What about Oracle Forms and Reports in v2/8.3?

• The com.castsoftware.formsreport extension is specific to CAST Imaging v3/8.4 and does not function with v2/8.3.
• The extension should not be considered as an exact replacement for the Oracle Forms and Reports analyzer embedded in AIP Core 8.3 and you should note that there is no supported migration path between the two.
• The support for Oracle Forms and Reports provided by the com.castsoftware.formsreport extension is similar to the supported provided by the Oracle Forms and Reports analyzer embedded in AIP Core 8.3, however it is not identical. If you would like to know more about the differences, please see Comparison with embedded Oracle Forms and Reports analyzer for Imaging v2/8.3.
