As we have just sucessfully migrated for Forms 12.2.1.19.0 we are now proactively looking at upgrading to Forms 14.1.2.0 with the most recent update kit.
What is the best practice to do the this particular upgrade? Upgrade the existing server similar to going from Forms 12.2.1.4.0 → 12.2.19.0 or setup a new server, install and setup, then copy any configuration files that are still applicable from older server. My main questions would be around patches applied to 12.2.1.19.0 that may still be applicable from 14 if any? In particular since Reports is still a requirement for us, there were a number of patches applied to reports after intital install and even some quaterly updates. Are these patches bundled with install kits provided with 14c or they will still need to be applied.
Sorry, I have also noticed that Forms 14 can be used with Java JDK 17.0.15 or JDK 21.0.7. What is the preferred version for the JDK, and what is min required JRE for clients.
