Jan-Peter Timmermann Consulting Sunday, November 24, 2019 14 Installing Oracle Forms in a New Oracle Home Oracle Forms must be installed inside an Oracle home directory, which is created when Oracle WebLogic Server is installed. Oracle Forms must be installed in its own Oracle home directory that it does not share with any other Oracle Fusion Middleware products of a different version.

Although Oracle BI-Publisher 12.2.1.4 can be called from Oracle Forms 12.2.1.4 applications, this BI-Publisher version cannot be installed into the same Oracle home as Forms.

Install WebLogic Server Infrastructure. Install Forms/Reports Software. Run Repository Creation Utility (RCU). Run Configuration Wizard.
