How to compile Oracle Apps Forms (11i & R12)

Check whether the forms that you want to generate are not in use at the time you are generating them.
If they are in use when you generate the fmx files, the forms client session terminates.

1) Login to the Forms server node as applmgr and run .env file to set the applications environment.
2) Change directory to $AU_TOP/forms/US.
3) Use the “f60gen” command to generate the fmx files for the fmb files.
4) Issue the following command :
f60gen module=.fmb userid=apps/ output_file=/forms/US/.fmx
