Migrate Oracle Forms to Java

Unify’s Composer CipherSoft automatically converts Oracle Forms and PL/SQL code to Java. Composer is the #1 migration solution on the market and the only one of its kind to be validated by Oracle for migrating Forms to Java (J2EE).

Utilizing J2EE simplifies the application development process by using standardized and reusable object oriented components and by automating multi-tier functionality. As a result, the amount of time needed for programming and training is decreased, saving time and money. Composer can convert all releases of Oracle Forms including character based versions such as Release 2.3, 3.0 and 4.5.

By automating the migration process, Composer removes the risk of human error and produces standardized business applications that are fully maintainable, helping companies stay competitive. Composer is the only product available that can extract business logic out of Oracle applications, converting it automatically to Java.

ADF Solutions

When migrating from Forms to J2EE, Oracle JDeveloper, 10g, 11g and Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) are natural choices. They provide concepts such as productive, declarative and framework driven development, which are already familiar to the Forms audience. Users who have developed their applications in Forms find it relatively easy to transition to the ADF technology.

Composer CipherSoft-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, Composer-ADF significantly reduces the costs associated with manually converting legacy software. The converted application preserves the 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 Composer-ADF product, Oracle customers can quickly and efficiently migrate their Oracle Forms applications to the Oracle 10g and 11g environments.

For those comfortable in the Forms world, Oracle JDeveloper and ADF become the natural choices for J2EE development. Oracle's ADF and JDeveloper simplifies J2EE development by minimizing the need to write and maintain code that implements design patterns and application infrastructure. Oracle ADF is based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern.

Composer CipherSoft-ADF will help you migrate Forms applications to the same technology stack used in Oracle E-Business Suite, allowing developers to productively build enterprise-class applications that can then be deployed and managed on Oracle Application Server 10g or 11g. If your business requirements dictate a move towards the J2EE stack, the ADF migration solution will take the functionality of Forms and migrate it to J2EE, leveraging the features of Oracle JDeveloper and Oracle ADF.
