Installation of Oracle Forms Builder 12c Step by Step Complete! - Oracle Middleware and Development Specialist
Oracle forms and reports is a tool that has been used for decades for the
development of multiple applications and is the core of many companies
today, however, being a product that has been on the market for many
years, sometimes it is It is difficult to find complete documentation that
allows for a clean and simple installation. That is why today I share with
you the following documentation where we are going to install an Oracle

Step 1:
Step 2:
EN
We run the installer as administrator and install using the default paths:

The temporary route is validated, in this case the established one is left:
EN
The value of the variable will be the installation path where the jdk was
installed
EN
Step 3:
Plain Text
Step 4:
We mark the Skip Auto Updates option and click on the next button.
EN
We look for the directory in which the weblogic was installed since Forms
and Reports will be installed in that directory.
The following screen summarizes the type of installation to be performed.
We click on the next button. EN
Step 5:
RCU Configuration
1 C:Oracle\Oracle_homeWLS\oracle_common\bin\rcu.bat EN
On the first welcome screen for the Repository configuration, click on the
next button.
EN
We mark the options shown in the image and click on the next button.
Next, we enter the information from the database.
EN
Here it is important before continuing with the installation that the
connection string is in the tnsnames.ora of the weblogic installation. This
file is located in ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
Plain Text
Once the components of the image have been marked, we click next.
On this screen you must enter the password that the new table will have
in the database. The password entered is:
tests123
We give next.
EN
Step 6:
Domain creation
Plain Text
1 C:Oracle\Oracle_homeWLS\oracle_common\common\bin\conf
EN
On this screen you must write after domain\ the name of the domain that
weblogic will have
In this case we name it: frdomain1, the same name can be used in future
installations.
On this screen we create the weblogic administrator user in this case with
the name:
weblogic
tests123
We mark the Development option in Domain Mode and we mark the first
JDK option.
We select the RCU Data option and we will add the information from the
database again.
We press the Get RCU Configuration button, once the button is executed a
message should appear that says Successfully Done, then click the Next
button to continue.
EN
On the next screen we select topology and system components and click
on the Next button.
We move all the Servers to the Right column and click on the Next button.
EN
In the next window we add the forms1 component with the image data.
We also add an ohs1 component of type OHS, once the two components
have been added, we click on Next. EN
In listen Address we place localhost, the data must be the same as the
image.
We click on Next.
EN
A warning will appear because we are doing the entire installation locally,
but it does not affect the installation of the system.
The last screen shows access to the console and indicates that the
installation has been successful.
Step 7:
EN
Start all:
Plain Text
1 C:\Oracle\Oracle_HomeWLS\user_projects\domains\frdoma
EN
EN
Plain Text
1 C:\Oracle\Oracle_HomeWLS\user_projects\domains\frdoma
startWeblogic.cmd
Plain Text
1 C:\Oracle\Oracle_HomeWLS\user_projects\domains\frdoma
startManageWeblogic.cmd WLS_FORMS
EN
User: weblogic
Password: tests123
We press enter
Now we must wait until the manage server changes to RUNNING mode
After this we minimize this command window and start a new command
window as administrator, go to the same path and execute the following
script:
EN
Plain Text
1 C:\Oracle\Oracle_HomeWLS\user_projects\domains\frdoma
startManageWeblogic.cmd WLS_REPORTS
We will be asked for the weblogic username and password again, which
we enter:
User: weblogic
Password: tests123
Now we must wait until the manage server changes to RUNNING mode
EN
Step 8:
With this configuration we will make the managed servers start without
the need to enter the weblogic password.
WLS_FORMS
Plain Text
1 C:\Oracle\Wls_Home\user_projects\domains\frdomain1\se

Step 9:
We enter with:
User: weblogic
Password: tests123
EN
We select Advanced
On the screen that appears, look for the NodeManager password and
confirm the Node manager password:
EN
tests123
EN
Plain Text
1 cd C:\Oracle\Wls_Home\oracle_common\common\bin
We execute wlst.cmd
Shell
1 connect("weblogic","tests123","localhost:7001")
Now we execute this command:
EN
Shell
1 createReportsToolsInstance(instanceName='reptools1',m
Now in the same command window we are going to execute the following
script connected to the weblogic console.
Shell
1 connect("weblogic","tests123","localhost:7001")
Shell
1 createReportsServerInstance(instanceName='repTests',m
Download these patches and just run them and click next

5. Restart WLS_REPORTS

Go to:

Download all:
stopComponent.cmd repTests
stopComponent.cmd ohs1
stopManageWeblogic.cmd WLS_REPORTS
stopManageWeblogic.cmd WLS_FORMS

Start everything, each of these scripts run them in separate windows:
EN
startWeblogic.cmd
startManageWeblogic.cmd WLS_FORMS
startManageWeblogic.cmd WLS_REPORTS
startNodeManager.cmd
startComponent.cmd ohs1
startComponent.cmd repTests
We unzip the downloaded Jacob and place the Jacob.jar file in the folder at
the path C:\Oracle\Wls_Home\forms\java
EN
Plain Text
1 C:\oracle\Wls_Home\user_projects\domains\frdomain\con
EN
SET KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=password
SET JAR_KEY_PASSWORD=password

We save and now proceed to sign the Jacob.jar jar with the following
command:
Plain Text
1 Oracle\Wls_Home\user_projects\domains\frdomain1\confi
EN
Shell
1 sign_webutil.bat \Oracle\Wls_Home\forms\java\jacob.ja
In this part we will test that the entire environment has been properly
configured, so we will test the webutil demo
1. We unzip webutil_demo.zip
Java

We must go to

1 C:\Oracle\Wls_Home\network\admin EN
Plain Text
1 C:\Oracle\Wls_Home\user_projects\domains\frdomain1\co
Then open the file and leave the connection strings that we are going to
use
Note: The DESA database already has the table and the user that is
created in this step
Step 21:
Now we will connect to the database and create the user webutil
PLSQL
PLSQL

Plain Text

EN
Plain Text
1 C:\oracle\Wls_Home\user_projects\domains\frdomain1\co
Login to edit it
In the same file we must look for the line that says archive and add:
frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar
This is because we will use the default environment for compiling forms.
After this we must download the java validation options, this is because it
is a development environment and not having to sign jars or generate
certificates, we must look for the java configuration:
Step 22:
Finally, to view the form we must install 32-bit java jdk, which is in the
installers folder
Step 23:
Plain Text
1 C:\oracle\Wls_Home\user_projects\domains\frdomain1\co
EN
Open the default.env file with Notepad++ and look for the following line
inside:
FORMS_MODULE_PATH
Comment this line with a # at the beginning of the row, so that it looks like
this:
Save the file and test by opening the form from any path.
Step 24:
Now we are going to compile the following files, in the following path:
Plain Text
1 c:\oracle\Oracle_Home\forms
EN
We will open the form builder from the following path:
Plain Text
1 C:\Oracle\Wls_Home\bin\frmbld.exe
webutil_demo.fmb
webutil.pll
Step 25:
As a last step, we must execute the following scripts, each of these scripts
must be executed in separate cmd windows to download and start the
environment completely:
Plain Text
1 C:\Oracle\Wls_Home\user_projects\domains\frdomain1
Plain Text
Plain Text
Plain Text
1 C:\Oracle\Wls_Home\bin\frmbld.exe

Now if it is to run a form, you must open the formsbuilder and compile and run the
form, as the formsbuilder is already configured, it will automatically start in the
browser, keep in mind that it only works with Internet Explorer since the NPAPI plugin
has been disabled in years other browsers, or in Microsoft Edge with IE support.
Otherwise you can also review the Java Web Start configuration guide, when
configured, you will be able to run the form without the need for a browser:
