The main points we dealt with are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>AIX file transfert and compile processes<\/li>\n<li>LOV visual appearance (differences between 6 and 10g)<\/li>\n<li>Report rdf structure search in a batch mode from a keyword-based file<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more-->There is an outstanding point that I will be dealing with this coming week. Basically, our users are trained to submit reports thru submission screens. On those, we have on the forms 6 version, options for screen and print outputs. The print option will send the report straight to the local or network printer for that specific user while the screen option will first show a preview (can also be a pdf) before the user opts either for a printout or one of the options available to her\/him.<\/p>\n<p>However, on oracle forms 10g, reports are processed thru the application server report server. So,our developers thought about having only a preview version as PDF sent to the user&#8217;s screen. One of our top guys suggested whether we can redirect the report server output straight to the user&#8217;s local printer (or the network one) without first displaying a preview.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming weeks, we will be going thru testing\u00a0 the sub-applications from the functional point of\u00a0 view. As far as the visual appearance is concerned, the testers came out with a number of points. I will be updating MouliForms so that these concerns are rolled out across the application in a straightforward manner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here we are at the end of the second week in the migration of a mission-critical Oracle Forms 6 application.
