Prerequisites for Using the XSLT Transform Builder

There are no prerequisites for manually building transformation programs using the XSLT Transform Builder.

If you plan to use the Oracle XSL Mapper to build transformation programs in the XSLT Transform Builder you must:

  • Download, install and configure the Oracle XSLT Mapper.

    Oracle XSL Mapper is an Oracle JDeveloper plug-in. Check the My Oracle Support website for information about supported versions and for installation, configuration, and user documentation.

    Important:

    After you install Oracle XSL Mapper do not move or delete the installed jar files from the default installation location, unless instructed otherwise in the product documentation. The PeopleSoft system reads this information from the default location for proper functioning of the feature.

  • 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.

  • Set the JDeveloper home location (JDEV_HOME) in the Windows environment variables as follows:

    <ORACLE_HOME>\jdeveloper

  • Set the Mapper classpath (JDEV_MAPPER_CLASSPATH) in the Windows environment variables as follows:

    <ORACLE_HOME>\jdeveloper\ide\extensions\oracle.ide.jar; <ORACLE_HOME>\jdeveloper\jdev\extensions\oracle.ide.xmlef.jar; <ORACLE_HOME>\jdeveloper\jdev\extensions\oracle.bpm.mapper.jar; <ORACLE_HOME>\jdeveloper\integration\lib\bpm-ide-common.jar; <ORACLE_HOME>\jdeveloper\ide\lib\javatools.jar; <ORACLE_HOME>\jdeveloper\jdev\lib\xmleditor.jar; <ORACLE_HOME>\oracle_common\modules\oracle.xdk_11.1.0\xmlparserv2.jar; <ORACLE_HOME>\oracle_common\modules\oracle.xmlef_11.1.1\xmlef.jar;C:\JDeveloper11g\oracle_common\modules\oracle.javatools_11.1.1\javatools-nodeps.jar

  • Generate message schemas for messages. 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.
