Applies to: Oracle Mobile Application Server - Version 12.0 to 12.2.3 [Release 12.0 to 12.2] Information in this document applies to any platform. Symptoms The Oracle Mobile Applications (MSCA/WMS) Graphical User Interface Whitepaper found in Note: 294670.1 was written for 11i. Here are the instructions to installing the GUI Client Patch on R12. This includes R12.0.x, 12.1.x, and 12.2.x Changes Installing the MWA GUI on R12.x Cause
New install of R12.x Solution As a general Reference: Note: 294670.1 Oracle Mobile Applications (MSCA/WMS) Graphical User Interface The "Oracle Mobile Applications Graphical User Interface Client White Paper" was originally produced for the 11i Oracle Applications, but the instructions in the 11i version of the document's applies to 12.x as well with the following modifications.
Since there are multiple GUI patches, we'll use Patch: 16231495 as an example for this note. This is the patch recommended by MWA development at this time for R12.x instances.
1. Download Patch: 16231495 to your test PC or handheld device/gun and test with this patch. NOTE: Even if the patch says that it is for Linux, it will work just fine on the Windows desktop or your handheld device.
2. Refer to $INST_TOP/admin/scripts, $INST_TOP/admin/install instead of $MWA_TOP/bin, $MWA_TOP/secure as documented in the White Paper.
3. In 11i there is a Server side patch, but no server side patch is needed in R12 - in other words, do not attempt to apply the server side patch 4178862 to your R12 Oracle Applications.
4. In the Whitepaper references to Client Patch 4205328 should be replaced with your Client Side GUI patch number 16231495.
5. Please download and place the "com.zip" file, that is attached to this note, and place it in the %MWA_GUI_TOP%\lib on your PC or device. 6. Here is an example of the startup command. The Java command path must be all on one line. Extra spaces will create problems when running the command. The following is a Script Example of MWA GUI on Client PC running Applications 12.X: set MWA_GUI_TOP=C:\mwagui set JAVA_TOP="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_27" %JAVA_TOP%\bin\java -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -classpath C:\mwagui\lib\j16231495_3p.zip;C:\mwagui\lib\j16231495_fnd.zip;C:\mwagui\lib\j16231495_ mwa.zip;%MWA_GUI_TOP%\lib\com.zip oracle.apps.mwa.awt.client.StartGUI
Also, another example of the startup command is given in Section 10 of note: MWA Troubleshooting Tips for Release 12 (Doc ID 782162.1) NOTE: There are no known issues with JRE 1.7.0_X with MWA.
