There has been an issue where the Forms application can hang or freeze when navigating between a set of radio buttons. This has been seen with Forms 11.1.1.6.0.
An Oracle patch 13652243 is available to download at My Oracle Support which can be applied to fix the problem. To apply the patch, you will need to do the following:
- Download Patch 13652243 from Oracle Support. Be sure to specify the version of Forms you are using whether it is 11.1.1.6 or 11.1.2.0.
- Extract the patch into the PC/server.
- Shut down all WebLogic servers and OPMN processes in the Oracle home for Forms.
- Open up Command Prompt as an administrator:
- Navigate to the location where you extracted the patch and go into the 13652243 folder.
- Run the following commands in Command Prompt:
- set ORACLE_HOME=Path_to_Oracle_home (Example: set ORACLE_HOME=C:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1)
- set PATH=%PATH%;%MIDDLEWARE_HOME%\oracle_common\OPatch
- Double-check your opatch version by running: opatch version (It should be at or greater than the required version specified in the readme file)
- opatch apply
- When applying the patch, answer with ‘y’ when it asks if the system is ready for patching.
- When the patch is applied, start up OPMN and your WebLogic servers.
After the environment is back up, you should no longer experience hanging or freezing when navigating between radio buttons.
NOTE: Please review the README file which comes with the patch before applying any Oracle patch.
