Additional libraries needed in PSU510 for running FDMEE Scripts in IDEs

Hi all,

I have received some emails regarding issues when running FDMEE scripts either from Eclipse or Notepad++ after PSU510 was applied.

We have already discussed about how to run FDMEE scripts in different IDES:

• PyDev for Eclipse
• Notepad++

Ok, if you try to run your FDMEE script which has the following initialization code:

You will get an error :-(

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/core/ojdl/logging/ODLLogger

Let's see it when executing from Notepad++: 

It seems that we need an additional library apart from the two stated in the documentation:

(\EPM_ORACLE_HOME\products\FinancialDataQuality\lib)

• aif-apis.jar
• aif-custom.jar

Which is that library? after googling we go it: ojdl.jar
We can search for it in our EPM environment and we will notice there are many libraries with that name.
I just picked up the one located in:

E:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\loggers\ODL\1.0.0\lib

Good, library is added so I run it again...woops...another error!

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Layout

It seems that log4j logger is missing as well. Library can be also found in:

E:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\loggers\Log4j\1.2.14\lib

Finally, after adding the two libraries, it's working again :-)

If you are using Notepad++:

Or if you are Eclipse fan:

So it seems that PSU510 does not include references to loggers so add them and make it work!

Regards
