Prerequisites for Developing Transforms Using Oracle XSL Mapper

To use Oracle XSL Mapper you must:

• Install Oracle JDeveloper.

  Oracle XSL Mapper is part of Oracle JDeveloper .

  See Installing Oracle XSL Mapper.

• In PeopleSoft Configuration Manager, specify the path to the Oracle JDeveloper installation location.

  See Specifying the Installation Path and Classpath for Oracle XSL Mapper.

• All messages used in the mapper must have schemas generated for them.

  For rowset-based messages, use the Message Definitions – Schema page to generate schemas. For nonrowset-based messages, use the Message Definitions – Schema page to add or import schemas for these types of messages.

  See Managing XML Message Schemas for Rowset-Based Messages and Adding Message Schemas to Nonrowset-Based Messages.

• You must create a Transform Only application engine program and define the program properties described earlier in this topic.

  See Defining a Transform Program.

• If you are using Oracle JDeveloper 11g, the JDK folder and its contents must exist inside the JDeveloper home location. Therefore you must install JDK or use an existing installation of JDK, and copy all the contents inside the <JDEV_HOME> directory. The following example shows the installation path: <JDEV11_HOME>/jdk/<jdk_copied_contents>

• If you are using Oracle 11gR2 or a later release, you must move the following folders from <Middleware_Home>\oracle_common\modules to <Middleware_Home>\jdeveloper\modules:

  • \oracle.xdk_11.1.0

  • \oracle.xmlef_11.1.1

  • \oracle.javatools_11.1.1
