In restructuring the Oracle Forms product, some legacy features have been dropped or scaled back. The future of Forms includes improving the Java-based Web user interface and extending product "openness" by allowing Java integration on all three tiers.
The following features have been dropped from Oracle Forms:
In addition, rules enforcing trigger usage have become more strict.
The following components have been removed.
When you open a Forms application, obsolete item types are listed at the end of the item-type poplist in the Property Palette. The property values for obsolete items are indicated as obsolete. For example, the property value for VBX would be "VBX Control (Obsolete)".
Note: If you are migrating from older releases of Forms to Oracle Forms, you must first migrate your applications to Forms 6i, and then migrate them to Oracle Forms. See Chapter 16, "Upgrading from Pre-Forms 6i Applications to Oracle Forms" for more information.
You can use the Oracle Forms Migration Assistant, described in Chapter 2, "Using the Oracle Forms Migration Assistant", to resolve many migration issues.
The Oracle Forms Migration Assistant is provided with Oracle Forms to help you migrate your Forms 6i applications. See Chapter 2, "Using the Oracle Forms Migration Assistant" for details.
