What is an Oracle Forms Complexity Analysis?

A complexity analysis specifically looks at Oracle Forms applications to determine the scope of work needed for modernization or migration.

It categorizes Forms and Reports by complexity, quantifies components (like Canvas, Blocks, Items, Program Units, Triggers), and identifies non-applicable components (such as dead code).

This analysis is a crucial first step for planning a modernization project, as it helps you understand the scale of your current system, anticipate potential issues, and devise a strategic roadmap for a smooth transition to newer technologies.
