Finding Oracle product end of support info.

Hi,
Is there a place on this site where I can find information about how long Oracle products (specifically Oracle 8i) will be supported? I know that for 8i the end of support is probably a long way off, but this information is important so that I can create a roadmap for database upgrades.
Thanks,
Bennett

Desupport notices can ba accessed through Metallink. BTW Desupport of 8.17 is:
Desupport End Dates:
Error Correction Support (ECS): 31-DEC-2003
Extended Support (ES): 31-DEC-2006
Extended Maintenance Support (EMS): 31-DEC-2005

How to find oracle archieved products

Hi
I want to download Oracle Forms 6i for all OS(Vista). here is a link http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/index.html which everybody say we can find Oracle Forms6i. But i feel that now its difficult to find archieved products. If any body has info on how to find Oracle forms 6i download link please reply.
thanks a lot

Oracle Forms 6i (6.0.8) is obsolete and no longer supported. It was also never certified to be installed on Vista or any of the newer OSs. The likelihood that you will experience problems installing on those platforms is quite high and is not recommended. That said, if you really would prefer to use an obsolete product you can still download it for a limited time here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/forms/htdocs/winsoft.html
I do not know how long this URL will remain available as we are slowly cleaning up all of the old references to now unsupported products.

Oracle To End Support for Java 7

No More Free Updates for Java 7 after April 2015
Users must sign long-term support deals or migrate to Java 8 to avoid 'enormous headache and disruption to millions of applications'
Public updates for Java 7 -- including bug and security fixes -- will end this month, a situation that one security advocate says could impact millions of applications.
"As outlined in the Oracle JDK [Java Development Kit] Support Roadmap, after April 2015, Oracle will not post further updates of Java SE [Standard Edition] 7 to its public download sites," Oracle's Java SE Support Roadmap states. "Customers who need continued access to critical bug fixes and security fixes as well as general maintenance for Java SE 7 or older versions can get long-term support through Oracle Java SE Support. The process of migrating users from Java 7 to Java 8 through the auto update feature is expected to take place after the January 2015 CPU release."

Oracle released Java SE 7 in July 2011; Java SE 8 was released in March 2014. Java, particularly on the client side, has been beset by security issues in recent years. But Oracle has taken many steps to address the issues and stressed that most of the problems dated back several years, before Oracle took over Java from Sun in 2010.
Still, the impact of Oracle's cessation of public updates could be severe, an official at security firm Waratek, believes. Oracle's "rapid" end-of-life schedule for Java versions is great for innovation and language evolution, Waratek CTO John Matthew Holt said in an emailed statement. "However, there is a dangerous tradeoff; now millions of Java 7 applications will have to defend themselves against code-level vulnerabilities without the benefit of future fixes." Holt advocates either upgrades to Java 8 or use of Java Run-time Application Self Protection (RASP) technologies (Waratek is a RASP vendor).
This week's security update from Oracle, meanwhile, marks the "proverbial 'end of the road' for Java 7 application security, Holt said. "After today, the only version of the Java Platform which will receive public security updates is Java 8. This is huge news, and it is going to cause enormous headache and disruption to millions of application owners around the world."
Contacted Tuesday afternoon for a comment on the end of public updates for Java SE 7, by late evening Oracle had not yet responded.
The April 2015 Critical Patch Update released Tuesday by Oracle provides 98 new fixes for security issues across a wide range of product families, said Eric Maurice in an Oracle blog post. These range from Oracle Database to Oracle Fusion Middleware, Java SE, and MySQL. Fourteen of the security fixes are for Java SE.

Java 7 has already been dead for quite a while. While you could still use it for Java apps on your system, Apple blocked its use in browsers long ago. You have to install version 8 if you need Java support for the web.

Solaris Container Support for Oracle Products

Hi,
Is there a special list about which Oracle products support Solaris Containers? Or can I assume that all products support the container technology?
I cant find any related information on this...

We run Oracle databases and application servers without any problems.
In the licencing documentations zones are explictly mentioned as capped zones are supported to partition a system.
So if you have an eight-core maschine but give the zone only one, you have only to licence this core.
Have a look at this document
http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/partitioning-070609.pdf
As said before if your software does not need low level access to the hardware or the kernel (as eg. a backup server or a nfs server) it should run fine into a zone.

We are in urgent need of the end of support date for Firefox 3.6. I have been unable to find this information anywhere. Can someone please provide the date, or a link to the location on the Mozilla web site for lifecycle dates?

We are currently supporting an older application which will no longer be patched for future browser releases. We need the end of support date, so we can plan accordingly. Any assistance is truly appreciated.

Hi Tony, and thanks for the reply. I was hoping that might be the case.
Does Mozilla not publish lifecycle dates for Firefox? The reason I am inquiring further, is that our intention is to have upgraded the product we are currently running by late August of next year. I was trying to determine if 3.6 would be supported through August of 2012. I probably should have been more specific with my initial post.

Oracle Customer Hub - where do I find the product to download?

I know this sounds dumb.... but I've searched the OTN Downloads, and Edelivery but where can I go to download a trial version of Oracle Customer Hub (OCH) and Oracle Product Hub (OPH)?

Hello,
You can only find the Customer Data Hub (CDH) & Product Information Management (PIM) in Oracle supplied patches. Try to login to metalink and find the relevant information. Following are some information on CDH & PIM installation. Hope this helps:
Customer Data Hub Installation
The Customer Data Hub solution is a composite of core Trading Community Architecture (TCA) functionality as well as the Oracle Customers Online (OCO) and Customer Data Librarian (CDL) applications. In order to gain the most benefits out of the Customer Data Hub, it is recommended that implementing organizations install the 11i10 Financials Family Pack G as well as the latest TCA and Oracle Customers Online/Oracle Customer Data Librarian patch sets. These releases have been optimized for the Customer Data Hub.
The following two sections outline the optimal and minimum baselines for implementing the Customer Data Hub. Note that as CDH functionality is continually enhanced throughout future releases, the recommended baseline will be modified to reflect the latest in CDH patch set levels.
11i10 Financials Family Pack G Baseline
This document assumes the following baseline, and refers to the features available at this level:
11i10 Financials Family Pack G – 11i.FIN_PF.G (3653484)
HZ.N (3618299)
IMC.M (4017594)
Oracle 10g Database
Minimum Baseline
The following is the minimum baseline for a Customer Data Hub(for more information, see the appropriate Oracle Customer Data Hub Implementation Concepts and Strategies document version):
11i9 Financials Family Pack D – 11i.FIN_PF.D (3016445)
HZ L (3036401) + 12.0.2 consolidated roll up (3295400) + Bulk Import Consolidated Patch (3597225)
IMC K (3161885)
Oracle 9i Database
Product Data Hub
There is no comparable list for Product Information Management Data Hub (PIMDH), because that entity is only a license mechanism to gain the right to install PIM DL on a non E-Business Suite (EBS) instance. You do not install anything under a license of PIM DH,
you install only PIM DL.
You will need to install PLM family pack 'E' (Patchset 11i.PLM_PF.E - 4203793) on top of the 11.5.10 installation (11.5.10 contains family pack 'C'), for DNA to show up in the License Manager, and for you to 'activate' it for your install.
The following Metalink Note has the details of the pre- and post- install instructions.
Note *309187.1* About the Oracle Product Lifecycle Management Family (Family Pack E)
R12 Patches
Oracle Product Information Management Feature Pack Release 12.0 (Patch 6474795)

In addition to Joe's questions regarding if you don't know the answer, then how do you know you want the job .......
Regarding job titles:
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."
(Lewis Carroll - Through the Looking Glass)
And so it is with job titles. Any given job title means only and exactly what the organization chooses it to mean -- "neither more nor less".
Even though we work in a technical industry, not every term you see has a universal, fixed, immutable, technical meaning. Not even close.
My first two jobs in IT were in shops that had exactly the same set of job titles for Programmers --
- Programmer/Analyst I
- Programmer/Analyst II
- Programmer/Analyst III
In one shop, the Programmer/Analyst III was the most junior of the three.
In the other, the Programmer/Analyst III was the most senior of the three.
So, you tell me, what is a "Programmer/Analyst III"? What is a "development DBA"? What is a "production support DBA"?

EJB support in Oracle products

I'm curious. Since current Oracle products only support session
beans and not entity beans, what can be done with just the
session beans? I would love to be able to get the full
utilization of EJB, but would have to acquire "a whole nother"
server (like WebLogic) for that. I understand that the next
releases of Oracle products (such as JDeveloper 3) will have
full support for entity beans, but what am I to do until then?
Would it be wise to develop session beans that directly access
databases instead of the entity beans? It doesn't make much
sense to me.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi
JDeveloper 2.0 (which is in Producition) allows you to create
either session or entity beans (EJB) from the EJB Wizard. But
there is no deployment support yet. The next release of Oracle8i
will have support for Entity beans.

Well, tomorrow (31th) is the last day for 9.2, hope you planned well ;-)
Please see the Lifetime support policy document.
Note that you can hang on another year, if you are on 9.2.0.8.
"For supported customers, the Extended Support fee for Oracle9i Database Release 9.2 has been waived for the period August 1, 2007 to July 31, 2008. During this period, you will receive access to generally available fixes and critical patch updates (CPUs) at no additional cost other than your fees for Software Update License & Support (or any successor technical support offering to Software Update License & Support). Effective August 1, 2007, fixes and CPUs will be created against Oracle Database version 9.2.0.8 only."

Oracle product not supported on Vmware virtual environment

Members,
Oracle certification says Oracle products running on Vmware virtual environment are not supported.
One of my development Identity manager setup is running on Vmware virtual environment.
As of now application is running fine and I am getting support from Oracle on product issues.
Can anyone suggest what could be the impact of this in future and what types of issues I can expect in future.
Thanks,
S M

Could you verify this behaviour outside a VMware virtual machine?
If yes, then please open an SR on Metalink to let support diagnose.
Provide an RDA, AWR snapshot if you have licensed the Diagnistic Pack - if not than provide STATSPACK snapshots.
Sorry - but this is a database upgrade forum :-)
Regards
Mike

Find which devices are End of Support

Is there a way to show devices that have passed the End of Support date?

Yes - there are several ways to find this information within SNTC. We refer to this information as LDOS "Last Day of Support".
One way to do this is to generate a report called the "Contract Management Report (CMR)". In this report, there is a sheet that is called LDOS. The LDOS sheet will tell you all the devices that are past LDOS.
If you need help generating a CMR report, please see the how-to-videos.

End of Support Oracle Identity Manager 10g

Hi,
Any idea on end of support for OIM 10g (9.1x) version?
Till what month can we sell and implement the OIM 10g version?
Please let me know.
Cheers
Kunal jain

Hello,
Considering the architectural change (reconciliation engine, request flow, etc...) and the environment - the migration path doesn't look very easy.
I think there is enough time in terms of couple of years available before 10g support closure.
Thanks,
