Oracle Forms to Oracle Application Express Conversion (APEX) Workshop
Duration: 1 Day
This class will teach you how to convert Oracle Forms (Forms) applications to Oracle Application Express (APEX) applications. Students will learn about the entire conversion process, from planning to deployment, as they work on a simulated conversion project from beginning to end.
The Forms conversion utility, built into APEX since version 3.2, will be used throughout the conversion process. However, many tasks involved in a conversion project will be done outside of the utility. Learning to identify and complete these tasks is very important objective of this class. Hands-on workshops will constitute a large majority of the class time – approximately 70%.
As with all of our courses, this class can be highly customized to meet your specific training requirements when held for a private group.
