Object Library Error:

Question

Hi Everyone,
We do have Oracle Forms 6i I just started upgrading them to 10g.
1. Do we need to Compile Object Libraries in 10g, if so how?
2. When I try to open object libraries on 10G, some of them open but a couple of them are having problems. the error is:
Error Signature.
App Name: fmbld.exe AppVer 10.1.2.0 ModName fmdg.dll
ModVer: 10.1.2.0 Offset: 00001a23
These object libraries can be opened in 6i, I have included them in the 10g path.
the only thing I found is that the Object Library that have an Object Group included, if I delete the object group from the Object Library and then save and compile in 6i, it will open in 10g.
But on the other hand the object libraries that I can open in 10g does have object groups attached to them.
One last thing there is a big difference between the object Libraries that 10g can open them and cannot.
object groups from the object library tab can be dropped in a form(10g opens these)
does not allow object groups from the object library to be included in any form (10g does not open these).
Any advice is helpful..
thanks,

Hi Every One,
As said earlier, we have compiled all libraries, object libraries, menu and forms successfully and tested them on windows. (I am sorry we have updated our application from 6i to 10g). Now we have to move to Unix, this is where the problem started.
Form A is calling Form B, passes a parameter, works fine when tested on windows, fails when tested on server.
This is the error:
FRM-47023: No such parameter named PROCESS_MODE exists in the form B.
When the Form A calls Form B (this is done by a menu M1)
Form A does have a parameter defined as PROCESS_MODE
the triggers in the menu are:
procedure browse_menu_option
(p_window_title varchar2
,p_form_name varchar2) is
pl_id ParamList;
begin
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List(p_form_name||'_parms');
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List(pl_id);
END IF;
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List(p_form_name||'_parms');
window_title(p_window_title);
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'PROCESS_MODE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'BROWSE');
form_call(p_form_name,pl_id);
set_runform_properties;
end browse_menu_option;
procedure update_menu_option
(p_window_title varchar2
,p_form_name varchar2) is
pl_id ParamList;
begin
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List(p_form_name||'_parms');
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List(pl_id);
END IF;
pl_id := create_parameter_list(p_form_name||'_parms');
window_title(p_window_title);
add_parameter(pl_id,'PROCESS_MODE',text_parameter,'UPDATE');
form_call(p_form_name,pl_id);
set_runform_properties;
end update_menu_option;
When form B is activated the WHEN-NEW-FORM-TRIGGER have this code.
BEGIN
set_window_property(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,window_state,maximize);
set_window_property('RPT_DEF', WINDOW_STATE, MAXIMIZE);
FORM_SECURITY_CHECK;
icon_bar_init;
set_all_item_defaults;
QUIET_QUERY;
END;
FORM_SECURITY_CHECK is a procedure defined in a PLL Library.
PROCEDURE FORM_SECURITY_CHECK IS
ACCESS_DENIED EXCEPTION;
FORM_NAME VARCHAR2(8) := NULL;
BEGIN
IF NAME_IN('PARAMETER.PROCESS_MODE') = 'UPDATE' THEN
FORM_NAME := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(CURRENT_FORM_NAME);
ELSE
FORM_NAME := 'OSCAR';
END IF;
END;
Form B does have a parameter defined as PROCESS_MODE to receive and is part of the object_library.
Now the funny thing is that if I delete the object_library and reattach but this time instead of "subclass" I choose "copy" and it works fine, but when the items are "subclassed" it does not work, not only this it does not even see any subclassed item.
the way I attached the object library is directed by Tony Garabedian.
I can choose to copy rather subclass but the disadvantage is that I loose all inherted properties, which is a pain to redo all.
Any help is appriciated...
