Table 2-2 Oracle Forms Installer Screens

Screen Description
Welcome Introduces you to the installer
Auto Updates Allows you to choose to receive automatic software updates from Oracle Corporation for your components. Make the desired selection.
Installation Location

For full installations, select the Oracle Home created by the Fusion Middleware Infrastructure installation.

If you are installing the Standalone Form Builder option, choose a new/empty Oracle Home path.

Installation Type

The default value is correct in most cases. Selecting Forms and Reports Deployment is the only option if installing into a Fusion Middleware Infrastructure Oracle Home.

If installing into an empty Oracle Home, Standalone Form Builder is the only possible option.

JDK Selection Choose the desired JDK for the installation. If you have an appropriate JDK installed on the machine it appears in the list. The JDK found in the Oracle Home is also listed.
Prerequisite Checks

A set of system prerequisite checks is performed before performing the installation. However, it is very important to ensure your system complies with the requirements provided by the Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications guide for this version.

Note:

This prerequisite check will not test for all requirements. If this check fails, it may be necessary to exit the installer, fix the failures, then rerun the installer.
Installation Summary

Review the installation summary, then click Install.

Note:

If you plan to perform a silent installation in the future using the same selections made here, click Save Response File and save the file for later use.
