Installing and Setting UP JDeveloper for OAF Customization R12x

 

1)  Refer to Metalink note 416708.1 to obtain the proper patch for your E-Business Suite instance.

2)  Download the proper JDeveloper patch. When you download the proper patch for your E-Business Suite instance, the patch will be named similar to the following: p5856648_R12_GENERIC.zip JDeveloper 10g with OA Extension does not contain a installation routine. The installation process consists of unzipping the patch to a directory of your choice. Forexample, you could use the following:

On Linux – /JDev

On Windows – D:/JDev

When you unzip the patch, it will create three (3) subdirectories as follows:

jdevbin – This subdirectory contains all the executables, utilities, and supporting files for JDeveloper 10g with OA Extension.

jdevdoc – This subdirectory contains the OA Framework Developer’s Guide (OAFDG) along with the Javadoc files for the APIs.

jdevhome – This subdirectory is empty. But, it can be used as the base directory for your OA Framework files.

 

3 )  Configure your Environment Variable. 

Setting environment variables is specific to both the operating system, operating

system version, and command shell being used. It is not possible to list every single

variation. But, here are some specific example.

Setting the JDEV_USER_HOME environment variable on Windows 2000/XP

•     Right-click My Computer on your desktop, select Properties.

•     In the System Properties dialog, select the Advanced tab.

•     On the Advanced tab, select the Environment Variables button.

•     Select the New button at the User variables for <username> box.

•     In the New User Variable dialog, enter JDEV_USER_HOME in the Variable Name field.

•     Set the Variable Value field to the location of your JDEV_USER_HOME subdirectory (for example, D:\JDev\jdevhome\jdev)

•     Select OK in each of the dialogs you opened to save the new user environment variable.

Setting the JDEV_USER_HOME environment variable on Linux

•     There are a multitude of shells that can be run for Linux operating systems. Examples of these shells include, bash, csh, tcsh, and others. In most cases, one of these two methods will work.

•     Open a terminal window on your Linux machine, and type the commands listed in the method that works for you.

•     Method 1:    set JDEV_USER_HOME = /JDev/jdevhome/jdev

export JDEV_USER_HOME

•     Method 2:    export JDEV_USER_HOME = /JDev/jdevhome/jdev

JDEV_JAVA_HOME points to the appropriate Java SDK for your development, and certified by Oracle for your Operating System and E-Business Suite version. In most cases, you will not need to set this on either Linux or Windows servers. The appropriate values are already set-up for you. In rare cases almost always on Linux servers, this needs to be set.
