If I copy a fmb from Linux to Windows after saving the fmb without anychanges I can not compile it.
I get
"ROS ERRORL -200
Segmentation fault(coredump).

I have noticied that the form has increased a lot in size

Any ideas

I can think of the following:

Form was not ftp'd in binary.
Forms version is higher than the compile version on Window$.

I checked the ftp but not the forms version in Windows I will have to try that.
However I didn't compile it in Windows. I just opened the fmb and saved it.

If I compiled it and copied the fmx over I got a different error.

These versions (Unix & Windows) seem to be exactly the same; are they really, or did you - by mistake - post wrong information for one of them?

The bottom one is from Windows. The form is a few years old.
I don't know who created it.

When compiling: did you compile "all" (Ctrl + Shift + K)?

I Googled a little bit; this error is mentioned here and there, but it seems that root cause is not always the same. It's been said that there's no enough disk space for creating TMP files. I suppose you do have enough space, but - is that user (who is compiling a form) allowed to write into that directory? What about TMP / TEMP directory? Is there a disk quota set, perhaps?

Or, they mention converting a form into a text (FMT) file and then back to FMB.

A workaround is to create a brand new form by copying objects from the old from to a new one. That might be a difficult taks when the form is rather complex (so you don't know is it better to write a new form manually or try to fix it by copying objects).

Anyway, the news are all but good.

Thank you for your help. I did lots of googling without

The problem was when I compiled the form via Unix.
(The operating system of the Oracle install. I used
f60gen (I don't have the exact command syntax to hand).

I did test that I had write ability in that directory by creating a text file.

The problem is that I want to
a) modify the fmb in forms builder
b)ftp back to Unix
c) compile the form.

However even if the form has not changed at all (proof of concept) the compiling fails. If I compile the form in Windows it doesn't work when I copy it to Unix.

I didn't quite get the point - why are you trying to modify the form on a Windows machine? Why don't you do that on Unix? No FTP-ing back and forth, modifying here and using there ... no problem.

This could be where I think that I have been stupid.
Is there a forms builder that works in Unix? If so is it just run command x and forms opens?

Is there Forms for Unix? Of course there is! Right here (for 10g version). For older versions (that are no longer available for download), you'll have to contact Oracle.

Sadly that doesn't work with AIX Sad

Shouldn't an 11.5.10 install have the ablitlity to compile with a later version of forms than that?
I wonder if there is an env setting I need to change

That's what I hate with Oracle - they remove the "old" downloads and you can't find them any more. But here's the documentation: "Oracle Application Server Release Notes 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) for AIX" which contains "Section 5.3.11, Updated Prerequisite for AIX 5L Version 5.2 Systems" so I *suppose* it was, once upon a time, possible to install that piece of software on AIX. Perhaps you could contact Oracle anyway?

The solution is to raise an SR and get exactly the right version of forms.

I see. I suppose that you can't just navigate to that address through existing download links on OTN, right? Just being curious - did they create some kind of "username & password" for you, or is it just an URL you pasted into the browser and got the software?

I'm asking that because now and then people come and ask how to download "old" Oracle software. I knew that, once you contact Oracle, they will (might) provide it, but I never found out how exactly it works. So, if it is not a problem, it would be great if you could describe the process in a few words. You know,
- I went to My Oracle Support and opened a SR
- they replied (how?)
- then I ...

P.S. Forgot to ask - did it cost any money (besides the current license fees)?

1) It did not cost any money
2) In the SR I said I can not compile I have forms 6x in Windows and 6x+y in Unix.
3) They said try here to get the correct forms for Windows as it must be 100% the same

Here are the links

Patch 18: https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download/p4948577_600_WINNT.zip?aru=8328294&patch_file=p4948577_600_WINNT.zip

So you can easily download it if you have the right patch number (that is not so easy to know) and a metalink account.

Thank you everyone for your help.

Oh, so it were the patches you needed! I thought (don't know why) that you needed to download the whole 6i Developer Suite for Unix.

OK, thank you for sharing the information!
