The Revolution Continues…

Introducing the New TransForm v5

The most Automated and feature rich Forms migration toolkit that can be…

TF5 is highly automated. It handles Business Logic handling and complete migrations and that too with utmost ease. The toolkit now is successful in eliminating a huge part of the manual work that used to performed with previous versions of TransForm toolkit, and automating the binding process. Coupled with its powerful migration capability, the new additions in TF5 will help automate your migration projects by about 80% to 90%.


The new TransForm5 (TF5) is possibly the best thing on the block for Oracle Forms Migrations.

Some of the great features in TransForm5 include:

Left Right
Automated handling of PL/SQL Logic in Database Package, Procedures The toolkit automatically addresses the adding of variables required to place this logic into the package, procedures.

Automated handling of CRUD Related triggers

The new toolkit allows for a near 100% complete automated migration of DB (CRUD) related business logic to DB packages. CRUD related logic refers to the Pre and Post Query, Insert, Delete, Modify based logic that is moved to the DB.

TransForm5 virtually eliminates all manual work that one needs to currently perform for CRUD related logic while doing projects.

Automated writing of package to the DB The package is automatically written directly to the database without manual intervention.
Automated Customization binding between DB Package and Java code The toolkit also automatically creates bindings (customization) which is required to bind the package with the generated Java code.
Automatic placement of default toolbar buttons: The default toolbar buttons such as search, query, new, save, delete, previous, next can now be added with a click of a button, at which point the toolkit automatically creates the java methods for these buttons and actions.
Automated Handling of NonCRUD Related triggers

The user has the option of which of these nonCRUD triggers they wish to migrate to Java or move to the DB package.

The DB chosen triggers will be automatically handled as with the CRUD.

All Migrate to Java NonCRUD triggers i.e. which relate to event or UI based logic are then automatically moved to Java Methods. Though this java code will need some manual handling, the code is very easy to understand and address. which are opted to be moved to Java

All necessary bindings to the items and their methods are automatically generated too.

The new toolkit and migration process giving full control of the logic handling to the user.

Built-Ins: Toolkit now also handles built-ins. We have currently added Set_Item_Property and Show Alert Built-in handling as these are the most popular of the lot. A framework has been put in place with the generated code that will allow adding more built-ins over period of time.

Automated creating LOV views for multi table query: The toolkit automatically creates multiple query based view and replaces the LOV query with the view based one.

Automated creation of nondbblock table and sequence function: TransForm already handled the Non Database Block functionality. Now TF5 automatically creates the DB table required for nondbblock handling and its sequencing.
Analysis of Form and prompt user for possible migration issues: The toolkit now provides a pre-migration analysis where it shows user the complexity, dependencies and if there are any possible issues prior to migration that they should be aware of.
Richfaces UI: We have moved the UI from Icefaces to Richfaces which allows us a lot richer UI and features. Richfaces also allows users to now use the visual editor to see the generated jspx files and edit the screens and layouts from within the IDE.
CSS, Menu: We also provide a default menu workspace with default Richfaces CSS that users can opt and change themes of their choice.
