Pre-requisites

1) Download install files - Locations are found in the post http://oracleformsinfo.wordpress.com/2012/03/04/11gshoppinglist/ Make a directory e:\oracle\Installs to put all install files Install notepad++ \\isracard\shared\installs\notepad++ 2) Install JDK for Windows 64 bit - 64-bit JDK. Choose a java_home where to install it. I use D:\Oracle\Java

3) Put the java home in the PATH environment variable in my installation it is D:\Oracle\Java\ 4) Put the java home in the JAVA_HOME environment variable in my installation it is D:\Oracle\Java\ 5) Ensure the TEMP and TMP environment variables are set to a directory without spaces for example - c:\Temp 6) 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

http://oracleformsinfo.wordpress.com/2012/03/04/11gshoppinglist/


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:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\FRMDomain\bin> startweblogic.cmd If you get the result "_______________" was unexpected at this time." It means you have a space in your path variable.

7) Ensure that Anti-virus software has d:\oracle and e:\oracle excluded from protection

Installing WebLogic Server on 64-Bit Platforms Using 64-Bit JDK

Run the following command to install the oracle Weblogic server in console mode. > Set JAVA_HOME=D:\Oracle\Java > D:\Oracle\Java\bin\java -jar E:\Oracle\WL1035\wls1035_generic.jar -mode=console


STEP 2 : Installing Oracle Forms and Reports 11g R2

Run the setup from E:\Oracle\<forms 11g r2 install>\Disk1\setup.exe


Change home name to FRMHome


Now its time to configure the forms and reports services


Change Oracle instance location to d:\oracle\Middleware\FRMinst Change Oracle Instance Name to Frminst

Change domain name to FRMDomain Password should recorded somewhere so not to loose it :)


Remove the checkbox


If it gets stuck at the stage and never starts progressing. Check if the PATH environment variable has spaces!


Run the start Weblogic admin server

Run the start OPMN managed components


Run the WLS_FORMS - start

Run Test Form: http://<server_hostname>:8888/forms/frmservlet?form=test.fmx&userid=&otherparams=useSDI=yes&lookAndFeel=oracle&colorScheme=blue


Configure the server

This is checklist of things that should be configured on the server after base installation has been found successfull. TASK PATH

Copy the actual forms folder Put fmb sources on the 11g server

Delete all fmx, plx,

plg,pld,mmx

Copy Tnsnames file D:\Oracle\Middleware\FrmInst\config

Compile all forms

Sign all jars using sign script E:\Oracle\sign_jars

Put jacob.dlls

Place jacob-1.14.3-x86.dll in the ORACLE_HOME/forms/webutil/win32 directory.

Place jacob-1.14.3-x64.dll in the

ORACLE_HOME/forms/webutil/win64 directory.


Sign Jar files

There is a bug in 11g with the signing utility of webutil. As such we must first chnage the passwords in the sign_webutil file and then sign all jar files in the \java folder again. To fix the issue: 1. Backup and open the sign_webutil script in a text editor and check/read the 2 comments: REM *** Remove the text after the '=' below and replace with your password.

***

2. Locate the line:

KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=<Your KEYSTORE password>

and specify the desired password in accordance with your organization's policy:

KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=<yourPassword>

3. Locate the line: JAR_KEY_PASSWORD=<Your private key password>

and specify the desired password in accordance with your organization's policy:

JAR_KEY_PASSWORD==<yourPassword>

4. Save the script and run it again to sign the JAR file. Using this command: ORACLE_INSTANCE\bin\sign_webutil.bat %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\java\jacob.jar For example: d:\oracle\middleware\frminst\\bin\sign_webutil.bat d:\oracle\frmhome\forms\java\jacob.jar

You must then run this command for all jar files. After running the commands please check the modifies date of the jar files to ensure they have all been signed successfully.


If after configuring the server you see the form looks stuck in a grey window when you run the forms. The below error message will be seen in the java console when running forms. You did not sign the jars properly. Please resign
