Problem: Problems in Using the Forms Migration Assistant in Batch Mode


Symptoms:
You are migrating Forms 6i modules to 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.x) and following the document titled:

Oracle® Forms Migrating Forms Applications From Forms 6i 10g (10.1.2.0.2) for Windows and UNIX
Migrating Forms Applications From Forms 6i

In this document there is an example on how to use a batch script to migrate multiple fmb modules in one execution. The example looks like the following
for %%ff in (%1) do call frmplsqlconv module=%%ff

However, executing this batch file (upgrade.bat) fails as per the following
%ff was unexpected at this time
For %ff in <*.bat> do call frmplsqlconv module=%ff

Cause
There is a syntax error in the documentation. %%f should be used instead of %%ff. Bug 8860237 has been logged to address the error.

Solution
Therefore, edit the batch file so that it only uses the %%f command. Eg,
for %%f in (%1) do frmplsqlconv module=%%f userid=<connect_string>
