Re: Forms 3 to 4.5

Hi,

There are quite a few issues to be considered when migrating an Forms3.0 application
to GUI using Forms 4.5. There are some issues given below.

1. renaming the old pl/sql package procedures to the new ones. -- Very important issue for upgrading Ex. BLOCK_CHARACTERSTIC to GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY.
2. Introducing GUI Items , alerts,enhancing visual appearence viz fonts, colours.
3. Mouse enabling -- A truly GUI characterstic. Keep in mind that mouse does not fire any key-trigger there by failing to fire any validations / checks that are in the key-triggers.
4. And there are more.....

And about character/GUI migration there are good number of issues/trade off you need to consider before starting.

We , at , Kumaran are specialists in this area having migrated more than 500+ customers to GUI /character modes
world wide and have successfully converted in all platforms that oracle forms4.5 supports.
