The Semi-Automated ORMIT™-Java/ADF migration tool from Renaps provides a cost-effective and effcient way to migrate existing Oracle® Forms applications to Oracle®-ADF.
Oracle® ADF is an end-to-end Java EE framework that simplifies application development by providing out of the box infrastructure services and a visual and declarative development experience.

We offer a comprehensive Oracle® Forms to Oracle® ADF conversion services package. These services are based upon a highly technical talented team of Renaps’ software engineers and our internally built tool sets which allow us to modernize and restructure any Oracle® Forms application and convert into Oracle® ADF/BC4J, both effectively and efficiently. It is our primary goal to deliver back to our customers, a clean set of ADF and Java code, which can be ultimately expanded on and supported by the end client himself. We do not use or apply any proprietary libraries or code sets within our conversion process. Our deliverables to you are pure Oracle® ADF 11g.
Our approach to these specific conversions is to first understand and review a customer’s complete application and database infrastructure, identifying and breaking down all of the necessary technical components, UI layouts and business/transactional flows that must be addressed in the conversion process. Once completed, we overlay and map these results against our conversion matrix and tool sets to determine the overall extent of the migration process at hand. One of our main goals during this initial phase is to address the complexity and types of Oracle® triggers that are inherent in the customer’s application. As ADF itself does not mirror the Forms’ triggering platform per say, we summarize and scrutinize this area in detail and try to determine how we can incorporate Javascript into our ADF code base to as to duplicate various sets of Oracle® triggering mechanisms. Our strategic use of ADF taskflows also assists us in this area due its flexible and controllable framework, and at the end of our analysis phase, we indicate up front to our customers, what potential triggers will not be able to be converted and thus require a potential new business process to be defined within the application flow. As well, all complex PL/SQL business logic is converted into native Java; we do not replace these code segments with stored procedure or function calls.
Renaps has chosen not to emulate its competitors by simply not offering a fully automated conversion tool approach to the marketplace. Typical conversion tools do not produce output that can be readily understood by developers and support personnel and never creates full proof and completely workable code,i.e. conversion tool output must be heavily modified afterwards to satisfy full application functionality, and changes to conversion tool output must follow the patterns and standards of the given vendor.
All fully automated migration tools suffer from the same problematic, their input being Oracle® Forms objects, the output inevitably becomes Oracle Forms oriented – Instead, Renaps ensures that the Oracle®ADF code is 100% compliant to Oracle®ADF best practices.
We therefore believe wholeheartedly that our approach offers a more holistic and strategic approach to our customers.
In summary Renaps has both the experience and expertise to be known as the overall leader in Oracle® Forms to Oracle® ADF conversions. It is our intention to both provide our customers with qualitative and optimal quantitative solutions, stellar consulting services, and upmost, strategic knowledge transfer to our end customers which is inherent to our overall process.
