Oracle Forms New Feature Ideas

SFrix

Hello,

By diff I meant to be able to identify the changes between two versions of a module (fmb, pll, mmb). Not only the property or specific triggers. It is for the entire module; like ORCL Forms API Master tool do.

With this tool we are able to find the items created or deleted or changed between the two versions; also which code of triggers have changed, trigger added or removed, ...

Although I agree that the system requirements could/should be handled by the installer, we can't do it in most cases because some packages have unique licensing and terms of use that you are expected to read before installing them.  If the installer installed them we would have to take ownership of ensuring you are notified of each license for each package or actually ship each package's license.  Since every machine is different, your actual needs may differ from the next organization.

That said, I do plan to work with our Release and Install team to see if we can do a better job of testing the system before performing the installation.  Meaning, the installer should warn of what may be missing before it continues.

Better formatting for the triggers and plsql code. A code formatter is very important.

WHAT VALUE WOULD THIS ADD TO APPLICATIONS OR THE PRODUCT

Right now everyone in my team writes the code in forms builder and once completed copies to Toad or sql developer and formats there and then copies back.
