Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Difficulty compiling forms ported from NT to UNIX
Actually, we have been in contact with Oracle allalong. I didn't post
to the list(s) until we had exhausted all avenues suggested by Oracle
support. It wasn't until I looked into the text generated .fmt files
that i saw the call to libraries in double quotes, implying exact naming
convention syntax parsing, that i decided to SWAG a solution. It's not
pretty, but it works.
Charlie Mengler suggested creating soft links to the file names, which
is a great idea. I was looking for a utility to possible change the
.fmt code itself, but that might be a terrific waste of time.

Yes, I've had a similar experience implementing OAS.
Move from NT to Solaris. I did it all by hand. No utilities that I'm aware of to correct it. Have you checked MetaLink?

Subject: Difficulty compiling forms ported from NT to
UNIX
Please forgive the post (and cross-post) to DBA forums, but due to
firewall upgrades, I am no longer able to access the newsgroups. If
anyone has had similar experiences to the one described below, I would
appreciate any guidance in finding a utility work-around. TIA.
Designer generated Forms (FMBs) are moved to UNIX platform along with
the
attached libraries (llbs). FMBs are not compiling successfully on UNIX.
(Note:
They all work fine on windows platform). This is to serve the Designer
generated Forms using Forms Server 6i installed on UNIX. The UNIX
machine is
Compaq Alpha Server running Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1A (Rev. 1885). The
Developer
software on UNIX is Developer 6i patchset 10.
One of the attached library OFGTEL.llb is referencing OFGMES.llb in an
Initcap
case format. After making OFGMES.llb to Ofgmes.llb, OFGTEL.llb compiled
alright. At this point all attached libraries are moved to UNIX and
compiled
successfully. But, the FMB is not compiling successfully as it is not
attaching the libraries properly no matter what case we use for
libraries and
its compiled versions. All upper case and all lower case filenames did
not
work. We noticed that an error message did refre to the refreenced
filename
as Initcap format, so we changed all attached filename to Initcap
format. Then
we have to convert .fmb file to .fmt and edit it to convert external
filename
references to Initcap. Then convert the fmt back to .fmb format. This
version
of .fmb compiled successfully with all attached library files being
Initcap.
Editing Designer generated .fmb by converting to .fmt (text format) is
tedious
and error prone. We are trying to find if Oracle has a patch/utility for
this
bug. Has anyone had a similar experience?
