Although a form can be copied over an open form in Unix, it is not possible to copy over an open form in Windows.<\/p>\n
One recommendation is to implement two deployment locations: the actual location where all of the production forms are deployed and a temporary location for new deployments which is specified earlier in the FORMS_PATH. New or updated forms are deployed in the temporary location and then moved over to the main location during a time when no one will be using the application.<\/p>\n
Example FORMS_PATH entry:<\/p>\n
FORMS_PATH=C:\\Oracle\\Middleware\\Oracle_FRHome1\\forms;C:\\app\\forms_new;C:\\app\\forms<\/p>\n
C:\\app\\forms_new<\/strong> would be an example of a temporary location where new and updated forms would go and\u00a0C:\\app\\forms<\/strong> would be an example of the current live forms.<\/p>\n In this example, forms are deployed under C:\\app\\forms<\/strong>. When a new form needs to be deployed during working hours when the app is being heavily used, it is deployed under C:\\app\\forms_new<\/strong>. As new users connect or reconnect to a form, they connect to the new form under forms_new<\/strong> since it is earlier in the FORMS_PATH.
