14.1 Introduction to Deploying Your Integrated Excel Workbook

After you finish development of your integrated Excel workbook, you make the final integrated Excel workbook available to end users by deploying the resulting Fusion web application to an application server. Before you deploy a finalized Excel workbook that integrates with the Fusion web application, you must publish it as described in Section 14.3, Publishing Your Integrated Excel Workbook. After you have published the Excel workbook, you can deploy it using one of the methods outlined in the Deploying Fusion Web Applications chapter of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Fusion Developers Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework. The end users that you deploy an integrated Excel workbook to must do the following: ■ Set up ADF Desktop Integration on their machines. Make the ADF Desktop Integration setup.exe tool available to end users from, for example, a directory on your network. For more information, see Section 14.2, Making ADF Desktop Integration Available to End Users. ■ If required, configure the security settings for their Excel application.

14.2 Making ADF Desktop Integration Available to End Users

End users who want to use the functionality that you configure in an integrated Excel workbook must install the Runtime edition of ADF Desktop Integration. The setup.exe tool is located in the adfdi-excel-runtime-client-installer.zip file available in MW_ HOME \oracle_common\modules\oracle.adf.desktopintegration_11.1.1 directory, where MW_HOME is the Middleware Home directory. 14-2 Desktop Integration Developers Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework For information about using the setup.exe tool, see Section I.1, Installing the Runtime Edition of ADF Desktop Integration.
