Summary: This section describes how to prepare and deliver the source code of your Oracle Forms and Reports application.

Preparation - source code discovery

Discovery is a process that is actioned during the delivery process CAST will attempt to automatically identify "projects" within your application using a set of predefined rules. Discoverers are currently embedded in CAST AIP Core:

You should read the relevant documentation for each discoverer (provided in the link above) to understand how the source code will be handled.

Using CAST Imaging Console

Console expects either a ZIP/archive file or source code located in a folder configured in AIP Console. You should include in the ZIP/source code folder all the output from the CAST Oracle Forms Extractor and any Oracle Reports files:

  • .uaxDirectory
  • .uax
  • .src
  • .rex

CAST highly recommends placing the files in a folder dedicated to Oracle Forms/Reports. If you are using a ZIP/archive file, zip the folders in the "temp" folder - but do not zip the "temp" folder itself, nor create any intermediary folders:

D:\temp
	|-----OracleFormsReports
	|-----OtherTechno1
	|-----OtherTechno2
