about two years ago, we migrated oracle forms environment to 11.1.2.1.0, running with oracle 11g database. we recompiled all of our custom forms with no problem at that time. This past august, we upgraded the database to oracle 12c. we didn't attempt to recompile any forms at the time, and all of our custom forms are executing just fine. however, i'm making changes to one and compiles are failing with the 30085 error. no other messages indicating any form elements that might be out of place or not associated with a canvas or stuff like that.
here's what i've tried:
1) i've been able to compile the form successfully using forms builder, but only when doing a "compile all".
2) i cannot, however, compile it on the forms server with the frmcmp command. our script by default has compile_all=special, and i've also tried it with compile_all=YES. i still get the 30085.
is this a code problem, and i need to fiddle with form elements to make the error go away? if so, how can i get any information about what form elements are causing the problem, given that they aren't coming out in the compile output?
is it a software problem? do we need to upgrade our oracle forms to 11.1.2.2.0?
