Oracle Forms Migration FAQ

ORMIT™-openJava is a cutting-edge migration tool and methodology tailored for transforming legacy Oracle Forms applications into modern, efficient web applications using Angular or React frameworks. This tool automates the conversion process without any dependency on proprietary libraries, significantly reducing migration costs and efforts, thereby minimizing the risks typically associated with such technology transitions.

 

ORMIT™-OpenJava automated migration support migrating 90%+ of the original PL-SQL code to Java and more than 75%+ of the frond-end code migration to React/Angular.

The ORMIT-OpenJava migration tool is designed with risk elimination in mind. A detailed migration project approach specially designed for Oracle Forms application ensure minimal business impact and eliminates the risks of the migration itself.

The functionality remains the same therefore significantly reducing the occurence of bugs that come with rewriiting. On average, opting for migration reduces the risk of errors by around 90%. Testing and  Quality Assurance allow for direct comparison of the quality of the system before and after migration.

To leverage modern user experiences, faster performance, and wider developer support. Plus, it's the future of web app development!

No, the result of the migration does not require any runtime license or proprietary library.

Since our tool converts Oracle Forms to standard Java code, there is no limit to the choice of application server that can be selected for deployment including but not limited to Tomcat, JBoss or any other open source or proprietary application server running on Oracle Cloud, AWS, Azure or any other on prem server.

Absolutely, after the migration, you get a Java application. It can run on any valid Java environment (including the one within docker).

 ORMIT-OpenJava has no JDK distribution dependency, so OpenJDK, Azul, or other non-Oracle JDKs can be used, so there is no implicit Oracle Java licensing dependency which means that ORMIT-OpenJava will never become dependent on oracle java licensing rules. 

All IDE are compatible, but we recommend ECLIPSE and VISUAL STUDIO which are very common free tools.

The ORMIT™-OpenJava tool will automatically migrate any Oracle Forms to Java open source code and React bleeding edge javascript front-end code.

The ORMIT™-OpenJava tool allows any organization to easily convert an existing Oracle Forms to modern Java back-end source code and React bleeding edge javascript front-end code.

The ORMIT™-OpenJava migration tool scans your current Oracle Forms and outputs a Java equivalent of them, allowing any organization to easily move away to Java/React based open source forms.

The ORMIT™-OpenJava tool will detect Oracle Forms 6i and perform a semi-automated migration first to Oracle Forms 12c. ORMIT™-OpenJava will then easily convert an existing Oracle Forms to modern Java back-end source code and React bleeding edge javascript front-end code.

The ORMIT™-OpenJava tool allows any organization to automatically migrate existing Oracle Forms at their own pace to a Java back-end with React front-end code, all based on purely open source librairies. No closed source librairies are used in our migrated code.

Shrinking pool of Oracle Forms developers, technology limitations, vendor lock-in, onerous licenses, deprecation of key components like Oracle Reports are often cited as the most compelling reason to migrate away from Oracle Forms

Server side DB heavy design of APEX as well as vendor lock-in are the most compelling reasons to completely avoid APEX. Most experts suggest migrating Oracle Forms to Java instead.

Oracle Forms has seen less investment from Oracle in the last 5 years: Oracle Forms 14c was initially announced in 2022 and is not yet released as of July 2024. Also many other components of Oracle Forms ecosystem have been deprecated in the past years : Oracle Reports, Oracle Designer, and Oracle Graphics have all been phased out over the years. This is usually what precedes a product deprecation at Oracle.
