Each of these options carries its own set of advantages. Generate The primary advantage of the 'Generate' option is that it is completed quickly. If you use the Oracle Generate utility, you get a basic converted form for free. If you use a third-party generator, you get enhanced GUI functionality.

Oracle's Generate utility ignores the introduction of mouse navigation and the fact that many forms contain validation code in key triggers that do not fire when navigation occurs with the mouse.

Convert A full conversion of forms during upgrade addresses the disadvantages of the Generate option. A full conversion starts with the Generate option, then takes the next proactive step of identifying and correcting the problem areas.
