Overview

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Development Client (also known as a Web Development Client, "Fat" Client, Administrative Client, Windows client, or Workstation) contains components that run as standard Microsoft Windows applications (for example, Active Console, Forms Design Aid (FDA), and Report Design Aid (RDA)) and components that run in a web browser.

Note:

This document uses the following terminology when discussing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne clients:

  • Web Client

    Components that run in a web browser.

  • Development Client

    Composed of standard Windows components and Web Client.

The following are the supported Application Servers:

  • Oracle WebLogic Server (WLS)

  • IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) Express or WebSphere Application Server for Developers.

For Oracle WebLogic Servers, you should install the supported version as indicated by the Certifications for the Development Client. The version of the Web Client that is installed on WLS is WLSH4A.

Note:

Tools Release 9.2 Update 2. The existing installer H4A85 is renamed to WASH4A and is enhanced to support IBM WebSphere 9.0 along with existing support of IBM WAS 8.5.5.

For WebSphere Application Servers, you can choose to use WAS Express or WAS for Developers as the Application Server for the EnterpriseOne Web Client. Both products are similar; either one may be manually installed before installing the Web Client for WAS. Whereas WAS Express requires a licensing fee to IBM, WAS for Developers is free. The version of the Web Client that is installed on either WAS product is referred to by either of these names:

  • HTML for Applications, or

  • WASH4A

Caution:

The Web Client part of the Development Client runs inside an Application Server. Because the Development Client installer both configures and depends on them for some components, these Application Servers must be installed prior to installing the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Development Client.

The first time setup of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Development Client installer and installation package on an EnterpriseOne Deployment Server is described in a separate guide entitled: JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Server Reference Guide. This setup on the Deployment Server must be done before a user can install a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Development Client on a workstation. The installation package specifies the components to install and may or may not include the Web Client. To access the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Server Reference Guide, refer to the Installation and Upgrade Documentation library at this link:

Note:

This document uses the terms "deinstall " and "uninstall" interchangeably. The terms are synonymous and describe the removal of a product from your workstation.
