Webinar Abstract

Can an Oracle Forms application be easily migrated to Oracle APEX? How can Oracle Forms applications benefit from Oracle APEX? How could a project to replace Oracle Forms with Oracle APEX be set up, and what points need to be considered?

These and other questions are addressed during this presentation. In a brief introduction to Oracle APEX, we focus on the architecture as well as the similarities and differences between Oracle Forms and Oracle APEX.

Practical examples show how Oracle Forms applications can be supplemented by Oracle APEX to meet new business needs. We also discuss our approach, the challenges we encountered, and our experience with migration projects from Oracle Forms to Oracle APEX, illustrated with project examples.

Speaker: Mark Eichhorst
