Verifying the Installation and Configuration

After you complete the installation and configuration of Oracle Forms, verify it was successful by performing a series of tasks.

You can verify the status of your installation by performing the tasks in any combination.

Reviewing the Installation Logs

Check for the presence of installation log files in logs directory inside your Oracle Inventory directory.

On UNIX operating systems, if you do not know the location of your Oracle Inventory directory, you can find it in:

ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc

On Windows operating systems, the location for the inventory directory is:

C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs

For information about installation log files, see Installation Log Files.

Reviewing the Domain Server Logs

You can check the domain server logs located in the servers directory inside the domain home directory.

On UNIX operating systems:

DOMAIN_HOME/servers/server_name

On Windows operating systems:

DOMAIN_HOME\servers\server_name

Checking the Installed Products and Product Versions

Check the installed products and product version numbers. The contents of your installation vary based on the options that you selected during the installation.

To check the products and product version numbers, run this command from the ORACLE_HOME/OPatch directory:

opatch lsinventory -detail

Checking Component URLs

The installed components have unique URLs somewhat based on selections made during domain creation.

Once the product has been installed and a domain created and its servers started, various URLs can be used to access or test these components. Exactly which URLs are relevant depend on which components were chosen during domain configuration. Also, whether or not they are accessible using an SSL/TLS port will depend on selections made during domain creation. Similarly, the ports for each request were also chosen during domain creation.

The Installation Complete screen contains URLs that can be used to access your installed and configured products, as described Table 2-5.

Performing Basic Administration Tasks

After running the installer and configuration tool, all of your system components, the Administration Server, and Managed Servers should be manually started in order to complete the configuration process.

In the event that some of your servers or components are stopped unexpectedly, you can restart your Oracle Fusion Middleware environment by following the instructions, as described in Starting an Oracle Fusion Middleware Environment.

Your Oracle Fusion Middleware environment can also be stopped, as described in Stopping an Oracle Fusion Middleware Environment.
