Software

Download the Forms and Reports 12c (12.2.1) software from Oracle Technology Network.

Prerequisites

In addition to any prerequisites performed during the WebLogic 12c installation, the following packages should be installed in they are not already present. Turning off the firewall and setting SELinux to Permissive reduces the chances of problems during the installation. You can see how to do this here . The rest of the article assumes all required software is present in the "/u01/software" directory. Adjust as required.

Installation

Unzipping the "fmw_12.2.1.0.0_fr_linux64_Disk1_1of1.zip" file produces an executable ".bin" file, which starts the installer. Run the installer, referencing the "forms.rsp" and "oraInst.loc" files. Your software installation is now complete.

Code/Command (click line numbers to comment):

$ cd /u01/software
$ unzip fmw_12.2.1.0.0_fr_linux64_Disk1_1of1.zip

$ export JAVA_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/jdk1.8.0_77
$ ./fmw_12.2.1.0.0_fr_linux64.bin -silent -response /u01/software/forms.rsp -invPtrLoc /u01/software/oraInst.loc

Post-Installation

Unlike previous versions, where the Forms and Reports Services installation automatically created the domain, in 12c you need to do this manually performing the following steps. For more information see: Hope this helps. Regards Tim...
