Hi all,
We're currently using Designer 10.1.2.6 plus Headstart to maintain and develop legacy applications running Forms and Reports 11gR1 in Oracle databases 11gR2.
As Designer is desupported and no longer maintained, and so is Headstart, we are looking for replacing tools and evaluating the efforts and costs of various migration paths to newer development tools.
Do you have experiences from a corresponding migration project? What would your recommendations be (the short version)?
The scenario is
- the database will be upgraded to release 12c
- Forms will be maintained and upgraded to 11gR2 (or 12)
- need to migrate/convert the current application model including the rules and framework set by Headstart to be compatible with DB 12c, Forms 11gR2
- requirement for data modelling and versioning management
Your opinions would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance.
