ORMIT - Forms Migration Features

The migration process using ORMIT-Forms is fully automated and follows a clearly defined approach.

ORMIT-Forms helps Developers identify, isolate and replace obsolete items/calls in the Forms with the relevant changes as per Oracle's recommended practices. ORMIT-Forms allows Developers to migrate their Forms to new versions without changing any business rules or logic so Developers do not need documentation for the application prior to the migration.

The intuitive and easy-to-use UI provides for a low learning curve. Anyone who has used Forms Builder could easily start using ORMIT-Forms right away.

ORMIT-Forms provides a pre-migration analysis and a post-migration log file. The migration logs provide documentation for future uses and are easily sorted so developers can quickly identify group errors that can be addressed together.

ORMIT-Forms allows Developers to address multiple Forms. Post-migration fixes can also be made to all or a selected set of Forms simultaneously, resulting in significant time savings.

ORMIT-Forms also provides an option to create a pre-migration check report based on the provided inputs for the selected form(s). Users can select the pre-migration options that apply prior to the migration process. These pre-migration parameters are saved and can be maintained during consecutive migration process. Users can define their own "replacement words" or leave it to ORMIT-Forms to replace Oracle reserved PL/SQL words during migration.

The Migration Wizard is a very powerful feature of ORMIT-Forms. Developers are able to use this wizard to migrate older versions of Forms to version 9i/10g based on user preferences and inputs.

Some of the other features within the migration wizard include:

• Convert V2 trigger to V3 \ PL/SQL.
• Modify special format masks to migrated version compliant.
• Rename V3 system variables to upgraded version equivalents.
• Fix display length incompatibilities.
• Replace PL/SQL and Oracle reserve words.
• Accept user specified date format during migrated Forms.
• Supports Forms by Forms or batch migration process.
• Detailed log files are generated which records all the activity during migration.
• Address all issues related to built-ins, system variables and compatibility.
• Performs a complete GUI implementation.
• Integrates full mouse navigation without compromising application functionalities.
• Proper handling of restricted triggers without affecting application functionality.
• Optional customized tool bar (horizontal/vertical) addition against Oracle default tool bar.
• Takes care of Window titles and Root Window problems.
• Migrate Forms without truncating names which are longer than eight characters.
• Modifies old pop-ups into stacked views.
• Existing PL/SQL library can be used during migration.
• Facility to transfer messages to alerts.
