FRM-92101 : There was failure in the forms server during startup. This could happen due to invalid configuration. Please look into we server log files

Hello Everyone,

Today we were getting the error below while starting forms.

Error :

FRM-92101 : There was failure in the forms server during startup. This could happen due to invalid configuration. Please look into we server log files

I logged into the server and sourced the env file but getting the below error.

bash-3.2$ . EBSapps.env
grep: illegal option -- :
grep: illegal option -- C
grep: illegal option -- O
grep: illegal option -- N
grep: illegal option -- T
grep: illegal option -- E
grep: illegal option -- X
grep: illegal option -- T
grep: illegal option -- F
grep: illegal option -- I
grep: illegal option -- L
grep: illegal option -- E
Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . .

I was able to login to the weblogic admin console but all the managed servers were running fine including forms server.

I had no clue about this issue.

I tried to sounce the env file from $APPL_TOP and it was throwing me the error saying the hostname is correct.

Finally i found the issue is due to hostname was not properly set. I was trying to find the ip address by issuing the command hostname -i, unfortunately this command wont work in solaris and whatever valued followed by given in this command will be updated as hostname in solaris.


bash-3.2# hostname -i
bash-3.2# hostname
-i

I updated the right hostname by the below command as root user :

# hostname xxxxtest

Error disappeared after that and i was able to source env file without any issue.
