Compiling Forms on a Unix Server

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to compile forms on a Unix server from the command line? Right now we are using Reflection X and form builder on the Unix server to compile.
Is there any alternatives to Reflection X?
Any help would be appreciated.

In a normal vt100 telnet session, i use
f60gen $formname $usern module_type=$moduletype Compile_All=YES
cheers

  • Compile Forms on a Unix Machine (check for errors in any of the files)

    Hello there,
    Our organization is wrapping up the development phase and beginning our testing phase. I am responsible for the Configuration Management of our forms, menus, libraries, and reports.
    We develop our code in a Windows environment (including compilation check), then we FTP the source files to a unix environment, then we compile the forms on a unix environment. We have this process down pretty well (for a couple of files at a time).
    Now we would like to automate our "build" procedure. This process involves the following tasks.
    1.) Extract all the source files from our vault software (PVCS)
    2.) FTP all the source files to the UNIX environment
    3.) Compile all the source files on the UNIX environment
    4.) Test the Software on the UNIX application server
    We have all of the above working (if no compilation errors occur). I am not sure how to check if any of the files errored during compilation. How can I check to see if any errors occurred during the UNIX source code compilation? I know how to do this manually (look at the output and see if the module compiled), but we are compiling approximately 200 files during our release build process. Maybe some sort of send the compilation results to an output file then search for any files that contain "not generated" (I assume if an error is generated, the text will be displayed to the user).
    Is there an easy way to check if any of the forms, menus, libraries, or reports errored during the "automatic" compilation process?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    I use this script to generate .fmx files from a zipped .fmb file. This approach allows for much faster FTP because our developers are not co-located with our servers.
    In addition, the tail command echoes the final line of the .err as either...
    Created form file <filename.fmx>
    for success or
    Compilation errors have occurred.
    for failure.

  • Displaying PDF file in forms running on UNIX server

    I want to display a PDF document in the form.
    I have explored the following two options:-
    1) Using Image item - PDF format is not supported by forms
    2) OLE - Is supported only on WIN and MAC
    Does any body know of any reusable java bean that can be used to display PDF file inside the form?
    Thanks

    Java Beans only work on the Web. If you are on teh Web then an option would be to reference to the pdf document by using web.show_document() built-in

  • Problems compiling form in Unix

    I am trying to do the following

    I think an environment setting is wrong but I am not sure.
    I do have write permissions in Unix

    Shouldn't an 11.5.10 install have the ablitlity to compile with a later version of forms than that?I wonder if there is an env setting I need to change >
    You need to consult your System Administrator (SA)! Typically the EBS Technology stack is locked into specific component versions, to include Forms. I honestly do not know if EBS 11.5.10 can be configured to use a version of Forms newer than Forms 6i. I do know that EBS R12 uses Forms 10g. It has been a while since I've worked with the EBS so you might want to ask your quesiton in the General EBS Discussion forum as this Forum is dedicated specifically to non-EBS Forms.
    However, it stands to reason that if your Application Server is configured with Forms 6i that you should use the same version of Forms on your development workstations. Newer versions of Oracle Forms are not backward compatible with older versions of Forms - meaning, you can't edit in Forms 10g and expect Forms 6i to be able to compile the file.

    Here is a script I have used to generate (under unix) all the forms in a folder.   It uses f90genm, but you can modify the script to call whatever compile command you need.

  • Compile .fmb file in UNIX with forms 10g

    HI,
    Can someone help me in compiling a .fmb file in UNIX? I have created this .fmb file in Forms 10g.I have Oracle Applications in the Front end. I am unable to figure out the commands to compile the form which generates a .fmx file.
    I have placed the .fmb file in the UNIX directory. As Forms6i has f60gen....and 9i has f90gen...I want to know the code that I must execute in the command prompt of the UNIX server. I am a fresher to this. So please explain in as detail as you can.
    Thanks
    Dev

    if the previous doesn't help
    just put something like this :
    find where the frmcmp.sh is located an put the fully qualified path there
    make also sure you execute it with the right user! (normally oracle)
    I don't know if I already mentioned it bu be aware that you need to have an Xdisplay if your working with frmcmp.sh .
    There is a batch command to I believe that doesn't need the Xdisplay
    Remember you can use any display of any machine
    If you set your display to another hosts screen, type xclock on your prompt and the clock should appear on the others screen.
    If you don't know how to look for the command ....
    If it is in your PATH -->" type frmcmp.sh " will give you the directory
    If not go to <oracle_home> eg /opt/oracle -- > " find . -name frmcmp.sh "

    Some additional info I also tried to compile some exisitng forms in the same directroy and those are getting compiled. So then i transfer a compiled form to my harddrive and open it with formbuilder and then save it and ftp it to unix. Again when I try to compile the same form without even making any change I am getting same message.
    So I am suspecting there is something wrong when I am opening and saving the form builder. Can anybody assist me with this problem.
    Thanks.

    I am pretty sure transfer is happening correctly. I am taking care of the binary mode of transfer. Moreover when I transfer an already compiled file from unix and without open it from form builder and save it, I just trasfer it back to the unix box and I am able to compile it.
    Is there any other thought on this.
    Thanks

  • Forms - EXCEL (unix server)

    I want to create a excel file (from oracle forms), It will run at webforms (unix server) and I want to obtain different sheets; How is it possible?
    The form is executed at the server and the file will be created at the server. How I can open it? maybe to open it from forms (Web.Show_Document??), maybe with a link ??.
    Is it possible? Can anybody help me??
    Thanks

    Maria,
    either you use a Java API which allow to deal with xls format (and not CVS format because you have to setup sheets), or you can use Microsoft Office Web Components.
    The first solution can run on the unix server (I think you can download the stuff from Apache group site, but I'm note sure).
    The seconde solution is very easy to use.
    That relies on an ActiveX that you must pilot with VBscript. The VB script must be generated dynamically in your case.
    There are three components (chart, graph and Pivot), each identified by an ID.
    cf MSOWCVBA.CHM on your computer, if you have Office 2000.
    Sample of code:
    <OBJECT classid=clsid:0002E510-0000-0000-C000-000000000046 height=361
    id=Spreadsheet1 style="HEIGHT: 361px; WIDTH: 550px" width="100%">
    <PARAM NAME="ViewableRange" VALUE="A1:XX5000">
    </OBJECT>
    <script language=vbscript>
    Sub Window_onLoad()
    Spreadsheet1.TitleBar.Caption = "Sample Spreadsheet"
    ' Load Data from html file specified in URL
    Spreadsheet1.DataType = "HTMLURL"
    Spreadsheet1.HTMLURL = "http://<machine>:7777/pls/<DAD>/scott.emptocsv?p_type=2&p_table=USER_TABLES"
    End Sub
    </script>
    Caution: Every user must have license Office 2000 in order to use this component.
    Calling from Form
    Form will call a programm which is in charge of generating the VB script above, with the specific data.
    You can develop this programm in PL/SQL, and access it by mod_plsql, by invoking an URL with web.show_document.
    Regards,
    patrick.

  • Modifying form on unix server using Form Builder installed on Windows deskt

    We are using Oracle Applications hosed on unix servers. There is a custom form in XXX_TOP/forms/US folder that I need to modify. My Windows desktop has Forms Builder 10g installed. I ftpied fmb file over from unix server to my Windows desktop and tried opening it. I get an error FRM-18108: Failed to load the following objects: APPSTAND, etc etc. Obviously I am not doing it right. What is the correct way of modifying a form file sitting on unix server, using Forms Builder installed on Windows desktop? Do I need to copy all dependant objects to Windows desktop along with fmb file? Thank you in advance.

    You will also need all of the .plb and .fmb found in the AU_TOP/Resources, however, if you modify an Oracle provided Form you will loose all support from Oracle for that Form and anytime you apply an upgrade or patch, you will loose the changes if the upgrade/patch involves the modified form. There are only 2 approved ways to modify an Oracle supplied EBS form. First is by using the CUSTOM.PLL library and the second is by using Forms Personalization (FP). I strongly recommend you persue using the CUSTOM.pll or FP. If neither of these options will provide the functionality you need - CALL ORACLE SUPPORT before you modify any files.
