Required Software

The application development computer must have the following files:

• OLAP API jar files, which represent the OLAP API client software. The Oracle Client installation with the Administrator option provides these files, along with the OLAP API Javadoc.
• Oracle JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) jar files, which provide communications between the application and the Oracle database. The Oracle Client installation with the Administrator option provides JDBC. For additional information about using the Oracle implementation of JDBC, see the Oracle Technology Web site at

  http://otn.oracle.com/
   
  

  You must use Oracle's implementation, not a product from another vender.

• The Java Development Kit (JDK) version 1.2. The Oracle installation does not provide the JDK. For information about obtaining and using it, see the Sun Microsystems Java Web site at

  http://java.sun.com
  
  

If you are using Oracle JDeveloper as your development environment, JDBC and the JDK are already installed on your computer. However, ensure that you are using the correct version of the JDK in JDeveloper.
