Upgrade to JDK 7.0 on EBS R12 Application Tier

Upgrade the JDK in 10.1.3 Oracle Home from JDK 1.5/1.6 to JDK 7.0

Step 1: Apply following Prerequisite Patches

·         14635756 - QRMP: FIX NEEDED FOR 10.1.2 JDK 7 UPGRADE

o    Prerequisite (R12.TXK.B) 8919489 – Already applied

Step 2: Download JDK

Download the 32-bit JDK, not the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

Do not choose the 64-bit version, which is not supported.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Step 3: Shutdown Applications

Stop all application tier services before installing the latest update of JDK 7.0 into the [IAS_ORACLE_HOME]/appsutil/jdk location

o    $ cd $INST_TOP/admin/scripts/

o    $ adstpall.sh

Step 3 : Replace JDK Home Used With Oracle E-Business 12

Oracle E-Business Suite application tier uses the JDK from a fixed installation location, [IAS_ORACLE_HOME]/appsutil/jdk.

This can be replaced either by copying the installation from a separate default location or working directory, or by replacing the old JDK installation with the new one on each application tier node.

Perform this action by entering the applicable commands below.

·         $ cd [IAS_ORACLE_HOME]/appsutil


·         $ mv jdk jdk_old
/** Install the latest JDK 7.0 Update here. In the example, the directory name is jdk1.7.0_5 .**/ 


·         $ mv jdk1.7.0_5 jdk

Step 4 : Rename Existing JRE Directories

The existing JRE directory is no longer needed. Perform this action by entering the applicable commands below.

·         $ mv $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/jre/1.4.2 $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/jre/1.4.2_old

Step 5 : Install Albany (Display) Font

Installation of the font files listed below is required to support Oracle XML Publisher and enable the Oracle UIX Dynamic Image technology to successfully generate images. These font files must be available on each application tier node. They are located under $FND_TOP/resource.

The font files are:

·         ALBANYWT.ttf - Single-byte characters only

·         ALBANWTJ.ttf - Unicode font with Japanese Han Ideographs

·         ALBANWTK.ttf - Unicode font with Korean Han Ideographs

·         ALBANWTS.ttf - Unicode font with Simplified Chinese Han Ideographs

·         ALBANWTT.ttf - Unicode font with Traditional Chinese Han Ideographs

o    $ cp $FND_TOP/resource/font_file_name.ttf $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/fonts
