1) Log into the forms tier.
2) Set the applications environment
3) Ensure that the $FORMS_PATH includes $AU_TOP/resource and $AU_TOP/resource/stub, for example
echo $FORMS_PATH
/u01/oracle/DEV/apps/apps_st/appl/au/12.0.0/resource:
/u01/oracle/DEV/apps/apps_st/appl/au/12.0.0/resource/stub
4) Compile the form
a)- If you are using forms customizations (CUSTOM.pll) then run the command below to compile the form.

frmcmp_batch.sh module=<path to fmb file> userid=APPS/APPS output_file=<full path to fmx output file> module_type=form compile_all=special

For eg:-
frmcmp_batch.sh module=/u01/oracle/TEST/apps/apps_st/appl/au/12.0.0/forms/US/XXX.fmb userid=APPS/APPS output_file=/u01/oracle/TEST/apps/apps_st/appl/inv/12.0.0/forms/US/XXX.fmx module_type=form compile_all=special

b) If you are NOT using forms customizations, then run the command below to compile the form.

frmcmp_batch.sh module=<path to fmb file> userid=APPS/APPS output_file=<full path to fmx output file> module_type=form

For example..

frmcmp_batch.sh module=/u01/oracle/TEST/apps/apps_st/appl/au/12.0.0/forms/US/XXX.fmb userid=APPS/APPS  output_file=/u01/oracle/TEST/apps/apps_st/appl/inv/12.0.0/forms/US/XXX.fmx module_type=form
