Hi All,
I have oracle base version and our client version.
In oracle base version we have "products.fmb" file
In our client version "item.fmb" file.it was created using the base version.After that many people made changes to client version. Now I want to compare those two files. But in our system there is no form builder. Is it possible to compare without FORM builder. If possible please let me know..
Thank you.

What would you do if you did find a difference? Since you cannot install Forms Builder, you would never ever be able to interpret the difference found.
Why not simply hash the two files and see if the outcomes are equal?

Hi,
We are helping our client with upgrading version from 10.1.9 to 10.1.20
As a part of comparison between customised 10.1.9 and Oracle base 10.1.9, we need to run form comparison between these versions.
Our Goal: Compare forms between customized Version with Oracle Base version.
Method : Convert each .fmb file to .txt and then run a comparison between two .txt file.(Not sure if this a right way to compare as this may loose library function attached to it.)
Issue: It requires mind numbering hours of manual effort.
Your Advice: Could you please advice on bulk saving forms to text? Any other way to automate this or any tool/application that could help?
Thank you.

The Process I followed is
1.In Formbuilder : File -----> Administrator -----> Object
List report
But It will convert only one file at atime.But I need bulk
conversion .
2. File-----> Administrator----> binary-to-text
Thank you,
[Updated djm]: Change 'code' to 'quote'.

Our team has been using "FormsTool V2.0". Is pretty good...
You can compare the files and also copy the changes from one file to another. The only drawback we noticed was that the size of the file reduces drastically if we try to save the file.
We do not have the confidence to promote the changes to higher environments with the saved result.
We used to compare the files using this tool and bring the changes to the form using Forms Builder
