Setup OAF Development Enviornment

It is critically 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 E-Business Suite instances.
It would be possible to include a table of the patch numbers that contain the specific versions of JDeveloper 10g with OA Extension. There is a very specific 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 – MetaLink Note: 416708.1

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. For example, 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.
Installing and Setting Up JDeveloper
  1. Refer to MetaLink note 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.
Configure Your Environment Variables
  1. JDEV_USER_HOME is a mandatory environment variable that points to the base directory where your development files are stored.
  2. JDEV_JAVA_HOME is an optional environment variables that points to a specific Java SDK.
Get the DBC File
The file is located in:
$INST_TOP/appl/fnd/12.0.0/secure
Put the file into your:
JDEV_USER_HOME/dbc_files/secure
Create a Shortcut
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.
Uncompress Tutorial.zip
In the JDEVBIN directory, there is a file named, Tutorial.zip. Uncompress this file into your JDEVHOME directory.
Because the .zip file contains the ./jdev/… and other directories, it will create the proper structure for you as it is uncompressed.
Launch JDeveloper 10g
The method to launch JDeveloper with vary depending on operating system, operating system version, and the shell.
Note: The first time JDeveloper 10g is launched you see the Start Page. It is something you should close.

Configure the Connections and Test

  1. Configure the database connection.
    • Connections tab on Navigator panel.
    • Right-click Database, select New Database Connection
    • Name the connection
    • Username = apps (This is the database user to which you are going to connect. Within E-Business Suite, the master database user that has access to all the E-Business Suite database objects is apps.)
    • Password = apps (The default password for the apps database user is apps. Note: On production servers or any server requiring security, it is important that this password has been changed.)
    • Set the host name and SID. If you don’t know the settings, look at the DBC file.
    • Test the connection
    • 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.
  13. You should see the test_fwktutorial.jsp page as follows:

  14. You should see the Hello, World! Page as follows:



    At this point, if you have seen both the test_fwktutorial.jsp page and the Hello, World! page, you know several things.

    • You have connected to a database, or else test_fwktutorial.jsp would not have worked.
    • You have connected to an R12 E-Business Suite applications instance, or else Hello, World! would not have worked.
    • You have a user on that E-Business Suite instance named, FWKTESTER, with a password of FWKDEV, assigned to the AK product, and given the FWK_TBX_TUTORIAL responsibility.
    • Your installation and configuration is complete.
