I was asked recently if there was a way to get the
orapki utility without having to install the entire
Fusion Middleware. The answer is yes, sort of. So if you need access to this utility but for some reason are not able to use the one that comes with your
application server, read on.
The easiest way I could think of doing this was to
download and install Oracle JDeveloper 12c on your desktop machine.
JDeveloper is free to use, though it is quite large coming in at a
~2Gb download.
Oracle JDeveloper is a free integrated development environment that simplifies the development of Java-based applications addressing every step of the application lifecycle.
JDeveloper offers complete end-to-end development for Oracle's platform and Oracle's applications.
Once
JDev is installed,
orapki can be found in the following locations:
The reason I said
'sort of' earlier is because
JDeveloper installs a copy of
Fusion Middleware for you. It's not quite the same as the one you get when you install a production version but for development it serves the same purpose.
When downloading
JDeveloper make sure to select the
'Studio' edition because the
'Java' edition doesn't include the middle tier and its tooling.
