Forms12c - FORMS_PATH - developers working directory at start of path

KeyserOct 5 2016 — edited Oct 12 2016

Hi,

Forms12c 12.2.1.1 (webstart=enabled)

Our Weblogic server is on Oracle Enterprise Linux 7.

how do we tell the weblogic forms server to look first for the .fmx in the developers private directory on the unix box before using the .fmx in the central shared directory on the unix box?

I don't want to have to create hundreds of entries in the formsweb.cfg file and hundreds of corresponding *.env files.that have a FORMS_PATH with a hard coded reference to each developers working directory e.g.

FORMS_PATH=/u01/app/developers/johnSmith:/u01/app/ourApp/forms

can I create a generic FORMS_PATH entry with a variable in it that can be passed in via the URL or something? e.g.

FORMS_PATH=%myFormsPath%:/u01/app/ourApplication/forms

http://ourMachine:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=ourApplication&myFormsPath=/u01/app/developers/johnSmith

What is best practice for this scenario?

Thanks
