Forms 14.1.2 builder under Windows2022 is having issues with two administrator accounts on the same machine FRM-10150

FCHJun 13 2025 — edited Jun 13 2025

Hi,

I am having the following issue. I have one windows2022 server with two admin accounts.

WIN2022-DEV1
WIN2022-DEV2

I am calling the Forms builder:

C:\oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\bin\frmbld.exe

ACCOUNT A)
Administrator

If I start the Forms builder with administrator privs and want to store some changes in preferences I get:

The file cauprefs.ora is not changed. if I delete it under

C:\oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\frmrep141\config\fmwconfig\
components\FORMS\instances\forms1\tools\admin

it makes no differences. The Forms builder can not create a new one. It seems an issue of privledges.

ACCOUNT B)
Administrator

The other admin account has the same setting but when I start the builder I get a message

and if I click YES then everything works fine.

I tried to compare the UAC setting of both admin accounts but they are the same.

Question: What can I do that the message in B) will also appear In A) when I start the Forms Builder so I can store the preferences

Probably a window setting?

Enhancement request for Mike: (Windows/Linux)
=======================

One Question for Mike. Is there a chance that Administrator A) gets a different version of cauprefs.ora than Administrator B)

Maybe a way the cauprefs.ora is stored in the Windows Profile instead of the Middleware Domain directory or you store cauprefs.ora together with the Windows PROFILE name like cauprefs_WIN2022-dev1.ora and cauprefs_WIN2022-dev2.ora

With this slight change two Forms developers could share the same Formsserver with different Preferences.

In Oracle Linux you then could even create multiple VNC accesses with different users and different preferences so one Cloud Server could serve hundrets of developers.
