How to compile Oracle Apps Forms

Forms, menus and libraries are compiled using the frmcmp.sh or frmcmp_batch.sh scripts. You can find these in the "$FR_INST/bin/" directory. Running the command without any parameters displays the usage information. 

Script: 


#!/bin/bash

export FORMS_PATH=/u04_forms/app/oracle/product/fmw11g/fr_binaries/forms/itrac12c_1

export DB_USER=test
export DB_PASSWD=test123
export DB_SERVICE=DEVXXXX

# Libraries
for FILE in `ls $FORMS_PATH/*.pll`; do
  OUTPUT=${FILE/pll/plx}
  echo "$FILE -> $OUTPUT"
  $FR_INST/bin/frmcmp_batch.sh $FILE $DB_USER/$DB_PASSWD@$DB_SERVICE \
    module_type=library batch=yes output_file=$OUTPUT compile_all=special
done

# Menus
for FILE in `ls $FORMS_PATH/*.mmb`; do
  OUTPUT=${FILE/mmb/mmx}
  echo "$FILE -> $OUTPUT"
  $FR_INST/bin/frmcmp_batch.sh $FILE $DB_USER/$DB_PASSWD@$DB_SERVICE \
    module_type=menu batch=yes output_file=$OUTPUT compile_all=special
done

# Forms
for FILE in `ls $FORMS_PATH/*.fmb`; do
  OUTPUT=${FILE/fmb/fmx}
  echo "$FILE -> $OUTPUT"
  $FR_INST/bin/frmcmp_batch.sh $FILE $DB_USER/$DB_PASSWD@$DB_SERVICE \
    module_type=form batch=yes output_file=$OUTPUT compile_all=special
done
