OFormsCI - Continuous Integration for Oracle Forms

OFormsCI is a set of tools to form a complete tool chain for continuous integration with Git, Jenkins, Oracle Forms/Reports and WebLogic server.

It is partly based on scripts developed at Cenote GmbH starting in 2003.

The official homepage is oformsci.cenote.de.

It has the following features:

  • Call a Forms/Reports Compiler and run it on an Ant fileset using a custom Ant Task
  • Compiles only changed files (if wanted) - speeds up intermediate builds
  • Fallback to full build if *.pll file changes detected
  • Save development workflow when switching branches
  • Circumvents compiler bugs which are hard to handle with shell scripts or windows batch files
  • Creates a jar file for icons and signs it (if you have a code signing key)
  • Works on Windows and Linux
  • Comes with fully working example build.xml file - no Ant hacking
  • All customizing only via build.properties and project.propterties files

Requirements:

  • Java 1.6 or higher
  • Apache Ant (or Maven - not tested jet)
  • Git
  • Oracle Fusion Middleware Forms 11gR2 (maybe working with other versions too)

Optional:

  • Jenkins CI

Quick Start

  • Download the OFormsCI from downloads.
  • Create a project directory with a maven like structure.
  • your Oracle Forms and Reports files should go into src/main/oforms/
  • Extract the distribution archive into your project directory.
  • Copy the files in oformsci/examples/* to your project basedir.
  • Rename build.properties.example to build.properties and tweak it according your installation.
