Windows and Mac-based desktop clients connecting to the E-Business Suite can use the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) plug-in to run Forms-based components. JRE 7 was certified with EBS 11.5.10.2, 12.0, and 12.1 in 2012. As of today, the latest available version is JRE 1.7.021 for and for. All new JRE releases on the 1.6 and 1.7 codelines are automatically certified with EBS on the day of their release. If you're reaching this article via a search engine, please check My Oracle Support or the summary for the latest desktop version available. Is now certified for E-Business Suite 12.0 and 12.1 application and database tier servers. Dear Guest, At present, we are not planning to certify JDK 7 with E-Business Suite 11i application tiers.

At the same time, if circumstances change, we could look into doing this certification at a future point in time. Please note that customers using JDK 6 with any release of Oracle E-Business Suite are fully supported in accordance with the Lifetime Support Policy of Oracle E-Business Suite. In addition, current plan is that important JDK fixes will continue to be provided on top of JDK 6, and available to customers with a valid Oracle E-Business Suite license, well beyond the December 2014 date.

Our colleagues in the Java team recently published Knowledge Document 1557737.1 titled 'Support entitlement for Java SE when used as part of another Oracle Product' to explain this in general terms. The document is available at the following link: Hope this helps. Regards, Tahir Ahmad Senior Director, Oracle Applications Technology Integration P.S. proud first time poster on Steven's blog.

Narayana is a customer. While I'm pleased to hear that he's happy with his own experiences, I need to stress that Oracle has not performed.ANY. testing of JDK 7 in EBS 11i environments. The E-Business Suite technology stack is comprised of over 150 components. Over 200 EBS products run on that technology stack. We support over 20 server-based operating systems, and over 400 desktop combinations. It is.GUARANTEED.

that customer testing is inadequate to make any assertions about compatibility. We strongly recommend that customers stick to our certified and documented configurations. In this particular case, JDK 6 is the latest version certified with EBS 11i. Customers should not deploy JDK 7 in production EBS environments in the absence of that certification. Regards, Steven Chan Oracle Applications Technology Group Oracle E-Business Suite Development. Hello, Chad, I'm sorry that you're encountering issues with this. We have many customers using JDK 7, and many customers using Payroll.

You're right: this has been certified for a long time. We have not had reports of this issue, so I would suspect - strictly on first principles - that the problem is probably configuration-related rather than rooted in JDK itself. I have escalated this to the owning Support team.

We will have Development work with them as needed. Please monitor your SR for updates. Regards, Steven.

Hi, Deepak, Alex, Both of you appear to be from the same company. You've both found a very old article from 2013. We certified JRE 8 with EBS last year - for desktop clients only. JDK 8 is not certified for EBS servers yet; you should stick with JDK 7 on your application and database tiers. You can always look up the latest certifications in My Oracle Support.

For convenience, I've published a one-page summary of all of the latest E-Business Suite techstack certifications externally here: Regards, Steven Name Please enter your name. Email Please provide a valid email address.

Oct 4, 2010 Update: Since this article was published last year, there have been several updates to the patches list for the respective Oracle Homes (10.1.2, 10.1.3 and 11.1.0.7) based on customer issues and internal testing. The Rapid Install content for those Oracle Homes has not been updated with the same updates. Hence, the patches delivered by the EBS 12.1.1 Rapid Install will not be the latest baselines available for those technology stack components.

If you use this Rapid Install method, you still will need to refer to the respective documents to apply the latest patches added after the EBS 12.1.1 Rapid Install was released. For pointers to those documents, see the individual listings for the respective techstack components in this. All three of the major new technology stack components included in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 are with Release 12.0. You could manually upgrade each of these R12.0 techstack components yourself. But now that Release 12.1.1 is out, why bother with that time-consuming approach when there's an easier and faster way?

You can use the EBS 12.1.1 Rapid Install to upgrade just the application and database tier technology stack components in your existing EBS 12.0 instance. Your technology stack components are upgraded to the same versions delivered with EBS 12.1.1 while leaving your EBS 12.0 product code (e.g.

Financials, Supply Chain) untouched. Running the Rapid Install with the -techstack option Using the rapidwiz -techstack option with the EBS 12.1.1 Rapid Install provides options to upgrade the applications and database tier components for the following ORACLEHOMEs:. Application Server 10g OC4J to 10.1.3.4 (Applications tier). Application Server10g Forms and Reports to 10.1.2.3 (Applications tier). Database Release 10gR2 to 11gR1 version 11.1.0.7 (software and configuration files only on the DB tier. DB upgrade and post install steps to be performed separately) From the first screen below, you can select the respective tier and proceed with the upgrade.

Upgrading the Database Technology Stack Before selecting the database tier technology stack upgrade, make sure that your environment meets the minimum operating system prerequisites for running the 11gR1 Database. If you choose the database tier upgrade, the wizard takes inputs for the Database host, Oracle SID, ORACLEHOME and OS user related inputs. It creates the new ORACLEHOME with the associated Release 12.1.1 patches for the 11gR1 11.1.0.7 Database. The installation then proceeds with installing the 11gR1 database software and the required configuration files for the E-Business Suite. After the installation and configuration is complete, you need to complete the remaining DB upgrade steps using Section 1 and Section 2 of.

Upgrading the Applications tier Technology Stack If you choose to upgrade your applications tier, the Rapid Install wizard requires the CONTEXT file for your existing configuration. Point the wizard to the Application tier context file for your applications tier, e.g.

Hi Prasad, Very good article, save lot of time.but i have a problem with this method. My system OUL5x64 r12 12.0.6 want to upgrade techstack from 10.1.2.0.2AS and 10.1.3.0.0 AS to 10.1.2.3 AS and 10.1.3.4AS the processes went exactly as the screens on this article and successful finished. When checking the AS versions in $ORACLEHOME/config/ias.propertiers (in 10.1.2 and 10.1.3 HOME) they are still in the old versions. Tried it again and got the same result. Would you please advise.

Thanks-Tom. Hi, Dominic, Our Applications Technology Group tells me that the only web services supported through the Integration Repository will be those generated via our SOA provider and deployed in the EBS OracleAS home. This is being targetted for a future EBS R12 release.

There are no current plans to support web services that are not generated and deployed by the EBS Integrated SOA Gateway. We do not currently plan to support the deployment of custom web services for a custom PL/SQL API via JDeveloper.

Hi, Mirza, I'm sorry to hear that you've encountered an issue with your upgrade. We can provide general conceptual guidance here, but I'm afraid that this blog isn't the best place to get technical support for specific issues like the one that you're working through.

I'd recommend escalating your existing SR to let Oracle Support know that it isn't proceeding to your satisfaction. Please feel free to forward your Service Request number to me if it gets stuck in the support process for some reason.

Regards, Steven. Hi steven You have not commented on my post, I would appreciate your reply. I have received also a reply from Oracle support stating your artcile is outdate and the following is the rest of their reply. Upgrade the Techstack via Rapidwiz is only of benefit if you're upgrading to that release level only. Rapidwiz -techstack will only install the versions that come with that release of EBS. I.e Upgrading from 12.0 to 12.1.1.

For 12.1.1, it will deliver: 10.1.2.2 10.1.3.3 As RapidWiz is not available for 12.1.2 or 12.1.3, the above 10.1.2.x levels are the latest versions that can be supplied by rapidwiz -techtack (12.1.1). This means the blog article is now out of date. It will not upgrade to the latest versions as the techstack homes are merely extracted/unzipped from the 12.1.1 Rapidwiz stage area onto the file system. Due to inventory registration restrictions, it is required that the new Homes are installed a new location. Using an existing location will overwrite the existing files, and inventory registration will fail because the home is already registered.

This will cause the OUI to terminate and will not configure those Oracle homes leaving symbolic links and files referencing an Oreacle internal system. If the inventory is not reconfgured, it will either not display any results or the results displayed would be inaccurate and not reflect the actual component versions installed.

If you need the latest 10.1.x patchset levels, then RapidWiz is not the best option as the homes will still need to be upgraded further. To upgrade existing 10.1 homes to the latest patchset levels, the following documents need to be followed: Note 437878.1 - Upgrading OracleAS 10g Forms and Reports in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12: Note 728531.1 - Upgrading to the OracleAS 10g 10.1.3.4 Patch Set in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12. This method could save our company a lot of time, but Oracle support is saying it is not supported for R12.0 to R12.1.1. Reference SR 3.

Can we have these steps documented in an official MOS note for sure, as suggested above? If so, can the new MOS note about turbocharging contain the complete list of techstack patches which RI 12.1.1 applies in the background, so that we can determine (without resorting to extensive detective work) which additional patches to apply from #437878.1 once the RI -techstack command is finished and successful? While waiting for the above, in the meantime is it possible to edit #752619.1 and add a link to this blog entry (and later the new MOS note) - at the place/position where RI -techstack would be run?

With the lack of official support, we are now following #752619.1 religiously, but this edit could allow us to revisit the issue once again in a future patching run. Thanks, Marvin. Name Please enter your name. Email Please provide a valid email address. Comment Please enter a comment.
