Any comments on how to migrate our Forms V3.0 systems to a platform that can run Forms V4 apps will be appreciated.
We currently run SQL*Forms V3 on an IBM MVS mainframe and _MUST_ convert to a different platform like MS-Windows. The Forms 4 run-time will (unlike Unix) never be ported to the mainframe and Forms 3 will be de-supported on MVS by 1 Jan '98.
Some of our concerns:
- Return on existing investment in Forms 3
- Replacement of 3270 terminals with PC's
- Increased client/server network traffic (block mode vs char/bit mode)
- Our Forms apps integrate with native IBM products like CICS and searchmanager
- Lost of control: software replication (How to keep the Forms in step with the database structures)
Cheers
Frank
