Forms and Reports provisioning

In Chapter 5,Managing Oracle Application Server, we learnt about the provisioning of Oracle Application Server. The Grid Control deployment procedures help you to clone a test environment to production or vice versa. This greatly automates a lot of manual and error prone tasks. Grid Control provides Forms and Reports Provisioning Deployment Procedure that supports cloning and configuration of Oracle Application Server Forms and Reports Services installations.

Note that Forms and Reports Services install type allows you to install and configure Forms and Reports Services without having to install and configure all of Oracle Application Server 10g. If you use Oracle Application Server Forms and Reports Services installed as a part of Oracle Infrastructure, then you cannot use this deployment procedure. Grid Control supports cloning of Oracle Forms and Reports Services either from a reference install or from a gold image.
