Deploy a Custom Library

Use the following steps if you have not deployed a custom Library on your Oracle Applications server.

To deploy a custom library:

1. Back up your existing CUSTOM.pll to CUSTOM.pll.orig.
2. Locate the ODPNCustomPLL.zip file in the ORACLE folder where the Developer is installed and extract the CUSTOM.pll and ODPN.pll files. Copy them to the $AU_TOP/resource folder on the Oracle Applications server.
   Note: $AU_TOP is defined as a variable and references /oracle/VIS/apps/apps_st/appl/au in both a Unix and Windows operating system.
3. Ensure that no one is currently using Oracle Applications (Web Forms). Shut down the Oracle Forms Server service if you are running 11i.
   Note: It is not necessary to shut down any service if you are running R12.
4. While in the $AU_TOP/resource, compile the ODPN.pll and CUSTOM.pll library files using the command for your specific EBS version:

   Oracle 11.5.10 server:
   ifcmp60 module=ODPN.pll module_type=LIBRARY userid=apps/apps@<instance> compile_all=yes
   
   ifcmp60 module=CUSTOM.pll module_type=LIBRARY userid=apps/apps@<instance> compile_all=yes
   
   For Oracle E-Business Suite R12:
   frmcmp module=ODPN.pll module_type=library userid=apps/apps@<instance> compile_all=yes
   
   frmcmp module=CUSTOM.pll module_type=library userid=apps/apps@<instance> compile_all=yes

Note: Replace the database connect string to reflect your instance.

Note: Shutting down the Forms server is not necessary for Oracle E-Business Suite R12.
