# Generate forms

Infor recommends to generate a form cache before you start to use Infor ERP LN Web UI 8.7 in combination with Infor Enterprise Server 8.4.2 or lower.

Enterprise Server 8.5 and higher do not use a form cache, because the forms are generated dynamically.

To generate a form cache

Although optional, ensure to generate the ERP forms before you start to use Web UI. If a Web UI form is not yet present in the cache, the first startup up of a session takes longer because the form must first be generated. This leads to a noticeable delay. The second time, and each subsequent time, you start the session, you no longer experience the delay.

If the form cache is pre-filled, you will not experience the delay at first startup.

To generate the forms, you must run Tomcat.

Complete the following steps:

1. Open the Web UI Administration Console.
2. In the navigation area, expand the Infor ERP node.
3. Choose one of the following options:
   - Online Form Cache Initialization
   - Offline Form Cache Initialization

For details, refer to the Infor ERP LN Web UI 8.x - Installation and Configuration Guide (U8715 US).

Note

The process to generate all forms requires a great deal of time.
