Look into log file application.log in folder $LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/forms/forms_default_group_1, see luckily a message:
runtime process failed during startup with errors $ORACLE_HOME/bin/frmweb: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The problem was caused by missing Linux package openmotif21 when the new server was configured. EBS forms function works after install the right openmotif rpm and bounce EBS services.
$ rpm -qa | grep openmotif
openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL6.i686
UPDATES in 2024:
The same problem can happen to R12.2 if openmofit does not exist on the server or it was removed by a Linux patching (e.g. lesstif-0.95.2-8.el7.x86_64 may replace it).
The error message in R12.2 is at $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/forms_server#/logs
(# could be 1, 2, etc)
The fix is to make sure BOTH openmotif and the link exist on the server
$ rpm -qa | grep openmotif
openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL6.i686
$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 May 19 2020 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2 -> libXm.so.2.1
