To create the Migration Project in APEX, convert your Forms files to XML using the Forms2XML Conversion Tool. This tool was introduced in Oracle9i Oracle Developer Suite and produces an XML file that has the same base name as the Forms file with an .xml extension. The extension _fmb, _mmb, or _olb is added to the base file name to indicate whether the original file was a Forms Modules, a MenuModule, or an Object Library.
Converting the files
There are two ways to convert your Forms file to XML:
The forms used in this example are:
File name before conversion | File name after conversion |
---|---|
customers.fmb | customers_fmb.xml |
orders.fmb | orders_fmb.xml |
