Oracle Workflow Client Installation

Perform the following steps to install the Oracle Workflow client components on a PC.

Attention: The MAPI-compliant Notification Mailer requires a Windows NT PC.

Step 1. Install Oracle Workflow client components using the Oracle Universal Installer.

Note: The installation should take approximately 10 minutes, depending on your system's speed and capacity.

Run the Oracle Universal Installer to install Oracle Workflow client components on your PC. Refer to the Oracle9i Installation Guide for your platform for detailed instructions on running the Oracle Universal Installer.

Within the Oracle Universal Installer, select the product Oracle9i Client. Then select the Custom installation type and choose the Oracle Workflow client components that you want to install.

Oracle Workflow Builder

Oracle Workflow Mailer

Note: When you install the Oracle Workflow Builder, the Oracle Workflow Common Files and the HTML help are automatically installed as well.

When you install the Oracle Workflow Mailer, the Oracle Workflow Common Files are automatically installed as well.

If you are installing Oracle Workflow Builder on a Windows 95 or Windows 98 PC, you must exit Oracle Universal Installer after the installation is complete and reboot your PC before starting Oracle Workflow Builder.

Attention: It is very important that you reboot your PC before starting Oracle Workflow Builder for the first time on Windows 95 or Windows 98 to ensure that the required versions of Workflow Builder files are loaded into memory as necessary.

Step 2. Set up the Oracle Workflow HTML help.

When you install Oracle Workflow Builder, the Oracle Universal Installer copies a zip file containing the HTML help to the Workflow directory in your Oracle Home. The zip file is <ORACLE_HOME>\wf\wfdoc261.zip. Before you can view the HTML help, you must extract the doc directory tree from the zip file to your file system.

1. Use an unzip utility to extract the doc directory tree from the zip file within the Workflow directory.

Note: You need at least 4 Mb of free disk space to extract the zip file.

<ORACLE_HOME>\wf\doc\<lang>\wfnew--Oracle Workflow Release 2.6 New Features and Changes.

<ORACLE_HOME>\wf\doc\<lang>\wfcust--Custom Help. You can optionally add your own customized Workflow help in this directory.

Note: You can also install the doc directory tree in a directory that you choose on your PC file system. Create a directory for the HTML help. Then transfer the HTML help zip file, wfdoc261.zip, from the Workflow subdirectory within your Oracle Home to the new directory. Use an unzip utility to extract the doc directory tree from the zip file in that directory.

2. After extracting the doc directory tree, you can optionally remove the zip file.

3. You can now view the HTML help using a Web browser.
