FORM Compilation Steps in Oracle APPS

To compile a form in oracle apps, Please follow the below steps

• Set environment file on apps tier R12_BASE/ apps/ apps_st/ appl/

                                        APPS<sid>_<hostname>.env

• Ensure that the $FORMS_PATH includes $AU_TOP/resource and $AU_TOP/resource/stub, for example              

                                        echo $FORMS_PATH

                                    /u01/oracle/DEV/apps/apps_st/appl/au/12.0.0/resource:

                                   /u01/oracle/DEV/apps/apps_st/appl/au/12.0.0/resource/stub

• export FORMS_PATH and add AU_TOP/forms/US in FORMS_PATH like

                        export FORMS_PATH=$FORMS_PATH:$AU_TOP/forms/US

• Change to form compilation executable directory (10.1.2 Oracle Home in R12)

                                        cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin

Compile the form

If you are using forms customizations (CUSTOM.pll) then run the command below to compile the form.

 frmcmp_batch.sh module=<path to fmb file> userid=APPS/<PWD> output_file=<full path to fmx output file> module_type=form compile_all=special

For eg:-

frmcmp_batch.sh module=/u01/oracle/TEST/apps/apps_st/appl/au/12.0.0/forms/US/XXX.fmb userid=APPS/APPS output_file=/u01/oracle/TEST/apps/apps_st/appl/inv/12.0.0/forms/US/XXX.fmx module_type=form compile_all=special                 

If you are NOT using forms customizations, then run the command below to compile the form.

 frmcmp_batch.sh module=<path to fmb file> userid=APPS/<PWD> output_file=<full path to fmx output file> module_type=form

For eg:-

frmcmp_batch.sh module=/u01/oracle/TEST/apps/apps_st/appl/au/12.0.0/forms/US/XXX.fmb userid=APPS/APPS  output_file=/u01/oracle/TEST/apps/apps_st/appl/inv/

12.0.0/forms/US/XXX.fmx module_type=form
