How to invoke Forms Builder (Version 9.0.4.0.19) on the UNIX command line using Reflection X-Windows

user8859014Dec 30 2014 — edited Jan 2 2015

Hi All,

I am in an unusual situation associated with an application that has needed upgrade but delaying due to unavoidable circumstances.


My desktop with Windows-7 is my development environment. It has Forms Builder with version 10.1.2.0.2 which I can only access in Windows-XP mode. We have an application running on Solaris-8 (hosted on top of Solaris-10) developed in Forms version 9.0.4.0.19.


Now I need to increase a field length on one of the screens. If I modify the file on version 10.1.2.0.2, the compiler on the host (with version 9.0.4.0.19) is throwing an error FRM-30085: Unable to adjust form for output. So, I thought of modifying the file by invoking the Forms Builder on the host itself which has in version 9.0.4.0.19. But could not able to find the executable. Could someone please help me by giving the correct file name and if possible how to invoke it by using the Reflection X-Windows.

For info I have a different application on Solaris-10 with Forms 11g and successfully invoking the Forms Builder through the Reflection X-Windows by executing frmbld.sh which is in the /u01/Oracle/Middleware/asinst_1/bin directory. I am looking for similar executable in the version 9.0.4.0.19? Appreciate for any help!
