Retire Oracle Designer development and continue with just using Forms 11

Hi,
The company I am working for is taking over responsibility for an Oracle Designer 10 application.
Due to Oracle Designer is an outdated development environment we are looking for potential solutions how to get rid of Designer without completely redeveloping or replacing the application.
One options we thought about is to switch off Designer and only continuing to use Oracle Forms 11.
Do anyone of you have experience in this area which you would like to share?
Best regards,
Marco

There are a lot of case generated (CG$) trigger and procedures used in the Forms. For us the code seems to be very complex and hard to read.
But, also some of them seems to be never used or it is just the statement "null" in it.
We thought about SQL Developer Data Modeler to capture most of the Designer stuff. But still there is the technical documentation that is not fully supported by SDDM. Did anyone migrate these Designer documentation to an other tool? If yes, to which one and how? We tried the SDDM Report functionality to capture some of the documentation, but also these reports do not contain everything that Designer could provide.
There are also "Preference Sets" used in Designer and we are wondering how to migrate these to Forms Builder. Did anyone migrate these preference sets to Forms Builder in the past and has some experiences/examples/recommendations about that? We thought about one "global" form that could contain these preference sets and then inherit them.
There are also the Functional Hirarchie Diagrams in Designer, could they migrated to Forms or SDDM in any way? Or do we need to maintain these diagrams manually in a tool like Word or Visio?
If we could capture all the things mentioned above, we would like to continue just with Oracle Forms Builder 11gR2 in combination with other tools like SQL Developer and Data Modeler and if no other solution could be find out with some manual maintained documents.
For all recommendations and tips we are very interested and we would thank you all very much!

    -Now the link that i got after finish install database is https://Ahmed-HP:1158/em so i have question about this point Hostname and port if the link to access database is this https://Ahmed-HP:1158/em so this mean i typing at Hostname:localhost and port:1158 ?
    because the message when i test connection always is filed and I'm sure i typing username and password and SID:orcl as i set when install database.port 1158 is what the dbcontrol (Oracle Enterprise Manager) is listening on. OEM is NOT the database. As far as the database is concerned, OEM is "just another client".
    Actually, the database doesn't listen for requests on any port. There is another process, the "listener" that listens for requests to connect to the database. Typically, it listens on port 1521. You should have a tnsnames.ora file set up to resolve a connection request to the correct host. You can read more on this at http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/02/09/sqlnet_overview/

  • Place Call and continue with remaining script steps - is it possible?

    We recently picked up IPCelerate which has the ability to send a Text display or Text-to-Speech message to a group of phones simply by dialing a configured directory number.  We would like to text our call center agents with this application when a caller has been waiting for X number of loops.
    Attempting to use 'Place Call' to initiate this text page works, however, the script terminates immediately after the call is placed and we would like to continue on with the remainder of our script.  In this case, on Success go back to the top of the loop.   
    I have also tried to use Call Subflow instead, thinking an executed sub-routine placing the call would return to the original script and continue on, but it didn't.  In both cases, the system comes back and states " I'm sorry, we're currently experiencing system problems and are unable to process your call.  Please try again later."
    If there's a way to get this to work via Place Call or another process to accomplish the same result, that would be fantastic.  I appreciate any feedback.
    We're using UCCx Express 5.0 (2.064) with premium type licensing.

    Hello,
    I did get to an answer similar to what r.stockton did to solve the issue, but I left Exception (ContactInactiveException) Goto in ours to isolate exceptions because we have multiple contacts within our script.  Turns out that this particular exception was thrown by the PlaceCall step ending abruptly by our paging system answering and hanging up the call quickly.  MIVR logs showed that it didn't bomb as immediately as when the debugs showed it crashing - it actually went into a loop over and over with the Trigger contact before failing.
    We had some help from TAC on this, but below is what we did to keep some error checking and notification we use available to us.  We are running a check to make sure the Call Trigger (original call) is still active.
    placecallContact = Place Call (to Number)
    on Exception (ContactInactiveException) Goto
    label:
    CallActive = Get Contact Info (--Trigering Contact--, Active)
    If (CallActive) Then
    - True branch continues with script
    - False Branch terminates call
    If this takes the false branch, it means the trigger contact is not active, and has abandoned the call or been transferred elsewhere.  Placed an End step here to prevent any loops.
    If this takes the true branch, it means the triggering contact is actually still active. In our scenario, CallActive (boolean variable) is verified true and continues with the script without going into the loop of death.
    I hope this helps!

  • To save time, could I get away with just using ProRes Proxy?

    Might be a dumb question.  But please play along with me...
    I've been battling with FCP-X since it first came out.  Beach balls, crashes, failed auto saves, you name it.  Sluggishness is my middle name.  But I think it might be because I'm trying to force too much quality through my older, less powerful machines and my little firewire 400 hard drive.  All three of my Mac are 3-4 years old, all are from the old "Core 2 Duo" era (not quad core processors), and are all maxed out at 4GB of RAM.  While I've read that many people are having performance problems with FCP-X even on brand spankin' new suped-up Mac Pros with lots more horsepower than I'm running, I've long thought that my machines and their lack of power by today's standards may be at the heart of my sluggishness problem, especially given that most of the material I work with is shot in 1080 HD.  (I've never actually tested it in FCP-X, but I'm assuming that things would speed along more like I've been used to in the past if I would just do everything in Standard Definition 480, but that ain't gonna happen.)
    Like many, I shoot most everything in 1080 HD (usually 24p, sometimes 30), unless I'm occasionally shooting 720 HD at 60i for later slowing down to slo-mo.
    Here's my question:  Most everything I edit is for web delivery, and 99 percent of it is for my own use (not clients).  Mostly podcast-like stuff, although occasionally I'll create something for my business website.  Most of what I do is talking head type stuff, not a lot of motion (except for the 720/60i slo-mo stuff, which usually has some motion, which is why I shoot it at 60i for slowing down).  Most of what I shoot is green screen talking heads, intended to be keyed in front of some innocuous background like some of the generators in FCP-X.  I want it to look good.  Even great.  But given the limitations of power on my machines, I also don't want to invest an eternity in rendering and processing time.  The work I'm doing with video just isn't that important.  It's mostly for grins.
    Until last night, I had been working exclusively in ProRes422 (aka "Optimized").  But last night I shot some footage and imported it into FCP-X, encoding it ONLY in ProRes Proxy.  And frankly, I couldn't discern any difference.  It looked every bit as good as the 422 stuff I'd shot before.  There was absolutely no difference to my naked eye.  That said, the footage I shot last night to test this out was not shot in front of the green screen (I'll test that out today or tonight), so maybe the Proxy footage won't key as well.  (I've been stunned at how good the keyer is in FCP-X, but up to this point I've only been keying ProRes422 footage, not Proxy.)  But really, based on just eyeballing the footage, I couldn't tell the difference between the Proxy footage and all the other footage I'd shot previously that had been imported and converted to "Optimized" ProRes422.
    I'm not looking to deliver anything for broadcast television (if I were, I'd for sure use 422).  I'm not doing any feature film type stuff.  My video work consists mainly of stuff just for me, for my own personal amusement (and for the amusement of anyone who might watch it on the web).  It's intended for YouTube, Vimeo, or occasionally (in smaller dimensions than 1920x1080) for deployment on my company website.  Mostly, it's just me doing podcast-type stuff.  Occasionally I'll shoot and edit something for church, or for friends.  I like to think the production values of my stuff tend to be higher than, say, the footage Aunt Delores shot at Uncle Ralph's birthday party (okay, A LOT higher than that!).  But my stuff isn't going to air on "Good Morning Flatbush" either (unless, on the off chance it should happen to go viral).
    So let me make my question as clear as possible:  Could I not get away with just using ProRes Proxy throughout my entire work flow, end to end, never switching over to ProRes 422 even when exporting?  Honestly, it has taken hours just to render the keyed green screen footage on a 15 minute video, and just the other night, it took the better part of 4 hours (after it was already rendered) to export a 15 minute ProRes422 sequence to YouTube (and then the darn thing timed out, essentially wasting all my time).  I'd rather just stay in Proxy the whole way through if doing so would streamline my workflow without compromising too much quality in the "look" of the video.  Based on my very limited use of Proxy (just testing it out last night for the first time), I couldn't tell the difference.  Maybe for web deployment, Proxy is all I really need.
    Have any of you just stayed in Proxy the whole way through, never switching to 422 even when exporting?  Might this be an acceptable work flow for some of us, especially those of us on older, less powerful machines?  Is this a viable solution?  Do any of you work this way?  What's your level of satisfaction?
    Thoughts?

    A lot of what I'm shooting is being shot on a Canon XA-10.  Some (and certainly all of the 720 footage, but some of the 1080) is shot on a 7D.  And still more is shot on either an iPhone 4S, or even on a Flip Ultra (720p, 30fps).
    Most is shot on the XA-10.
    What I'm trying to avoid is the excessive render times (doesn't the ProRes 422 footage have to render as well?), and the ridiculously long times it takes to export.  Would all that not be reduced significantly by sticking to Proxy the whole way?  And what would the trade-off be?  I mean, I honestly can't see any discernible difference.  Maybe I will when I try to pull a decent key.  (Haven't gotten that far yet in my Proxy experimentation.)
    Of course, editing in Proxy and outputting using 422 requires that FCP-X encode to BOTH when importing, right?  Doesn't that add yet another bit of time to the overall process?
    I'm trying to streamline, and to reduce the overall amount of time I'm spending doing this stuff.

  • Develope a report with out using alv

    REPORT OBJECT:
          The report to list the material quantities returned because of breakage or expiry date or for any other reason.for material the quantities are summed up
    under expiry quantity ,breakage  and other quantity for a particular month.
           above mentioned is the object of my report .
          please help me any one to develop the report with out using   ALV'S.

    Hello Pravardhan
    Your requirements are definitely demanding for an ALV list because all the calculations can be done by the user himself without any programming. The only thing you need to do is to collect all necessary data. In addition, all criteria for calculating subtotals/totals (e.g. month) must be available as separate column on the ALV list.
    This is reasonable programming, anything else not. If the users have an ALV list they can easily adjust the layout to their specific needs without calling for a developer.
    We should always develop our programs with a <b>strong focus on the user's perspective</b>.

  • Can I make a website with just using Photoshop and Flash together?

    I am new to web design and am working on a website. I have not purchased dreamweaver, but am familiar with it from school. I do have Adobe Flash and Photoshop extended. Can I just use the two programs Adobe Flash, and Photoshop extended to complete a website without having Dreamweaver or do I need Dreamweaver to make it work? Thank you for your responses.

    You can import photoshop files into a flash project and build a website that way.  Both Catalyst and Flash can output the markup necessary to make your flash website usable.  As a developer though I try to steer people away from entire flash websites since they wont be usable on Apple Mobile and Tablet Devices.  Youll need to read up on optimizing a flash sites SEO, this can only partially be done through flash.  A text editer may be required to create additional files for your website.  Good Luck!

  • Oracle Designer support and future

    Hello, I would like to know about the future of Oracle Designer.
    As this is no longer part of 11g Developer suite, does this mean that we should start phasing out the use of Designer and switch to lesser tools such as SQL-Developers Data-Modeller?

    Is there any interface prepared that would integrate data modelling, process modelling, workflow modelling ( BPEL&BPMN ) and generation of forms, stubs of batch procedures ( like XML processing ) ?
    Seems today is challenge that business automatisation problems are no more so homogenous:
    1. in system analisys
        OLTP operational part of IT architecture is more tied to Data analytics
        So during re-engeering of present OLTP system and integration of some modules on core ERP or other OLTP modules there is always
        consideration how such data will end in accounting and data aggregattion schemes.
    2. changes are more granular
        Strong core system and then changes and integration problems...
    It seems Designer was too "fat" and complex tools. But there is still challenge how to integrate data modelling with process flow, workflow and controls.
    Also business rules dictionary is challenge ?
    Where data dictionaries for business rules so that controle process of implementing is managed.
    For example where to generate business rule code or controle: on data model through constraints and relational model rules, or database server code ( triggers, validating procedures ) or program server code or thin client code ?
