Replacing Jinitiator with Sun Java JRE for APPS

Print this post

 

Why wait until 2009 July when Oracle desupports Jinitiator for Oracle Applications. Replace your jinitiator now with Sun Java JRE and see the difference

PLATFORM   : Red Hat Linux AS4
DB               : 9.2.0.8
APPS           : 11.5.10.2
JINITIATOR : 1.3.1.21

UPGRADING TO : JRE 1.6_05

Download Interoperability patch  6863618

Download the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 plug-in at, http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

Downloaded JRE Native plug-in file from jre-6_uX-windows-i586-p.exe and rename to j2se160x.exe
(Where X = the version number. Using jre-6u5 as an example this would be j2se16005.exe)

Move the j2se1600X.exe file to the web application tier and place it in [COMMON_TOP]/util/jinitiator

Hi,

We configured our server 11.5.10.2
and database 9.2.0.6
with SUN JRE 6 Update 7.
We have 3 issues :
1: It takes more time to open customized forms.
2: Alef and Lam Arabic character, as in metalink note: 731703.1.
(but not resolved as we tried with JRE 6Update 11)
3: When we try to minimize the forms it hangs then we have to close it and open again.

Did anyone face such issues??..

Thanks in Advance
Mahesh

Mahesh,
we are having same issues. Also apps will be unresponsive randomly for 2-4 minutes and works again.

Is anybody facing same problem? Anybody aware of fixes?
