Setting Up on Your Application Development Computer

Installing the jar files

To make the jar files accessible in your development environment, take the following steps:

1. On your application development computer, start the Oracle Client Software CD for your platform.
2. Select the Administrator installation type, and complete the installation as directed.
3. Find the OLAP API jar files on your computer where the installation procedure copied them. Look in the olap/olapi/lib subdirectory of the Oracle home directory.
4. Make the OLAP API jar files accessible to the Java integrated development environment (IDE) that you are using. An example of an IDE is Oracle JDeveloper.
5. Edit your Java CLASSPATH environment variable to include the paths of the files on your computer.
6. In the IDE, make any specifications that are required to make the files accessible for importing classes into your programs.

Installing the OLAP API Javadoc

If you want to access the OLAP API Javadoc on your application development computer, locate the jar files that contain them on your computer where the installation procedure copied them. Look in the olap/olapi/doc subdirectory of the Oracle home directory. Consult the readme.txt file in that directory for instructions on how to install the files and access them in your Web browser.

Using a Sample Program

If you want to examine or run a sample Java program that uses the OLAP API, you can obtain it from the Oracle MetaLink (iSupport) Web site. To get the program, list the patches for the Oracle OLAP product in the Oracle Server product family on the Solaris or Windows NT platform. Search for a patch named "OLAP API Sample Program," and download the file.
