Oracle Forms Migration Partners

Oracle Forms Migration Partners
Customers with an investment in Oracle Forms wishing to upgrade and modernize their architecture have many options.  The Oracle Forms Upgrade Center contains information about upgrading to Forms on the web and integrating with Oracle Application Server.  You can then learn about how Forms can participate in the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) world, and how you can reuse your Forms skills with J2EE development on the J2EE Application Development for Forms and Designer Developers page.

For some customers, another viable option is migration of their Forms application and business logic to Java.  This page contains a list of Oracle Partners and Services that have been validated to help with migrating your Forms applications to J2EE and Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF).

The following list is in alphabetical order.
 

 

 Ciphersoft

Product: Exodus-ADF
Exodus-ADF is an innovative conversion product that automates the migration of Oracle Forms to Oracle ADF, including Oracle Menus, Libraries, Triggers and all semantic content. By streamlining the process of conversion, Exodus significantly reduces the costs associated with manually converting legacy Forms applications. The converted application keeps its original look-and-feel, is fully maintainable, portable and contains no wrappers -- providing fast deployment with very little impact on business operations. By utilizing the Exodus product, Oracle customers can quickly and efficiently migrate their Oracle Forms applications to the Oracle 10g environment to take advantage of its extensive capabilities for enterprise applications.

Exodus is benchmarked to be 90% faster then manually converting Oracle Forms and PL/SQL and provides as much as an 80% cost reduction for the client. In addition, Exodus provides an application that is portable, maintainable, web-enabled, and supports a multi-tier architecture.

 

 Neos

Product: Vgo4Oracle
Clients who rely on character-based applications running on mobile platforms, primarily those in the retail and manufacturing sectors, have had limited options for migrating their applications. Neos offers an enterprise-viable conversion option for character-based applications via its Vgo4OracleTM product and Evolution Services offerings. This offering leverages Oracle Corporation’s Application Development Framework (ADF) and Oracle Industrial Telnet Services (ITS) to enable the effective conversion of character-based applications to a pure J2EE compliant architecture.

With Vgo4OracleTM, existing business logic in Oracle Forms applications can be converted to Java code. The user interface for the applications is converted to JSF pages that leverage Oracle ADF Faces components to render the user interface and manage connectivity and messaging.
 

 Oracle

Product: JHeadstart
Oracle JHeadstart 10g for ADF dramatically improves developer's productivity for the Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF). By declaratively specifying your application through highly functional meta data, using simple property editors, and using the JHeadstart Application Generator, JHeadstart can migrate your Forms applications to fully functional applications based on Oracle ADF.

Oracle JHeadstart is seamlessly integrated in the Oracle JDeveloper IDE.  It allows IT organizations to rapidly introduce J2EE, without the need for a team of J2EE gurus to build complex transactional J2EE applications.
