After EBS R12 was copied/moved to a new server due to Linux OS upgrade, autoconfig worked and all EBS services started without any issue. But after successful login, EBS R12 forms failed to open during startup. The error is
FRM-92101 : There was a failure in the Forms Server during startup.
This could happen due to invalid configuration. Please look into the web-server log file for details.

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
