33. Some Tips to start the servers from Linux:To find any file name use the below
commandfind . -name *.DATfind . -name *.lokTo remove any file execute the below
commandrm -rf <File name with path>start Admin Server****************cd
/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain/bin./
startWebLogic.shstart nodeManager******************cd

34. ./ startNodeManager.shstart reports engine******************cd

/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/asinst_1/bin./opmnctl startallTo find out the status./opmnctl

then we need start from Web logic Administrator

37. If we are facing any issue while opening form builder in Linux, just executethe
below command as root user]# xhost + To open the form builder in Linux execute below
command from the path/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/asinst_1/bin./frmbld.sh Move the
attached form HR.fmb to the path /home/oracle/Oracle/data/myforms Compile the form
HR.fmb by opening it in form builder and it will generate HR.fmx in the samedirectory.
Open the deployed form in web browser by using the link below and you will get error as
FRM-40010: Cannot read form HR.http://bias17.bias.com:8888/forms/frmservlet?
config=hr8&form=HR

38. If we get this error, then we need to log in into web logic em and need to give
theFORMS_PATH for environment configuration as /home/oracle/Oracle/data/myforms
After the path provided then click on "Apply" button then will get confirmation messageas
"Changes have been applied"

39. Try again by opening the link in web browser you will get the below
screenhttp://bias17.bias.com:8888/forms/frmservlet?
config=hr8&form=HRUsername:hr8password:hr8Database:DEV Enter the credentials for
the database then the form will open

40. If you do not want to enter the data base credentials at runtime, you need to
configurethem in web logic server em under web configuration.userid= hr8/hr8@DEV

41. Click on "Apply" button you will get the confirmation "Applying Changes CompletedSuccessfully" and then click on Close. Try again by opening the link in web
browser you will get the below screen and this timeit will not ask for database
credentialshttp://bias17.bias.com:8888/forms/frmservlet?config=hr8&form=HR

42. Starting the In-process Server (Windows and UNIX) for Reports:If you are using
Reports Server as an in-process server (the default configuration),sending a run report
request starts the in-process server; however, if you are sending arequest through a
command line, the servlet must be invoked first using either the runreport URL or the Web
command URL. When you have successfully started the servlet,this also means you have
successfully started the in-process server.To directly start the in-process server from a URL,

enter the following from your

Webbrowser:http://bias17.bais.com:8888/reports/rwservlet/startserver
