Symptoms

While running config.cmd command to configure Forms and Reports 12.2.1.3 on Windows, it just returns back to the prompt without any errors and GUI screen is not displayed.

Following are the steps followed:

1. Install JDK 1.8.0_172

2. Install infrastructure using fmw_12.2.1.3.0_infrastructure.jar

3. Install forms/reports using setup_fmw_12.2.1.3.0_fr_win64.exe

4. Run rcu to load required schemas

5. Run config.cmd from Oracle_Home\oracle_common\common\bin

prompt comes back quickly with no errors. 

To debug added echo commands to display JAVA Home to config.cmd as below:

From:

SET JVM_ARGS=-Dpython.cachedir="%TEMP%\cachedir" %UTILS_MEM_ARGS% %SECURITY_JVM_ARGS% %CONFIG_JVM_ARGS%

SET ARGUMENTS=%* ÊM_ARGUMENTS%

IF EXIST %JAVA_HOME% (

IF "%ARGUMENTS%" == "" (

%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javaw %JVM_ARGS% com.oracle.cie.wizard.WizardController

) ELSE (

%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java %JVM_ARGS% com.oracle.cie.wizard.WizardController %ARGUMENTS%

)

) ELSE (

CALL :SET_RC 1

)

Change To:

SET JVM_ARGS=-Dpython.cachedir="%TEMP%\cachedir" %UTILS_MEM_ARGS% %SECURITY_JVM_ARGS% %CONFIG_JVM_ARGS%

SET ARGUMENTS=%* ÊM_ARGUMENTS%

echo "java home " %JAVA_HOME%               ==============>New line

IF EXIST %JAVA_HOME% (

IF "%ARGUMENTS%" == "" (

%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javaw %JVM_ARGS% com.oracle.cie.wizard.WizardController

) ELSE (

%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java %JVM_ARGS% com.oracle.cie.wizard.WizardController %ARGUMENTS%

)

) ELSE (

echo "could not find java home"             ==============>New line

CALL :SET_RC 1

)

After this while running config.cmd it failed with the error:
