For more information about Java Access Bridge, refer to "Install and Configure Java Access Bridge (Windows Only)" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.
If you are installing Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer on a DHCP host, you must follow the configuration steps in this section for your platform.
On Linux x86 operating systems, configure the host to resolve host names to the loopback IP address by modifying the /etc/hosts file to contain the following entries:
127.0.0.1 hostname.domainname hostname 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
After doing so, check that the hostname resolves to the loopback IP address by entering the following command:
/bin/ping hostname.domainname
On Windows operating systems, install a loopback adapter on the DHCP server (see Section 2.4.3, "Installing a Loopback Adapter (Windows Only)"). This assigns a local IP address to your computer.
After installing the adapter, add a line to the %SYSTEMROOT%/system32/drivers/etc/hosts file with the following format, immediately after the localhost line:
IP_address hostname.domainname hostname
Replace IP_address with the local IP address of the loopback adapter.
To install a loopback adapter on Windows 2003 or Windows XP:
Open the Windows Control Panel.
Windows 2003: Select Start > Control Panel > Add Hardware.
Windows XP: Select Start > Control Panel, then double-click Add Hardware.
In the "Add Hardware Wizard" window, click Next.
In the "Is the hardware connected?" window, select Yes, I have already connected the hardware, then click Next.
In the "The following hardware is already installed on your computer" window, in the list of installed hardware, select Add a new hardware device, then click Next.
In the "The wizard can help you install other hardware" window, select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list, then click Next.
In the "From the list of hardware types, select the type of hardware you are installing" window, select Network adapters, then click Next.
In the "Select Network Adapter" window, make the following selections:
Manufacturer: Microsoft
Network Adapter: Microsoft Loopback Adapter
Click Next.
In the "The wizard is ready to install your hardware" window, click Next.
In the "Completing the Add Hardware Wizard" window, click Finish.
If you are using Windows 2003, restart your computer.
Right-click My Network Places on the desktop and choose Properties. This displays the Network Connections Control Panel.
Right-click the connection that was just created. This is usually named "Local Area Connection 2". Choose Properties.
On the "General" tab, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click Properties.
In the "Properties" dialog box, click Use the following IP address and do the following:
IP Address: Enter a non-routable IP for the loopback adapter. Oracle recommends the following non-routable addresses:
192.168.x.x (x is any value between 1 and 255) 10.10.10.10
Subnet mask: Enter 255.255.255.0.
Record the values you entered, which you will need later in this procedure.
Leave all other fields empty.
Click OK.
In the "Local Area Connection 2 Properties" dialog, click OK.
Close Network Connections.
Restart the computer.
To remove a loopback adapter on Windows 2003 or Windows XP:
Start the System Control panel.
Windows 2003: Select Start > Control Panel > System.
Windows XP: Select Start > Control Panel, then double-click System.
In the "Hardware" tab, click Device Manager.
In the "Device Manager" window, expand Network adapters. You should see Microsoft Loopback Adapter.
Right-click Microsoft Loopback Adapter and select Uninstall.
Click OK.
You can install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer on a non-networked computer, such as a laptop. Because a non-networked computer has no access to other computers, you have to install all the components that you need on the computer.
In addition, you must follow the instructions in Section 2.4, "Installing on DHCP Host" to install a loopback adapter and modify the hosts file on your system.
You can install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer on a multihomed computer. A multihomed computer is associated with multiple IP addresses. This is typically achieved by having multiple network cards on the computer. Each IP address is associated with a hostname; additionally, you can set up aliases for each hostname.
The installer picks up the fully qualified domain name from the first entry in /etc/hosts (on UNIX operating systems) or %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (on Windows operating systems) file. So if your file looks like the following:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 10.222.333.444 examplehost1.example.com examplehost1 20.222.333.444 examplehost2.example.com examplehost2
examplehost1.example.com would be picked for configuration.
For specific network configuration of a system component, refer to the individual component's configuration documentation.
The installer will present you with two types of installation:
Install and Configure
Install Software - Do Not Configure
The Install and Configure option will install the product binaries in an Oracle home directory and create and configure a working instance in an Oracle Instance directory. After this is complete, you should be able to begin configuring and managing your products.
The Install Software - Do Not Configure option only installs the software binaries in an Oracle home directory. You must then manually run the configuration tool from your the bin directory inside your Oracle home to configure your products before you can use them. This option can be used to quickly create multiple instances of the software that share a common disk.
For more information about Oracle home and Oracle instance directories, refer to "Oracle Fusion Middleware Directory Structure" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide.
The instructions in this section describe how to install Oracle Forms and Reports on a single host by choosing the Install Software - Do Not Configure installation type.

A warning dialog box will appear. Click Yes to confirm that you want to proceed with the deinstallation and remove the Oracle home directory.
Deinstall Progress Screen
This screen shows the progress and status of the deinstallation.
Click Finish.
Deinstall Complete Screen
Click Finish.
On Windows operating systems, manually remove the Oracle home directory (even if you answer Yes in the warning dialog box).
For example, if your Oracle home directory is C:\Oracle\Middleware\Home1, then you should navigate to the C:\Oracle\Middleware directory, right-click on the Home1 folder, and select Delete.
This procedure should also be repeated to manually remove the Oracle Common home directory on Windows operating systems after you have run the deinstaller to remove the Oracle Common home.
This section describes how to remove the oracle_common directory. This directory contains its own deinstaller in oui/bin (on UNIX operating systems) or oui\bin (on Windows operating systems), just like any other Oracle home directory.
Before you begin, you must:
Stop all processes that use the oracle_common directory.
Remove all Oracle Instances (see Section 8.2.2, "Removing the Oracle Instances").
Remove the Oracle home directory (see Section 8.2.3, "Removing the Oracle Home").
To start the deinstaller, navigate to the MW_HOME/oracle_common/oui/bin (on UNIX operating systems) or MW_HOME\oracle_common\oui\bin (on Windows operating systems) directory and start the deinstaller.
To start the deinstaller on UNIX operating systems:
./runInstaller -deinstall
To start the deinstaller on Windows operating systems:
setup.exe -deinstall
After the deinstaller is started, follow the instructions in Section 8.2.3, "Removing the Oracle Home" to remove the Oracle Common home.
This section describes how to remove Oracle WebLogic Server from your system.
Start the deinstaller from the uninstall directory in your WebLogic home. You specified the location of the WebLogic home directory on the Choose Product Installation Directories Screen in Section 2.2, "Installing Oracle WebLogic Server and Creating the Middleware Home".
On UNIX operating systems:
cd WebLogic_Home/uninstall
./uninstall.sh
On Windows operating systems:
cd WebLogic_Home\uninstall
uninstall.cmd
On Windows operating systems, you can also start the deinstaller from the Start menu by selecting Programs > Oracle WebLogic > Uninstall Oracle WebLogic.
Follow the instructions below to deinstall Oracle WebLogic Server:
Welcome Screen
Click Next.
Choose Components Screen
By default, all components are selected.
Click Next.
Uninstalling WebLogic Platform Screen
Click Done.
After this is finished, you must manually remove the Middleware home directory. For example, if your Middleware home directory was /home/Oracle/Middleware on a UNIX operating system:
> cd /home/Oracle > rm -rf Middleware
On a Windows operating system, if your Middleware home directory was C:\Oracle\Middleware, use a file manager window and navigate to the C:\Oracle directory, then right-click on the Middleware folder and select Delete.
If you have installed Oracle JDeveloper on your system, refer to Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle JDeveloper for instructions on how to remove this software from your system.
On Windows operating systems, you must also manually remove the program groups from the Start Menu\Programs folder. As an example (the folder names and program group names on your system may be different), you might remove the following from C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs:
Oracle Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.4.0
Oracle Forms 11g - Home1
Oracle WebLogic
On Windows operating systems, you should reboot your computer after you have finished removing all your programs to ensure proper cleanup.
