Upgrading Sun JRE with Oracle Applications 11i.

I will focus on the upgrade process itself - step by step.

I tested the upgrade on the following test environment:
EBS 11.5.10.2

Database 10.2.0.3

ATG Rollup 5

Developer 6i patchset 18

OS RHEL4.

Be aware that before upgrading to Java Plug-in you must upgrade to Developer 6i patchset 18 or

later (currently the latest patchset is 19).

* You can use my previous post in order to Upgrading Developer 6i with Oracle Apps 11i to
patchset 18.


Download JRE plug-in Oracle E-Business Suite interoperability patch - 6863618

Download the Sun JRE Plug-in

Select Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update X (select the latest available update,

currently it’s 5)

Select Windows offline installation, multi-language

Rename the downloaded installation file jre-6_uX-windows-i586-p.exe to j2se1600x.exe In my

case rename jre-6_u5-windows-i586-p.exe to ==>> j2se16005.exe

Copy the j2se1605.exe file to $COMMON_TOP/util/jinitiator on the Apps Tier node

If you are on Developer 6i patchset 18 you should apply forms patches 6195758 & 5884875. **

Skip this step if you are on Developer 6i patchset 19.
