. Weblogic

installation completed without domain creation (as per installation readme .) However on installing the Forms Reports ,

Doman creation is successful, then i get the error ASInstance creation failed. Abort-Retry-Ignore. I have retried

continuing by ignoring, then again by de-installing and reinstalling 4 times with no sucess, even with Windows firewall

turned off. Now every time it re-ininstalled, I had to create a new asinstance name. Then I learnt to delete the Windows

service for old AS_instance. But it still gives the errors:

1) Swap memory : nil required :500MB

2) ASInstance creation failed

I am a finance guy with no knowledge of networking/Windows components. I am literally at my wits end.

Oracle Forms Info


Hi Dipak,

Firstly if it says you require 500mb of swap space please check that you have that amount of swap configured.

You can use this note to see how to add a customized swap size: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-

vista/Change-the-size-of-virtual-memory

If your swap amount is configured properly then check the log files in /diagnostics/logs/OPMN/opmn. (Note that there

may not be log files yet). They may have more information.

If not also try to start opmn manually : /bin/opmnctl start this might give an error which can be used for diagnostics.

Feel free to send me the errors and log files and I will try to help you out.

Hi Jesse,

It looks like the server is already started.

Could that be?

unable to get file lock, will retry

Usually a file lock error means that that a started process is locking the files.

Mia, it could be the server has already started. How can I verify that? My Configure Classic Instance is spending a

loooong time at Restarting AdminServer. So, I am not sure how to proceed. Should I shutdown the JVM and delete the

lok file and restart?

OK. I was able to get past this issue. I am not sure what the solution was: I made two changes (bad idea for a

controlled experiment): 1. I shutdown the OracleXE database processes a) Service and b) TNS Listener 2. I added a

parameter in the Java Console -d64 to make sure it was running the 64bit version. No expert on JVM so not sure if this

really had any impact. Nothing else changed. Thank you Mia for all your help.

Can any body tell me what need to be licensed for deploying form/reports 11g as oracle sales are them selves confused

help required thanks

Oracle Forms Info


Hi Saro,

In general I am not allowed or approved to give price quotes for Oracle technologies. You must speak to a saleman

for that but what I know is.1) If you are doing an IAS Enterprise Edition upgrade from version 10g to 11g without any additional functionality.

Meaning you are only upgrading the version of the forms system but NOT using ADF, Java, monitoring functionailty

and other advanced features of weblogic etc.. you do not have to purchase any new licenses.

2) If you want to upgrade and add functionality listed above you must pruchase a weblogic license.

Hi Surya,

Jacob.jar is a jar file needed if you are using webutil. The Oracle Forms library that enables client side manipulations

from Oracle Forms. Specifically the Jacob.jar handle the connection between java and microsoft products such as

excel and word.

I have installed the forms 11g R2 on Oracle Linux and every thing went perfect but when we try to connect the

application through the application URL its give error show unable to establish connection to the database. but when we

compile the form ,library & reports not give any message and compile successfully. It seems that when Log-on trigger is

not working properly because we connect the other form directly from the url specifying form name,userid and other

parameter its working fine and able to see the data.

if you anybody provide any hits or solution on it most welcome.

The TNSnames file used for development is in a different location then the TNSNames file for runtime.

Make sure the tnsnames file is located either

1) Where TNS_ADMIN in the registry or env variables points too

2) The default is config for example e:\oraclemiddlewareFRMInstconfig

Hi there. The 32-bit 1.6 JDK seems to be packaged with the 64-bit Weblogic Generic JAR file. Why do I get the following

error during 11.1.2 Forms & Reports setup? Weblogic was started with a 64-bit 1.7 JDK in a 64-bit Windows 2008 R2.

INST-07408: Unable to install or configure the product on a 32-bit JVM on a 64-bit machine

Oracle Forms Info


Hi Steve,

You should check

1) Which JDK does you Java_home environment variable point to

2) Which JDK appears first in the PATH env variable

3) Did you install a 64 bit JDK and use it as the installation base version as I wrote in note :

http://oracleformsinfo.com/2012/03/07/tips-and-tricks-the-dummies-guide-to-installing-oracle-forms-11g-r2-on-64-bit/

2) Before you begin make sure you install the JDK 1.6 for 64 bit Yes I said JDK not JRE.

You should have downloaded it in step 1 above.

If you install JRE instead of JDK by mistake you will have trouble during the installation when it tries to find your java

home.

Once the JDK is installed add the path where you installed it to the PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables of

you system. In any case I suggest that in the cmd window before you run the weblogic install jar you run the

command. For example:

set JAVA_HOME=D:OracleJava

Good Luck!

Mia

Hey there, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Opera, it looks fine

but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then

that, excellent blog!

Hi,

This can mean several things.

1) It can mean the service is already up so it can not start it

2) It can be a privileges issue

3) It can be another Weblogic issue

The best is if you can look at the log file for more information and send the error message

Thanks

Obie


Please Im runnin Server 2012 64bits, jrockit-jdk 1.6.0_45 & also jdk1.6.0_37. I successfully installed weblogic

tried installing Oracle Forms version 11.1.2.0.0 & 11.1.2.2.0. My OS is activated. When I continue the installation,

everything seems okay until I try running my reports and it gives Unable to Connect to report Server error. I hav

replicated a similar installation on windows 7 x64 and everything works perfectly. Please what am I doing wrong??

Oracle Forms Info


Hi Obie,

What is the exact error you are getting operating system error and Unable to Connect to report Server

Please send the full error messages you receive as well as the error lines from the log files.

But your best best is to contact Oracle support for these types of issues.

Thanks,

Mia

Dear Mia,

Many Thanks for your response.

The error I get during prerequisite check is Check Complete: the overall result of this check is: Not

Executed.But it provides and option to continue the installation.

After the ins tallation, I get Unable t o run reports, I dont k now if it has to do with the earlier OS warning I

got..Many Thanks

a Service Request still open with Oracle, but to save you the trouble a lot of documentation is so scattered around and

inaccurate its worth point out some key facts. The Server installation is pretty much ok. However the PC development

is a real challenge and does require some Windows admin specific preparations. Please not my comments relate to a

work environment where I have access to the Internet via a proxy server.

As for my windows, I currently have Windows 7 32-bit, so some of my comments will not relate to Forms11 on a 64.bit

machine.

Here are my bits:

1) This is the official response from an Oracle engineer:

Windows 7 is supported for single user only in a development environment.

In order to install Oracle Forms and Reports or use the Oracle Forms and Reports Builders after installation, the

operating system user must have Windows Administrator privileges.

Although the current us er may have Windows Administrator privileges, if they are not the installation owner, the

Windows UAC settings may need to be relaxed.

The domain user must be listed as a member in the local administrators for a machine and UAC settings may need to be

relaxed to be able to work with Forms & Reports.

End quote. Next comments below.

2) Because the weblogic Forms11 installer does not like DHCP for your PC you must first install the Windows loopback

adapter. This is where Oracle tells you how to do it:

http://docs.oracle.com/html/E18558_01/fusion_requirements.htm

However, in a work environment ask your network admin for an known to him IP address you can use, it must somehow

exist, it cannot be the same address you get by default once the loopback adapter is installed. You will then use that IP

address in your Windows hosts file.

3) Still back to point 1), when you are behind a proxy for some reason the F11 installer is still trying to get to the Internet.

Dont ask me why, I gave up asking Oracle about it. When running the installer as a local Admin you will be prompted to

provide your Proxy credentials. You may succeed, sometimes this works, sometimes it doesnt. What I suggest is to

login to your domain account from where you have access to the Internet and launch the F11 installer with Run As

Administrator option. The F11 configuration manager s hould finish in 15 minutes without any issues.

I can only assume if you are at home you are free to give yourself Admin rights. You will probably have some kind of

broadband and you PC IP address will probably be like 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.4. That you can use.

4) Launching Forms 11 Builder when logged in as local Admin you will not have any problems. However you will fail

running the Forms Builder as a regular user. Refer to point 1) again. If you dont want to grant admin privileges to the

user (in many work places your Windows admin will simply say NO), then try browsing to your Oracle Home. When you

click, Windows 7 will say you do not have access to the folder, however when you press continue, you will be able to

give your admin account login and password and once you have access to your Oracle Home folder you will be able to

launch Forms Builder.

5) When trying to open a library .pll file with Form Builder it will crash. If you installed Forms 11.1.2.2 you will need to

apply a patch from an earlier version 10350787 (32 bit Windows)

Now, to my questions. Has anyone managed to run a form in the web browser?These are my comments on the Oracle web site:

https://community.oracle.com/thread/3529660

Hi friends,,

I installed 1 to 3 succesfully on a Win 2008 Srver R2 64 Bit

1) JDK 1.7

2) Oracle Database 11g 11.2.0.1.0

3) weblogic 1.3.6 (using wls1036_generic.jar installation)

I am stuck on the last step (Configure Classic Instance) after installing Oracle Forms and Reports 11g Release 2

(11.1.2.2.0)The error: The step creating domain failed.

yes, I installed my JDK in (a folder having space) C:Program FilesJavajdk1.7.0_60

What should I do now? Any help? I am disappointed. Is this error because of the spave in the JDK installation folder? If

only, I had seen this blog before installing the JDK.

Thanks in advance,

Maz

Thank you, (Mia?)! This post was a HUGE help in troubleshooting the the installation I was working on! With some

helpful hints from several other web postings around the web, I was able to adapt and successfully install Discoverer and

Forms & Reports on 64 bit Windows 7. A dummies' guide was nice but, for us Oracle Sub-dummies, I put together a

Neanderthal version for our group so someone else wont have to spend the time that I did! I noticed that a some of the

problems people were having with errors like the Apache Server problem and blank test page (like I had) disappeared

with a fresh Windows Image- (at least on mine)- just sayin.

Hi Mazhar,

To use the new server from your Forms builder buttons. You will need to go to the Forms developer menu to Edit ->

Preferences and there it asks you for the URL of the server. Here you put the URL of the new server you have set up.

It should then use this URL when running Forms from the builder.

Thanks,

Mia

Hi Mia,

Thanks for your reply. Keep up the good blog.

The issue was resolved after I added the localhost and 127.0.0.1 as exceptions in Lan Settings -> Proxy Setting

There was no problem with the values in the Edit -> Preferences settings. They were setup correctly.

Hello,

I have some forms and reports in 6i and, I want to convert them to 11G.

I have some reports which will directly convert to 11g with the help of Form Migration Assistant and, rest of the reports

have communication package. If I want to convert the reports which have communication package, I need to write some

sort of code in Java Bean.

For that I have installed,

1. Oracle Fusion Middleware 11.1.2.2.0

2. Oracle JDeveloper 11g.

Could you please tell me if this is the right way or not ?

-If it is right path, could you please tell me how to make connection between forms which are in Oracle forms builder and

Java Bean which is in Jdeveloper ?

-If it is not the right way, could you please tell me what is the right way ?

Please, if possible, Provide some links.

Thanks,
