5. A powerful Object Oriented Programming language The "most open" product that is available, conforming both to its own standardized (and published) specifications as well as with other industry standards such as CORBA JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) provides a standardized interface for Relational databases for Java, providing a greater level of database independence and portability Can eliminate costs/support of proprietary licensing Platform & Database independence The Business Reasons - Why Convert to Java?

6. The Business Reasons - Why is Java superior? Java is currently the only technology that provides a fully interactive, GUI interface for the Web The Java architecture was designed with security in mind, and not as an afterthought. This provides a simplified and consistent means of protecting your assets. Java provides features that make programming easier as well as more powerful multi-threading capabilities automatic "garbage collection" (for efficient use of memory) standardized error trapping and detection distributed processing capabilities

7. Oracle’s Strategic Direction CipherSoft is a Global Oracle Migration Partner – sharing Oracle's vision for an integrated, complete and standard development environment CipherSoft and Oracle believe strongly, and have invested heavily, in the combination of Java, SQL, and XML Reference Sites: CipherSoft is listed in the whitepaper Migrating Oracle Forms to J2EE: http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/htdocs/FormsJavaSOD.html http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/htdocs/FormsJavaSOD.html CipherSoft is selected as Migration Partners for the Oracle JDeveloper partner initiative: http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/htdocs/partners/content.html http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/htdocs/partners/content.html

8. Rewrite Application –Programmers often want to throw away code and start over. Why? The cardinal fundamental law of programming: “ It ’ s harder to read code than to write it ”. –Programmers tend to write their own functions because it's easier and more fun than figuring out how the old function works. However, old code has been used, tested, and bugs have been found and fixed Web-enable Forms –Easy - No change to development style –Not a “ real ” migration Manual conversion –Time consuming, design own architecture from scratch, human error issues, lack of resources or skill set, disruptions to business operations, escalating costs Automatic conversion –Trusted architecture, cost efficient, less time intensive, manages risks, less errors, much faster Migration Options

9. Fully maintainable Portable Contains no wrappers All semantic contents converted Flexible deployment Very little impact on business operations Goals for Automatic Conversion

10. Integration option - to integrate with Oracle’s 9iAS development environment including: –Full integration with JDeveloper –Utilization of Oracle’s UIX and BC4J environment –Assists in moving applications from Release 3.0 and later releases into the 9iAS environment –Provides efficient way to get Forms, Libraries, and Procedures into 9iAS environment Goals for Automatic Conversion

11. Migrates Oracle Forms and PL/SQL applications to Java, J2EE, XML and HTML 90% faster than manual migration 80% cost reduction for the client Tool is available for purchase or conversion service Migrates PL/SQL packages and libraries to EJBs and can be deployed on any standard web servers Supports JSP files, enabling the development of dynamic Web sites About Exodus

12. N-Tier Architecture J2EE Compliant XML Driven Generic GUI Generation Provides clients with the option to integrate with JDeveloper or become database independent Conversion Objectives

22. To ensure that the migration is being converted to a true Java or J2EE environment, you should ask the following questions: Is my application being converted to truly compliant J2EE code? Are we able to purchase the tool, or is this a service offering only? Where is my conversion to be performed (on-site or at the client's site)? Are we able to discontinue licensing of Oracle Forms and PL/SQL or do I still have to license these products? Important Migration Questions

23. Is the vendor offering the product or service available to assist with any issues and training once we migrate to Java? What percentage of conversion is automatic (how much manual work is involved once it is converted)? Is the J2EE code "clean", i.e., is it easily maintainable once I get into the Java environment? Does the converted code integrate with JDeveloper and utilize the UIX and BC4J environment from Oracle? Does the converted code allow you to become database independent? Important Migration Questions
