How to analyze Oracle Forms with Kiuwan Local Analyzer (KLA)

Convert Form binary files to XML

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

Install the Oracle Developer Suite, which includes the Oracle conversion tool.
Follow the steps described in the Oracle documentation 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>

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.

If you prefer to analyze in the cloud, you can create a zip archive with the generated XML files to upload to Kiuwan.
