export FORMS_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/fr12214 export PATH=$FORMS_HOME/bin:$PATH Oracle Forms & Reports requires metadata schemas in a database (Oracle Database 12c/18c/19c). Use RCU to create these.
cd /u01/app/oracle/config/domains/fr_domain/bin ./startNodeManager.sh & Verify: tail -f $DOMAIN_HOME/nodemanager/nodemanager.log – look for "Plain socket listener started on port 5556". ./startWebLogic.sh Wait for "RUNNING" mode. Access console: http://your-server:7001/console Step 7.3 – Start Managed Servers From WebLogic Console or manually: install oracle forms reports 12214 with weblogic 12c 122
./startManagedWebLogic.sh WLS_FORMS http://your-server:7001 ./startManagedWebLogic.sh WLS_REPORTS http://your-server:7001 Or start both from admin console: .
