R12 and Sun JRE question

Just a quick question related to the Sun JRE and R12 .. We recently upgrade from 11.5.10.2 to 12.1.3 ..
We are still in testing mode but everything appears to be working fine so far ..
One thing we noticed is that we are using the Sun JRE 1.6_18 on our PC's and we have 1.6_07 on the Web server environment files.
ex: in the .xml s_sun_plugin_ver">1.6.0_07
We also had to disable the Next Generation feature in the SUN JRE 1.6_18 because of different issues already known in metalink.
As far as I know the Sun JRE version in the Webserver only indicates the lowest version that can be used on PC's, all our PC use version 1.6.0_18
Is there any advantage in running the "txkSetPLugin.sh 16018" to bring the Webserver at 1.6.0_18 instead of 1.6.0_07 ?
Or can we just leave the webserver version at 1.6.0_07 ? as all our PC's use only one version of the Sun JRE which is 1.6.0._18
Thanks

When reading note 393931.1, it appears that the version in the Webserver config files, only dicates the lowest version that can be used on the PCs , in our case we only have one version 1.6_18 on our PCs , so I assume that having version 1.6_07 or 1.6_18 in the Web config files should not make any difference in our case ?It is always recommended you have the same version of Jinitiator/JRE on the web server and the client machines. Not sure about the list of advantages, so you may log a SR for this.
Also Note 393931.1 mentions patch 4377566, but the readme for this patch mentions the following:
APPLICATIONS INTEROPERABILITY PATCH FOR JRE1.5.0_x PLUGIN
So is this patch also applicable to JRE 1.6 ?This is a small patch, so I would recommend applying it.
Thanks,
Hussein

SUN jre 1.6.0_04 under Forms 10.1.2.3 and IE7

Hello,
I get nuts about the SUN jre configuration in relation with IE7 (client side) and running under the Application Server 10.1.2.3 (server side).
My problem is that I want to use JRE 1.6.0_04 on IE7 for Oracle Forms at the client side. On the test client is also installed: JRE 1.6.0_05 and JRE 1.6.0_07.
Here is my formsweb.cfg configuration to it:
[testapp]
width=1024
height=768
separateFrame=True
lookandfeel=Generic
form=test.fmx

jpi_download_page=http://server:7777/forms/webutil/jre-6u4-windows-i586-p.exe
IE=native
I tried it under Firefox 3.0 where the version JRE 1.6.0_07 is installed. With the upper showed configuration it didn't worked. Only if I change this entry jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_07.
Result: Firefox works correct.
But the IE always starts the application with the SUN client: JRE 1.6.0_07
I don't know what to do? I also changed the registry entry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy]
and put this value in:
"EnableSecureStaticVersioning"=dword:00000000
Maybe somebody else knows what to do?
Thanks ahead

What I noticed earlier this year was
you can force Forms to use JRE 1.5 even though you have JRE 1.6 installed, but it will always pick the newest patch installed.
So, if you want to use JRE 1.5 and have JRE 1.5.06 and 1.5.12 installed, the only way to use 1.5.06 is to uninstall 1.5.12
But, if you read note 14 on the vertification matrix, newer patches of a certified major version, are also supported :)

SUN JRE 1.5.0 update. messagebox poppup trubble

After the installation of SUN JRE 1.5.0 a message popped-up from system tray saying an update is available for download.
How can i disable the messagebox / autoupdate function?
My company can not have this popup on every 5000 pc. Our helpdesk is going to be overloaded with questions what to do with the popup.
just following this example below doesn't help because the poppup message still shows every time you visit a site using java JRE.
http://java.com/en/download/help/5000020700.xml#auto_update
I have recognize that it only shows if you have local administrator rights. don't know if that make any difference to the problem.
please help me out on this. I have tried deleting registry keys and changing values but it keeps popping up

We have found that after install of JRE 1.5.0, this registry value is prompting a popup question if you are local administrator on the machine.
"PromptAutoUpdateCheck"=dword:00000001
to get rid of the popup, this whole value should be removed!
that's what happens if you chose to answer no in the popup question
case closed! :)

SUN JRE 1.3.1 slow JPEG file loading

helo,
I've developped an applet wich load jpeg files and display them on screen. I achieve my applet using Microsoft Java SDK 4.0 and all was fine. But my boss told me that the applet has to be run within the sun jre 1.3.1 plugin. When I test my applet with the sun plugin, it was horribly slow!!
I wrote a little java app in order to compare the two jvm's. I establish that the Toolkit.getImage (+ media tracker for sync...) method was the main slowing point. I tested the app with 1.18 Mo jpeg files and found following results:
Microsoft jvm : ~24 ms
Sun JRE : ~250 ms
about 10 times slower !!!
What can I do??
Am I stucked??
thanx a lot
cduret

Kayaman, take a relax,
there is no need to insult people. Many posts were written on this forum on "why do people get flamed for asking questions?". But there is no use to tell people they speak like 14 year old or they are from whatever UNI you mentioned in another post. At least don't forget that orher people also lose their time reading your answers. So if you have nothing to tell maybe just skip the topic.

EBS upgrade from 11i to R12 using Maintenance Wizard question

I have installed Maintenance Wizard in development envrionment. I picked module to upgrade 11i to R12. When I am defining the node it not only picked up 11i nodes but required me to configure R12 nodes. So Do I have to to create upgrade file system(for R12) and then configured R12 nodes in Define nodes? My configuration is in In configuration at this time as I did not configured R12 nodes.
Please help me resolve this issue.

My question is which database oracle_home we have to consider to upgrade R12? and What about another one oracle_home?
When you run Rapid Install, provide the details of the already upgraded/installed 11.2.0.3 ORACLE_HOME.
For 11gR1 ORACLE_HOME which is installed by Rapid Install, please see (How to upgrade Oracle E-Business Suite from 11i to 12.1.1 and keep the existing 10g Database? (Doc ID 1345020.1)).

Replace Quotes, Connection Pooling, and Sun Web Server with MySQL, Oracle

This is code I use to insert data into my MySQL and Oracle databases.
I takes care of quotes and shows use of context, i.e. when you use Sun Web Server's
ConnectionPooling. This code works. Feel free to reply if you have questions on how to set up connection pooling using Sun Web Server 6.1SP - it took quite a long time to learn and I couldn't find much information throughout the web, so I hope this helps...
This is not a question and I am not looking for an answer, but please post comments or suggestions.

This is in one class where I have a hashtable containing the
column name / value pairs that I want to enter into my table.
This class simply creates the SQL string from the values in the
hashtable. It then passes that hashtable including the database
name to a class which executes that sql statement (second code
portion).
/* Insert data into sf_parts. Create the column strings from
 * the provided hash table. Be sure to parse out hash elements which
 * are used for the createTemplate process
 StringBuffer values = new StringBuffer();
 StringBuffer fields = new StringBuffer();
 Enumeration keys = fieldHash.keys();
 while(keys.hasMoreElements()){
 Object currentKey = keys.nextElement();
 String fieldValue = (String) fieldHash.get(currentKey);
 if(values.length() >0){
 values.append(",");
 values.append("'"+fieldValue.replaceAll("'","''")+"'"); // Takes care of quotes and various other special characters!
 if(fields.length() >0){
 fields.append(",");
 fields.append(currentKey);
 sql = "INSERT INTO myTable (" + fields.toString() + ") VALUES (" + values.toString() + ");";
 String insertResult = caq.getInsertDelete(sql,"myDatabaseName"); // your database name is defined in web.xml and sun-web.xml when you use Sun Web Server's Connection Pooling.
 returnValue += " Rows inserted into table(myTable): " + insertResult + " \n";
 And, like I describe above, this method executes the sql statement.
 * Takes care of insert, update and delete requests.
 * Must have set both dbName as well as the sql String.
 * Will return number of rows affected as String.
 * @return String Number of rows affected
 * @exception SQLException
 * @exception Exception
 public String getInsertDelete() {
 checkData(); // this simply checks if the variables dbName and sql are not empty ;-)
 InitialContext initContext = null;
 int rv = 0;
 try{
 // Get connection from configured pool
 initContext = new InitialContext();
 source = (DataSource) initContext.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/" + dbName); // I have this set up in web.xml and sun-web.xml (I use Sun Web Server 6.1SP which does connection pooling for me)
 conn = source.getConnection();
 if(conn != null){
 stmt = conn.createStatement();
 rv = stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
 }catch (SQLException e){
 // do something
 }catch (Exception e){
 // do something
 }finally{
 try{
 stmt.close();
 }catch(Exception e){
 // do something
 try{
 conn.close();
 }catch(Exception e){
 // do something
 try{
 initContext.close();
 }catch(Exception e){
 // do something
 return rv+"";
 }

This is code I use to insert data into my MySQL and
Oracle databases.
I takes care of quotes and shows use of context, i.e.
when you use Sun Web Server's
ConnectionPooling. This code works. Feel free to
reply if you have questions on how to set up
connection pooling using Sun Web Server 6.1SP - it

much information throughout the web, so I hope this
helps...
This is not a question and I am not looking for an
answer, but please post comments or suggestions.Using prepared statements would mean that you wouldn't have to worry about quotes.
You should be closing the result set.
You are handling all fields as strings. That won't work with time fields and might not work for numeric fields.
Presumably most of your variables are member variables. They should be local variables because that is the scope of the usage.
You must do something with the exceptions.
Hashtables although convienent mean that problems with usage can only be resolved at run time rather than compile time.

Oracle Forms loading slower with Sun JRE in Oracle E-Business Suite 11i

Hi,
After Deploying Sun JRE (Native Plug-in) for Windows Clients in Oracle E-Business Suite 11i (Note 290807.1) we find that Oracle Forms are loading slower than using Jinitiator.
Also the PDF reports are opening in a minimized fashion. Meaning the PDF reports are opening correctly in new browser window (as expected) but is minimized.
Customer is not willing to go live with Sun JRE due to these issues.
Plz advice is there is any additional configuration I need to do.
Rgds,
Thiru

When the JRE was installed/configured on the workstations was the jar cache placed on a LAN drive instead of the local drive? We have experienced poor performance with both the JRE and Jinitiator when the Workstation Sysadmins configured the jar cache to be located on a LAN drive. Also is the size of the jar cache on the workstation sufficient to hold all of your required jar files. It could be downloading the jar files all the time.
Overall our performance with the JRE is comparible to the Jinitiator.
Sorry I have not experienced the problem that you are having with you pdf reports so I can't provide any comments on it.

Why AS10g Forms Applet don´t start with IE7 and SUN Java???

Hi @ all,
since two days i am really confused about this strange behaviour of internet explorer 7 with the Sun JRE 1.5.0_15.
Running our forms with Mozilla Firefox 3.x works fine with Sun JRE, but with IE7 the applet doesn´t start.
I don´t get any error messages. The only thing I can see is that the java console is not appearing, but I don´t think that my java installation is corrupted or something is configured wrong because other java applets from several homepages are working without problems ( and the java console is appearing ).
I read about the archive_ie parameter and I tried it but there were no changes in the behaviour of IE7.
best regards
Thomas

Logo not displayed in MS JVM to Sun JRE conversion

Hi,
We have a small MS JVM version of application which we converted to Sun JRE. It has only one applet (we made it to <Object>). Applet code tries to load a logo using following code
URL url = getMainApplet().getCodeBase();
String protocol = url.getProtocol();
String host = url.getHost();
String file = url.getFile();
file = file.concat("images\\weblogo.gif");
URL imageURL = new URL(protocol,host,file);
Image weblogoImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(imageURL);
imagePanel = new ImagePanel(weblogoImage);
//imagePanel.setBounds(7,2,101,47);
imagePanel.setBounds(4,1,101,47);
add(imagePanel);
Some how it works fine with MS JVM but when we use sun jre..logo doent come..no error shown on console...
Any one has any idea...
thanks in advance..

I also have same problem with my WinXP-SP1 and I also had removed MSJVM through the Microsoft utility. Since then I am having problems using Java based sites. To solve this problem I upgraded my JRE from 1.4.1_xx to 1.4.2_04, now the problem is completly different. I am prompted to download Java Virtual Machine which opens a page from Microsoft web site saying that you need MSJVM but then that site works fine, I can use Java applets in that site. If I refuse to download the Java Virtual Machine (which just opens the Microsoft page) then it does not work. Only problem is I am prompted to download Java Virtual Machine and I have to click on Download button.
I have done everything to solve this problem unistalled JRE..restart..installing JRE...restart..and then checked http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.jsp but problem is still same.
I am highly frusteated with this. I think there are thousands of users who have same problem and Sun should have taken some initiative to solve this problem for Microsoft is not going to do anything in this regard. I seach Google and various forums and found tens of same problem with unresolved queries. Or Sun has taken any initiative in this regard.
JRE is working fine in my Firefox browser.
Thanks

Oracle EBS R12 Pre - Implementations phase question air
Posted: Jun 30, 2009 10:22 AM Edit Reply
Dear all Gurus,
We are going to implement Oracle EBS r12, for industrial concern, we have following quires if any peer may suggest.
1) we heard the oracle R12 has build new release with 11g db , is it been practical for choosing it for corporate ???
2) Linux Read hat which version is more stable like 5 releases is compatible with R12 new release?
3) We are also thinking for 64 bit architecture rather than 32 bit, could any one figure out the practical pros and cons for this.
4) We are also wondering about the server machine brand and its configurations like HP DL380 G6, DELL 2850? could any one share abut his experience about the same.
5) What sort of Server configurations (Processor , 2way -4way , RAM , HD and other accessories ) for r12 Multi node setup for 150 clients (DB Server , Apps Server , Test Prod )
6) What should be backup strategies like tap backup and how much space requirements we must have provisioned for retaining almost 2~3 month backup.
7) Application implementations methodologies?
8)
I know to address our queries would be time consuming for you bust peoples , but I would really oblige for being shared your journey this would defiantly the PATH way for other like mentoring for others.
looking forward your valuable instructions ASAP.

Using the Sun JRE

Hi. We currently force the use for Java 6, version 22 by placing this code in the formsweb.cfg file:
[code]
### Define the default SUN JRE
### Java Plug-in 6 22
jpi_download_page=http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/
### Parameter related to the version of the Java Plugin
jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0022-ABCDEFFEDCBA
### Parameter related to the version of the Java Plugin
jpi_codebase=http://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/jinstall-6u22-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,6,0,22
### Parameter related to the version of the Java Plugin
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_22
[code]
If I want to change this confirguration so that users always use the latest version of the Sun JRE, how would I modify this code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi. Thank you so much!
Is there a reason I would want to let users use any version of Java 1.6, but not Java 1.7? Is it not possible to use the same logic, but to allow the users to use any version of Java 1.7? Or is it unwise for some reason?
I'm just curious because sometimes my users are automatically prompted to install the latest version of Java, which is version 7, update 45 (I believe). And when they do that installation then our Web Form applications start to prompt them that they need to install the correct version of the plug-in. So I uninstall version 7, update 45 and Web Forms is fine again. Any thoughts on the best way to be handling the Java plug-ins?
Hello Sharpe,
Good Day. From your post we don't know what is your application server version. guess 10.x.x.x.x as you are talking about JRE 1.6.
JRE 1.7 is not compatible with AS 10.x.x.x.
So, if your user wish to install JRE 1.7, make sure JRE 1.6 also installed in the same pc. Now what can you do ? Yes. you can restrict a web browser to run only selected Java plugins not other one. You can manage this from Add-Ons manage settings.
This restrict user, use specific browser for you application.
Hope this helps

Arabic Characters Alef & Lam Appear Incorrect at Runtime using Sun JRE/JPI

Hi,
We implemented Sun JRE for Oracle EBS 11i in Production on 7th Jan 2009.
We went with Sun JRE 1.6.0_07 as we faced new Broswer Minimizing Problem in IE with 1.6.0_10 and 1.6.0_11.
Now we have some issue related to Arabic Characters Alef and Lam - Doc Id 731703.1.
The solution is to use 1.6.0_11 but we can't. I would like to know if there is any work around without using 1.6.0_11.
Thanks
Thiru

Hi,
We have the problem with 1.6.0_11 also.
I checked in TEST instance. Strangly the problem is only while using Arabic Forms thru Arabic Login.
If we login thru English Login and access the same Form in Enlgish and then type in Arabic there is no problem. I got these details from our Arabic Consultants.
I am trying the revert back to jinitiator.

**Urgent**: GO_ITEM to pop-up CANVAS with IMAGE in Sun JRE gives error

Our Forms 10g Environment is this: Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production) using Sun JRE i.e. Java Plug-in 1.6.0_06
Problem is that when we try to navigate to a canvas (from a Button) which has an IMAGE ITEM the form is exited. This happens in every form which has a canvas with an image.
i.e. In Button, we have code: Go_Item('block123.button1'). Button1 is also in that pop-up canvas.
Even GO_BLOCK gives the same result.
If the image is in the same canvas as the button which has GO_ITEM code, then it works.
Of course this whole things works fine in JInit. But we need to run in Sun JRE.
Is this a Bug?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, as you are on 10.1.2.0.2 I strongly suggest that you apply the latest Patchset (10.1.2.3) the latest CPU Patches and the latest merge Patches. A lot of focus related things are fixed in those patches.
