Please do not try to install Weblogic 14.1.1.0, that supports only JAVA deployments as on date. Oracle says they are committed to release a version that supports Oracle Forms and Reports & the stack is under development.

Few days back I received an interesting message from one of the visitors, having troubles with their WebLogic installation, inquiring about the frequent crashes. My visitor Mr. Rabin Mitra later figured out it was due to using 32Bit JDK with 64Bit WebLogic infrastructure.

After successfully executing "startnodemanger.cmd" and "startWeblogic.cmd", I am able to start the Weblogic Console UI. However, any action (such as clicking on Server button) within the UI crashes Weblogic! The error is as follows:

# There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
# Native memory allocation (malloc) failed to allocate 1210952 bytes for Chunk::new

Mr. Rabin has confirmed that he had to uninstall the complete WebLogic installation & redo as replacing 32Bit JDK with 64Bit was not sufficient enough to address the continued issues with installation. Please go through the below text and links, incase if you are in the same “soup” ;)

I am happy to report that the 32-bit version of JDK on my 64-bit machine was indeed the problem. However, merely replacing the JDK does not solve the problem. The reason for this is that the jar file for WebLogic was extracted using the 32-bit JDK. This implies that the WebLogic must as well be reinstalled. This again in turn means that the Domain must be re-created and since the domain is associated with a repository, the repository must also be reinstalled. So, it turns out that one must dismantle each piece and reinstall it from scratch!


Installing the JDK is the #1 instruction. So, an incorrect choice here pretty much sets you back completely. You may want to provide this as a caution to your readers.

So here briefly is the sequence of events one must follow if they chose an incorrect version of JDK.

This time we are going to see how we could install and configure Oracle forms & reports 12.2.1.4, the latest version using WebLogic Server 12c 12.2.1.4

Side Note: Kindly refer this document from Oracle System Requirements and Specifications (oracle.com)

The Visual C++ requirements mentioned MUST be met, without which you will NOT able to startup OHS instance.

Prior Installing Oracle Server Software on your computer, please make sure that your computer has a proper name (hostname) like “JOHN-PC, RAJESH-PC, ORACLE-SERVER” etc instead of defaults like ‘DESKTOP-jyyytyuukkyjj’ after an installation of Windows. In addition, please make sure that your laptop/Desktop machine has a Static IP address.

As a rule of thumb, regardless whether you are going to install and configure Oracle software on LINUX or Windows operating systems, always update the OS to latest patch levels, prior you start with the Oracle software installation(s). I strongly recommend using Oracle VirtualBox based Virtual Machines for the lab & later you may move the tried out solution to your preferred environments (TEST, Development). I don’t recommend any of the suggestions I make through my blog posts to be applied to PRODUCTION environments without consulting a Professional support entity.

As per Mr. Rabin Mitra’s suggestion, I am adding a clause. “Please double check whether all the software you have downloaded for the installation is of same architecture. The below instructions are for 64Bit Weblogic installation & starting from JDK all the software downloaded must be 64Bit”

Download Software from Oracle

Fusion Middleware Infrastructure Installer (Weblogic)

https://www.oracle.com/middleware/technologies/weblogic-server-installers-downloads.html

Oracle Forms & Reports 12.2.1.4

https://www.oracle.com/middleware/technologies/forms/downloads.html

JAVA SE Development Kit 1.8

https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

Install JDK

I prefer installing JDK on C: drive & Usually my JDK is installed on C:\Java\JDK folder. The shortest name, the best to handle it later. Once the 64Bit JDK is installed, you need to setup either JAVA_HOME environment variable or add a new entry in to the system path. I prefer a system path modification than user path modification.

Okay, there are hell loads of Oracle software installed on my system. Don’t worry, I manage them. Just make sure the JDK installation path is on top of the list and you are good to go

Install Weblogic Server 12.2.1.4

It may take a while for the jar file to extract and start the installer. Please wait patiently. I was setting up the entire infrastructure using Windows 10 VM & due to the limited resources, hence the entire ordeal was kind of time taking this time for me.

You can safely skip the Auto Update

Naming Oracle installation folders is an art. The complex the folder structures, the complex later configurations would be. I usually prefer to install all my Oracle software on D: drive. Please feel comfortable to format the Oracle home as per your requirements. Maintaining the same format helps me to locate and sometimes replace files from previous installations.

Select “Fusion Middleware Infrastructure”

WebLogic or Middleware installation is NOT complex anymore on Windows 10 OS. There are no special hacks needs to complete the installation.

Install forms & reports 12.2.1.4

Extract the downloaded zip file & you MUST start the installer as “Administrator”.

We’ve to install the Forms and Reports stack on an existing Oracle Home. So please select the Oracle Home where you have installed “WebLogic” Server. Alternatively you can always install the stack on a different Oracle Home, which I never tried earlier.

Select “Forms and Reports Deployment”, as the last two versions of Forms & Reports allow you to install a Standalone Forms Builder.

Select the correct JDK Home

Please make sure that you have Visual C++ libraries pre-installed prior proceeding. If you don’t have the VC++ libraries installed, the OHS instance will not start & you might experience additional problems during installation also.

That completes the Forms & Reports 12.2.1.4 installation.

Create a REPO for the Classic Domain

To create a classic domain, you must have a repository available with the database. Weblogic 12c supports Oracle 11G 11.2.0.4 or later database for the repositories & my pick will be always 12c Database as the 11.2.0.4 is only accessible for customers with valid Oracle support. You may refer this document for a detailed “how to” towards installing Oracle 12c database.

From an elevated command prompt, switch to Oracle Home\oracle_common\bin folder & execute “rcu.bat”

Check the below image for details

Choose the defaults

Provide the connection parameters. If the database is on another server, you don’t have to install additional clients, connection parameters will take care of the connection. Refer the below image for details (Adjust according to your database setup)

My 12c Database already has a repository for Forms & Reports 12c 12.2.1.3, hence I created a new prefix “DEV1”. If you are creating a repo for the first time, you can use “DEV” or any other 3 letter combination (make sure you will able to remember it laters).

Select all the components as seen with the below image. The selected are mandatory, especially the Metadata Services.

Use the same password everywhere! Unless you are setting up a production instance, use the same password everywhere. Example, I use “Abc1234” for the schemas, Weblogic Admin account, node manager etc, which makes the administration much easier. For production, follow the Oracle standards.

That completes the repository creation for a Classic domain.

Create a Classic Domain for deploying forms & reports application

From an elevated command prompt, switch to Oracle Home\oracle_common\common\bin (eg: D:\Weblogic\Middleware\Oracle_Home\oracle_common\common\bin) & execute config.cmd, that will kick start the classic domain configuration wizard.

Select the defaults, unless you have specifics. We will be creating a new domain with the following example.

Refer the below images and select the same components for a successful domain creation for forms and reports.

As I mentioned earlier, use the same password here, so that you don’t have to worry about forgetting & recovering it at later stages.

We will setup the domain for production (never tried Development, so don’t know how exactly both differ from each other). Leave the JDK selection as it is.

Now, your earlier created repository will come in act. Refer the below image(s) and adjust as per your environment

Make sure all the Schema validations are successful. Next step select components as per the below image

Make sure the Server Group is filled the value as seen with the below image. Don’t miss it!

We’ll add an instance OHS now. Click on the add button and refer the below images for more details

Fill in the Listen Address with “localhost” and leave rest to defaults

That finishes the creation of your classic domain.

You should able to access the newly created WebLogic admin server through the URL http://localhost:7001/console

I’m hurrying to publish the POST without further delays, as I am once again caught up with multiple assignments & keeping up with promises are NOT something I look up to at this time. However, I will add up the missing configurations for OHS and setting up the Forms and reports very soon an an annexure as early as possible!

19th June 2020

Today I installed & configured another Weblogic Server environment & realized that I was supposed to amend this post with more details, is a long due!

I chose a Container+PDB 12c database instance for my Weblogic Server this time. It was fun, finally learning few things about Container and pluggable databases & I am hoping to write another post about setting up Weblogic, Forms and Reports with such a setup in near future.

Now without wasting more time, let us see how to finalize the freshly configured classic domain for Oracle Forms and Reports deployment.

Switch to the your newly created domain’s bin folder from an elevated command prompt. Eg:

“D:\Weblogic\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\base_domain\bin”. Usually I always installed Oracle software on D: drive & follow the same naming structure for the folders. It helps me to backup and restore configuration & other files that help me to finish setting up the environments faster.

Start the nodemanger now by issuing the command by executing the command “startnodemanger.cmd”

It may take few seconds to minutes until the node manager starts for the first time. Please remember, you shouldn’t close this command window, which will automatically stop the node manager.

Open another elevated command prompt window and switch to your classic domain’s bin folder. Start the Weblogic admin server by issuing the command “startWeblogic.cmd”

Okay, with node manager, 99.9% chances that you may not bite bullet. With Weblogic Admin server, this is not the case. For number reasons, the Server will try to start and give up in the middle. So don’t panic. If the Weblogic Admin Server is not coming up to a “RUNNING” status after extended period of waiting, go ahead and restart your computer. Start node manager and then try to start the weblogic admin server once again.

The initial startup could take up to 5-6 minutes (depending upon your hardware, this time could vary) & you should see a status like below

Remember not to close the window, which will immediately stop the Weblogic Admin Server. The status of the window will keep on updated against the activities happening at the server side. Once started, you can safely keep both node manager and Weblogic Admin Server CMD windows minimized.

You can logon to the Weblogic Admin server from http://localhost:7001/console

Once after successfully logging in, this is the window you are presented with. We’ve to configure both Forms & Report servers now, by trying to start them. This process will keep on adding many elements to your start menu. Let us see we can start Forms (WLS_FORMS) & Reports (WLS_REPORTS) servers now

Click on the “Control” tab, select both “WLS_FORMS” & “WLS_REPORTS” from servers and press the “Start” button. Once start button clicked, you can press the refresh button to monitor the status of the Servers. Do not forget to click the refresh button again to stop refreshing once after the servers show the status “Running”

It could take minutes for both the servers to reach the “Running” stage. Keep watching the Admin Server command window for unexpected errors. If you have followed all the steps as I’ve instructed throughout my thread, I can confidently say that you shouldn’t have a single hick up until this moment.

Once both servers are running, we can complete the OHS setup finally. Open another elevated command prompt. Switch to Oracle_Common\common\bin folder

Eg: D:\Weblogic\Middleware\Oracle_Home\oracle_common\common\bin and start Weblogic Scripting Tool (wlst)

Now you can issue the command “ohs_updateInstances()” at the wlst prompt & once the configuration completed, exit wlst by issuing “exit()”

You can try to logon to Weblogic Enterprise Manager console and start the newly setup OHS instance now.

Logon to Weblogic Enterprise Manager from http://localhost:7001/em & click the carousal menu by the left hand side

and expand HTTP Server to view your newly created OHS instance. In our case “ohs1”. Click on “ohs1” to open the control panel for the instance

Click the Start up button to start the OHS instance & after showing you message window stating you cannot stop the starting/stopping process, OHS will start. It could take few seconds to minutes depending upon your hardware and available resources.

Give special attention to “Machine Name”.

Now we will see how to bring OHS instance in action by setting up the few other factors like node manager security, configuration files.

Logon to Weblogic console @ http://localhost:7001/console

Lock & Edit the domain security values, please refer the image below for details

nm

Provide a meaningful name for the node manager account and supply a password. I used the same password for the total 12c deployment, unless you are setting up a PRODUCTION instance, you may use the common password across the 12c instances for easy administration of objects when required. Shutdown the services (better). Once the node manager properties are changed, restart the WLS admin server. Please note, always stop all running servers (forms & reports) services prior shutting down the Admin server & I suggest you gracefully shutdown the Admin server by running “StopWeblogic.cmd” instead of using the Weblogic console.

Move to your Oracle Home folder. I have installed Weblogic server in D:\Weblogic\Middleware folder, hence my Oracle home folder is

D:\Weblogic\Middleware\Oracle_Home\

(Adjust your paths accordingly)

Edit forms.conf file in the folder D:\Weblogic\Middleware\Oracle_Home\forms\templates\config\

By default this template file comes with commented examples, like following

#<Location /forms/>
#        SetHandler weblogic-handler
#        WebLogicHost host
#        WeblogicPort port
#</Location>

You need to uncomment one of the blocks starting from <Location /forms> until </Location> & add properties specific to your deployment, for example, my computer’s name is “RAJESH-PC” and I am using default ports for both forms and reports applications, hence I have the properties set like following

<Location /forms/>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost HOME-THEATER
WebLogicPort 9001
</Location>

Once altered, copy forms.conf to OHS instance “moduleconf” folder. I have copied the file to following location: (Alter according to your setup)

D:\Weblogic\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\base_domain\config\fmwconfig\components\OHS\instances\ohs1\moduleconf

Now we will edit the configuration file for reports

Switch to “D:\Weblogic\Middleware\Oracle_Home\reports\conf” folder & edit “reports_ohs.conf” and add a block like following (alter according to your setup)

<Location /reports/>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost HOME-THEATER
WebLogicPort 9002
</Location>

Copy the edited file to

D:\Weblogic\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\base_domain\config\fmwconfig\components\OHS\instances\ohs1\moduleconf

Now the OHS instance know about the deployments and once after restarted, you can try to start the forms based application through the OHS instance, rather than calling it against the default port (9001)

Once the OHS instance is updated with the new information, try to start the OHS instance from a command prompt using storeUserConfig parameter

D:\Weblogic\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\base_domain\bin>startComponent.cmd ohs1 storeUserConfig

ohs_manually

1st run, you will be prompted for node manager password, supply the password you have setup earlier and OHS instance should start without creating a fuzz in usual scenarios

In future if you want to start the OHS instance, unless made changes to the configurations, just run

D:\Weblogic\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\base_domain\bin>startComponent.cmd ohs1

Above concludes the 1st of level of configurations for Oracle forms based application. You can use Weblogic 12c Enterprise Manager to configure most of the forms environment related parameters like forms path and other, while I am yet to find out relevant configuration areas for reports.

image

You can manually modify the formsweb.cfg & default.env files to start with as well

Regardless whether you are going to use the in-process report server or a stand alone instance of the reports, many changes should be made to the configuration files, so that you can call the reports server from a Forms module

Generally we will be modifying multiple configuration files, I will try my level best to provide the exact locations for the files which you should change according to your installation preferences

Configuration files path (Please note, through versions, there are minor changes happened to these configuration files. The images below were copied from my previous post about configuring for deployment, however the settings remain the same for 12.2.1.4 (as tested on 19th June 2020))

D:\Weblogic\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\base_domain\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_REPORTS\applications\reports_12.2.1\configuration

  1. rwservlet.properties – Servlet specific properties
  2. rwserver.conf – Server properties
  3. cgicmd.dat – key mapping file

1. As far you are using in-process reports server, nothing much to alter with “rwservlet.properties” file. Basically you should see entries like following in the opened file:

image


2. rwserver.conf (Please check the below image)

image

3. cgicmd.dat: Many values we supply to call a report using Web.Show_Document method could potentially expose vital information like the database details & many other. “cgicmd.dat” file helps us to map such values to keys and later use them wherever applicable. With this example, I will demonstrate, how the database username, password and service name are mapped using a key. Please check the image attached below

image

Once these configurations files are altered, we need to create a report instance for the WLS_REPORT server. Open an elevated command prompt and switch to “D:\Weblogic\Middleware\Oracle_Home\oracle_common\common\bin”. Start wlst & connect to the server.

Issue the command

createReportsToolsInstance(instanceName='rptools1', machine='AdminServerMachine')

Note, you can choose your own name for the report instance. Once the report instance created, exit wlst and you can try to start the WLS_REPORT server from the weblogic console.

This comprehensive note should help you to quickly start with Oracle Forms & Reports 12c (12.2.1.4)

I am avoiding few elements like publishing a Forms based application for now. If you feel, should be added, please let me know through the comments section.

WebLogic 12c 12.2.1.3 Installation & configuring for forms & reports

Hi guys

Update: 13th February 2019

Downloading the installing Oracle software could be a challenging task at times, WebLogic 12c Forms & Reports installation is NOT very different Especially if you are as usual skipping the “read me” areas)

I will try to explain the download and extraction activities related Oracle forms and reports 12c below.

Visit https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/downloads/index.html for downloading the installation media. There are two ZIP files for Oracle forms and reports. Download both of them.

Once the files are downloaded, you need to extract both the zip files into a single folder

1st ZIP archive extracts “setup_fmw_12.2.1.3.0_fr_win64.exe” & 2nd ZIP archive extracts “setup_fmw_12.2.1.3.0_fr_win64-2.zip”. During installation,
“setup_fmw_12.2.1.3.0_fr_win64.exe” expects
“setup_fmw_12.2.1.3.0_fr_win64-2.zip”, hence, do NOT extract
“setup_fmw_12.2.1.3.0_fr_win64-2.zip”. To make it simple, for Oracle installation, move the following files to a new folder, call it “Forms_Installer_12c”

D:\Forms_Installer_12c

and copy/move both
“setup_fmw_12.2.1.3.0_fr_win64.exe” & “setup_fmw_12.2.1.3.0_fr_win64-2.zip” to this folder. Less confusing this way :)

========

One of the posts that is doing great according to a blogger’s expectation is about WebLogic 12c installation & configuring it for deploying Oracle forms/reports based applications.

Well, I totally missed the fact that Oracle periodically updates their software & missed out the current version of WebLogic 12c 12.2.1.3. It didn’t even ring a single bell when someone asked me about an error that was happening during his attempts to get 12c installed, which was specific to 12.2.1.3.

My previous post about WebLogic 12c strictly deals with version 12.2.1.0.0 for the areas of creating a new repository for WebLogic infrastructure and configuring a user domain. There are minor changes with 12.2.1.3, and those changes sure require mentions.

Prerequisites

Oracle WebLogic 12c, Oracle forms and reports require Visual C++ verion 11 preinstalled. Although the installation would proceed after showing missing prerequisites, I will NOT suggest you to take unknown risks. If possible, make sure your box is completely updated with latest Microsoft patches for the specific operating system.

This time I will take the freedom to believe that you already have Oracle 12c database installed and avoid going through the database installation procedures.

As a thumb rule, install Java JDK 8, the latest version available in a folder like C:\java\jdk or C:\JDK or D:\Jdk (the shortest path name possible).

Switch to the folder where you have downloaded the software required for Weblogic 12.2.1.3 installation and configuration from an “elevated” command prompt.

Check the below image for details:

https://i0.wp.com/simpleoracle.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/11.png?resize=640%2C335&ssl=1

3

It looks like Oracle has finally realized that 99% of the public will opt skip updates, hence they made it as default this time ;)

4

By following the classic way of naming the installation folders, you save tremendous time & efforts to locate configuration files (Especially if you are following my posts). I always choose to install the weblogic stack on D:\Weblogic\Middleware\Oracle_Home. This helps me to setup the environment next time by keeping exact path information for configuration files etc.

5
6
7
8
9
10

Select “Fusion Middleware infrastructure” (Default)

That’s all folks, your Weblogic stack is installed & you are ready to go ahead with the installation of Oracle forms and reports 12c now.

Basically you shouldn’t ignore the following “Warning” about Visual C++ element. I’ve found that Visual C++ causing serious issues with OHS instance starting during my previous attempts, hence make sure you install Visual C++ recommended version is installed in the machine.

The above installation(s) should be go all smoother than previous versions & now we can move to configuring our first domain using the latest WebLogic Stack installed.

Setup repository for the domain

Suggestion(s):

  1. I suggest you totally disabling the password expiry for the entire database that you will be using for your WebLogic lab (12c). Ignoring this element could land you in difficult situations in case if you are not meticulously maintaining the password changing routines.
  2. Always invoke scripts as administrator, this provides you the elevation on Windows 7 onward Windows OS

Execute rcu.bat from the following installation path. Please note, I have installed WebLogic software onD:\Weblogic\Middleware\Oracle_Home\oracle_common\bin folder (Which is the standard way I name the installation folder, this helps me to copy much of the elements between installations, upgrade processes), so I will be executing the “rcu.bat” file from “D:\Weblogic\Middleware\Oracle_Home\oracle_common\bin”. Adjust your path accordingly.

1
2

We will choose “System Load and Product Load” which is default for our repository as well. Please note, you should use the same “rcu.bat” for dropping the repositories, if you have to at later stages.

3

For all WebLogic labs, I suggest the same password for Database and WebLogic. You can go for simple passwords like “YourName123” which satisfies “most” of the implied complexity for passwords.

4
5

If you have entered the database credentials and other details correctly, the checking should be done within no time.

Now we will create the repository for our domain. Please note, the new profile name could be anything. Instead of “DEV” which is by default assigned by Oracle, you may choose your name in that place. Make sure you note down the name of the profile somewhere for future references. Select all the components as seen with the below image.

(Please note, I have copied the images from 12.2.1.4 installation and replaced few of the images with this post as one comment mentioned that I didn’t choose MetaData Services with the old image(s) provided, so please don’t get confused. Rest of the images provided may “miss” the metadata services related information & instead of “DEV”, you may see “DEV1” at places. Please ignore)

7a
8
9
10
11
12
13

Select same password for all schema.

I have the entire setup on a SSD, hence the time to create and configure the repo could be significantly much less than over a spinning drive system.

14

That completes our repository creation. Please make sure that you note down the repository name and the password(s) somewhere for future references.

Now we will create our 1st domain with our fresh Weblogic 12c 12.2.1.3 environment. Just make sure that the JDK installation path is the 1st entry in the PATH environment variable.

Invoke “config.cmd” file as administrator from “D:\Weblogic\Middleware\Oracle_common\common\bin” folder. Adjust the path according to your installation preferences.

1

We will create a new domain for the lab now. Leave the default domain location as suggested by Oracle. Change it ONLY if you know what you are doing at this point of time.

2

For Oracle Forms and reports, the below product selection is spanned over 3 different images. Make a list of the items selected, and make sure you don’t miss any of them before proceeding to next step.

3
3a
3b

Once all elements are selected for the domain, you can proceed.

4

As a standard approach, I am using the same password for the WebLogic Administrator account, leave the suggested administrator name as “weblogic”

5
6

We’ll go for production for Domain Mode. JDK location will be automatically picked. Do not change it, unless you have a valid reason.

Now we have to supply the repository details, those we have saved during the creation of repository. The details will be cross checked prior by the configuration tool. Once after supplying the details click the “Get RCU Configuration” button.

7
8
9
10

Once the repository validations done, it’s time to select the components for your domain. Make sure the checked elements are selected for your domain as well.

11

Do not miss to select “WSMPM-MAN-SVR” for the Server Groups, failing will FAIL the configuration of the domain. I don’t know what the heck it is, I may read about it one day and update myself. For now, I suggest you select the said group from the drop down list and proceed.

28

Failing to select the Server Groups will land you on this page, which you don’t want! Make sure you will do the “WSMPM-MAN-SVR” Selection for the Server Groups.

29

I corrected the error at my side by dropping the repository, recreating & configuring the domain once again.

30
31

So we have created a classic domain now. We need to setup an OHS instance and setup the domain for deploying our forms based applications now.

To configure the newly configured domain, you may use the 12.2.1.2 configuration instructions as posted here

Right now, you can use my previous posts about Install Weblogic 12c and setting up OHS, forms & reports for WebLogic 12c as reference materials to setup your new classic domain or wait for me to post a followup with version specific details.
