Purpose

 Steps to upgrade Forms using OUT OF PLACE option

Scope

Out-of-place upgrades are used when you want to install Oracle Forms in a new directory.

For this option, install the software as for a fresh install, then use the WLS Reconfiguration Wizard and Upgrade Assistant to complete the upgrade.

If your current version is earlier than 12.2.1.3.0, you need to first upgrade to 12.2.1.4.0 before proceeding.

Refer to version 12.2.1.4.0 of Installing Oracle Forms for information on how to upgrade to that version.

https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/developer-tools/forms/12.2.1.4/install-fnr/index.html

When you believe you have a working 12.2.1.4.0 environment, follow the step to continue.

To perform an "out-of-place" upgrade, you'll install the software as for a fresh install, then use the WLS Reconfiguration Wizard and Upgrade Assistant to complete the upgrade.

In an out-of-place upgrade, you install the 12.2.1.19.0 software in a new Oracle Home directory rather than the one used by the 12.2.1.4.0 or 12.2.1.3.0 install.

The main steps are :

• Install the Software in a New Oracle Home
• Reconfiguring the Domain using the WLS Reconfiguration Wizard
• Running the Upgrade Assistant to Upgrade the Components Configuration
• Starting Oracle Forms After an Upgrade
