I recommend the following installation process.

Install the Oracle7 database,
then install the Developer/2000 tools,
then install the Project File from the Book,
then create and populate the CMIS tables,
then run the CMIS application.
Review and edit the \windows\oracle.ini paths if needed.


During the database installation SQL*Plus will be installed, as well as
the Oracle Demo database and other database administration utilities.

From Oracle Installer install the following Developer/2000 tools:
Oracle Installer 3.1.2.1.3
Developer/2000 - Database Tables 1.5.2.1.2
Developer/2000 - Forms 4.5.6.5.5F
Developer/2000 - Graphics 2.5.5.6.0J
Developer/2000 - Procedure Builder 1.5.5.7.0
Developer/2000 - Reports 2.5.4.0.8


The CMIS application will run without the CMIS tables being created or
populated, however error messages will result if any database operation
is attempted.

To create the CMIS tables follow these steps from the
Building the Project Database Only exercise in chapter 5.
	1.	Start the Oracle7 database.
	2.	Launch SQL*Plus.
	3.	Connect to the Oracle database as scott/tiger.
	4.	Execute the create script by typing the following:
start C:\DEV2000\SQL\MAKECMIS.SQL
	5.	Review the MAKECMIS.TXT file,
		to make sure there were no errors encountered.
	6.	If you find any errors in the text file,
		review them with the DBA.

Note: omit the C: or substitute the appropriate drive letter.


Then to populate the CMIS tables follow these steps from the
Populating the Project Database Only exercise in chapter 6.
	1.	Start the Oracle7 database.
	2.	Launch SQL*Plus.
	3.	Connect to the Oracle database as scott/tiger.
	4.	Execute the create script by typing the following:
start C:\DEV2000\SQL\POPCMIS.SQL
	5.	Review the POPCMIS.TXT file,
		to make sure there were no errors encountered.
	6.	If you find any errors in the text file,
		review them with the DBA.

Note: omit the C: or substitute the appropriate drive letter.

After you have installed the database, tools, project files, as well as
created and populated the CMIS tables you can run the CMIS application.
The CMIS application will be developed in this book, and can be started
by clicking on the CMIS icon in the Oracle Developer/2000 program group.



If you run the CMIS application from the installed project files and:

The icons do not appear on the buttons, change the \windows\oracle.ini
file as described in the Application Deployment section of chapter 15.

Some of the paths in the \windows\oracle.ini file need to be modified after
the database and tools have been installed, so that the CMIS application
will find all of the files it needs.

The changes are as follows:

Under the [FORMS45] group, append to the following paths:
(where <DRIVE> is C or D or whatever drive they installed to)

Append ;<DRIVE>:\DEV2000\LIBS to ORAPLSQLLOADPATH

Append ;<DRIVE>:\DEV2000\GRAPHICS to GRAPHICS25_PATH

Append ;<DRIVE>:\DEV2000\FORMS
and    ;<DRIVE>:\DEV2000\MENUS
and    ;<DRIVE>:\DEV2000\LIBS
and    ;<DRIVE>:\DEV2000\BITMAPS to FORMS45_PATH

Append ;<DRIVE>:\DEV2000\ICONS to TK21_ICON

Under the [REPORT25] group, append to the following path:
Append ;<DRIVE>:\DEV2000\REPORTS to REPORTS25_PATH


or

Encounter a runtime error that a library could not be attached. Open the
contact.fmb and customer.fmb form(s) in Oracle Forms Designer, then
re-attach the highlite.pll library, save, and generate the form(s).
(See the Library Exercise in Chapter 8,
and item 11.1 New Features in 4.5.6 in the Oracle Forms release notes)


All of the exercises in this book were developed with Oracle Forms 4.5.5.
At the time of publication the latest version of Oracle Forms was 4.5.6,
and it is provided on this CD-ROM.

The differences in versions include the following:

A menu with PL/SQL menu items with out any associated PL/SQL will not compile.
(See the Menu Exercise in Chapter 8)
The work around is to change the Command Type from PL/SQL to Null for the
following menu items: File->New, Edit->Edit, Edit->Cut, Edit->Copy,
and Edit-Paste.
This has been done in the standard.mmb file in \DEV2000\CHAP08.
