Migration tools
Several different tools may be used depending on the version of forms and what is needed to be achieved.
Some of our tools are written to do a specific job, ie forms 3.0 to Forms 10g migration, while others can be customised to vary their function according to client requirements.
Examples of the types of things our forms tools can do:
- Migrate from Forms 3.0/4.5/5.0/6i through to Forms 10g or 11g
- Change character mode (ie keystroke controlled forms) to work with mouse navigation in web mode forms
- Mass change properties / colours / coding etc across many forms in one go.
- Change the size of forms screen to match a change in resolution. ie 640x480 changed to run in 1024x768
- Add triggers or other code into many forms in one pass.
- Change forms3 line-draw to Windows style inset lines and boxes.
- Field labels converted to prompts
- Co-ordinate system converted from character mode to real mode
- Multi-row blocks given current row indicator and scroll bars
- Date fields given calendar pop-ups and LOV fields given automatic LOV pop-up on double click.
- Database referenced items converted to file references.
- Older or obsolete built-ins converted to their newer counterparts.
- Non-enterable fields converted to display-item where possible.
- New format masks added to date fields.
- Realignment of fields to give a better Windows/web look and feel.
- Changing of multi record blocks to make them look more like spreadsheet sections (if required).
- Conversion of host commands to work in the Appplication Server environment.
- Migration of report calls to user the Reports Web Server
- Migration of Pro*C code and user-exits to work in the Appplication Server environment.
