============
1) Source the Env file

$FND_TOP/bin/txkrun.pl -script=ChangeFormsMode \
[-contextfile=<CONTEXT_FILE>] \
-mode=socket \
[-port=<Forms port number>] \
-runautoconfig=<No or Yes> \
-appspass=<APPS password>

 $FND_TOP/bin/txkrun.pl -script=ChangeFormsMode \

 -contextfile=$INST_TOP/appl/admin/mycontext.xml \
