Oracle Apps use forms, OAF and ADF tools to design user interface. The look
and feel are the same across all the forms, OAF pages to have consistent
across Oracle Apps. Your custom form should also follow the same standards
so that it does not look alien when registered with Oracle Apps.

So let’s see how to Setup custom form development environment in


Oracle Apps

1. Download APPSTAND.fmb and TEMPLATE.fmb

Oracle Apps provides a starting point as TEMPLATE.fmb and


APPSTAND.fmb module.

APPSTAND.fmb:- collection of standard objects like triggers, canvas,


windows, blocks, LOV.

TEMPLATE.fmb:-  sample block, canvas, window, libraries. This form inherits


objects properties from APPSTAND.fmb.

This inheritance is important here, if while developing any custom form if it


breaks your form behavior would change. Each child form checks these
dependencies in $AU_TOP/forms/US and $AU_TOP/resource/US. There is
an equivalent path in windows env forms_path. All parent objects should be
there in form_path.
2. find forms_path

Below are the steps to find forms_path in Windows.

Navigate to Start–>Run and type regedit to open the registry editor. Click on


Edit –> Find. Enter FORMS_PATH in the text box. Click Find Next button.

It is C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms. All dependent objects should be under this


path.

3. Copy TEMPLATE.fmb, APPSTAND.fmb and PLL

Download TEMPLATE.fmb, APPSTAND.fmb from $AU_TOP/forms/US path


and common standard PLL mentioned below from the $AU_TOP/resource
path. You can use any FTP client like WinSCP or Filezilla. Copy all these files
to your development environment form the path shown above paragraph, in
this case, C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms.

List of Libraries (PLL),

1. APPCORE.pll
2. VERT.pll
3. GLOBE.pll
4. JA.pll
5. JE.pll
6. JL.pll
7. CUSTOM.pll
8. FNDSQF.pll
9. APPDAYPK.pll
10. APPFLDR.pll
11. FV.pll
12. HRKPI.pll
13. GHR.pll
14. GMS.pll
15. IGILUTIL.pll
16. IGILUTIL2.pll
17. PSAC.pll
18. PQH_GEN.pll
19. PSA.pll
20. PSB.pll
21. OPM.pll
22. APPCORE2.pll
23. VERT1.pll
24. VERT2.pll
25. VERT3.pll
26. VERT4.pll
27. VERT5.pll
28. IGI_CBC.pll
29. IGI_CC.pll
30. IGI_CIS.pll
31. IGI_DOS.pll
32. IGI_EXP.pll
33. IGI_IAC.pll
34. IGI_MHC.pll
35. IGI_SIA.pll
36. IGI_STP.pll
37. FNDMOAC
4. Open TEMPLATE.fmb file

Now, launch form builder and TEMPLATE.fmb. The form should open without
any error and you should see all files attached to the forms. This should work,
but sometimes you may get FRM-10102 error, as form builder could not
attach required libraries.

FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library APPCORE. This library


attachment will be lost if the module is saved.
In this case, you need to attach libraries individually as shown below.

5. Attach PLL to Template.fmb

Below are the steps to attach pll to Template.fmb.

Note:- Do not save TEMPLATE.fmb file till the time all files are attached and
you do not get FRM-10102 error, else library attachment will be lost.

Launch form builder and open TEMPLATE.fmb file. Click Ok when you get
error popup as shown below.

You will get an error like missing libraries. Click each library and attach it to
the forms builder one by one. There is a minimum of 36 libraries you need to
attach.
Select the Attached Libraries node and click on + symbol. This opens Attach
Libray pop up where you can browse and select the file.

Click the Attach button. You may get error APPCORE.pll contains a non-
portable directory specification. Remove path?

Click the Yes button.

Form builder tries to attach the library. But you may get additional pll error if
there is any dependency. So you need to attach that library first and then the
original one.

File get attached to the TEMPLATE.fmb form.
