Steps to compile forms  in  Oracle Applications Release 11i

Login to Application Tier node as applmgr user

Change to $AU_TOP/forms/US

Execute the Below command to generate form files.

f60gen module=$AU_TOP/forms/US/<custom_form>.fmb  userid=apps/<passwd> output_file=$PRODUCT_TOP/forms/<customformname>.fmx module_type=form compile_all=yes


Tips:

Use command "f60gen help=y" or "frmcmp_batch.sh help=y" to find the optional parameters.

Using Compile_all= yes changes cached version in the source file in addition to compiling pl/sql in the utput fmx file.

Oracle EBS DBA Utilities :FNDLOAD

What are the objects loaded using FNDLOAD in Oracle Applications?

FNDLOAD (Generic Loader) is a concurrent Program which is used to move metadata between database and text file representations.The loader reads a configuration file to determine what data to access.

FNDLOAD can download data from an application entity into a portable, editable text file. This file can then be uploaded into any other database to copy the data. Conversion between database store and file format is specified by a configuration file that is read by the loader. FNDLOAD downloads data from a database according to a configuration (.lct) file, and converts the data into a data file (.ldt file). FNDLOAD can then upload this data to another database using a configuration file.

The loader operates in one of two modes: download or upload. In the download mode, data is downloaded from the database to a text file; in the upload mode, data is uploaded from a text file to the database.

Syntax to upload/download concurrent Programs using FNDLOAD:

To Download:

FNDLOAD apps/** 0 Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct  PROGNAME.ldt PROGRAM APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_NAME="Program_Name"

To Upload:

FNDLOAD apps/$apps_password 0 Y UPLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct PROGNAME.ldt UPLOAD_MODE=REPLACE CUSTOM_MODE=FORCE

Below are the application entities which can be uploaded/downloaded using FNDLOAD.
