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."

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=

and specify the desired password in accordance with your organization's policy: KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=

3. Locate the line: JAR_KEY_PASSWORD=

and specify the desired password in accordance with your organization's policy: JAR_KEY_PASSWORD==

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
