Rag, I hope by relinking forms you mean compiling. Use "adadmin" to relink your forms in 8.0.6. I hope this is Apps 11i , If not revert back and I'll suggest you manual method. There is no need to shutdown application tier while relinking forms Atul Kumar http://onLineAppsDBA (One Stop Shop for Apps DBA's) Apps DBA <dbaorapps@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi all, I have a request to create a new schema as XYZ_NAME and user is asking to give username for that schema as ABC_NAME and password as ABC_NAME. At any chance is he wrong in asking this becuase when the user is created oracle creates a default schema in the name of the user. Also I need to know how to relink all FORMS in Oracle 8.0.6 home. Do we need to bring down all the services and before doing the relinking? Can anyone please help me out on this?
