Comparison of Windows vs Unix compiled Forms/Reports objects

3483968Jun 10 2020 — edited Jun 10 2020

Background:

My project develops Oracle Forms and Reports using the Windows Forms/Reports Builder Tool.  We always recompile the 'source forms and reports' objects on a Solaris Unix server using the Oracle batch compiler.  Our end users login to their application via a Windows browser to a Unix server containing Oracle middleware and DB software/objects.

My questions:

  1. Can the Windows forms and reports compiled objects (e.g., fmx, .rep) be copied to the Unix server and used without recompiling?
  2. If I was to do a file compare, would the Windows compiled objects (e.g., fmx, .rep) be identical to the Unix compiled objects?
