Try to generate it again, don't regenerate. The regeneration process could be used to incorporate the changes in the repository after the form was modified with the Oracle Forms Designer.

After changing the data model ( Entity, attributes, relationsships ) you must first populate the changes to the database design ( Tables, colums, keys, views ). It can be done with database design wizard or manualy. After that you can use reconcile utility to generate the alter table DDL statements. ( it works only for very simple changes )
