Transferring the DBC file from the application server

We will now transfer the database connection file (DBC) from the application server of our EBS environment. We will transfer this to our local directory so that we can create database connections for JDeveloper so that we can run our OAF pages locally during development.

How to do it...

To transfer the .dbc file, perform the following tasks:

1. Open WinSCP and connect to the application server.

2. FTP the .dbc file to your local PC from the $INST_TOP/appl/fnd/12.0.0.0/secure directory on the application server to the jdevhome\jdev\dbc_files\secure directory as shown in the following screenshot:

   

How it works...

The file contains the server and port details, and we will reference this file when we open up JDeveloper and create our database connection. We can put multiple .dbc files here if we want to connect to multiple instances on EBS, but...
