Downloading the Express Connection Editor from OTN

If you do not already have the Express Connection Editor installed, then you can download the necessary files.

To download a file and install the Express Connection Editor from OTN:

  1. In a Web browser, access the Oracle Technology Network Oracle Reports 10g page
    (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/index.html).
  2. Download the file with which you can install the Express Connection Editor.
  3. Unzip the downloaded file and use the setup.exe file to run the installation program to install just the Express Connection Editor.

Important: Ensure that you install the Express Connection Editor in the same ORACLE_HOME directory in which Oracle Reports is installed.

Once the Express Connection Editor is installed, you can use it to create connection files.
