Using Developer Server 2.1, WAS 3.0.2, RDBMS 8.0.5 Two seperate ORACLE_HOME's. One for (Developer Server and WAS), and one for RDBMS.
Platform: Sun Solaris 2.5.1
All servers installed and running normal

I've built a forms application using Developer 2000 v. 2.0 on Windows 95 platform. The form compiles correctly on 95 and I'm able to connect to remote database on Solaris using Net 8 (sqlnet). The application runs fine.

I'm wanting to deploy this forms application over the web but first I need to compile the .fmb file on the server that runs the developer server. This is where I run into a problem.

I ftp the .fmb file from the windows platform in binary mode to the UNIX server at $ORACLE_HOME/forms50/html/

I then run the command
$ f50gen Module=pt.fmb Userid=<user>/<password>_at_<database instance> batch=y

After a few seconds of processing, I get the $ prompt back with no error messages but there is no .fmx file

If I run the command with logon=no, it produces a pt.err file which shows compilation errors because I need to be connected to the database to compile successfully. This tells me that f50gen is doing it's job but why doesn't it produce a .fmx file.

I've been banging my head on this for the last couple of days with little success. Tech Support has offered good suggestions but none that work.

Please Help. Thank You.
