Though Services for Excel can be installed independent from the EDQP client software, the client applications must be installed to enable the use of the AutoBuild application. AutoBuild interacts with Knowledge Studio and its associated data lenses and Smart Glossaries.
EDQP uses Java Web Start to initially install and maintain the current version of the software on your client desktop. The process requires you to access the Oracle DataLens Server to initiate the connection and download the software.The EDQP client applications are downloaded and installed using Java Web Start by browsing to the installation page for your Oracle DataLens Server as follows:
Ensure that you have the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 21 installed. You can download the JRE and obtain the installation instructions by browsing to:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Start Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Initiate a connection and download the client software by browsing to:
http://server:2229/datalens/datalens.jnlp
Where server is the hostname of your Oracle DataLens Server.
Note:
If you have setup a different port number for your application server other than 2229, you must use that port number in the following URL when browsing to the Oracle DataLens Server to download the client applications.The application download and verification begins.
Note:
If you receive a File Download message indicating that the.jnlp file is not associated with a program, you do not have the supported JRE installed. Click Cancel and return to Step 1.After the verification completes, the installation begins. Enterprise DQ for Product files are digitally signed by a trusted source so the following security warning is displayed:

You can configure a Term Library to augment and enhance your data lens grammar. A Term Library is composed of the term variants found in an existing data lenses. You can either create a new Term Library or add to an existing Term Library .
On the Services for Excel toolbar, click DataLens Tools, and then select Options.
Select <Create New> to create a new Term Library or select a Term Library from the list to update an existing library.
The Term Library you create or update is used by AutoBuild by extracting terms from the data lens that you select. This is particularly useful when you have extensive term variant refinements (in fact, term variant refinement are the only type of refinement used in Term Libraries) in a data lens that you want to leverage in new data lens.
Click Update Term Library, and then select the data lens that you want to use to create an initial one or update the existing Term Library.
Click OK.
The Term Library is created or updated to include these new terms and variations. The extracted terms are case insensitive, all underscores, plurals, and duplicates (containing identical variants) are removed.
After creating a new Term Library it is automatically stored in the correct location required by AutoBuild, and then you can update the Term Library one data lens at a time. In Step 1 of the AutoBuild wizard, you can make your Term Library selection by clicking the Category Details button.
Upon completion, a report is displayed that details all of the terms that were updated for you to review and save.
Note:
If the data lens names do not display properly (as is sometimes the case with full-width characters), ensure that your Windows region and language options are set properly. For more information, see Windows Help.
