Oracle forms11g batch-compile

• Compile forms modules in batch-mode

We can run the Migration Assistant in batch mode on Windows and UNIX computers. We will do the test on WindowsXp system

If we have an application with many forms modules, let’s say for example, more than 60 forms modules and we have made a change in one or more pll-libraries used by each of these forms modules.

It’s easy and fast  to compile the all files at once than opening each forms module in formseditor.

Here is a simple test of a whole compilation of the ModuleSource folder’s content

• Create a batch script containing the following lines and save it in the folder containing the entire forms application ‘s modules. (pll,mmb and fmb files)
• Open a dos-command window and run your batch file from your directory

@Echo OFF
cls
Echo compiling Libraries….
for %%f IN (*.pll) do frmcmp userid=summit/summit@xe module=%%f batch=YES module_type=LIBRARY compile_all=yes window_state=minimize
Echo FINISHED COMPILING LIBRARIES
Echo compiling Menus….
for %%f IN (*.mmb) do frmcmp userid=summit/summit@xe module=%%f batch=YES module_type=MENU compile_all=yes window_state=minimize
Echo FINISHED COMPILING MENUS
Echo compiling Forms….
for %%f IN (*.fmb) do frmcmp userid=summit/summit@xe module=%%f batch=YES module_type=FORM compile_all=yes window_state=minimize
Echo FINISHED COMPILING FORMS

After running your script, fmx /mmx/plx – file is respectively generated for for each Forms/Menu and Pll library.
