3. Select Oracle CEP Application Library Path.

4. Specify the application library path as Table 24–1 describes.

24.3.1.1 How to Configure an Absolute Path

You can specify the application library path as an absolute file path. It may be more convenient in a team environment to specify the application library path based on a path variable as Section 24.3.1.2, How to Extend a Path Variable describes. To configure an absolute path: 1. Click the Browse button to open a file system browser. 2. Use the file system browser to choose a directory.

3. Click OK.

Table 24–1 Oracle CEP Application LIbrary Path Option Description Use an absolute path Select this option to specify an absolute file path to the application library directory. See Section 24.3.1.1, How to Configure an Absolute Path . Extend a path variable Select this option to specify an application library path based on a path variable. See Section 24.3.1.2, How to Extend a Path Variable . Note: The directory must reside within an Oracle CEP server domain.

5. Click OK.

24.3.1.2 How to Extend a Path Variable

You can specify the application library path by extending a path variable. This is the most flexible approach and is appropriate for team environments. Alternatively, you can specify the application library with an absolute path as Section 24.3.1.1, How to Configure an Absolute Path describes. To extend a path variable: 1. Click the Variable button. The Select Path Variable dialog appears as Figure 24–3 shows. Figure 24–3 Select Path Variable Dialog

2. Click New.

The New Variable dialog appears as Figure 24–4 shows. Figure 24–4 New Variable Dialog

3. Configure the New Variable dialog as

Table 24–2 describes. Table 24–2 Oracle CEP Application LIbrary Path Variable Option Description Name Enter a name for the variable. Location Click the Folder button to open a file system browser and choose the root directory to use as the application library directory. NOTE: The directory must reside within an Oracle CEP server domain. For more information, see Section 5.2, Creating Oracle CEP Servers Assembling and Deploying Oracle CEP Applications 24-17

4. Click OK.

The new variable appears in the Select Path Variable dialog as Figure 24–5 shows. Figure 24–5 Select Path Variable: With Variable

5. Optionally, select the variable and click Extend.

The Variable Extension dialog appears as Figure 24–6 shows. This dialog shows any directories below the root directory you specified for this variable. Figure 24–6 Variable Extension Dialog

6. Select a sub-directory and click OK.

The application library path is specified relative to the path variable you defined as Figure 24–7 shows.
