Overview

The Oracle installation, with the OLAP option, provides all of the Oracle OLAP software that is required in the database and on its host computer. In addition, the Client installation provides jar files that are needed on the application development computer for creating an OLAP API client application.

As an application developer, you must complete the Client installation with the Administrator option, which copies these jar files to the computer on which you will write your Java application. In addition, you must ensure that supporting JDBC and Java files are available on the development computer.
