Installing Oracle B2B Document Editor 11g (11.1.1.1.0)

Oracle B2B Document Editor is an integral part of the Oracle B2B product. You may use Oracle B2B Document Editor to create and to implement guidelines for Oracle B2B custom document definitions.

In this post I will discuss that how to install Oracle B2B Document Editor. First of all you have to download Oracle B2B Document Editor (11.1.1.1.0) from here. Oracle B2B Document Editor runs on Microsoft Windows only so you will find installable for windows version only on the download link.


There are three zip files (total size is almost 4GB) which you need to download –

ofm_b2b_doc_editor_win_11.1.1.1.0_disk1_1of3.zip

ofm_b2b_doc_editor_win_11.1.1.1.0_disk1_2of3.zip

ofm_b2b_doc_editor_win_11.1.1.1.0_disk1_3of3.zip


Now right click on first zip file (ofm_b2b_doc_editor_win_11.1.1.1.0_disk1_1of3.zip) and extract it into a local directory. I extracted its content in D:\OracleB2BDocEditor


Similarly extract the content of other two zip files in the SAME (D:\OracleB2BDocEditor) directory. Now you should see below structure under directory D:\OracleB2BDocEditor –



Inside directory “D:\OracleB2BDocEditor\Multisetup”, you should be able to find below files –



Inside directory “D:\OracleB2BDocEditor\Oracle B2B”, you should be able to find below files –

 Inside directory “D:\OracleB2BDocEditor\Standards”, you should find below structure –


If above all is correct then run the “Install.exe” (D:\OracleB2BDocEditor\Install.exe). It would open up the Oracle B2B document editor installation wizard –


Select “Oracle B2B” and click on “Next”. It will take you to the screen where it will show all the operations which will be performed –


Click on “Next” and installshield wizard for Oracle B2B will get opened –




I changed the installation directory because on Vista you may face access issues if you install it in Program Files directory.


Once done with selection, click on “Install” and it should install Oracle B2B Document Editor in your machine.


Now Standards Installation will start automatically –




You may install the standards locally or a network drive (for sharing purpose). I installed them locally.


Now I will change the installation directory to a subdirectory of Document Editor Installation directory (it is an optional configuration. You may keep the default location value) –






Once done with selection, click on “Install” to install the standard.


Now you have to repeat above standard installation steps for each and every standard. Installation prompt will keep opening up one by one and you have to repeat the steps.

It may take almost 25 minutes to get all the standards installed. Once all the standards will get installed, you will be prompted with the result –



Make sure that “Result” is “Ok” for all operations. You are finish with the installation process now.


You may run “D:\OFMW11g\OracleDocEditor\SpecBuilder.exe” to start the Oracle B2B Document Editor.

    1. Hello Anuj,
      Do you have an updated version of the installation procedure for Oracle Document Editor?
      When I run install.exe at the top level, it install XML automotive. So I went into the Oracle Document Editor folder and ran setup.exe to install it.
      After I installed the latest version, it installed Oracle Document Editor 7.0.5.4016 and I run specbuilder.exe (powered by Edifecs) but the B2B healthcare tutorials don't match as this looks like a completely different version.
      Thanks a lot for all of your great help!

  5. Hi Anuj

    First of all Good work!
    I had been working on soa applications but never been to b2b.
    But now i need to work on b2b using 11g.

    Below is some information regarding our SOA environment.
    SOA suite 10.1.3.5
    AIA 2.5
    Machine - Sun
    OS - Solaris 10
    Database - Oracle 11gR2
    To talk to:
    SqlServer 2008
    Oracle EBS 11.5.10.2 (Datebase 10gR2)
    We have decided to run B2B on a 11G SOA install. We don’t have this up and running yet .

    So what are the components need to be installed for b2b in 11g?
    I had seen thru e delivery for
    Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack for Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit)
    got some downloads there,but i want to know which components to be installed,i had looked at some blogs saying b2bconsole,Oracle B2B Document Editor.

    I want to check with you what all are neccessary?

  6. Hi Bhushan,

    B2B is part of SOA Suite in 11g so you need to install Oracle SOA Suite 11g to use Oracle B2B. B2B Console is a web application which gets installed as part of SOA Suite itself.

    You have to install Oracle B2B Document Editor separately.

    So in short, to use Oracle B2B 11g, you need to install below two -

    Oracle SOA Suite 11g
    Oracle B2B Document Editor 11g

    Please raise a thread in Oracle B2B forum to discuss it in detail -

  8. You need to buy EDI adapter license to use Oracle B2B Document Editor 11g.

    1. Hi

      Do you know how the EDI adapter license works? Do you have to pay for each processor where SOA Suite runs, or do you just pay for the use of the Document Editor?

      Thanks

    2. Hi,

      Please contact your local Oracle Sales representative to understand about EDI licensing. With one EDI adapter license, you get unlimited Document Editor developer license.

      In short, you may install as many copies of Oracle B2B Document Editor as you want, if you have EDI adapter license.
