Installing JPublisher

Oracle JPublisher is maintained by Oracle, and the packaging and usage are subject to change. If any of the information conveyed here is no longer valid, check with Oracle Support or contact TIBCO Support for more information.

Prerequisites

Ensure that your system meets the following requirements:

  • Java JDK 1.5 or higher is installed on your system.
  • The bin directory is in the path. On Windows systems, it is good practice to verify that Java is accessible by entering java –version_number in a command line window to reduce the chance of errors.

Procedure

  1. Download a supported version of Oracle JPublisher from the Oracle website, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/jdbc/index-091264.html.

    Check whether the version of your JPublisher is supported. See Supported Versions for details.

    Note: If you want to use Oracle JPublisher 11.x, copy the runtime12.jar and translator.jar from the ORACLE_HOME\oc4j\sql\jlib directory to the TIBCO_HOME\bw\palettes\oracleebs\6.1\examples\jpublisher\lib directory.
  2. Extract the package to a local folder in your system.
  3. Reference runtime12.jar, translator.jar, and the JDBC library in the Java classpath.
    • On Microsoft Windows platforms:

      1. Select Start > Control Panel > System.
      2. In the System Properties dialog, click the Advanced tab, and then click Environment Variables in this tab.
      3. In the System variables area, select CLASSPATH, and click Edit.
      4. Add runtime12.jar, translator.jar, and the JDBC library to the Variable value field. Click OK.
    • On Windows platforms with console window:
      Execute the following command:
      set
      CLASSPATH=JPUB_LIB_DIR/runtime12.jar;JPUB_LIB_DIR/translator.jar;
      JPUB_LIB_DIR/ojdbc5.jar
      
    • On UNIX platforms:
      Execute the following command:
      export 
      CLASSPATH=JPUB_LIB_DIR/runtime12.jar:JPUB_LIB_DIR/translator.jar:
      JPUB_LIB_DIR/ojdbc5.jar
      
    Note: It is good practice to put the JDBC library in the same folder as the runtime12.jar and translator.jar directory.
