Readme File for the Oracle OLAP Java API Reference 11g Release 1 (11.1) ------------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW Oracle OLAP Java API Reference provides documentation for the classes in the Oracle OLAP Java API. This reference documentation is in HTML format, and was created using the javadoc tool that is distributed by Sun Microsystems. Oracle provides the OLAP Java API Reference HTML files in a single jar file, olap_api_doc.jar. The jar file is in the /olap/api/doc directory, where is the Oracle home directory created in an Oracle installation. This readme.txt file is in the same location. To have access to the documentation, extract the HTML files that the jar file contains, as described below. You can also add the jar file to an IDE such as Oracle JDeveloper and have access to the documentation through F1 Help. EXTRACTING THE HTML FILES To install the documentation on your application development computer, complete the following steps: 1. Locate the /doc subdirectory that is under the /olap/api directory on which the Oracle database with the OLAP option is installed. 2. Copy the /doc directory to a convenient location on your computer. This step also copies the files that reside in the directory. 3. Make the /doc directory on your computer the current directory. 4. Use the jar utility that is part of the JDK 1.5 from Sun Microsystems to extract the contents of the olap_api_doc.jar file to the current directory with a command such as the following: jar -xf olap_api_doc.jar You can also use some other tool, such as WinZip, to extract the contents of the olap_api_doc.jar file. Extracting the contents creates a multilevel hierarchy of subdirectories under the /doc directory and populates the subdirectories with HTML files.
