Oracle^® Business Intelligence Applications Installation and Configuration Guide > Installing and Configuring Oracle BI Applications on Windows >

Installing the Java SDK

This step can be optional or mandatory, depending on where you want to install the DAC server and the DAC client. Java SDK must be installed on the machines where both the DAC server and DAC client are installed. If a machine has the Oracle Business Intelligence infrastructure installed, the Java SDK will already be installed on that machine.

If required, you can have other versions of SDK installed on the same server to support other applications. For example, you might have Java SDK version 1.5 installed for the DAC, and Java SDK version 1.4.2 installed for a different application that is not supported on Java SDK version 1.5.

NOTE:  For information about which version of the Java SDK is supported, see System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.

To install Java SDK

1. Download the Java SDK from the Sun Web site, and install it on the machine where both the DAC server and DAC client are installed.
   1. For example, (on Windows): <DRIVE>:\j2sdk1.5

      NOTE:  Make sure that there are no spaces in the directory path.
