What is the best way to migrate from forms to ADF?

We are in a big mess. Our company has been developing Oracle Forms for more than 15 years. We have applications developed in Forms 6i and 10 g. We have about 5 products and these 5 products have different versions of 25 to 30. that is, we maintain about 30 different versions of our applications. Each version of the application has about 100 forms and 100 States.

Now, given that the forms came at the end of life of 11 g we want to pass to the ADF. We tried forms of ADF migration tools but failed. So now, we decided to manually to rewrite applications in the ADF.

Our forms / PL/SQL developers, designers and analysts (about 40 in total) are all people of Oracle Forms. They have no experience in Java.

What I want to know is:
(1) what is the BEST way to do this?
(2) need to learn Java, JSF, and ADF? (i.e. every 3)?
(3) it is mandatory to learn JSF?
(4) assuming that may benefit from a full training, how much time will it take for people of forms learn the ADF?
(5) what kind of training will be necessary? (Java, JSF, ADF and JDeveloper etc..)
(6) how LONG will take? that is to train all 40, then to rewrite an application forms 100 + 100 + reports? (Ballpark is OK).
(7) any other technology we should learn?

Obvoiusly liked you training the better, but I think the minimum would

(1) Java skills - I think to start, 1 or two days read some thing like head first Java http://www.amazon.com/Head-First-Java-Kathy-Sierra/dp/0596009208
(2) I would then get the http://www.amazon.com/Quick-Start-Oracle-Fusion-Development/dp/0071744282/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1343201618&sr=1-1&keywords=jdeveloper+quick of "The Quick Start Guide to Fusion Development" (declaration: I am the author so have an interest, but I still think it's a good point of departure - this should be about 2-3 days to read and also to try things.)
(3) in parallel I would observe these http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/adfinsider-093342.html#a1 ADF Insider Basics - a few hours
(4) I'd so try this tutorial http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/jdev/obe11jdev/ps1/ria_application/developriaapplication_long.htm - 3 hours.
(5) if necessary, if you come from a background of forms I would also read http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/SummitADF/SummitADF_Redevelopment.pdf and watch http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/Forms_Redevelopment_ADF/Forms_Redevelopment_ADF.html - which is about 2 hours of work.

I think it would be the absolute MINIMUM at least be able to build basic applications and begin to feel your way all also described in the http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/ADFTour/ADFTour.html 'ADF COLLATERAL TOUR' could be shot as you start to build a proof of concept. However, I would say don't you try to build a real application with a single exposure of weeks (in the same way, I don't expect you to design a database of product with the formation of a week only). I would probably expect your developers to have at least the above training, then spend a month or so evidence of (minimum) building of the concepts (or test themselves with the ADF Insider Essentials tasks). In addition, I would probably expect to have at least a senior developer/architect, with much more experience that may be decisions on things like reuse, partitioning, architecture, etc..

Of course, it's all subjective, but I hope it helps.

PS
Of course, we also have lectures for university training Oracle which you could attend (or they can be bought to watch online).

    This is a very common and classic situation:

    http://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/KB/backup-restore-move-catalog-Photoshop.html

    Just make sure that your backup on the external drive is ok: you should find a "backup.tly" file in the folder.

    Use the organizer of PSE11 to restore the backup of the PSE7: the first step restores all your multimedia files, the second automatically performs a conversion of catalogue in format PSE11.

    Read the note in the link above on the restoration of XP to the ulterior Win operating system. You can also restore to a location 'custom '. For example in a "C:\My new library" folder. Make sure the main folder is accessible to all users, and if you wish, you can move the catalog (database), itself from this location to the default location: Catalog Manager, ability to move catalogs in location that is accessible to all users.

    If you have a form on the detailed view of the web application, and you fill in the fields, lets say 'product name' with the actual tag name as the value of the entry. So who will automatically fill.

  • What is the best way to stream from one Panel to the next?

    I am writing a LabVIEW application that uses two monitors of different sizes on the same computer. I have to listen to four data channels of 100 Hz for a main VI to its front panel as a second front on another monitor.

    My options:

    1. the easiest way would be to call the second front panel as a Subvi, but I'm not like that because as a Subvi the user did not click the buttons or have any input.

    2 another way would be to use a queue of LabVIEW for transmitting data of the main VI to the Subvi; in this way the two panels could have their own loop of the user interface.

    3. is there a better way?

    It depends on your data, but I recommend the queues or user events to send your data on another the VI.

    If it is only the data (not apps) I use Dropbox. It turned out to be the best way to move things between the side Mac and the bootcamped Windows of my iMac side. I don't see why it would not work to move data from a virtual machine installation of Win to a BootCamp installation.

  • Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

    Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

    I'm going to assume that you plan to have wireless devices.

    Let's say that the Capsule is your "main" router  If this is the case, then it must be located in the House, so that the distance between the time Capsule is the same for the outside walls of the House.

    Then, on the 'left' side of the House, looking for an airport to midway between the Capsule and time of the outer wall of the House. Do the same thing the 'right' side of the House.

    In other words, each of the two airports that "extend" the wireless signal are located at equal distance from the Capsule of time... but they are in opposite ends of the House.

    If you intend to interconnect all the airports and Time Capsule using a permanent, Ethernet wired... which by far is the 'best' way to put in place a network in terms of performance and reliability... then you can locate one of the devices anywhere you want.

    To send your messages with attachments to your friend.  He can then save attachments on his PC.  He will need an application that can handle files of ".wps", although, like the work of processing or Office Word (or WordPerfect, if that's what you used to create them).

    What is the best way to transfer pictures from an old computer to a flash drive or a drive back then to a new computer?

    The easiest and most reliable I've found is to make the direct drag-and-drop method.

    (1) on the old computer, open your Windows Explorer and go to your photos.

    (2) open another Windows Explorer window and access your 'Computer' folder and in your flash drive

    (3) drag the photos to the flash drive.

    (4) take the flash drive on the new computer and drag them into your images folder

    Should I delete the page and then add URL redirect via the module to redirect BC a relevant page.

    or

    Redirect via the page is there if you want to keep the page for any reason content wise, etc. in the admin. Web site wise is no different. A 301 redirect is a redirect 301 Grant, there is no difference.
