About the Porting Process
The general process for creating portable applications includes these stages:
- Create standards for the application to ensure a similar "look and
feel" both within the application and across platforms.
- Create the application on the base platform.
- Copy, re-compile, and run on the target platform, testing for any areas
where adjustment is needed for optimum appearance.
When an application is ported, it will be able to run directly on the target
platform. The Toolkit level on which Oracle Forms is built will render
all widgets with the native look-and-feel of the target platform.
However, because of platform-to-platform differences, some minor changes may
have to be made to the original source code so that it meets the requirements
on both the original and the target platform.
- In Oracle Forms, fine-tune the base-platform application.
