Setting Up on Your Application Development Computer

Installing the jar files

To make the jar files accessible in your development environment, perform the following steps:

1. Copy the OLAP API, VisiBroker, and Oracle CORBA naming service jar files to your application development computer. Place them in a location that makes them accessible to the Java integrated development environment (IDE) that you are using. An example of an IDE is Oracle JDeveloper.

2. Edit your Java CLASSPATH environment variable to include the paths of the files on your computer.

3. In the IDE, make any specifications that are required to make the files accessible for importing classes into your programs.

Installing the OLAP API reference documentation

If you want to access the Oracle9i OLAP Services OLAP API Reference files on your application development computer, locate the jar files that contain them in the olap/olapi/doc subdirectory of the Oracle home directory on the OLAP Services computer. Consult the readme.txt file in that directory for instructions on how to install the files and access them in your Web browser.

The Oracle9i OLAP Services OLAP API Reference was created using the javadoc tool provided by Sun Microsystems.

Installing the sample programs

If you want to run the Java sample programs on your application development computer, locate the jar file that contains them in the olap/olapi/shprog subdirectory of the Oracle home directory on the OLAP Services computer. Consult the readme.txt file in that directory for instructions on how to install the files and run the sample programs.

The sample programs access data and metadata that is in the Sales History schema, which is provided with the Oracle installation.
