Pre-requisites
1) Download install files - Locations are found in the post http://oracleformsinfo.wordpress.com/2012/03/04/11gshoppinglist/ Make a directory e:\oracle\Installs to put all install files Install notepad++ \\isracard\shared\installs\notepad++ 2) Install JDK for Windows 64 bit - 64-bit JDK. Choose a java_home where to install it. I use D:\Oracle\Java
3) Put the java home in the PATH environment variable in my installation it is D:\Oracle\Java\ 4) Put the java home in the JAVA_HOME environment variable in my installation it is D:\Oracle\Java\ 5) Ensure the TEMP and TMP environment variables are set to a directory without spaces for example - c:\Temp 6) Ensure your PATH environment variable does not contain any spaces for example "Program Files (x86)"
FR 11.1.2 will not configure on 64bit windows if there are spaces in the path variable

The AdminServer will not start if there is an (x86) in the PATH environment variable; it could not parse beyond the (x86) point. You can test after you have installed Weblogic and Forms installation by running in cmd: D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\FRMDomain\bin> startweblogic.cmd If you get the result "_______________" was unexpected at this time." It means you have a space in your path variable.
7) Ensure that Anti-virus software has d:\oracle and e:\oracle excluded from protection
Installing WebLogic Server on 64-Bit Platforms Using 64-Bit JDK
Run the following command to install the oracle Weblogic server in console mode. > Set JAVA_HOME=D:\Oracle\Java > D:\Oracle\Java\bin\java -jar E:\Oracle\WL1035\wls1035_generic.jar -mode=console

Sign Jar files
There is a bug in 11g with the signing utility of webutil. As such we must first chnage the passwords in the sign_webutil file and then sign all jar files in the \java folder again. To fix the issue: 1. Backup and open the sign_webutil script in a text editor and check/read the 2 comments: REM *** Remove the text after the '=' below and replace with your password.
***
2. Locate the line:
KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=<Your KEYSTORE password>
and specify the desired password in accordance with your organization's policy:
KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=<yourPassword>
3. Locate the line: JAR_KEY_PASSWORD=<Your private key password>
and specify the desired password in accordance with your organization's policy:
JAR_KEY_PASSWORD==<yourPassword>
4. Save the script and run it again to sign the JAR file. Using this command: ORACLE_INSTANCE\bin\sign_webutil.bat %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\java\jacob.jar For example: d:\oracle\middleware\frminst\\bin\sign_webutil.bat d:\oracle\frmhome\forms\java\jacob.jar
You must then run this command for all jar files. After running the commands please check the modifies date of the jar files to ensure they have all been signed successfully.

If after configuring the server you see the form looks stuck in a grey window when you run the forms. The below error message will be seen in the java console when running forms. You did not sign the jars properly. Please resign
