Firstly,

  • compiled Oracle forms files extension is .fmx

Different scripts used for 11i and r12.

Oracle E-Business Suite 11i

  • f60gen module=$AU_TOP/forms/US/formName.fmb userid=apps/appsPwd output_file=$applicationBasePath/forms/US/formName.fmx

Oracle E-Business Suite r12

  • frmcmp_batch module=$AU_TOP/forms/US/formName.fmb userid=apps/appsPwdoutput_file=$applicationBasePath/forms/US/formName.fmx module_type=form batch=NO compile_all=special
