FRM-92101 there was a failure in form Server startup

There was on error in accessing ERP Forms though all per-requisites exists on the system.

I've encountered this issue on freshly configured system.

In earlier post I've discussed about this issue:

This issue will solved only if yo will Install same version of openmotif as mentioned in Installation document. If you have higher version of rpm then its simply not going to workout.

Required version of openmotif rpm - openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i386.rpm


Actual version exists on system - openmotif22-2.2.3-18.EL5.i386.rpm


If you do not want to Install the old version of rpm and want to access the forms using the same rpm "openmotif22-2.2.3-18.EL5.i386.rpm" then this is the post/article which you're looking for :

Its looking for the library file "libXm.so.2" in /usr/lib which does not exists on the server.

The rpm openmotif22-2.2.3-18.EL5.i386.rpm will deliver the higher version of library file then expected:

[root@erpappl2 lib]# ls -l libXm.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      14 Mar 24 14:22 libXm.so -> libXm.so.4.0.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      14 Mar 24 14:22 libXm.so.3 -> libXm.so.3.0.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2542828 Jun  6  2007 libXm.so.3.0.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      14 Mar 24 14:22 libXm.so.4 -> libXm.so.4.0.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2637260 Nov  3  2010 libXm.so.4.0.1

If we Install rpm openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i386.rpm then it will generate library libXm.so.2.


Solution:

copy library file 

[root@erpappl2 root]#cd /usr/lib

[root@erpappl2 lib]#cp libXm.so.3.0.2 libXm.so.2.0.2

create link

[root@erpappl2 lib]#ln -s libXm.so.2.0.2 libXm.so.2

After modification restart your middle tiers your forms access should work as expected with no more error messages.

Happy troubleshooting :)
