Converting Forms 6iFMTs to Oracle Forms FMBs

Because some properties are obsolete in Oracle Forms, you cannot directly convert Forms 6iFMTs andMMTs to Oracle Forms FMBs and MMBs using Forms Developer.

3.1Converting a Forms 6iFMT to an Oracle Forms FMB

To convert a Forms 6iFMT or MMT to an Oracle Forms 11gFMB or MMB, do the following:

1. Use the Forms 6iBuilder or Compiler to convert the Forms 6iFMT or MMT to a Forms 6iFMB or MMB.

2. Then, use Forms Developer to convert the Forms 6iFMB or MMB to an Oracle Forms FMB or MMB. Open the Forms 6i source files in the Oracle Forms Builder, save them, then recompile them; or use the Oracle Forms Compiler.
