Evo ART™ - Analysis and Reporting Tool
*Note - Evo ART is currently patent pending
Evo ART is an application portfolio assessment tool that provides in-depth insight to your Oracle Forms® application. The data provided by Evo ART can help anyone get a true understanding of their Forms application and prepare them to make valuable decisions concerning the maintenance, redesign, upgrade or modernization of their Oracle Forms application.
This data will help in any conversion or upgrade.
Benefits
- Supports the client in determining an appropriate architecture for the migration of the existing forms application.
- Quantifies the complexity of the existing forms application and highlights areas of the application that may be difficult to migrate and may require redesign.
- Provides concrete data to support a detailed planning and design phase.
- Exposes dependences within a Form to database objects that assist in maintaining an existing application.
Reports and Analysis
Critical Built-Ins Analysis
Identify Forms Built-Ins being used that will potentially require design changes to convert.
Notable Built-Ins Analysis
Identify Forms Built-Ins being used that will potentially require design changes to convert.
Master Detail Analysis
This report identifies the number of master and detail blocks on each form. Master blocks are defined as database-based blocks that are not multi-row, while detail blocks would be multi-row database-based blocks. Control blocks are not included in this report.
Menu Redundancy
A list of loaded menus and the menu or menus that are duplicated (if there are any). A duplicative menu is a menu that contains all of the same menu items.
Library Dependency (PLL)
A list of loaded forms with their library dependencies. This report displays one form and library per row to allow for sorting of form or library.
Forms to Object Analysis
This report includes which queries in a form call which tables, which tables a form requires, etc. In addition, this report will also include which blocks in a form are based on stored procedures. This report is generated as 2 reports, one for the in-line queries and one for the blocks.
Form Dependency
A list of inter-form dependencies: inheritance of forms, forms calling other forms.
Code Redundancy Analysis
This report identifies procedures and triggers that are exact matches across forms.
Unused Libraries (PLL)
As opposed to the library dependency report which lists which libraries are attached to which forms, this report lists the libraries that are attached to forms but do not have any calls into them made. These libraries can be safely detached from the forms.
Complexity Analysis
The Detailed Complexity Analysis support provides lower levels of detail than the standard Complexity Report generated in the Analysis section of Evo. The Detailed Complexity Analysis provides support for different canvas types, OLBs, and Menus in addition to the standard data elements. Either report can be used to project time and cost of a project as well as isolation of complex forms.
