The most common questions
Will I be tied to ReForms21 proprietary technology after migration (Vendor Lock-in)?
This is one of our greatest advantages: Zero Vendor Lock-in. We deliver Java/Spring Boot and React/Vaadin code. Once the project is complete, your system is independent—you can develop it yourself or with any Java / React partner on the market. You are not tied to proprietary technology, as the migration process is a one-time event that results in Java source code owned entirely by you. While the system utilizes a “runtime” library to maintain structural similarity to Oracle Forms & Reports for easier development, the license for this library is perpetual and requires only a one-time fee. To ensure transparency and business continuity, ReForms21 offers source code inspection and an escrow program. This allows you the flexibility to develop within the Re_Forms21 framework or transition to other Java-based (backend) / WebComponent-based (frontend) technologies. Similarly to other frameworks like Vaadin, Spring or React, maintenance and evolution of Re_Forms21 libraries is most effective if done by experts in the field.

What materials do I need to provide for an initial estimate?
For the initial analysis, we only require your application source files numbers (.fmb, .mmb, .pll, .olb) and version of Oracle Forms & Reports system. You will get your budgetary quote within 24 hours.
How will the migration affect my Oracle Database?
Your Oracle Database remains intact. We migrate the application layer (UI and Forms logic), but the system continues to use your proven database, minimizing the risk of data integrity loss.
What guarantees do I have that the system will work identically after migration?
Through automation and our automated testing support, we eliminate human error. We guarantee logic fidelity—every business function will return the same results as in the old system.
Will the Java / React system be as fast as the native Oracle Forms & Reports system?
By optimizing the communication layer and using modern UI frameworks (like React) we provide a highly performant system. Users often experience a significant improvement in responsiveness. We replace the heavy “Forms Applet” with a standard-based, lightweight, real-time communication layer, reducing network and server load.

Do we have to migrate the entire system at once (Big Bang)?
You can do it with our automated technology but we recommend an iterative approach. Thanks to our technology legacy and migrated systems can coexist without any risk. We can divide the system into logical, easiest to onboard modules and migrate them in stages. This ensures full business continuity and allows your team to keep control of each phase of migration.
What is a "PoC," and why is it critical?
It is a “Proof of Concept” performed on your most complex business scenario. Before you sign a full-scale migration, we give you upfront a full 100% guarantee of success of your own system running in open modern Java / React technology. On top of that you will get fully migrated 1:1 your Oracle Forms & Reports original code as you created it from the very beginning.

3 questions
Technology & Quality
Is Oracle Forms & Reports to Java conversion automated, or does someone rewrite the code by hand?
Absolutely not. Manual rewriting is like “open-heart surgery” with a high risk of error. We use a fully automated deterministic one, which automatically transforms your Oracle Forms & Reports logic into clean, scalable Java / React code. Integration patterns outside of Oracle Forms & Reports framework may require customized adaptation which is fully embedded within the migration automation allowing for repeated, deterministic remigrations of the whole code-base.
How do you handle complex business logic within triggers?
Our tools don’t just translate syntax; they recreate the Oracle Forms & Reports event structure. Thanks to our deterministic AI technology, we preserve the precise execution order of triggers, guaranteeing 100% fidelity of your business logic.
What happens to the precision of financial calculations when moving to Java/React?
In financial systems, there is no room for rounding errors. We automatically map Oracle NUMBER types to the BigDecimal class in Java. This eliminates the risk of calculation errors that often occur during manual migrations.
4 questions
Business & Risk
How will the migration affect my Oracle Database?
Your Oracle Database remains intact. We migrate the application layer (UI and Forms logic), but the system continues to use your proven database, minimizing the risk of data integrity loss.
How long does a typical modernization project take?
Duration depends on the number of modules, complexity of integration patterns and amount of time required to retest the system after migration. Thanks to automation, our projects are on average 70% faster than traditional manual rewrites. We provide a precise schedule after the audit phase.
Will my PL/SQL developers be able to work with the new system?
Yes. During the “Knowledge Transfer” phase, we train your team. Since the logic structure in Java/ React mirrors the one in Forms, your domain experts will quickly understand the new code despite the change in programming language. We provide a modern, customized IDE to streamline their experience and maximize their effectiveness.
What about external integrations (Authentication, Excel, Hardware, APIs)?
During the audit, we identify all integration points. Elements like OLE2 or WebUtil are replaced with modern, native Java solutions that are more secure and better supported by current web browsers.

AI & Future-Proofing
Why can't I just use ChatGPT to migrate my system?
General-purpose AI lacks access to Oracle Forms & Reports training data (which is locked in .fmb binaries). AI often “hallucinates” logic, which is unacceptable in banking or logistics. ReForms21 is based on structural engineering, deterministic algorithms not probabilistic guessing.
Will my new system be Cloud-Ready?
Yes. The Java / React code we generate can run as a Spring Boot or JEE application and is natively prepared for containerization (Docker, Kubernetes). You can run it on AWS, Azure, OCI or even Alibaba Cloud or your own infrastructure.
How does ReForms21 use AI to solve the problem of missing system documentation?
Our latest R&D breakthrough allows us to provide automated process insight. We use a specialized MAS (multi-agent system) to analyse your legacy logic, to automatically generate high-quality technical documentation and test scenarios. This closes a long-standing gap for legacy owners and minimizes the time your technical team needs to spend explaining how the old system works.
Why is AI-assisted Oracle Forms & Reports migration more predictable than a general AI tool?
Unlike general AI, our AI-assisted migration engine is fine-tuned for the Oracle Forms & Reports to Java / React transition. It acts as a specialized, deterministic translator that understands both the PL/SQL context and modern open architecture. The result is clean, standard-compliant code that requires minimal manual intervention, ensuring a faster and more predictable migration process.
Can you help us move away from Oracle Database to PostgreSQL or e.g. SQL Server?
Yes, our smarter database migration leverages deterministic translation and LLMs to automate the translation of database-specific logic. We can complete missing code and streamline the shift to any clone of PostgreSQL, dramatically reducing both time and licensing costs compared to traditional manual database migration approaches.

Costs & Guarantees
Is modernization with ReForms21 cheaper than buying e.g. new ERP system?
Definitely. Buying a ready-made ERP requires you to change your business processes to fit the software. We modernize your system—which is already perfectly tailored to your company—preserving your competitive advantage at a fraction of the cost.
What guarantees do I have that the system will work identically after migration?
Through automation and our automated testing support, we eliminate human error. We guarantee logic fidelity—every business function will return the same results as in the old system.
Do you provide post-migration support (Maintenance)?
Yes, we offer post-deployment support, although our goal is to give you full control over the code. Because we use open Java / React standards, system maintenance becomes significantly cheaper and easier.
Do you migrate Oracle Reports too, and what replaces them?
We modernize reports as well, converting them into modern formats (e.g., Jasper Reports) or integrating them with your current BI system while maintaining full data readability.
What are the risks of staying on Oracle Forms & Reports after support ends?
Lack of support for old browser/Java versions, rising licensing costs, security vulnerabilities, and “retirement risk”—the situation where the last developers who understand your system leave the workforce.

Security, Performance & Logistics
How does modernization affect security and compliance (e.g., GDPR, DORA)?
Legacy Oracle Forms & Reports often rely on outdated Java versions, creating security gaps. Moving to a modern Java/Spring Boot/ React stack allows for the implementation of the latest authorization standards (OAuth2, OpenID Connect) and simplifies compliance audits.
Will the Java / React system be as fast as the native Oracle Forms & Reports system?
By optimizing the communication layer and using modern UI frameworks (like React) we provide a highly performant system. Users often experience a significant improvement in responsiveness. We replace the heavy “Forms Applet” with a standard-based, lightweight, real-time communication layer, reducing network and server load.
How long will the "Go-Live" switch take, and what is the expected downtime?
Our automated migration ensures zero downtime and zero operational disruption. We perform the heavy lifting in the background, allowing you to maintain full control over the final cutover, which is scheduled for a brief maintenance window with no impact on your operational hours.
How is ReForms21 installed and maintained for on-site corporate deployments?
Re_Forms21 can be deployed directly on-site within your secure corporate network.
