iTec: Installation of Database, Web Logic Server, Forms and Reports 12.2.1.3.0 on Window 10 64 bit

December 11, 2018
We have developed following Oracle platforms so far.

Oracle Developer 6i
Oracle Application Server 10g
Oracle Web Logic Server 11g with Middle-ware Forms and Reports 11g.
Oracle Databases 8, 8i, 10g and 11g

To day is the age of Window 10 at client end. Now it has become almost impossible or very much difficult to install Developer 6i on Window 10 and connect it with Oracle Database 11g. After a long hectic struggle we succeeded but when we run the form it displayed blank screen at all. We have tried our level best and searched the issue for couple of days but no one solution applied to solve this problem.

At the end we tiered and decided to upgrade the existing applications into the latest Oracle Infrastructure. We found that Oracle has released 12c Database, Web Logic Server and Middle Ware Forms and Reports. So we start to follow the following steps.

Step - 1. Understand the Infrastructure of 12c.
Step - 2. Prerequisites. In our case

Operating System Window 10 64 bit with full updates or at least with Microsoft Visual C++ Redistribution 2010 (VC++ 10.0)

jdk-8u172-windows-x64
winx64_12201_database
Web Logic Server fmw_12.2.1.3.0_infrastructure_Disk1_1of1
Forms and Reports fmw_12.2.1.3.0_fr_win64_Disk1_1of2 and fmw_12.2.1.3.0_fr_win64_Disk1_2of2
The user from whom the installation will be taken place must have the full wrights of Administrator as login window as administrator.

Step - 3. Download JDK 8u172 for window 64 bit. java version "1.8.0_172". Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_172-b11). Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.172-b11, mixed mode) download link is here

Step - 4. Right click on jdk-8u172-windows-x64 and select run as administrator to Install jdk 8u172 on root directory of C:\ i.e during installation change directory and remove Program File from jdk installation as it has space and java does not accept space in path. Also remove Program File from jre directory i.e first create directory for jre and then select that one directory like.

Now check at cmd run as administrator and run following command.

C:\>java -version

java version "1.8.0_172"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_172-b11)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.172-b11, mixed mode)

Create Environment Variable

Right clik on This PC and select property then select Advanced System Setting and press Environment Variable Button

Press New enter JAVA_HOME and give value C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_172\bin

select path, press new button and enter value C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_172\bin also move it to first.

Step - 5 Download and Installation of Database 12c (winx64_12201_database). Extract below ziped file. Link is here

winx64_12201_database

Open the extracted folder name winx64_12201_database and you will find only one folder name database by default created. Open database folder you will find setup file like this.

Right click on setup file and select run as administrator.

Uncheck the check box and press next.

Press Next.

Press Next

In my case i select Use Virtual Account and press Next

Correct the path if you want to install on another drive, provide Global Database Name and password. This password will be used to connect sys, manager etc already created accounts by default.
