I Setting up Jython, Eclipse and Python

This appendix explains how to set up Jython, Eclipse and PyDev for use with the Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management, Enterprise Edition scripting component.

This section is specific to the 11.1.2.3.100 release of FDMEE. Because Jython, Eclipse and Python are not Oracle products, always refer to these products' documentation for the latest updates and changes. See The Definitive Guide to Jython, Python documentation, and Eclipse documentation.

To set up Jython:

1. Create a working directory.

   For example, create: C:\FDMEE.

2. Download Jython to the working directory.

   • Current Java Home

3. Download Eclipse to working directory and extract.

   The Eclipse download is available at http://www.eclipse.org/downloads

   Note:

   In addition to Eclipse, users may use Notepad++ with the Jython add-in, or the Python Fiddle site to write and test scripts. Pythonfiddle is a good site for writing event scripts, and the Chrome browser is recommended for pythonfiddle. For more advanced scripts, Eclipse or Jdeveloper are recommended
