Client Tier

There are two ways to set up a client, depending on the type of user:

Most Users: Users who do not write custom programs for transformations and validation checks, require the following on their personal computers:

  • A web browser
  • Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

Administrators require JVM to use any of the Oracle Forms screens related to security, including setting up user accounts, and to run the post-installation jobs.

Programmers: Users who write custom programs in an integrated development environment from Oracle LSH require additional software:

  • One or more integrated development environments, such as PC SAS, SQL*Plus, or SQL Developer
  • Oracle LSH plug-in for launching Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)
  • WinZip
  • Web browser
