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.
- 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:
> 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.
