HT202651 Is java required for OS X 10.10?

Is java required for OS X 10.10?

To disable the notifications, go to the "System Preferences" application and click java(5th row). It will then open the java control panel in a separate window. From there go to the update tab(2nd tab) and uncheck the "Check for Updates Automatically" box. A new window will appear asking you if you really want to disable automatic update checks. Click the "do not check" button to confirm. That's all there is to it. Hopefully it helps.

  • JAVA requirements for client PCs

    Hi All,
    we are implementing SAP CRM 2007 and of course want to use the new WebUI to access the system. Now especially for marketing scenarios, there seem to be a couple of applets integrated into the normal WebUI (e.g. "Campaign autmoation", "Graphical Modeler", etc).
    Can anybody tell me which version of the JAVA runtime is required to be installed on the client PCs using the WebUI ( not on the CRM server itself)? I am looking for the exact version number and a reference to official SAP documentation mentioning that.
    Thanks in advance
    Alexander

    Hi Stephen,
    thanks for guiding me to these SAP Notes, they were exactly what I was looking for.
    I will close this thread accordingly.
    Cheers

  • Java required for Yosemite? Is this correct?

    Just updated to Yosemite, and now I get messages about Java. Is this true and do I need to download it from Oracle, and not the App Store? Sounds unsafe.

    Java is not needed for Yosemite. Some third parties apps/websites do.
    Yes you can download directly from Oracle (Oracle bought Java from Sun)

  • Java.rmi.UnmarshalException: skeleton class not found but required for clie

    Hello everyone,
    I am new to RMI and getting a strange exception. I am using Java 1.5.0_07 both on client and server. They are running on the same machine, the rmi registry is started inside the server application.
    I am wondering why java complains about skeletons, I thought they are automatically created when using java 5.0?
    Please have a look at the stacktrace below.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Do we require Java stack for ADS?

    Hello Experts
    i am planning to work on Adobe forms on ECC6. Since it is our ECC system we don't have ABAP stack to that.
    i went through some ADS documentation which says to add java hostnames and port numbers to the ADS Comm channel. also it seems from the architecture that ADS runs into the java stack.
    hence do we require java stack for running ADS or we can install a patch of the same.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Rajeev

    Hello,
    the ADS is a JAVA Webservice >> You need the Java stack.

  • What   the   Enviroment  required  for java databases programs?

    Hi guys
    What the enviroment required for java databases programs?
    If I have oracle of version 9i and java 1.4.1 platform
    do I need Jdeveloper platform ?

    What the enviroment required for java databases programs?What do you mean by "environment"?
    f I have oracle of version 9i and java 1.4.1 platformYou just need to download Oracle's 9i JDBC driver (ojdbc14.jar) and put that in your CLASSPATH. Then write JDBC code to connect to Oracle and issue SQL commands.
    do I need Jdeveloper platform ?No, JDeveloper is an IDE. Not required.
    Why Java 1.4.1? We're up to Java 6 now. You're two major versions of the JDK behind.

    Hi Ashish,
    If you want to install NWDS only then as said 1g.b is sufficient.
    But if it's Personal System then you have to install Portal also( WAS).

  • Java SE minimum CPU requirement for x86

    According to Windows System Requirements for JDK and JRE the min. CPU requirements for JDK 7 is a Pentium II 266 MHz.
    A Pentium II is a i686 CPU.
    However, the installation packages for Oracle JDK 7 available at Java SE Development Kit 7 - Downloads | Oracle Technology Network | Oracle show i585 package names. Should they not be called i686 to be correct?
    Thanks.

    However, the installation packages for Oracle JDK 7 available at Java SE Development Kit 7 - Downloads | Oracle Technology Network | Oracle show i585 package names.
    Actually they show 'i586' in some names.
    Should they not be called i686 to be correct?
    Probably - it if concerns you that much just use one of the 'contact us' links on that page and report it to Oracle.

  • ABAP & Java Concepts required for SAP-NW XI/PI

    Hi Experts,
        As a fresher, I want to start a career in SAP ans SAP Netweaver- XI/PI. After going through some blogs, forum, sap stuff etc, I came to know the prerequisites for XI is both ABAP and Java...
    But I am not sure which concepts in ABAP and Java are required for an SAP XI consultant, as I see SAP itself is an Ocean. So Apart from XI concepts , what are all the concepts needed in ABAP and Java.
    As for XI concepts are concerned there is a lot of stuff in SDN itself. Only thing is, one shd have patience to search and proper guidance while learning.
    Regards,

    something quite common a question but here is a small desc.
    ABAP -
    for scenarios involving, IDoc, RFC, ABAP proxies and ABAP mappings
    Java -
    Core java - UDFs in graphical mapping
    advanced - java mapping, adapter modules, java proxies etc

  • Hands on requirement for java certification

    which java certifications do exactly have an hands on requirement?
    because if i look here
    http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=320
    it says i just need to take the exam to become certified. other certifications have assignments and more exam but nowhere is an hands-on requirement listed (that i could find)
    however if i look here http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/show_desc.redirect?dc=D61748GC10
    it says "This course counts towards the Hands-on course requirement for the Java SE 6 Developer Certification. Only instructor-led inclass or instructor-led online formats of this course will meet the Certification Hands-on Requirement. Self Study CD-Rom and Knowledge Center courses DO NOT meet the Hands-on Requirement."
    So my question is where exactly can i find which certification has which hands-on requirement. i wouldn't want to start on the self-study (or a non-official course) just to find out that i need the real course to get my certification.
    Edited by: 881933 on Aug 27, 2011 8:23 PM

    Without looking at specifics .... i am not massively up to speed with the Java certifictions, one key point is the the hands on requirement is about to change.
    The latest blog announcement on this may be found helpful: http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/entry/0588
    and: http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=449
    Some pages cannot be updated until 30th december passes.
    Oracle University Courses and LVC courses are appropriate for certification: (CDROMs purchases online though are not):

    Hi there,
    Thanks for reaching Adobe Community. Please accept my apologies for the same.
    There is nothing in specific. When you say it takes a long time, do you mean on the LMS or locally as well?
    Try updaing the Flash Player.
    You can download the Falsh Player Versions from the below link:

  • List of Manual Setup required for iSetup to work

    Hi All,
    This is Mugunthan from iSetup development. Based on my interaction with customers and Oracle functional experts, I had documented list of manual setups that are required for smooth loading of selection sets. I am sharing the same. Please let me know if I anyone had to enter some manual setup while using iSetup.
    Understanding iSetup
    iSetup is a tool to migrate and report on your configuration data. Various engineering teams from Oracle develop the APIs/Programs, which migrates the data across EBS instances. Hence all your data is validated for all business cases and data consistency is guarantied. It requires good amount of setup functional knowledge and bit of technical knowledge to use this tool.
    Prerequisite setup for Instance Mapping to work
    ·     ATG patch set level should be same across all EBS instances.
    ·     Copy DBC files of each other EBS instances participating in migration under $FND_SECURE directory (refer note below for details).
    ·     Edit sqlnet.ora to allow connection between DB instacnes(tcp.invited_nodes=(<source>,<central>))
    ·     Make sure that same user name with iSetup responsibility exists in all EBS instances participating in migration.
    Note:- iSetup tool is capable of connecting to multiple EBS instances. To do so, it uses dbc file information available under $FND_SECURE directory. Let us consider three instances A, B & C, where A is central instance, B is source instance and C is target instances. After copying the dbc file on all nodes, $FND_SECURE directory would look like this on each machine.
    A => A.dbc, B.dbc, C.dbc
    B => A.dbc, B.dbc
    C => A.dbc, C.dbc
    Prerequisite for registering Interface and creating Custom Selection Set
    iSetup super role is mandatory to register and create custom selection set. It is not sufficient if you register API on central/source instance alone. You must register the API on all instances participating in migration/reporting.
    Understanding how to access/share extracts across instances
    Sharing iSetup artifacts
    ·     Only the exact same user can access extracts, transforms, or reports across different instances.
    ·     The “Download” capability offers a way to share extracts, transforms, and loads.
    Implications for Extract/Load Management
    ·     Option 1: Same owner across all instances
    ·     Option 2: Same owner in Dev, Test, UAT, etc – but not Production
    o     Extract/Load operations in non-Production instances
    o     Once thoroughly tested and ready to load into Production, download to desktop and upload into Production
    ·     Option 3: Download and upload into each instance
    Security Considerations
    ·     iSetup does not use SSH to connect between instances. It uses Concurrent Manager framework to lunch concurrent programs on source and target instances.
    ·     iSetup does not write password to any files or tables.
    ·     It uses JDBC connectivity obtained through standard AOL security layer
    Common Incorrect Setups
    ·     Failure to complete/verify all of the steps in “Mapping instances”
    ·     DBC file should be copied again if EBS instance has been refreshed or autoconfig is run.
    ·     Custom interfaces should be registered in all EBS instances. Registering it on Central/Source is not sufficient.
    ·     Standard Concurrent Manager should up for picking up iSetup concurrent requests.
    ·     iSetup financial and SCM modules are supported from 12.0.4 onwards.
    ·     iSetup is not certified on RAC. However, you may still work with iSetup if you could copy the DBC file on all nodes with the same name as it had been registered through Instance Mapping screen.
    Installed Languages
    iSetup has limitations where it cannot Load or Report if the number and type of installed languages and DB Charset are different between Central, Source and Target instances. If your case is so, there is a workaround. Download the extract zip file to desktop and unzip it. Edit AZ_Prevalidator_1.xml to match your target instance language and DB Charset. Zip it back and upload to iSetup repository. Now, you would be able to load to target instance. You must ensure that this would not corrupt data in DB. This is considered as customization and any data issue coming out this modification is not supported.
    Custom Applications
    Application data is the prerequisite for the most of the Application Object Library setups such as Menus, Responsibility, and Concurrent programs. iSetup does not migrate Custom Applications as of now. So, if you have created any custom application on source instance, please manually create them on the target instance before moving Application Object Library (AOL) data.
    General Foundation Selection Set
    Setup objects in General foundation selection set supports filtering i.e. ability to extract specific setups. Since most of the AOL setup data such as Menus, Responsibilities and Request Groups are shipped by Oracle itself, it does not make sense to migrate all of them to target instance since they would be available on target instance. Hence, it is strongly recommended to extract only those setup objects, which are edited/added, by you to target instance. This improves the performance. iSetup uses FNDLOAD (seed data loader) to migrate most of the AOL Setups. The default behavior of FNDLOAD is given below.
    Case 1 – Shipped by Oracle (Seed Data)
    FNDLOAD checks last_update_date and last_updated_by columns to update a record. If it is shipped by Oracle, the default owner of the record would be Oracle and it would skip these records, which are identical. So, it won’t change last_update_by or last_updated_date columns.
    Case 2 – Shipped by Oracle and customized by you
    If a record were customized in source instance, then it would update the record based on last_update_date column. If the last_update_date in the target were more recent, then FNDLOAD would not update the record. So, it won’t change last_update_by column. Otherwise, it would update the records with user who customized the records in source instance.
    Case 3 – Created and maintained by customers
    If a record were newly added/edited in source instance by you, then it would update the record based on last_update_date column. If the last_update_date of the record in the target were more recent, then FNDLOAD would not update the record. So, it won’t change last_update_by column. Otherwise, it would update the records with user who customized the records in source instance.
    Profiles
    HR: Business Group => Set the name of the Business Group for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Business Group onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set appropriately.
    HR: Security Profile => Set the name of the Business Group for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Business Group onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set appropriately.
    MO: Operating Unit => Set the Operating Unit name for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Operating Unit onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set if required.
    Navigation path to do the above setup:
    System Administrator -> Profile -> System.
    Query for the above profiles and set the values accordingly.
    Descriptive & Key Flex Fields
    You must compile and freeze the flex field values before extracting using iSetup.
    Otherwise, it would result in partial migration of data. Please verify that all the data been extracted by reporting on your extract before loading to ensure data consistency.
    You can load the KFF/DFF data to target instance even the structures in both source as well as target instances are different only in the below cases.
    Case 1:
    Source => Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, and Loc4
    Target=> Loc1, Loc2, Loc3 (Mandate), Loc4, Loc5 and Loc6
    If you provide values for Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, Loc4, then locations will be loaded to target instance without any issue. If you do not provide value for Loc3, then API will fail, as Loc3 is a mandatory field.
    Case 2:
    Source => Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, and Loc4
    Target=> Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2
    If you provide values for Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3 and Loc4 and load data to target instance, API will fail as Loc3 and Loc4 are not there in target instance.
    It is always recommended that KFF/DFF structure should be same for both source as well as target instances.
    Concurrent Programs and Request Groups
    Concurrent program API migrates the program definition(Definition + Parameters + Executable) only. It does not migrate physical executable files under APPL_TOP. Please use custom solution to migrate executable files. Load Concurrent Programs prior to loading Request Groups. Otherwise, associated concurrent program meta-data will not be moved even through the Request Group extract contains associated Concurrent Program definition.
    Locations - Geographies
    If you have any custom Geographies, iSetup does not have any API to migrate this setup. Enter them manually before loading Locations API.
    Currencies Types
    iSetup does not have API to migrate Currency types. Enter them manually on target instance after loading Currency API.
    GL Fiscal Super user--> setup--> Currencies --> rates -- > types
    Associating an Employee details to an User
    The extract process does not capture employee details associated with users. So, after loading the employee data successfully on the target instance, you have to configure them again on target instance.
    Accounting Setup
    Make sure that all Accounting Setups that you wish to migrate are in status “Complete”. In progress or not-completed Accounting Setups would not be migrated successfully.
    Note: Currently iSetup does not migrate Sub-Ledger Accounting methods (SLA). Oracle supports some default SLA methods such as Standard Accrual and Standard Cash. You may make use of these two. If you want to use your own SLA method then you need to manually create it on target instances because iSetup does not have API to migrate SLA. If a Primary Ledger associated with Secondary Ledgers using different Chart of Accounts, then mapping rules should be defined in the target instance manually. Mapping rule name should match with XML tag “SlCoaMappingName”. After that you would be able to load Accounting Setup to target instance.
    Organization API - Product Foundation Selection Set
    All Organizations which are defined in HR module will be extracted by this API. This API will not extract Inventory Organization, Business Group. To migrate Inventory Organization, you have to use Inventory Organization API under Discrete Mfg. and Distribution Selection Set. To extract Business Group, you should use Business Group API.
    Inventory Organization API - Discrete Mfg & Distribution Selection Set
    Inventory Organization API will extract Inventory Organization information only. You should use Inventory Parameters API to move parameters such as Accounting Information. Inventory Organization API Supports Update which means that you can update existing header level attributes of Inventory Organization on the target instance. Inventory Parameters API does not support update. To update Inventory Parameters, use Inventory Parameters Update API.
    We have a known issue where Inventory Organization API migrates non process enabled organization only. If your inventory organization is process enabled, then you can migrate them by a simple workaround. Download the extract zip file to desktop and unzip it. Navigate to Organization XML and edit the XML tag <ProcessEnabledFlag>Y</ProcessEnabledFlag> to <ProcessEnabledFlag>N</ProcessEnabledFlag>. Zip it back the extract and upload to target instance. You can load the extract now. After successful completion of load, you can manually enable the flag through Form UI. We are working on this issue and update you once patch is released to metalink.
    Freight Carriers API - Product Foundation Selection Set
    Freight Carriers API in Product Foundation selection set requires Inventory Organization and Organization Parameters as prerequisite setup. These two APIs are available under Discrete Mfg. and Distribution Selection Set. Also,Freight Carriers API is available under Discrete Mfg and Distribution Selection Set with name Carriers, Methods, Carrier-ModeServ,Carrier-Org. So, use Discrete Mfg selection set to load Freight Carriers. In next rollup release Freight Carriers API would be removed from Product Foundation Selection Set.
    Organization Structure Selection Set
    It is highly recommended to set filter and extract and load data related to one Business Group at a time. For example, setup objects such as Locations, Legal Entities,Operating Units,Organizations and Organization Structure Versions support filter by Business Group. So, set the filter for a specific Business Group and then extract and load the data to target instance.

    Appendix_
    How to read logs
    ·     Logs are very important to diagnose and troubleshoot iSetup issues. Logs contain both functional and technical errors.
    ·     To find the log, navigate to View Detail screens of Extracts/ Transforms/Loads/Standard/Comparison Reports and click on View Log button to view the log.
    ·     Generic Loader (FNDLOAD or Seed data loader) logs are not printed as a part of main log. To view actual log, you have to take the request_id specified in the concurrent log and search for the same in Forms Request Search Window in the instance where the request was launched.
    ·     Functional errors are mainly due to
    o     Missing prerequisite data – You did not load one more perquisite API before loading the current API. Example, trying to load “Accounting Setup” without loading “Chart of Accounts” would result in this kind of error.
    o     Business validation failure – Setup is incorrect as per business rule. Example, Start data cannot be greater than end date.
    o     API does not support Update Records – If the there is a matching record in the target instance and If the API does not support update, then you would get this kind of errors.
    o     You unselected Update Records while launching load - If the there is a matching record in the target instance and If you do not select Update Records, then you would get this kind of errors.
    Example – business validation failure
    o     VONAME = Branches PLSQL; KEY = BANKNAME = 'AIBC‘
    o     BRANCHNAME = 'AIBC'
    o     EXCEPTION = Please provide a unique combination of bank number, bank branch number, and country combination. The 020, 26042, KA combination already exists.
    Example – business validation failure
    o     Tokens: VONAME = Banks PLSQL
    o     BANKNAME = 'OLD_ROYAL BANK OF MY INDIA'
    o     EXCEPTION = End date cannot be earlier than the start date
    Example – missing prerequisite data.
    o     VONAME = Operating Unit; KEY = Name = 'CAN OU'
    o     Group Name = 'Setup Business Group'
    o     ; EXCEPTION = Message not found. Application: PER, Message Name: HR_ORG_SOB_NOT_FOUND (Set of books not found for ‘Setup Business Group’)
    Example – technical or fwk error
    o     OAException: System Error: Procedure at Step 40
    o     Cause: The procedure has created an error at Step 40.
    o     Action: Contact your system administrator quoting the procedure and Step 40.
    Example – technical or fwk error
    o     Number of installed languages on source and target does not match.
