System Requirements and Specifications for Oracle Forms and Reports
11g Release 2 (11.1.2)
E25460-01
This document contains system and platform-specific information for Oracle Fusion Middleware Forms and Reports 11g Release 2 (11.1.2) and later.
The following topics are covered in this document:
Section 1, "Using This Document with the Certification Matrix and Product Installation Guide"
Section 2, "Oracle Fusion Middleware Memory and Space Requirements"
Section 7, "System Requirements for Windows Operating Systems"
This document is intended for use in conjunction with the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Forms and Reports and the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 2 Certifications.
The following certification documents should be used to determine the proper combination of systems, database, clients, Identity and Access Management, and IP version that should be used for your product installation:
Oracle has tested and verified the performance of your product on all certified systems and environments; whenever new certifications occur, they are added to the proper certification document right away. New certifications can occur at any time, and for this reason the certification documents are kept outside of the documentation libraries and are available on Oracle Technology Network.
The Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications for Oracle Forms and Reports (this document) should be used to verify that the requirements of the certification are met. For example, if the certification document indicates that your product is certified for installation on 32-Bit Oracle Linux 5, this document should be used to verify that your Oracle Linux 5 system has met the required minimum specifications, like disk space, available memory, specific platform packages and patches, and other operating system-specific items. This document is updated as needed and therefore also resides outside of the documentation libraries and is available on Oracle Technology Network.
After you have verified that your environment meets the requirements specified in both the certification documents and system requirements, you are ready to begin your installation.
Your product installation guides contain the step-by-step instructions to get your product physically installed and configured on your system. These guides are available only from the documentation library (http://docs.oracle.com/) and therefore are not updated unless there is a subsequent product release. Both the certification and system requirement documents can be updated multiple times in between product releases, depending on whether or not new information is available.
This section contains the minimum memory and disk space requirements for Oracle Fusion Middleware products. The following topics are covered:
Section 2.2, "Oracle Forms and Reports Memory and Disk Space Requirements"
Section 2.3, "Oracle Identity Management Memory and Disk Space Requirements"
Unless otherwise noted, Table 1 lists the general minimum memory requirements for Oracle Fusion Middleware products. For the purposes of this document, "minimum available memory" is defined as the amount of physical memory (RAM) and swap memory combined.
This section describes the recommended hardware and system configuration requirements for Oracle Forms and Reports.
Note:
On some Windows 32-bit operating systems, the available memory is limited to 3GB. For components that are certified on such systems, Oracle recommends using the /3GB switch, as specified in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article #291988.
For more information, see the certification information, as described in Section 1, "Using This Document with the Certification Matrix and Product Installation Guide".
Section 2.2.1, "Memory and Disk Space Requirements for Installing Oracle Forms and Reports"
Section 2.2.2, "Memory and Disk Space Requirements for Configuring Oracle Forms and Reports"
Table 2 lists the memory and disk space requirements for installing Oracle Forms and Reports.

Oracle Forms and Reports can be protected by Oracle Identity Management as described in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Forms and Reports.
The memory and disk space requirements for Oracle Identity Management 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) can be found in Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications for 11g Release 1 (11.1.1). This document can be found on the following page:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-requirements-100147.html
Oracle Forms and Reports 11g Release 2 (11.1.2) is released and tested with Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.5) and 11gR1 (10.3.6). Oracle WebLogic Server can be obtained from the following URL:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic/downloads/
Oracle WebLogic Server is a prerequisite for installing Oracle Forms and Reports; doing so creates the Middleware home directory where all 11g Release 2 (11.1.2) products must be installed. For instructions, refer to the Oracle WebLogic Server Installation Guide in the 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) documentation library.
Installing Oracle WebLogic Server also installs a JDK on your system. If you are using a 64-bit JVM in your environment, ensure that all your Oracle Fusion Middleware components are using the 64-bit JVM. Also make sure that Oracle WebLogic Server is installed with the 64-bit JDK. You cannot mix components using a 32-bit JVM with those using a 64-bit JVM.
Refer to the certification documents for information on the platforms that support a 64-bit JDK. Links to the certification documents can be found in Section 1, "Using This Document with the Certification Matrix and Product Installation Guide".
This section contains prerequisite information for the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI). The requirements in this section must be met in order for the installer to start:
The environment variables on your system must be set as described in Table 4:
Table 4 Oracle Universal Installer Environment Variable Requirements
| Variable | Description |

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:
Change the value of SHMMAX to 4294967295 by including the following line in /etc/sysctl.conf:
kernel.shmmax = 4294967295
Activate the new SHMMAX setting by running the command:
/sbin/sysctl -p
Start the Oracle Universal Installer and install your software.
Typically, the computer on which you want to install Oracle Fusion Middleware is connected to the network. The computer has local storage to store the Oracle Fusion Middleware installation and also contains a display monitor and DVD drive.
If your environment is not a typical scenario, you should read the "Oracle Fusion Middleware Network Requirements" section in the 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) System Requirements and Specification document:
http://docs.oracle.com/html/E18558_01/fusion_requirements.htm
This section contains system requirement information for UNIX operating systems.
In some cases, a particular platform may be de-supported for use with Oracle Fusion Middleware products. While this particular platform's requirements may remain in this document for legacy purposes, it would no longer be listed in the certification document and would no longer be considered a "certified" platform.
Links to the certification document can be found in Section 1, "Using This Document with the Certification Matrix and Product Installation Guide".
All packages listed are minimum versions.
The following topics are covered in this section:
Section 6.2, "Supported Linux Operating System Versions, Packages, and Patches"
Section 6.3, "Supported Solaris Operating System Versions, Packages, and Patches"
Section 6.4, "Supported HP-UX Operating System Versions, Packages, and Patches"
Section 6.5, "Supported IBM AIX Operating System Versions, Packages, and Patches"
This section contains the following topics:
The Open File Limit on all UNIX and Linux operating systems should also be checked. The minimum Open File Limit should be 4096.
The following examples are for Linux operating systems. Equivalent commands should be followed for other UNIX operating systems.
You can see how many files are open with the following command:
/usr/sbin/lsof | wc -l
To check your open file limits, use the commands below.
For C-shell:
limit descriptors
For Bash:
ulimit -n
To change the open file limits, login as root and edit the /etc/security/limits.conf file. Look for the following two lines:
* soft nofile 2048 * hard nofile 2048
Change the values from 2048 to 4096, then reboot the machine.
On UNIX operating systems, the installation of Fusion Middleware products is owned and controlled as a known user (for example, "oracle"). The file permissions associated with this installation are configured to ensure the highest level of security possible, which by default are 700 (meaning all files are owned and accessible by the owner only).
Changing the default permissions settings will reduce the security of the installation and possibly your system. Therefore, making such a change is not recommended. If access to particular files or executables is required by other users, the UNIX sudo command (or other similar command) should be considered in lieu of changing file permissions.
Refer to your UNIX operating system Administrator's Guide or contact your operating system vendor if you need further assistance.
Table 6 lists the platform, operating system, package, and patch information for Linux operating systems that are either currently supported or were supported in a previous release.
In addition, you should also review the following Linux-specific issues to see if they are applicable to your environment:
Section 6.2.1, "Obtaining the Font RPM Package for Forms and Reports on Oracle Linux 6"
Section 6.2.3, "Installing Oracle HTTP Server on Linux Operating Systems Requires NPTL"

Set the NLS_LANG variable appropriately for your system. For example:
set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P15
The openmotif22 package is not included by default on SUSE 10 and SUSE 11 operating systems. If you need to obtain this package, you must go to the Novell website to obtain the package and then perform the installation using the instructions provided by Novell.
If you are installing Oracle HTTP Server on a Linux operating system, the operating system needs to set Native POSIX Threads Library (NPTL) as the default threads-implementation. To check for this, run the following command:
getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
The expected results should be "NPTL 2.3.4". Failing to have NPTL can result in unexpected behavior for the Oracle HTTP Server, especially if the Multi-Processing Module (MPM) is the Worker MPM.
Table 7 lists the platform, operating system, package, and patch information for Solaris operating systems that are either currently supported or were supported in a previous release.
In addition, you should also review the following Solaris-specific issues to see if they are applicable to your environment:

For Oracle Forms and Reports, the following packages must also be installed on Solaris 11 systems:
system/font/daewoo-misc system/font/gnome-fonts system/font/isas-misc system/font/jis-misc system/font/misc-ethiopic system/font/misc-meltho system/font/sun-ja-bitmap system/font/sun-ja-bitmap-unicode system/font/truetype/arphic-ukai system/font/truetype/bh-luxi system/font/truetype/bitstream-vera system/font/truetype/fonts-core system/font/truetype/gentium system/font/truetype/google-droid system/font/truetype/hanyang-ko system/font/truetype/ipafont-mincho system/font/truetype/sil system/font/truetype/unfonts-ko-core system/font/truetype/unfonts-ko-extra system/font/truetype/unifont system/font/truetype/wqy-zenhei system/font/xorg/cyrillic system/font/xorg/iso8859-10 system/font/xorg/iso8859-11 system/font/xorg/iso8859-13 system/font/xorg/iso8859-14 system/font/xorg/iso8859-15 system/font/xorg/iso8859-16 system/font/xorg/iso8859-2 system/font/xorg/iso8859-3 system/font/xorg/iso8859-4 system/font/xorg/iso8859-5 system/font/xorg/iso8859-7 system/font/xorg/iso8859-8 system/font/xorg/iso8859-9
After these packages are installed, you must also set the following environment variables:
On Solaris x86-64 operating systems, set the NLS_LANG environment variable to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P15, or set the DISPLAY variable to any 64-Bit Linux machine.
On Solaris SPARC64 operating systems:
Set LC_ALL=C.
Set the NLS_LANG environment variable to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P15, or set the DISPLAY variable to any 64-Bit Linux machine.
If you are installing Oracle Identity Management on a Solaris x86-64 platform, you must patch all software versions to the most recent version before you configure a domain. Below is a recommended installation procedure; refer to the product documentation (Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Identity Management) for more details.
Install the most recent version of Oracle WebLogic Server.
If necessary, run Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to create the database schemas.
Perform a software-only installation (do not configure a domain) of the Release 11.1.1.2.0 software.
Patch the software to the latest version with the Patch Set Installer.
Run the configuration tool to configure a domain.
On Solaris operating systems, the prerequisite patches that are applied in the global zone can be considered applied in the non-global zones. There is only one kernel running on the system, and all zones must be at the same patch level with respect to the kernel and other Solaris system components. Kernel patches can only be applied from the global zone, and they affect the global and all non-global zones equally.
To check if a kernel patch is applied in the global zone, use the following command:
showrev -p | grep patch_number
For example, to check if patch 137111-04 is applied:
showrev -p | grep 137111
Table 8 lists the platform, operating system, package, and patch information for HP-UX operating systems that are either currently supported or were supported in a previous release.

Note:
The B3394BA package is obsoleted in HP-UX Itanium 11i v3 machines. This is causing an error message to be seen during prerequisite checking.
This error message can be safely ignored provided that the open Motif package can be confirmed as installed on the machine using the following command:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l fileset | grep -i motif

If you encounter issues related to anti-virus software during your Fusion Middleware product installation, disable your anti-virus software for the entire duration of the installation. If the system is restarted before the installation is complete, ensure the anti-virus software was not restarted before continuing with the installation.
Anti-virus software can be re-enabled when the installation is complete.
On Microsoft Windows operating systems, you must enable User Account Control (UAC) so that the correct permissions are applied to the cwallet.sso file.
To enable UAC:
Run secpol.msc from the command prompt.
Select Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options.
Set the User Account Control:Run all Administrator in Admin Approval Mode option to enabled.
Restart the host.
Restart the servers.
In order to install Oracle Forms and Reports or use the Oracle Forms and Reports Builders after installation, the operating system user must have Windows "Administrator" privileges.
Although the current user may have Windows "Administrator" privileges, if they are not the installation owner, the Windows UAC settings may need to be relaxed.
