Special Startup Requirements for Linux x86 or Linux x86-64 Operating Systems
If you are running Oracle Universal Installer on Linux x86 or Linux x86-64 operating systems, you must modify the value of the SHMMAX kernel parameter to avoid seeing errors generated by the Oracle Universal Installer. To do so:
[root@VTSTFORMS ~]# vi /etc/sysctl.conf
Change kernel.shmmax = 4294967295
[root@VTSTFORMS ~]# /sbin/sysctl –p ( reload the sysctl parameters )
[root@VTSTFORMS ~]# /sbin/sysctl -a | grep shmmax ( check the value )
kernel.shmmax = 4294967295
Following packages should be installed.
yum install binutils.x86_64 -y -q
yum install compat-libcap1.x86_64 -y -q
yum install compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64 -y -q
yum install compat-libstdc++-33.i686 -y -q
yum install gcc.x86_64 -y -q
yum install gcc-c++.x86_64 -y -q
yum install glibc.x86_64 -y -q
yum install glibc.i686 -y -q
yum install glibc-devel.i686 -y -q
yum install libaio.x86_64 -y -q
yum install libaio-devel.x86_64 -y -q
yum install libgcc.x86_64 -y -q
yum install libstdc++.x86_64 -y -q
yum install libstdc++.i686 -y -q
yum install libstdc++-devel.x86_64 -y -q
yum install libXext.i686 -y -q
yum install libXtst.i686 -y -q
yum install openmotif.x86_64 -y -q
yum install openmotif22.x86_64 -y -q
yum install redhat-lsb.x86_64 -y -q
yum install sysstat.x86_64 -y -q
yum install xorg-x11-utils.x86_64 -y –q
yum install oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall –y -q
Firewall
To turn off the firewall do the following as the "root" user.
# service iptables stop
# chkconfig iptables off
SELinux
Set SELinux to "permissive" by editing the "/etc/selinux/config" file, making sure the SELINUX flag is set as follows.
SELINUX=permissive
Once the change is complete, either restart the server or run the following command as "root".
# setenforce Permissive
Change the open file limits in /etc/security/limits.conf to whatever is appropriate for you environment
sed -i '/.*End of file/d' /etc/security/limits.conf
echo "* soft nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
echo "* hard nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
echo "# End of file" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
cat /etc/security/limits.conf
Create user, group and directories:
groupadd oinstall
useradd -g oinstall -G oinstall oracle
passwd oracle
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product
mkdir -p /home/oracle/tmp
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/
chmod -R 775 /u01/app/
chown -R oracle:oinstall /home/oracle/tmp/
chmod -R 775 /home/oracle/tmp/
Install Java or Jrockit
JRockit Installation on Linux
$ chmod u+x jrockit-jdk1.6.0_45-R28.2.7-4.1.0-linux-x64.bin
$ ./jrockit-jdk1.6.0_45-R28.2.7-4.1.0-linux-x64.bin
Click the "Next" button on the welcome screen.
Enter the relevant installation directory and click the "Next" button.
Pick any required optional components and click the "Next" button.
Wait for the installation to complete, then click the "Done" button.
You may want to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable in your .bash_profile file to point at the new installation.
export JAVA_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/jrockit-jdk1.6.0_45-R28.2.7-4.1.0
[oracle@VDEVFORMS ~]$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06)
Oracle JRockit(R) (build R28.2.7-7-155314-1.6.0_45-20130329-0641-linux-x86_64, compiled mode)
Setup Oracle WebLogic Server
The following actions should be performed by the "root" user.
Make sure the "/etc/hosts" file contains correct entries for both the "localhost" and real host names. ***Exactly like this***
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost localhost4.localdomain4
192.168.1.54 VDEVFORMS.fcicanada.com VDEVFORMS
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed.
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/fmw11g
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/config/domains
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/config/applications
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
chmod -R 775 /u01/
Append the following entries into the "/home/oracle/.bash_profile" file.
export MW_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw11g
export WLS_HOME=$MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3
export WL_HOME=$WLS_HOME
export JAVA_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/jrockit-jdk1.6.0_45-R28.2.7-4.1.0
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
As specified in MOS Note [ID 1487773.1], amend the "/etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf" file, making the following change.
# From
* soft nproc 1024
#To
* - nproc 16384
Installation
Run the installer as the "oracle" user.
$ $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -Xmx1024m -jar wls1035_generic.jar
$ $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -Xmx1024m -jar wls1036_generic.jar
Click the "Next" button on the welcome screen.
Enter the middleware home ("/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw11g") and click the "Next" button.
Either enter your support details, or attempt to uncheck the security updates checkbox. The box doesn't actually uncheck, but presents you with a warning dialog. If you click the "Yes" button, indicating you don't want updates, you are returned to the same screen with the box still checked. Click the "Next" button anyway.
Assuming you don't want security updates, click "Yes" and "Yes" on the subsequent warning dialogs and you are presented with the "Connection Failed" screen. Check the "I wish to remain uninformed..." checkbox and click the "Continue" button. This whole process is very confusing at first. Obviously the developers responsible didn't really expect people to say no to security updates!
Accept the typical setup by clicking the "Next" button.
Accept the default JDK selection by clicking the "Next" button.
Accept the default product installation directories by clicking the "Next" button.
If you are happy with the summary information, click the "Next" button and wait while the installation completes.
On the installation complete screen, uncheck the "Quickstart" checkbox and click the "Done" button.

Here we select “Configure for Deployment”. Among other things this also mean the domain is configured to run in Production Mode. This is a WebLogic server thing. Make sure you understand the difference between Production Mode and Development Mode.
In Forms 11g R1 you domain had to be placed in MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains. This has been fixed in R2 so now we can place it away form the software installation, as is best practice.
Check if the ports are being used by any other process
sudo netstat -pnlt | grep 9003
sudo netstat -pnlt | grep 9004
sudo netstat -pnlt | grep 9005
sudo netstat -pnlt | grep 6704
sudo netstat -pnlt | grep 6705
sudo netstat -pnlt | grep 6706
sudo netstat -pnlt | grep 5156
sudo netstat -pnlt | grep 8091
sudo netstat -pnlt | grep 8092
sudo netstat -pnlt | grep 8093
sudo netstat -pnlt | grep 8094
sudo netstat -pnlt | grep 8090
sudo netstat -pnlt | grep 8890
sudo netstat -pnlt | grep 8889
sudo netstat -pnlt | grep 8888
sudo netstat -pnlt | grep 7010
A Forms/Reports installation uses more that 10 different ports. If you want to decide which ports are used you can copy the Disk1/stage/Response/staticports.ini somewhere an edit it. You just need to “add” the ports you want to change to the file.
If you press Save you will be prompted for a place to save a response file you can use for silent installation.
If you press Save Installation Configuration you can save a file that contains this:

To configure the boot.properties file, perform the following steps:
