Differences in Oracle forms deplyment using OAS vs Developer Suite 10g

"Is the configuration for OAS same as Dev Suite in term of forms and reports deployment ?" - yes, it is.
You have to install Forms Server and Report Server - I would recommend to use dafault options.

I hope this will be a little help for you. Maybe someone else can provide a more complex solution.

If that's so, I will check this one first to confirm.
thanks.

Good luck, but be careful about default.env file, too. This file is very important for runtime.

Henka,
I already installed the software
Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.2.0
J2EE and Web Cache option

BUT I couldn't find Default.env and formsweb.cfg files anywhere in the directory except the one in devsuite10g. Normally I can find it at E:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\server (DevSuite10g).

After the installaton, I found few new programs :
1. Oracle - oracleas
2. Oracle ASEnterprise Manager
    a. AS Control console
    b. Start AS
    c. Stop AS
   
3. Oracle Application Server
   a. Configuration & Migration tools
   b. Start orcl_form as localhost
   c. Stop orcl_form as localhost

Do I miss anything ? I found it'stotally different from Devsuite10g. Is 2b Start AS is similar to starting OC4j ?

I think that you haven't missed anything.
2. - It is for starting and stopping AS; sometimes it is necessary to stop AS.
3. - It is for AS configuration.   3a. - Here you set default.env and formsweb.cfg.

I don't remember the whole installation process exactly. Maybe I have not understood your question.

Here is a documentation (the registration is free), I hope it will help you:

Sorry I couldn't get anything apart from confusion. I'd checked the documentation but won't helpme. It does mention few things on deployment and configuration but when I compare with I have, It seems that is not what I installed. Also got confused of different level of Middle-Tier Topologies that I found in the documentation. Which one should I choose for forms and reports deployment ?

thanks.

You need Forms Services and Reports Services.
