Convert Forms binary files to XML

 

To analyze Oracle Forms in the Kiuwan Solution, your Forms binary files (*.fmb) must be converted to XML format.

The Oracle conversion tool is bundled with the Oracle Developer Suite. You can download the latest version from the Oracle Website.

  1.  to convert the *.fmb files to XML format.

 

If you have experience with the Apache ant tool, you can use the %kiuwanlocalanalyzer%/bin/oracleforms_convert.xml ant script:

Code Block
> cd <kiuwanlocalanalyzer_install_dir>/bin
> ant -f oracleforms_convert.xml -DDEVSUITE=<OracleDevSuite_install_dir> -Dpath=<your_forms_source_dir>
 

Analyze the converted XML files

The converted XML files are left in the same directory as the original form files.

Use this directory as the input directory for the Kiuwan Local Analyzer.

Note that the default Kiuwan extension for Oracle Forms files is “oforms”. For this reason, you should rename the xml files, replacing “xml” with “oforms” or adding the “oforms” extension.

If you prefer to analyze in the cloud, you can create a

zip

ZIP archive with the generated XML files to upload to Kiuwan, but keep in mind you need to rename or add the “oforms” extension to those files before creating the ZIP file.
