FRM-40039 error post 32 bit to 64 bit migration. Please help.

Question

Hello,
I'm facing the a problem where during runtime I get error:
'FRM-40039: Cannot Attach library Ofgtel while opening Form XXX'
I'm facing this issue post migration of my environment from 32 bit server to 64 bit server.
One more thing I noticed is that after copying and compiling the ofgtel.pll file from production, the pll file size is changing. I agree that this would happen based on platform change, but this change in filesize is happening only with this library and not with few more which exist in the same path.
Can someone please please help me fix this issue.

Answer 1

The file Ofgtel.pll (plx) is a Designer module. Therefore I will suspect that your application was originally created using Designer and not directly from Forms. You need to ensure that ALL of the Designer modules which your application uses are re-generated in v11 on the machine where they will be used. Do not generate them and attempt to move them to another machine. Also, it is important that you ensure that the file locations are included in FORMS_PATH (default.env).
As for running the Builder on Linux64, this can be done, but is not supported in R1 (11.1.1). A simple modification to the frmbld.sh file will allow the Builder to start on x64. But again, this is NOT supported so please do not contact Oracle Support when/if you have problems doing this. If you need to reattach libraries or make any application changes, I recommend you do this on a supported platform. Save your changes then move the source files (fmb, mmb, pll, olb) to the runtime machine. On the runtime machine, you will need to generate the X files as I mentioned earlier.
If you continue to get messages which suggest that a file could not be attached, it likely means that you did not generate the X file, the X file cannot be found, or there is a permissions issue on the file. Remember that on Unix (Linux) case sensitivity can be an issue.
