3.7.1.1 Using the Project Page

How to use Project page is explained in the following section.

3.7.1.1.1 Viewing Project Details

To view project details, click the project name. The Project page appears.

With the exception of the File Name column, most of the information on the Project page only applies to FormModule XML files (for example, Blocks, Triggers, and Program Units columns). If a column does not apply to the uploaded file, a 0 displays.

The Project page lists the following information about uploaded files:

  • Type - Identifies the type uploaded by displaying the appropriate file extension (for example, RPT for Report and FMB for FormModule files).

  • File Name - Displays the file name and extension (XML or TXT) uploaded into the project.

  • Blocks - Displays a count of blocks in FormModule XML file. A single block can be mapped to a region in Oracle Application Express. A region is an area on a page that serves as a container for content. Each page can have any number of regions. You control the appearance of a region through a specific region template.

  • DB Blocks - Displays the database data blocks in the uploaded FormModule XML file. These blocks can be based on any of the following block data source types: table; procedure; transactional trigger; or subquery. Blocks included in the DB Blocks count are not control blocks. Note that the associated Database Block property is set to Yes.

  • Triggers - Displays a count of all form-level, block-level and item-level triggers associated with the uploaded FormModule XML file.

  • Record Groups - Displays a count of Record Groups in the uploaded FormModule XML file.

  • Lists of Values - Displays a count of lists of values (LOVs) in the uploaded FormModule XML file.

  • Alerts - Displays a count of alerts in the uploaded FormModule XML file.

  • Program Units - Displays the number of schema objects that enable you to access and manipulate database information.

You can review Forms attributes and track manual conversion by clicking the links on this page.
