Symptoms

Attempting to configure WLS_FORMS as a Windows Service, but when starting WLS_FORMS from the Microsoft Management Console, the following error occurs:

The wlsvc <DOMAIN>_WLS_FORMS server on <HOSTNAME> started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.

The managed server script created is like the following:

SETLOCAL
set MW_HOME=C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home
set DOMAIN_NAME=base_domain
set USERDOMAIN_HOME=C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\base_domain
set SERVER_NAME=WLS_FORMS
set JAVA_OPTIONS=-Dweblogic.Stdout="C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\FormsDomain\stdout.txt" -Dweblogic.Stderr="C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\FormsDomain\stderr.txt"
set WL_HOME=C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\wlserver
set PRODUCTION_MODE=true
set MEM_ARGS=-Xms128m -Xmx512m
call "C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\base_domain\bin\setDomainEnv.cmd"
call "C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\wlserver\server\bin\installSvc.cmd"
ENDLOCAL
