It is important that an OA Framework developer obtains the specific version of JDeveloper 10g with OA Extension for their version

of E-Business Suite. JDeveloper 10g with OA Extension is used with R12 EBusiness Suite instances. For 11.5 (11i) E-Business Suite instances, you will need to use JDeveloper 9i. The techniques for OA Framework development in both versions of JDeveloper are similar, but there are some important differences between the two versions of JDeveloper. It would be possible to include a table of the patch numbers that contain the specific versions of JDeveloper 10g with OA Extension. The problem with that is that this course material would quickly become out of date. There is a very specific My Oracle Support knowledge article (Formerly Oracle MetaLink Note) that contains all the latest information on the released patches. How to find the correct version of JDeveloper to use with E-Business Suite 11i or Release 12 My Oracle Support Knowledge Document: 416708.1

Installing and Setting Up JDeveloper 1. Refer to My Oracle Support Knowledge Doc 416708.1 to obtain the proper patch for your E-Business Suite instance. 2. Download the proper JDeveloper patch. 3. Install JDeveloper by unzipping it to a directory of your choice. 4. Configure your environment variables. 5. Obtain the database connection file (.dbc) for your E-Business Suite instance. 6. Create a shortcut to the JDeveloper executable. 7. Create a Framework Development user and responsibility for OA Framework testing. 8. Uncompress Tutorial.zip into your JDEVHOME directory. 9. Launch JDeveloper 10g. 10. Configure the connections. 11. Test your install and configuration. 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. Here are some specific examples. Setting the JDEV_USER_HOME environment variable on Windows 2000/XP 1. Right-click My Computer on your desktop, select Properties.

2. In the System Properties dialog, select the Advanced tab. 3. On the Advanced tab, select the Environment Variables button. 4. Select the New button at the User variables for <username> box. 5. In the New User Variable dialog, enter JDEV_USER_HOME in the Variable Name field. 6. Set the Variable Value field to the location of your JDEV_USER_HOME subdirectory (for example, D:\JDev\jdevhome\jdev) 7. 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. The file is located in: $INST_TOP/appl/fnd/12.0.0/secure Put the file into your: JDEV_USER_HOME/dbc_files/secure

The executable for JDeveloper is located as follows: Windows D:\JDev\jdevbin\jdev/bin\jdevW.exe Linux \JDev\jdevbin\jdev\bin\jdev

Note: Linux does not run the .exe (Windows) executable. Creating a shortcut varies by operating system as follows: Windows create a desktop shortcut to the JDeveloper executable noted above. Linux create an alias or shell script the points to the JDeveloper executable noted above.

Configure and Test The steps to configure the connections and test are as follows: 1. Configure the database connection. a. Connections tab on Navigator panel. b. Right-click Database, select New Database Connection c. Name the connection d. Username = apps e. Password = apps f. Set the host name and SID. If you dont know the settings, look at the DBC file.

g. Test the connection h. Finish 2. Click the Applications Navigator tab. 3. Choose File > Open > myprojects > toolbox.jws. 4. Expand toolbox in the Applications Navigator panel. 5. Double-click Tutorial to open Project Properties window. 6. Expand the Oracle Applications menu entry.

7. Choose Oracle Applications > Runtime Connection. 8. Set the DBC File Name to the directory and name for your DBC file. 9. Click the Save All icon to save your progress 10. Expand Tutorial. 11. Expand the Web Content folder. 12. Right-click test_fwktutorial.jsp, and choose Run.
