.PLX File on the Application-Server
markradiSep 11 2008 — edited Sep 11 2008hi there,
we are on the way to migrate a Forms 6i Application, which works quite well at the moment. While preparing/testing a new development.Environment. We've found that forms still has a problem in overwriting a .PLX Library. Forms has the same problem with .MMX and .FMX, but that can be solved, through setting the parameter FORMS_MMAP. But with .PLX it doesn't help.
Today we can live with this restriction, because we have created a work-a-round by having a forms in advance which doesn't use any Lib and that Form can download the newer versions of the .PLX.
But now things change ...
Thinking about the AS running a couple of users (or 100ths of them) and when at some point I want to deploy a new .PLX,
What's then ?
The only idea I#ve found so far on the internet was a recommendation from Oracle to have a second "environment"/"Forms-directory" and copy the new version to that place and switch the Environment to use the new place.
This sound a bit ridiculous to me.
Is this really the only way ?
thanks for any answers,
Mark
