Should the customer license Weblogic Server when upgrading to Forms 11g?
This is the extract from the Oracle Technology Global Price List Supplement.
Weblogic Server Basic license • The license for each edition of Oracle Internet Application Server and for Oracle Forms and Reports enables the right to full use of the WebLogic Server Basic license • This license has limitations to several Weblogic Server features, check in Oracle® Fusion Middleware Licensing Information 11g Release 1 (11.1.1), Appendix A WebLogic Server Basic • To verify that WebLogic Server is being used in accordance with the WebLogic Server Basic license you can run the script. See My Oracle Support article: Doc ID: 885587.1
Oracle Access Manager Basic license • This license is available within licenses for the following Oracle products: – Oracle Internet Application Server Standard Edition – Oracle Internet Application Server Standard Edition One – Oracle Internet Application Server Enterprise Edition
• Oracle Access Manager Basic is only for providing single sign-on capabilities to Oracle Internet Application Server and for custom Java applications previously developed for Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J). Products outside of this scope do not have the right to use Oracle Access Manager Basic.

Installing Oracle Forms 11.1.2 (11gR2) environment
1. Install Oracle Weblogic binaries 2. Install Oracle Forms 11.1.2 binaries 3. Configure a Weblogic Domain and an Oracle instance 4. Post-installation checks
Installing Oracle Forms 11.1.2 (11gR2) environment Step 1 - Install Oracle Weblogic binaries • Important points to be considered before downloading the software : – Determine your operating system versions : 32bit or 64bit – Specific WebLogic Server installers for Windows 32bit and Linux x86 32bit platforms include 32bit JVM/JDK – To install Oracle WebLogic Server onto a 64bit system use the WebLogic Server generic installer (wls1035_generic.jar) that does not include a JVM/JDK, hence, a certified 64bit JDK must be installed previously
• After the installation you will have: – Middleware Home (MW_HOME) – Weblogic home (MW_HOME\wlserver_10.3)
Installing Oracle Forms 11.1.2 (11gR2) environment Step 2 - Install Oracle Forms 11.1.2 binaries • Download Oracle Forms/Reports 11.1.2 binaries for your platform (from OTN or edelivery.oracle.com) • Start the installer and choose Install Software – Do not configure option (this install just binaries) • Specific ORACLE_HOME will be created inside MW_HOME
Installing Oracle Forms 11.1.2 (11gR2) environment Step 3 - Configure a Weblogic Domain and an Oracle instance • Start Configuration Wizard from Forms ORACLE_HOME: $ORACLE_HOME/bin/config.sh (cmd) . You can also use Configure Classic Instance menu item in the Windows Start Menu. • The wizard will configure an Weblogic Domain (for java components) and an Oracle Instance (non-java components – OHS, WebCache…) • You should choose from configuring for development or for deployment (more on this on the next slide) • You can also specify link to OID and specify SSO integration type (Oracle SSO or OAM 11g)
Installing Oracle Forms 11.1.2 (11gR2) environment Step 3 - Configure a Weblogic Domain and an Oracle instance •Deployment – dedicated WLS managed server for both Forms and Reports. EM Agent and OHS are installed •Development – Forms and Reports servlets are deployed on WLS Admin Server. No OHS and EM Agent
Installing Oracle Forms 11.1.2 (11gR2) environment Step 3 - Configure a Weblogic Domain and an Oracle instance •Specify the locations of your binaries (Oracle Forms home); •Pick the name and the location of the Oracle Instance;
Installing Oracle Forms 11.1.2 (11gR2) environment Step 3 - Configure a Weblogic Domain and an Oracle instance •Weblogic domain will be created, so you need to provide it’s name, location and the administrative user credentials
Installing Oracle Forms 11.1.2 (11gR2) environment Step 3 - Configure a Weblogic Domain and an Oracle instance •Check only the components that you need in your environment •Here is the example of the available components for the development configuration
Installing Oracle Forms 11.1.2 (11gR2) environment Step 4 - Post-installation checks • After completion of the Configuration Wizard your Forms environment will be up and running (both Weblogic server(s) and OPMN-managed components) • You can access – Test Form – Weblogic Console – Fusion Middleware Control (if you has configured for deployment)
Installing Oracle Forms 11.1.2 (11gR2) environment Step 4 - Post-installation checks • Accessing FORMS from the browser – Development install: • http://:7001/forms/frmservlet – Deployment install: • http://:9001/forms/frmservlet

Configuring Oracle Forms 11g environment
Configuration is already done by installation. You only need to customize Forms Services • • • •
formsweb.cfg default.env forms.conf registry.dat
Configuring Oracle Forms 11g environment
• formsweb.cfg – Located into : • $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_FORMS /applications/formsapp_11.1.2/config – Specifies runtime parameters for Forms apps – Client-server equivalent of command line options
– All parameters listed in the documentation : • Deployment Guide for Forms Services http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/doc.11120/e24477.pdf
Configuring Oracle Forms 11g environment
formsweb.cfg • Runtime parameters • All settings can be set in the default section • Application sections override default • You can have many environments using the single installation
Configuring Oracle Forms 11g environment
• default.env – Located into : • $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_FORMS /applications/formsapp_11.1.2/config
• Specifies runtime environment variables • equivalent of environment variables or Windows Registry entries • each application can choose to use its own ENV file with the envFile setting in formsweb.cfg: envFile=summit.env
Configuring Oracle Forms 11g environment
• default.env • Environment variables • Each app section can have an env file
• forms.conf – In 11g, forms.conf is the Oracle HTTP listener configuration file for Oracle Forms Services • It defines WebLogic handler mappings for the Managed Server where the Forms Services applications are deployed – forms.conf is an Oracle HTTP Server directives file. In Oracle Fusion Middleware, the forms.conf file is included in the Oracle HTTP Server configuration directory at $ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OHS//moduleconf
Configuring Oracle Forms 11g environment
• forms.conf (when OHS is NOT installed) – Located into : • \config\FormsComponent\forms\server – Includes Virtual Paths
Configuring Oracle Forms 11g environment • Registry.dat contains the default font, font mappings, and icon information that Forms Services uses. – Located into : • $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_FORMS/application s/formsapp_11.1.2/config/forms/registry/oracle/forms/registry
• Can be modified via FMW Control – Specifies icon path – Equivalent of Registry Entry UI_ICON – Font mapping
Configuring Oracle Forms 11g environment Transform .ico into .gif – Icons must be converted into .gif or .jpg files – Package .gif into a Java archive .jar file > cd > \jdk\bin\jar cvf myicons.jar *.gif
– Copy the jar file into \forms\java – Add the jar file name to the ARCHIVE parameter of the right section in the formsweb.cfg – Set the Applet parameter ImageBase=codebase Archive=frmall.jar, myicons.jar imageBase=codebase
