How long is Oracle 9 supported?

Hello,
Do you guys happen to know how much longer Oracle 9 is supported? This is in regards to making a decision for an application upgrade to either Oracle 9 or Oracle 10 compatible version.
Ideally 10 would be the most suggested, but it is available on a beta version of the application, which could be risky unless adequately tested prior to implementation.
Thanks.

Thanks. Yes I am referrring to 9.2, I guess that is
the last version in the 9 serries. Since Oracle released 10.1.x and 10.2.x your assumption is correct.
I may not have access to the document that you
mentioned. It would be good though if you could send
some links that I could refer to.Without access to metalink, links referring to that document won't be of any use for you. And I'd assume that I'm not allowed to post the mentioned document (or any other) from metalink.
Bottom line of that document: For 9.2.0.x, Premier Support ends (probably) on 1st of July 2007, Extended Support (again probably) on 1st of July 2010. Maybe it's time for you to contact your local Oracle Support/Sales Office?

  • How long is Oracle Forms/Developer Suite to be supported?

    Hi.
    I'm just curious how long Oracle are committed to supporting or creating new versions of Oracle Forms Developer / Developer Suite. I've heard, from one or two sources, that the intention is to abandon forms, and move the focus completely to Jdeveloper some time soon...
    Is this true? does anyone know anything different?

    Here we are again whith that question...
    I'm a senior forms developer (and to make a little humour i've just recently learned designer...)
    I think the confusion comes also from "J2EE Application Development for Forms and Designer Developers" which can make us thinking oracle is pushing up to J2EE and prepare us for the Dead of Forms RIP ...
    And also that forms developer like me are a little bit afraid because they probably have no skills in J2EE.
    But for me it is clear now.
    There is no reason to migrate Forms to J2EE with whatelse tool can be sell to you.
    I tried some demos in the past with such tools and it makes me laugh, converting a simple master detail forms dept/emp.
    What can such tools make with very complex forms and logic ?
    But the question is if I had to create a new application will i still do it with Forms ?
    And the answer (for me) is no, especially when I see what the next Jdeveloper 11g will be able to do (I tried the fusion order demo and i was really impressed)
    You say "I've invested so much time in learning, and becoming proficient at Oracle Forms..."
    And so did I but I bought the book "Oracle JDeveloper 10g for Forms and PL/SQL Developers" and I study it page after page to enter the ADF world and upgrade my knowledge.
    So Forms or J2EE it is your choice and i will not post the link to the SOD (francois did it) but Forms can also live in a SOA world http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10gR2/forms-soa-wp.pdf
    but we, forms developers, we must not only focus on forms and its death, but also go ahead and invest so much time we did to learn forms in learning J2EE, BPEL and etc etc.
    Hope this can help
    Jean-Yves
    ps : relating to older post, forms was dead each time a new version of the appServer was comming :o)

  • How long until Oracle posts BPM Suite bundle definition and costs???

    Alright... how long do we have to wait until Oracle officially posts what is in the BPM Suite and updates the price list? The current web site contents certainly don't have the up to date BPM Suite product bundle correctly identified. The May price list still has the price over $115K which can't be right since I also need the SOA Suite. I have run into multiple Oracle sales reps who all gave me different answers. Anyone else care to know this information with some clarity and want to chime in asking Oracle to make it clear?

    Hi Kyle,
    I really understands your concern.With some limited feature with BPM composer it is best to start building BPM Process first from using Jdeveloper.
    They we can move to web form which will give an more insight into BPM.
    Please prepare to have some knowledge on ADF too. Its simple

  • How to determine how long an Oracle patch will take to complete?

    Hello,
    Does anybody know of a way as to how to determine how long a certain Oracle patch will take when it is applied?
    Regards.

    Another thing to consider is if the patch does any data conversion/inserts/updates/validation/etc. Running a patch against a small test instance with 100 users and 10,000 invoices may take considerably less time than it does against a production size instance with 22,000+ users and millions of invoices.
    We try to test every patch against a production size test instance prior to implementing it into production.

  • How long AEM will be supported on Jboss 5?

    I have looked into support note AEM 5.6 is supported both on Jboos 5.1 and Jboss 7.1. Jboss 5.1 supports end of this year ( 2013) so we are wondering if AEM will stop supporting jboss 5.1 end of this year ?

    You are asking a question, which affects both product strategy and product support, so I don't think, that you get a valid answer here. For me this isn't the right channel to ask such fundamental support questions like this

  • How long has wacom pen support been broken for.

    I remember that 6 months ago, resizing and pen support on wacom tablets using windows 8 was broken and lagged like crazy unless you turned off window ink, which means you lose pressure sensitivity. 6 months later I find out this is still the case. Are you guys for real?
    Is there any intention of ever fixing this before we remove our photoshop software for something that actually works.
    Before you go blaming Wacom and other tablet makers again, or telling people pointless stuff like checking if there's dust in their pen. Wacom said this has nothing to do with their tablet or driver. And I can confirm this, because only PS has broken wacom support.

    Just a clarification in general:

  • How long Oracle plans to support Forms/Reports 6i ?

    Hello dear Oracle Forms users/developers,
    The "Oracle Forms: Features Obsolescence for Release 9i", which I downloaded from OTN, clearly indicates that the client-server runtime will be obsolete in 9i, and (quote) "users who currently deploy their application in a client-server environment and who wish to upgrade to 9i will have to Web-deploy their application as part of the upgrade process" (page 3). It also indicates that Oracle Graphics will not be shipped with Forms 9i. If someone needs Graphics, then Graphics 6i (not 9i) need to be installed into a separate Oracle_Home...
    I have been trying to convince some Oracle product managers for years to continue supporting the runtime environment. Oracle always refused to include the "runtime only" installation option for any flavor of unix (eventhough it was available for windows).
    The above news (of the fading away of client-server runtime option) really did upset me.
    We have been developing applications with Oracle Forms/Reports/Graphics for the client-server environment as the database frontend to different simulation models. Our forms includes buttons that allows the end-users to download/upload ascii files to the file system/database. We and our customers (including the international users) are very happy with the client-server runtime option and don't want to use the forms server (or the iAS) just to be able to run these complex forms/reports/graphics applications.
    Oracle keeps telling people that it will be cheaper to move to iAS and serve the forms via iAS forms services. For small size client-server applications this is absolutely not true. We are an Oracle partner and I have discussed the licensing issues with them and am aware of the deploying costs. Let me tell you couple of things:
    1. Oracle forms/reports services included only in the enterprise version of 9iAS, not the standard version.
    2. If the end-user is licensed for Oracle database server and has a copy of Forms/Reports Developer 6i, then they can run the client-server application without any extra license (number of users does not apply in this case).
    3. Forms/Reports Developer 6i is not a separate product and could be obtained by purchasing iDS (internet Developer Suite) or iAS EE license. iDS is a windows only product and includes designer 6i, Jdeveloper additional to the forms/reports developer 6i. Someone might say, "the end-user might not need all the extra just to be able to run your forms". Answer to that is the cost of purchasing a 2 years license for iDS is almost equal or cheaper than the cost of 2 years named user license (based on the fact that 9iAS EE has a 10 named user minimum requirement). And the end-user can install only the forms/reports part of iDS (given the fact that forms/reports 6i is available for different platforms including solaris - does not have to be windows).
    4. This information if from the Oracle Partnership and any Oracle employee which doubts about it should talk to them to verify.
    Here are my questions:
    ========================
    Given all these FACTS (our satisfaction level with the client-server environment with Forms/Reports Developer 6i and the licensing information) I would like to ask to those Oracle employees (or personnel) how they justified the termination of the client-server runtime in Forms 9i?
    If the Forms/Reports Developer 6i will be the only (and the last) version that supports client-server runtime environment, how long Oracle is going to support it?
    I need to know to decide if we should use the forms/reports in our future projects or not.
    Thank you (for reading all this crap) and best regards.
    Zafer AKTAN
    Oracle DBA/Developer

    Question 1
    I would like to ask to those Oracle employees (or personnel) how they justified the termination of the client-server runtime in Forms 9i?
    This descicion was made from feedback from our customers. Feedback from the Forms Customer Advisory Board and the Oracle Developer Tools Group (ODTUG) indicated that they are 1)in the process of moving their client-server applications to the web, 2)have already moved to the web, 3)are looking at web stategies and 4)this is also the direction that Oracle Applications division is taking.
    It is proven that while liscencing for the web may not be cheaper in itself, the total cost of ownership is cheaper with web deployment once you figure in the ease of maintanence, deployment, and configuration.
    Question 2
    If the Forms/Reports Developer 6i will be the only (and the last) version that supports client-server runtime environment, how long Oracle is going to support it?
    Yes, Forms 6i is the last version to support client-server runtime. 6i will be patched through 2006 with extended support through 2008.

  • I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and Aperture 2.1.4 will no longer open.  I cannot access my photos and I don't want to pay for latest version of Aperture since this application is no longer going to be supported.  How can I get my pictures?

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and Aperture 2.1.4 will no longer open.  I cannot access my photos and I don't want to pay for latest version of Aperture since this application is no longer going to be supported.  How can I get my pictures?

    If you want just the originals, then you can go into the Aperture library (right click on it and do "show package contents"). Inside is a directory called "Masters" and you can find the original files in a bunch of subfolders.
    But... you'll lose all adjustments, keywords, and other information, and just have the files as they were imported originally from the cameras.
    Easiest is probably to buy Aperture and update everything, and then migrate to the Photos application down the road if that's what you want. Aperture 3.0 came out in 2010 (five years ago!) so it's not like you've upgraded in a while

  • How long does Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 support?

    Hi,
    How long does Microsoft SBS 2008 (Vista like server installation)? At what time we have to upgrade our server?
    Thanks,

    Hi Eddy,
    Below article take you to support like cycle of SBS 2008.
    http://support2.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=13231
    You will not see exact support date mentioned here as the underlying component is a Windows 2008 server and if you take windows 2008 the extended support is still the year 2020 as per the below Microsoft article.
    http://support2.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=12925
    and life cycle of various Microsoft products can be cross checked at the below reference article:
    http://support2.microsoft.com/gp/lifeselectserv?wa=wsignin1.0
    Upgrade ?
    I suggest you to plan upgrade based on your requirement ? What applications you are using on existing environment and what user need you are expecting ? based on these you need to plan whether you need to migrate to a new platform or not ? Also you need
    to decide which version of Windows you want to migrate ? SBS version ? or Non SBS versions ( I mean other than SBS family).

  • How far does Oracle Support extend?

    Hi,
    I have a problem determining how far I am covered by oracle support in a particular circumstance. I intend to use the DMBS_LDAP package to connect to a CAS authentication server.
    1. Am I covered by Oracle Support in this scenario?
    2. If I am covered, to what extent?/what cover will be provided?
    Thanks,
    JIM

    Justin and Billy, from what you have implied. Oracle will support their services to the nth degree, providing there is proof of bug.
    Obviously the do not support third party tools. However, Oracle will not refuse support on the issue if I am connecting to a non-oracle product, such as in the scenario I described.Almost. You also need to show that the bug in the Oracle s/w is not caused by a "3rd party" s/w or unsupported/non-certified configuration combinations.
    For example, last time I looked Oracle 11.2.x RAC was not certified for VMware. It is certified for OL5.x. So what happens regarding support when you run into a RAC error on OL5.x in a VMware VM? Had this discussion with an Oracle VP last year and he said along the lines of that support will be willing to assist, to the extent of certified o/s support, running on VMware - but should they suspect that virtualisation is the cause (or part of the problem), then one cannot expect support.
    So in your case - if you do a DBMS_LDAP search and that crash and burn, Oracle will support that if it is a bug. However if you tried a funky method outside the LDAP specs against a proprietary half-baked implementation of LDAP, then you are on your own.
    Anyway, that is my understanding of the issue...
    FWIW, been using DBMS_LDAP for some years now against Microsoft Active Directory (authentication and SSO integration, and dealing with escalations and so on that needs organigram data) - no issues. DBMS_LDAP works fine against AD in our case.

  • How long does it usually take to get added raw support (nex5n)?  i pretty much just use aperture 3 and love it but why does lightroom from adobe seem to get raw support faster than Apple's Aperture 3.  Also FCPX lacks v Adobe on 60p.

    How long does it usually take to get raw support for Aperture 3?  Is it slowed by Apple or camera company.  I only ask because Lightroom has support for nex5n raw but Aperture 3 does not.  Also direct import into Adobe premiere  and ability to edit in 60p.  However, support for 60 p not as easily worked with in FCPX.  I am just surprised Apple does not keep pace with these type of updates that Adobe does.  Don't get me wrong I love and use Apple software  when I can but I wish Apple was ahead of adobe in getting this support.  I guess more of a vent than a question.

    Yes, more of a vent.
    FWIW I agree. 
    Camera companies keep RAW specs confidential so firms like Apple and Adobe have to (sort of) reverse-engineer to develop RAW converters for each new camera. The good news is to my eyes/brain Apple usually does a slightly better job at it than Adobe does. The best RAW conversions (logically) come from the camera manufacturers.
    Apple gives up market share with slow support for new cameras. IMO really DUMB. It has at least been improving...

  • How long does it normally take to download the windows support software

    I am trying to use Boot Camp to install Windows 7 but the system seems to freeze during "Downloading Windows support software..."  Does anyone know how long this process normally should take?

    600MB so should, 10 minutes max, real? too long by 8 hrs
    this is what "support for Windows on Mac" ever since.it went to a DL service
    Compare that to 1000s of people installing Lion, iOS and other updates
    and that no change or improvement in months and the yr since it was offered.
    This is what lack of having a DVD in part, or not just post forall Mac ownerslike any other motherboard vendor does for customers.ps I have had adl link but it is no longer current latest driver set I've been told.

    Using your case #, I would ask for a manager. Be polite but firm. You have waited way too long on this and Apple should give you something for your troubles. There have been instances where people have gotten bags, etc where Apple screwed up. It happens in every company. Make the case that you have been out of a computer all this time.
