About Oracle Portal-to-Go Client

The Oracle Portal-to-Go client runs on the Windows NT platform. The client installation consists of the following components:

• Service Designer

• Web Integration Developer

Service Designer

Service Designer is a visual interface for implementing and managing Oracle Portal-to-Go. It creates and modifies Oracle Portal-to-Go objects, including users, adapters, transformers, and services. Service Designer provides a tree view of the Oracle Portal-to-Go repository. The tree displays Oracle Portal-to-Go objects classes, such as adapters and transformers, as folders or branch nodes. It shows instances of those classes as objects or leaf nodes.

The Service Designer is installed during the Oracle Portal-to-Go client installation.

Web Integration Developer

Web Integration Developer is a development environment for creating and testing Web Integration services written in Web Interface Definition Language (WIDL). The Web Integration Developer also has tools that you use to:

• Publish WIDL services for Web Integration Server.

• Create source code for client applications that invoke Web Integration services.

• Create starter code for the development of an integration module.

The Web Integration Developer is installed during the Oracle Portal-to-Go client installation. For post-installation configuration instructions, refer to "Configure the Web Integration Developer".

Note: The Web Integration Developer includes its own Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It does not require any Java setup.
