Oracle Forms and Reports 11g R2 installation Error

Question

I am installing Oracle Forms and Reports 11g R2, but facing error while setting installation locations -

1. my System is Windows XP - 32 bit with all pre-requisites
2. I have installed WebLogic Server 12c (12.1.2) and this working fine.

While installing forms, i am not able to process next. Error INST-07248 - Weblogic and Middleware home location is not valid.

how to resolve this issue?

Answer 1

My understanding is Forms and Reports use a very specific version of weblogic application server to run locally. If you have sourced your own version of weblogic - I would check its interoperability with Oracle Forms and Reports 11g R2.

Unless otherwise documented, avoid installing any other Oracle Fusion Middleware products in the same Middleware home as Oracle Forms and Reports.

Answer 2

The only versions of Weblogic supported to run Oracle Forms 11g R2 are Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.5) or 10.3.6
