[Quoted] [Quoted] Has anyone been able to generate forms sequentially and automatically [Quoted] using a SQL*Plus script, DOS batch file or other script tool? I need to build an automatic form, library and menu generator to generate 16 forms, 21 libraries and 12 menus. There is one for the Macintosh (called Oracle Command) which works quite well. But there does not seem to be an equivalent Windows version. If a DOS batch file is used, each form generation session is created, but the batch file moves on to the next one before the first one is finished. This causes the machine to fill with F45gen32 sessions which then start to GPF. The same thing happens with a SQL*Plus script using the HOST command. Only 4 F45gen32 sessions can be run on the machine at one time without difficulty.
Is there an option on SQL*Plus or elsewhere that would allow running F45gen32 synchronously, allowing each session to finish before starting a new one, or a way to detect when a session is completed? A possible hack solution is to build a timing function on the database and call it from the generate script to slow down the speed the script starts new sessions.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Received on Wed Apr 23 1997 - 00:00:00 CEST
