Install and configure the Form Builder Standalone environment.

1. Start the Installer as described in Starting the Oracle Forms Installer.
2. When prompted, install into a new and empty Oracle home.

   Note:

   Do not attempt to install it on top of Fusion Middleware Infrastructure.
3. From the Installation Type screen, select Standalone Form Builder.
   It should be selected by default if you properly chose an empty Oracle Home directory.
4. From the last screen of the installation wizard, select Automatically Launch Forms Builder Configuration Wizard to launch the configuration wizard when the installation is complete.

   You can also launch the Configuration Assistant manually from a command prompt.

   Note:

   On Unix/Linux, ensure the shell user is the same as the installation owner. On MS Windows, ensure that the shell user has elevated privileges.

   On Unix, type in this command:

   $ORACLE_HOME/forms/common/bin/config_builder.sh

   Note:

   Use config_builder.cmd on Microsoft Windows machines.

   You can also specify the following arguments to perform a scripted or silent instance configuration:

   • autoconfig: Use this to configure a new instance automatically. The new instance will be named formsN where N is a sequential number starting with 1. Each time the command is run against this Oracle home, N increments by 1. The new instance is automatically created in the Oracle home.
   • formBuilderInstance: Use this argument in conjunction the autoconfig argument to specify the path of the instance location. Specifying this parameter overrides the auto-naming behavior of the autoconfig argument. The path should be a value that does not include directories with spaces.

   Here is an example of the command usage:

   config_builder.cmd autoconfig formBuilderInstance=C:\myFormBuilder\inst1

   If you do not specify any of these, the Configuration Wizard opens.

5. When prompted, enter a path and name for the Form Builder Instance path in the Instance Configuration screen, then click Next.

   For example:

   C:\Oracle\Middleware\bld_inst1

   After configuration is complete, the Configuration Progress screen shows a "Configuration Succeeded" message.
6. Click Next to proceed to the End of Configuration screen.

   This screen shows the Oracle Home and Form Builder Instance location.

7. Click Finish to exit the installer.
