2 Installing and Configuring Oracle Forms and Reports

This chapter describes how to install and configure Oracle Forms and Reports.

The following topics are covered:

2.1 Preparing to Install

Before you begin, read this section carefully to make sure that your environment and other software needs are met prior to installing Oracle Forms and Reports.

2.1.1 Reviewing System Requirements and Specifications

Before performing any installation you should read the system requirements documentation to ensure that your environment meets the minimum installation requirements for the products you are installing.

The system requirements document covers information such as hardware and software requirements, database schema requirements, minimum disk space and memory requirements, and required system libraries, packages, or patches. This document can be found on the Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications page.

2.1.2 Reviewing Certification Information

Before performing any upgrade or installation you should read the Oracle Fusion Middleware certification document for your particular release. It is located on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page.

2.1.3 Reviewing Interoperability and Compatibility

Before performing any upgrade or installation you should read the Oracle Fusion Middleware Interoperability and Compatibility Guide for Oracle Forms and Reports . This document contains important information regarding the ability of Oracle Fusion Middleware products to function with previous versions of other Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle, or third-party products. This information is applicable to both new Oracle Fusion Middleware users and existing users who are upgrading their existing environment.

2.1.4 Understanding Oracle Fusion Middleware Concepts

If you are new to Oracle Fusion Middleware, you should read Understanding Oracle Fusion Middleware to familiarize yourself with some of the concepts and terminology you will encounter.

2.1.5 Obtaining the Oracle Fusion Middleware Software

Depending on your specific needs, there are multiple places where you can obtain Oracle Fusion Middleware software. For details, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Download, Installation, and Configuration ReadMe Files page, where you can find the ReadMe file for your specific release.

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 (see Section 2.1.2, «Reviewing Certification Information») 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.

2.1.6 Installing Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports on Separate Servers

If you choose to install Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports on different servers, you must perform some manual configuration in order for these two products to be able to communicate properly with each other.

The instructions for doing so are available in «Communication Between Reports and Forms When Installed on Different Instances» in Oracle Fusion Middleware Publishing Reports to the Web with Oracle Reports Services .

2.1.7 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.

2.1.8 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 access to particular files or executables is required by other users, 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.

2.2 Installing Oracle WebLogic Server (FMW Infrastructure)

Oracle Forms and Reports requires Oracle WebLogic Server (FMW Infrastructure), which creates the Oracle home directory during installation. This section contains the following topics:

Make sure you read the Oracle Fusion Middleware certification document for your particular release to determine the minimum version of Oracle WebLogic Server (FMW Infrastructure) that is required. This document is located on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page.

2.2.1 Planning Your Oracle home Location for Oracle Reports (Windows Only)

If you are going to install Oracle Reports on a Windows operating system, make sure the path to your Oracle home directory is not too long. For more information, see Section C.3, «Verifying Environment Variable Lengths for Oracle Reports (Windows Only)».

2.2.2 Downloading the Correct Installer for your Operating System

See Section 2.1.5, «Obtaining the Oracle Fusion Middleware Software» for information on where to obtain your Oracle WebLogic Server (FMW Infrastructure) installer.

2.2.3 Finding Oracle WebLogic Server (FMW Infrastructure) Installation Instructions

For Oracle WebLogic Server (FMW Infrastructure) installation instructions, see «Running the Installation Program in Graphical Mode» in Installing and Configuring Oracle WebLogic Server and Coherence . The WebLogic Server installation must be completed so that a 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 a Windows operating system, be sure to read Section 2.2.4, «Stopping Node Manager Before Installing Oracle Forms and Reports (Windows Only)» after your Oracle WebLogic Server (FMW Infrastructure) installation is complete.

2.2.4 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 make sure 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, kill 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

Your Oracle Forms and Reports installation can be protected with Identity Management (see Section 1.2, «Securing 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 Section 2.1.7, «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.

Installation instructions for Oracle Identity and Access Management can be found in «Installing and Configuring Oracle Identity and Access Management» in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Identity Management .
