2 Installing and Configuring Oracle Forms and Reports

The following topics are covered:

2.1 Preparing to Install

Before you begin installing Oracle Forms and Reports, it would be helpful if you understand the installation requirements. To prepare for your Oracle Forms and Reports installation, verify that your system meets the basic requirements, then obtain the correct installation software.

You should also ensure that your environment and other software requirements are met.

2.1.1 Reviewing Certification, System, and Interoperability Requirements

Oracle recommends that you use the certification matrix and system requirements documents with each other to verify that your environment meets the requirements for installation.

Verifying that your environment meets certification requirements

Make sure that you install your product on a supported hardware and software configuration. See the certification document for your release on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page.

Oracle has tested and verified the performance of your product on all certified systems and environments. Whenever new certifications are released, they are added to the certification document right away. New certifications can be released at any time. Therefore, the certification documents are kept outside the documentation libraries and are available on Oracle Technology Network.

Using the system requirements document to verify certification

Oracle recommends that you use the Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications document to verify that the certification requirements are met. For example, if the certification document indicates that your product is certified for installation on 64-Bit Oracle Linux 6.5, use this document to verify that your system meets the required minimum specifications. These include disk space, available memory, specific platform packages and patches, and other operating system-specific requirements. System requirements can change in the future. Therefore, the system requirement documents are kept outside of the documentation libraries and are available on Oracle Technology Network.

Verifying interoperability among multiple products

To learn how to install and run multiple Fusion Middleware products from the same release or mixed releases with each other, see Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c Interoperability and Compatibility in Understanding Interoperability and Compatibility .

2.1.2 Understand Oracle Fusion Middleware Concepts

If you are new to Oracle Fusion Middleware, see About Key Oracle Fusion Middleware Concepts in Understanding Oracle Fusion Middleware to familiarize yourself with some concepts and terminology you will encounter.

2.1.3 Obtaining the Oracle Fusion Middleware Software

Depending on your specific needs, there are multiple locations to obtain Oracle Fusion Middleware software.

For specific information on the distributions you need to download, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Download, Installation, and Configuration Readme Files on Oracle Technology Network (OTN) page.

To install and configure Oracle Forms and Reports, you will need to download the following software:

The installer for a certified version of Oracle WebLogic Server (FMW Infrastructure). Make sure you refer to the certification document, as described in Reviewing Certification, System, and Interoperability Requirements, to determine which version of Oracle WebLogic Server (FMW Infrastructure) you should obtain.

The installer for Oracle Forms and Reports.

If you want to secure your Oracle Forms and Reports installation with Identity Management, you can also download Oracle Internet Directory with Oracle Access Management.

Make a note of the directory where you download each installer; you will need this information when it is time to run the installer for each product.

2.1.4 Installing Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports on Separate Servers

You can install Oracle Forms and Reports on different server by performing specific configurations.

To install Oracle Forms and Reports on different servers, you must perform manual configuration in order for these two products to be able to communicate properly with each other, as described in Communication Between Reports and Forms When Installed on Different Instances.

2.1.5 Installing Oracle Forms and Reports in a New Oracle home

Oracle Forms and Reports must be installed inside an Oracle home directory, which is created when Oracle WebLogic Server is installed.

Oracle Forms and Reports must be installed in its own Oracle home directory that it does not share with any other Oracle Fusion Middleware products of a different version.

2.1.6 Installing Oracle Forms and Reports as a Non-Default User

On UNIX operating systems, the installation of Fusion Middleware products is owned and controlled as a known user (for example, «oracle»). The file permissions associated with this installation are configured to ensure the highest level of security possible, which by default are 700 (meaning all files are owned and accessible by the owner only).

Changing the default permissions settings will reduce the security of the installation and possibly your system. Therefore, making such a change is not recommended. If other user require access to particular files or executables, the UNIX sudo command (or other similar command) should be considered in lieu of changing file permissions.

Refer to your UNIX operating system Administrator’s Guide or contact your operating system vendor if you need further assistance.

On Windows operating systems, the user must be a member of the Windows «Admin» group. This gives the user the proper permissions required to start and stop processes after the installation, including the Builders.

2.1.7 Overview of Installation and Configuration Steps

To complete the installation and configuration of Oracle Forms and Reports, this section lists the basic steps you have to perform.

Installation and Configuration Steps

Perform the following steps to complete the installation and configuration of Oracle Forms and Reports:

Install WebLogic Server Infrastructure.

Install Forms and Reports.

Run Repository Creation Utility (RCU).

Run Configuration Wizard.

Start all servers to complete configuration.

2.2 Installing Oracle WebLogic Server (FMW Infrastructure)

Oracle Forms and Reports requires Oracle WebLogic Server (FMW Infrastructure), which creates the Oracle home directory during installation.

The Oracle Fusion Middleware certification document for a specific release provides information about the minimum required Oracle WebLogic Server (FMW Infrastructure) version. See the certification document for your release on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page.

Planning Your Oracle Home Location for Oracle Reports (Windows Only)

If you are installing Oracle Reports on Microsoft Windows operating system, Oracle home directory path should not be not too long, as described in Verify Environment Variable Lengths for Oracle Reports (Windows Only)

Downloading the Correct Installer for Your Operating System

To obtain the Oracle WebLogic Server (FMW Infrastructure) installer, see Obtaining the Oracle Fusion Middleware Software.

Finding Oracle WebLogic Server (FMW Infrastructure) Installation Instructions

Follow the Oracle WebLogic Server (FMW Infrastructure) installation instructions, as described in Installing Oracle WebLogic Server and Coherence for WebLogic Server MT. The WebLogic Server installation must be completed so that an Oracle home directory is created; you do not have to create a WebLogic Server domain as the Oracle Forms and Reports installer will allow you to do this for your Oracle Forms and Reports products.

If you are installing on Microsoft Windows operating system, after your Oracle WebLogic Server (FMW Infrastructure) installation is complete, perform the steps in the following section.

Stopping Node Manager Before Installing Oracle Forms and Reports (Windows Only)

If you are installing Oracle Forms and Reports on a Microsoft Windows operating system, you must ensure that the Node Manager utility that was installed with Oracle WebLogic Server is stopped before you begin the installation:

Verify the Oracle WebLogic Server Node Manager utility is stopped. If it is running, end the process.

Determine if the nodemanager.properties file is present in the WebLogic_Home \common\nodemanager directory.

If the nodemanager.properties file is not present, continue installing Oracle Forms and Reports.

If the nodemanager.properties file does exist, open it and verify that the ListenPort parameter is included and that it is set. If the ListenPort parameter is not included or set, edit the nodemanager.properties file so that it is similar to the following, where NODE_MANAGER_LISTEN_PORT represents the port the Node Manager listens on, such as 5556:

2.3 Installing Oracle Identity and Access Management

Oracle Identity and Access Management helps to secure Oracle Forms and Reports installation.

Your Oracle Forms and Reports installation can be protected with Identity Management (see Secure Oracle Forms and Reports With Identity Management). If you choose to secure your Oracle Forms and Reports with Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Access Manager, you must download and install these products if you do not already have them.

Oracle Identity and Access Management must be installed in a separate Oracle home directory from your Oracle Forms and Reports installation (see Installing Oracle Forms and Reports in a New Oracle home). For performance reasons, Oracle recommends that Oracle Forms and Reports is installed on a separate machine from your Oracle Identity Management product.

See Installing and Configuring Oracle Identity and Access Management, to install and configure Oracle Identity and Access Management.

2.4 Installing and Configuring Oracle Forms and Reports

You have to perform a series of steps to install and then configure Oracle Forms using the configuration wizard.
