Deployment of Oracle Forms Application

Follow the below steps:

1.    Login to the server with the user with which Oracle Application Server installation was carried out.

2.    Take a backup of the default.env file located at C:\<MidTier
Home>\forms\server and rename the file as app.env. Where app represents the application name and .env - represents the environment file.


3.    Make modification to the app.env file that would suit the application environment for the following parameters:

·         ORACLE_HOME - C:\ <MidTier Home>\
·         FORMS_PATH - C:\ <MidTier Home>\\forms\app
·         WEBUTIL_CONFIG - C:\ <MidTier Home>\forms\server\webutil.cfg

4.    The FORMSWEB.CFG has to be modified to include app.env these would include:
    
a.    Make a copy of the webutil session in the formsweb.cfg file and rename to the application name
b.    Change the parameters for the app section in the file:

§  form = new_menu.fmx - This is the very first form that would be launched when you hit the weblink for the application.
§  env = app.env - This is the environment file that would be used for the application.
§   
5.    Copy all .fmx (Oracle Forms executable) to the location specified in the app.env file.
6.    Make sure all required database tns entries are added to C:\<MidTier Home>\network\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora file location. Also test the database connectivity using tnsping command.
7.    Then the form services are restarted from the OEM Console and then view the weburl for the application.
