Using Forms Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12

First, source the Oracle Applications generated OracleAS 10.1.2 environment
file. The environment file will be located under the 10.1.2 subdirectory of
the Release 12 instance home. For example, assuming Release 12 is installed
under /slot01/appmgr, and the instance name is "txk123", source the
following file:
/slot01/appmgr/inst/apps/txk123/ora/10.1.2/txk123.env

The above could also be written as $ORACLE_CONFIG_HOME/txk123.env, or
$INST_TOP/ora/10.1.2/txk123.env. You can look up $ORACLE_CONFIG_HOME in the
Help->About Window of a Release 12 Forms session if you are not sure of the
underlying directory structure. The Forms Help->About Window displays
settings for the OracleAS 10.1.2 Oracle home.

Second, modify the environment variable FORMS_PATH, so the referenced forms
can be found. Referenced forms are only required by the builder and
compiler. The compiler merges in everything it needs from the referenced
form when it generates the .fmx, so the referenced forms are not used at
runtime; this is the reason they are not in the default FORMS_PATH.
FORMS_PATH=$FORMS_PATH:$AU_TOP/forms/US
export FORMS_PATH

This assumes you are working with the US English version of the form. For
other languages, add the appropriate language subdirectory to FORMS_PATH in
place of US. The referenced objects will then be in the correct language.

Launch the builder by running the following command:
frmbld.sh &

You must use the frmbld.sh script, under $ORACLE_HOME/bin. Do not run the
executable standalone. After sourcing the 10.1.2 environment file,
$ORACLE_HOME should be set to ~/apps/tech_st/10.1.2, and $ORACLE_HOME/bin
should be included in $PATH.
