Installation Requirements

Installation pre-requisites and permissions Pre-Requisites: Please see the AuraPlayer pre-requisites document for full details

1. Oracle Forms server version 9i and up or EBS version 12.X and up

2. Oracle Forms server machine with Weblogic 10.x installed

Permissions to:

1. Add a jar file and a properties file to the Java folder of Oracle Forms server

2. Edit the formsweb.cfg file on the Oracle Forms Server machine

3. Restart the Oracle Forms server in order to complete installation (if it is on version 11g)

Installation files The following files will be sent to you upon installation:

1. AuraPlayerAgent.jar

2. Auraplayer.properties

3. ServiceManager.war

4. AuraPlayerCertificate.p12

Installation Process

1. Installing AuraPlayer - The steps

1. Copy AuraPlayerAgent.jar and properties files to the java folder of the Oracle Forms Server

2. Set the archive path of the Oracle Forms server to point to the new jar (AuraPlayerAgent.jar) file

that was copied

3. Restart Oracle Forms server

4. Deploy AuraPlayer's ServiceManager.war on weblogic server (may be installed on the same

server as the jar file).

5. Install certificate (AuraPlayerCertificate.p12) on the client machine and run ServiceManager.war

(required only on the recording machine)

2. Installing the Recording Agent

1. Copy the AuraPlayerAgent.jar and the auraplayer.properties files to the java home directory on

the Oracle Forms server machine: Forms 11g R2 - <Middleware Home>\FRMHome\forms\java

Example: C:\Oracle\Middleware\FRMHome\forms\java

2. In order to avoid security collisions, if you have other jar files in the Oracle Forms environment

that you sign as part of your Oracle Forms deployment process, such as WebUtils, you have to

sign AuraPlayerAgent.jar as well with the same certificate.

4 | P a g e C o n f i d e n t i a l

3. Make a backup of the formsweb.cfg file. Add the AuraPlayerAgent.jar file to Oracle Forms'

classpath. This can be done either by editing the Forms configuration section of your Oracle Form

or by creating a new configuration section for AuraPlayer.

You can do both by editing the Forms configuration in weblogic's Enterprise Manager in Section

1, or by editing the formsweb.cfg directly.

The location of formsweb.cfg is:

Forms 11g R2 – <Forms Home config>\applications\formsapp_11.1.2\config

For example:

C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\FRMDomain\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FOR

MS\applications\formsapp_11.1.2\config

You must edit the formsweb.cfg file in notepad++ and add the AuraPlayerAgent.jar to the

archive parameter, as follows:Find “archive_” and add AuraPlayerAgent.jar to the end of the

line.

For example:

archive_jini= AuraPlayerAgent.jar ,frmall_jinit.jar

archive= AuraPlayerAgent.jar,frmall.jar

4. In the web.cfg file, make sure that parameter "otherparams" the record parameter is %record%

For example: otherparams=record=%record%

5. Restart weblogic Forms Server - WLS_FORMS to complete the installation

Creating New Users for Service Manager Management (Optional) AuraPlayer's Service Manager uses WebLogic's user management system for authentication.

Service Manager's default configuration grants full access permissions to group members of the

Administrators group, and limited access to group members of the Operators group.

Additionally Service Manager has pre-configured roles of two custom security Groups

ServiceManagerAdmins – members can fully administer the Service Manager

ServiceManagerUsers – members have limited accessibility

In order to use these roles, they must be created in WebLogic's administration console, and then

optionally create new users or use existing users to be associated with these groups.
