FormDiff - High Performance Difference Engine

Why FormDiff? With August Tenth Systems FormDiff®, it is easy to document all changes made to Forms 9i, Forms 6i, Forms 6.0 and Forms 5.0 FMBs. The changes can be object attributes or PL/SQL code. FormDiff will show your developers, QA personnel and project managers what has changed.

Overview

The FormDiff® difference engine can completely document changes made to FMB modules at lightening speed. FormDiff® (FMBs) supports command line operations for batch style processing.

FormDiff® compares two FMBs by examining every attribute on the Property Palette of every object in the FormBuilder Object Navigator Tree. This tool compares PL/SQL code differences by displaying additions, deletions and line modifications. FormDiff can identify any and all sub-classed attributes that have been overridden by the programmer / developer.

FormDiff® benefits can significantly impact your bottom line:

• Eliminate the time needed to manually document all changes made to Forms.
• Facilitate debugging by showing your developers what was last changed.
• Enable your development team to perform impact analysis on sub-classed objects.
