Managing Files - Generating Product Files

Every Oracle Applications product contains generated files, such as form, report, message, and JAR (Java archive) files. Run AD Administration when you suspect generated files are missing. For example, if users are not able to use a certain General Ledger form, regenerating the form file may resolve the issue. You may also need to generate files after you license additional products.
You do not have to shut down your system to generate files. However, users that are accessing the files being generated (for example, for Human Resources forms) must log off.

Actions
1- Determine the file types that require generation.
2- Start AD Administration, provide all relevant info to this utility

3- From the AD Administration Main menu, go to the Generate Applications Files menu and select the task for the type of files you want to generate, based on the following criteria:

• When you choose one of the options for generating form or report files, you can select an individual file, a set of files, or all files of the selected type.

• The "Generate product JAR files" option allows you to generate all JAR files for all products, or only JAR files that are out-of-date.

• The "Generate message files" option generates all message files for all products.

 4- Repeat the generation task on each APPL_TOP that contains the files (if the system contains multiple APPL_TOPs).
5- Review the AD Administration log file for warnings or errors.
for example
C:\oracle\PROD\apps\apps_st\appl\admin\PROD\log\adadmin.log
