JDeveloper 12c 12.1.3 - Adding Mobile Application Framework (MAF) to SOA/BPM Quick Install

To add the Mobile Framework extension, you will have to install the the following:

1. Mobile Application Framework JDeveloper Patch
2. Mobile Application Framework Extension

Follow the following steps:

1. Download the MAF JDeveloper patch through JDeveloper's Check for Updates
2. Don't restart JDeveloper, rather just close it after the download has completed.
3. Find the folder 12.1.3.0.0 under the users home directory. Under Windows it is under /users/user/AppData/Roaming/jdeveloper, under Unix it is under user home directory/.jdeveloper
4. Delete the 12.1.3.0.0 and the system12.1.3* directories.
5. Start JDeveloper and wait for the patch to be applied.
6. Download the MAF Extension
7. Stop JDeveloper
8. Delete the same directories as in step 4, as well as the tmp directory and any *.txt files in the jdeveloper folder
9. Start JDeveloper
10. It might pop up with a warning that a serious error occured, just ignore and restart JDeveloper to get rid of the error.

To specify the JDeveloper 'system' directory, you can also set an environment variable JDEV_USER_HOME 

Hostless Agent in EM12c

If you encounter an agent without any associated 'host' with it, and you did a manual installation of your agent, using '12.1.0.3.0_AgentCore_xxx.zip' file, you probably missed the required plugins. These plugins can be found in the '12.1.0.3.0_PluginsOneoffs_xxx.zip' file. Copy this zip file into the same directory where you extracted the AgentCore zip file, before installing the agent. Both of these archives can be extracted from the command line tool emcli, for example :

emcli get_agentimage -destination=/home/oracle/agent_inst -platform="Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)" -version=12.1.0.3.0
