AK Regions, Jdeveloper, Oracle Apps 11.5.10

Question

As soon as my client's Oracle Applications instance will be migrated to 11.5.10 release I will be faced with porting of customs.
In particular in the OA release as is actually (11.5.7) the custom we have developed is made up using BC4J and AK region's form.
The migration will bring us to the last up-to-date patchset 11.5.10 + CU2 (Consolidated Upgrade) with the consequence of moving (.. I guess..) our custom date from AK repository to MDS repository.
Now the questions are:
1) Which Jdev release should I use to maintain my custom in the new OA release?
2) because of AK to MDS migration, Should I rewrite/deploy my custom from the beginning?
3) Could someone suggest me where to find out documentation? ( in the metalink Portal there are plenty of technical paper but a lot of notices that are unused for my project too)
Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

Hi Tapash,
to explain my doubts let me list down few steps on how my custom is implemented.
1) I set up any AK regions/nested regions and AK items included
2) I deployed JSP in an APPS_bis.zip which is apps.zip like file in iAS server
3) The files included in APPS_bis.zip are xml files and .class files used as AM modules or Controller modules for each AK region.
4) the custom web pages are assigned to responsibilities after having set-up menus and functions
5) For the AOL functions setup, in particular, I declared the AK region in the explicit way in the parameter form field.
Here is the question:
Applying the proper patchset I'll move all my custom AK region in the MDS repository but...
a) Are My AM modules and my Control classes going to function properly, or will I have to re-implement the custom in different way? (see point (3))
b) Taking in consideration the point (5) should I continue declaring the old AK "custom" regions in the AOL functions definition?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation
