When you install Oracle Workflow Server or Oracle Workflow Builder, the Oracle Universal Installer copies a zip file containing the HTML help to the Workflow directory in your ORACLE_HOME.

On UNIX:

$ORACLE_HOME/wf/wfdoc252.zip

On Windows NT:

\<ORACLE_HOME>\wf\wfdoc252.zip

1. Use an unzip utility to extract the doc directory tree from the zip file within the Workflow directory.

Note: You need at least 4 Mb of free disk space to extract the zip file.

This creates the following subdirectories:

On UNIX:

	$ORACLE_HOME/wf/doc/<lang>/wf

	$ORACLE_HOME/wf/doc/<lang>/wfnew

	$ORACLE_HOME/wf/doc/<lang>/wfcust

On Windows NT:

	\<ORACLE_HOME>\wf\doc\<lang>\wf

	\<ORACLE_HOME>\wf\doc\<lang>\wfnew

	\<ORACLE_HOME>\wf\doc\<lang>\wfcust

Note: You can also install the doc directory tree on a PC file system. Create a directory for the HTML help on your PC. Then transfer the Workflow HTML help zip file \<ORACLE_HOME>\wf\wfdoc252.zip to the new directory on your PC. An unzip utility such as WINZIP from NicoMak can extract the doc directory tree from the zip file.

2. You can now optionally remove the zip file.

3. Add a virtual directory mapping to your web listener that points to this doc directory tree on your file system.

If you are using Oracle WebDB:

			http://<server_name>[:<portID>]/<DAD>/admin_/listener.htm

3.2 Refer to your Oracle WebDB documentation for details on how to add virtual directory mappings. Create the following virtual directory mapping for the Oracle Workflow doc physical directory tree:

On UNIX:

			Physical Directory                                        Virtual Directory

			$ORACLE_HOME/wf/doc/                                      /OA_DOC/

Attention: Be sure to add a trailing slash to each physical directory path and virtual directory name.

On Windows NT:

			Physical Directory                                        Virtual Directory

			<ORACLE_HOME>\wf\doc\                                     /OA_DOC/

Attention: Be sure to add a trailing backslash to the physical directory path and a trailing slash to the virtual directory name.

If you are using Oracle Application Server or Oracle Web Application Server:

3.2 Locate and select the Web HTTP listener you previously created from the list shown.

3.3 Go to the "Directory" or "Directory Mappings" section and add an entry for the doc directory tree you just installed:

On UNIX:

			File-System Directory            Flag    Virtual Directory

			$ORACLE_HOME/wf/doc/             NR      /OA_DOC/

For example:

			File-System Directory            Flag    Virtual Directory

			/oracle/db/wf/doc/               NR      /OA_DOC/

Attention: Be sure to add a trailing slash to each file-system and virtual directory name.

On Windows NT:

			File-System Directory            Flag    Virtual Directory

			<ORACLE_HOME>\wf\doc\            NR      /OA_DOC/

For example:

			File-System Directory            Flag    Virtual Directory

			c:\orant\wf\doc\                 NR      /OA_DOC/

Attention: Be sure to add a trailing backslash to each file-system directory name and a trailing slash to each virtual directory name.

3.4 Save your changes and then restart your Web Listener.

4. By adding the virtual directory mapping to your web listener, you can access the HTML help from the Help button on any Oracle Workflow web page. You can also access any HTML help file directly by appending the virtual path specified above to your web listener base URL.
