Install Oracle Application Developer Framework (ADF)

Install Oracle Application Developer 12c R2, also known as ADF.

1. In the staging area where you downloaded the media pack (see Download the Software) locate the Oracle Application Development Runtime directory where you extracted the ADF .zip file.
2. If you have not done so already, log in as the user you selected in Identify a Single Account to Perform All Application Tier Installation Tasks.
3. In a DOS Command window, navigate to the above directory.
4. Execute the following command:

   setup -jreLoc drive:\location_where_you_installed_jdk1.8.0_111

   for example:

   setup -jreLoc C:\app\Java\jdk180111

   However, if you installed JDK in the default location, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_65, this command may not work because of the space between "Program" and "Files." The following command works for the same location:

   setup -jreLoc C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk180111

   Tip:

   ADF’s setup.exe file does not run if you double-click it. You must use the above command.

5. Follow instructions on the Installer screens.

   Note:

   If you see the message "WLS installation detected, WebLogic Server support available in this Middleware Home." Press Next to continue the installation.

Upgrade ADF

Upgrade ADF to the latest patch set that is certified with Oracle Clinical. See Oracle Health Sciences (Life Sciences/ Pharmaceutical/ Healthcare) Supported Technology Stacks (Document ID 180430.1) on My Oracle Support for the latest information.

To upgrade ADF, apply two patches, a JDeveloper patch and a WebCenter Composer patch, and enter an upgrade command as detailed below. For ADF 11.1.2.4 the patch numbers are:

• 16546129—JDeveloper patch
• 16546157—WebCenter Composer patch

Note:

Oracle supports only English OS language settings for the application tier.

Additional information is in the patch readme files. However, because there are no WebCenter components explicitly installed, you cannot follow the patch readme instructions completely.

1. Restart the server.
2. Locate the patch files in the staging area where you downloaded them in Download the Software.
3. Go to the Windows Control Panel, then Services, then stop all Oracle services (Oracle Process Manager, Oracle WebLogic Node Manager).
4. Open a DOS command window and set the oracle_home and path. For ADF (only) this should be:

   set ORACLE_HOME=your_oracle_common_home

   For example: set ORACLE_HOME=C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Common

   set path=%oracle_home%\bin;%oracle_home%;%oracle_home%\opatch;%path%

   Note:

   The readme for the WebCenter patch directs you to set oracle_home to Oracle_WC1—the WebCenter install directory. However, if there are no WebCenter components explicitly installed, set oracle_home to oracle_common as above.
5. Navigate to one patch directory. For example, for ADF 11.1.2.4:

   cd c:\downloads\p16546129_111160_Generic\16546129

6. Enter

   opatch apply

7. Navigate to the other patch directory. For example, for ADF 11.1.2.4:

   cd c:\downloads\p16546157_111160_Generic\16546157

8. Enter

   opatch apply

9. If you have started any WebLogic services, including the Administration and Managed Servers, close them now:
   • If any DOS windows are open that are running the node manager, close them.
   • Go to the Windows Control Panel, then Services, and turn off the Oracle WebLogic Node Manager service.
10. From the DOS command line, navigate to middleware_home\oracle_common\common\bin and execute the following commands:

    setWlstEnv.cmd
    wlst.cmd
    

    Then, in the WebLogic Server Scripting Tool shell, enter the following commands:

    upgradeADF('middleware_home/user_projects/domains/frdomain')
    exit()

    Note:

    Be sure to use forward slashes (/) in the path.

    By default middleware_home is C:\oracle\middleware.

    In the WLS Scripting Tool shell you can type help() to get information on available commands.
