Steps to setup forms in linux

EBS r12 Forms are not opening in linux?

Below issue can be easily resolve in windows just by installing jre but in linux it is not an easier one.

If you get this error in linux :

In order to access this application, you must install the J2SE Plugin version 1.6.0_07 on your client and NPX_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is set before starting Netscape. To install this plugin, click here to download the oaj2se.exe executable. Once the download is complete, double-click the oaj2se.exe file to install the plugin. You will be prompted to restart your browser when the installation is complete.

First do the below :

But the above one dint work out for me. My mozilla and oel were 64-bit so i did the below :

When you done with the plugin installation, issue about:plugins and check whether your installed jre plugin is showing in mozilla. if it does you can access the forms.


To know the recommended jre plugin version issue the below :

[oracle@dev186 scripts]$ grep plugin $CONTEXT_FILE
         <!-- JDK plugins -->
         <sun_plugin_ver oa_var="s_sun_plugin_ver">1.6.0_07</sun_plugin_ver>
         <sun_plugin_type oa_var="s_sun_plugin_type">jdk</sun_plugin_type>

Download and install the below : (Make sure you os bit version when you download)

install ---> jre-6u33-linux-x64.bin

Since my os were 64 bit we must create soft link to /usr/lib64 folder instead of /usr/lib
go to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins

Create softlink as below :
ln -s /oracle/jre1.6.0_33/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so  .

libnpjp2.so -> /oracle/jre1.6.0_33/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so

Once you are done, make sure you see your installed plugin in mozilla. to check issue about:plugins in mozilla URL.

If you see it you should be able to access forms now.

Enjoy EBS :)
