Nice tutorial. I'm from Colombia. I have a question. Can we install Weblogic with Forms and Reports in same server with Oracle Database 12c installed? I see the ORACLE_HOME environment, but it happens the ORACLE_HOME environment on Weblogic or Database on same server. Or two servers?
Yes, you can install Oracle Weblogic and Oracle database on same server. But it is not recommended.
