How does it work?

The automated forms converter is a key component of the modernization service. It transforms the Oracle Forms application into Ext JS application source files in minutes. The converter transforms the form into XML and interprets it to build all of the elements required for the web application including live data grids, buttons and handler code, forms with inputs, radio buttons, checkboxes and date pickers, and the supporting business logic. It features a powerful javascript grid library. The converter can also generate data models and Oracle PL/SQL code to perform data queries, inserts, and updates on the database.

Once the forms have been converted, Sencha Professional Services customizes the visual elements of the application to fit any specified design requirements. Sophisticated UI components can also be added to the application to help visualize and analyze complex data sets. The application is delivered with complete source code, ensuring that developers can update and maintain the application over time. Developers may leverage other Sencha technologies to improve productivity, including IDE plugins and the Sencha Inspector application debugger.

Using our integration with Oracle Mobile Cloud Service, the newly modernized application can utilize sophisticated back-end mobile cloud services including enterprise security, push notifications, authentication, data storage, diagnostics, and analytics. You can also choose to leverage existing back-end technology.
