Checklist—Planning the client installations

Use the following checklist to help plan the installations of the client applications.

The Oracle Central Designer and Oracle Central Designer Administrator applications are ClickOnce applications. You start a ClickOnce application by clicking a link from a Microsoft Edge window.

When you click a link for either application, the Oracle Central Designer server checks whether the release that is installed on the server matches the files that are cached on your computer:

• If the server has been newly installed or has been upgraded after your last logon, the files that are necessary to run the application are cached on your computer, and then are used to open the application.
• If the server has not been updated since your last logon, the cached files on your computer are used to open the application.

1. Make sure all system requirements, including .NET Framework requirements, have been met for the client computers.
   For more information, see:

   • Oracle Central Designer System requirements guide.
   • Verifying that the correct version of Microsoft .NET Framework is installed.
2. For clients using Microsoft Edge browser version 79 or later, enable ClickOnce support.
   For more information, see Enabling ClickOnce support for Microsoft Edge version 79 or later.
3. Make sure the clocks on the application server computer, database server computer, and client computers are synchronized.
   For more information, see Synchronizing clocks on server and client computers.
4. Start the client applications.
   For more information, see:

   • Starting the Oracle Central Designer client application.
