Client Tier

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

Consumers and Administrators: Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub (Oracle LSH) Consumers, who retrieve information in the form of reports and visualizations, and Oracle LSH Administrators, who perform administrative tasks within Oracle LSH, require the following on their personal computers:

• A Web browser
• Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

Administrators require either JInitiator or JVM to use any of the Oracle Forms screens related to security, to run the post-installation jobs, and to set up user accounts and functional roles.

Definers: A full-service client for users who create (define) the programs that operate on Oracle LSH data and generate reports requires additional software:

• Oracle LSH plug-in for launching Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)
• WinZip
• Web browser
• In addition, Definers need one or more IDE clients. These may include: SAS PC, SQL*Plus, SQL Developer, Oracle BI Administration Tool, Oracle Reports, and Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher.
