This always resulted in restarting the OHS server in opmnctl. There is a bug in Forms 11gR2 that causes this due to an automatically applied patch &#8220;12632886&#8221;. To fix the problem, you will need to:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Download the correct OPatch 12632886 from My Oracle Support. While it says 11.1.1.4, it&#8217;s okay to apply this to 11.1.2.<\/li>\n<li>Shut down opmnctl (Run &#8220;opmnctl stopall&#8221; in %ORACLE_INSTANCE%\\bin)<\/li>\n<li>Create a directory for the downloaded patch called PATCH_TOP. Extract the patch. Inside PATCH_TOP, there will be a folder called 12632886.<\/li>\n<li>Open up Command Prompt and navigate to PATCH_TOP\\12632886.<\/li>\n<li>Set ORACLE_HOME in Command Prompt:\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;set ORACLE_HOME=%MW_HOME%\\as_1&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Append the following to PATH in Command Prompt:\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;set PATH=%PATH%;%MW_HOME%\\oracle_common\\OPatch&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Run OPatch to deinstall the improper patch:\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;opatch rollback -id 12632886&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Install the new patch 12632886 which you downloaded earlier:\n<ul>\n<li>cd ..<\/li>\n<li>opatch apply 12632886<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Go back to %ORACLE_INSTANCE%\\bin and run &#8220;opmnctl startall&#8221;. After applying this, the bug should be fixed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We have seen this occur in the following operating systems (64-bit only):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>AIX 6.1.0.0<\/li>\n<li>Windows 7 Professional 64-bit<\/li>\n<li>Windows Server 2008 Standard 64-bit<\/li>\n<li>Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit<\/li>\n<li>Windows Web Server 2008 R2 64-bit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Alternatively, you may also consider upgrading to Oracle Forms version 12c as it contains the latest security and bug fixes.
