Upgrading to Latest JDK 7.0 in OracleAS 10.1.2 Oracle_Home	NOTE:  Please source 10.1.2 ORACLE_HOME (which is the default ORACLE_HOME) before we apply the below patches. When applying some of these patches, you might face an opatch error while it tries to rollback the previous patch. You can safely ignore the error as indicated in the patch readme. ·         Ensure ORACLE_HOME is pointed to  EBS 10.1.2 ORACLE_HOME (which is the default ORACLE_HOME) e.g. $echo $ORACLE_HOME $ /prodappl/prod/apps/tech_st/10.1.2 $opatch lsinventory ----à This should be successful before applying the patches. If not execute bellow: $export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/Opatch:$PATH ·         Apply Patch 12848228:- $cd /software/patches/jdk7u25/12848228 $opatch apply ·         Apply Patch 5659594:- $cd /software/patches/jdk7u25/5659594 $opatch apply ·         Apply Patch 16271876:- $cd /software/patches/jdk7u25/16271876 $opatch apply cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib/stubs  ln -s libjvm-1.7-stub.so libjvm.so ·         Apply Patch 17907988:- $cd /software/patches/jdk7u25/17907988 $opatch apply $chmod +x $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genshlib ·         Apply Patch 17653437:- $cd /software/patches/jdk7u25/17653437 $opatch apply $cd $ORACLE_HOME/forms/lib $make -f ins_forms.mk sharedlib install ·         Apply Patch 17645157:- $cd /software/patches/jdk7u25/17645157 $opatch apply $cd $ORACLE_HOME/reports/lib  $make -f ins_reports.mk install ·         Apply Patch 16241466:- (Note: This patch will try to rollback patch 8551790. It is OK) $cd /software/patches/jdk7u25/16241466 $opatch apply
Rebuild Forms and Reports Executables.	·         Relink forms and reports:- Note: Oracle Home should be set to 10.1.2(which is the default home). $cd $ORACLE_HOME/forms/lib $ make -f ins_forms.mk sharedlib install $cd $ORACLE_HOME/reports/lib $ make -f ins_reports.mk install
Adadmin steps	Run adadmin & take care of following:- ·         Generate message files ·         Generate form files ·         Generate report files ·         Generate product JAR files (no force option) ·         Compile APPS schema ·         Compile menu information
Run autoconfig	·         Validate EBS $CONTEXT_FILE for the parameter "s_adovar_afclasspath" and "s_adovar_classpath" to ensure it must the necessary JDK 7.0 libraries, which should include:- [IAS_ORACLE_HOME]/appsutil/jdk/lib/dt.jar [IAS_ORACLE_HOME]/appsutil/jdk/lib/tools.jar [IAS_ORACLE_HOME]/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/rt.jar [IAS_ORACLE_HOME]/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/charsets.jar Modify "s_adovar_afclasspath" and "s_adovar_classpath, if needed after backing up xml file. ·         Run autoconfig (See other post to run autoconfig) o    First run on DB Tier o    Then run in EBS Tier ·         Source the fresh environment & validate below to ensure all looks good:- $ $ADJVAPRG -version $ echo $CLASSPATH $ $AFJVAPRG -version $ echo $AF_CLASSPATH
Verify Java version	·         Verify Java on EBS tier using below command:- cd $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin ./java –version [applprod@lin40app4 appl]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin [applprod@lin40app4 bin]$ ./java -version java version "1.7.0_25" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_25-b15) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 23.25-b01, mixed mode) [applprod@lin40app4 bin]$
Upgrading to Latest JRE 7.0 on Database Tier Node	FYI….If you have upgraded the Oracle database version to 11gR2 or higher on the database tier, do not perform JRE 7 upgrade since the AutoConfig uses the JRE from /jdk/jre & not from /appsutil/jre. For 11.1.0.7: $cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil $ mv jre jre_old $ tar –xvf (jre 1.7.5.tar file) $ mv jre1.7.0_5 jre

Run the JRE Upgrade Script	·         Run the $FND_TOP/bin/txkSetPlugin.sh script as below:- txkSetPlugin.sh 17025 The script will prompt you for the following values, if it does not find them automatically: o    Location of APPSORA.env file, if not present in the default location $APPL_TOP o    Location of the AutoConfig Context File. o    Password for the APPS user in the database (If the correct value is returned by the script you may press the return key at the prompt). Ensure that you perform above steps on all EBS tiers
Autoconfig Step	Run autoconfig in below order:- Ø  DB Tier Ø  EBA Tier Source fresh environment in all 3 tiers before starting services.

JDK 7_u25 upgrade verification	1: Navigate to OA_HTML directory cd $OA_HTML 2: Create JDKtest.jsp file Using a text editor, create a file called JDKtest.jsp under [OA_HTML] containing the following line: The JDK version is: <%= System.getProperty("java.version") %> 3: Compile JDKtest.jsp script $ perl -x $FND_TOP/patch/115/bin/ojspCompile.pl --compile -s 'JDKtest.jsp' 4: Run JDKtest.jsp script from browser. Access the JSP file from a browser, using the URL: http://[web server]:[port]/OA_HTML/JDKtest.jsp You should see something like:                 The JDK version is: 1.7.0_25

JRE 7_u25 upgrade verification	·         Launch the forms & the following steps verify that you have successfully upgraded JRE. o    Enable the Java Console and Check Version :- §  Enable the Java Console on your desktop client through the 'Java Control Panel' by setting: §  'Control Panel' -> 'Java' (icon) -> 'Advanced' -> 'Java Console' -> 'Show Console'. o    Close All Browser Windows o    Logon to Oracle E-Business Suite o    Check your Java Plug-in Version Java Plug-in 10.10.2.18 Using JRE version 1.7.0_25-b18 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM Note: If a higher version of JRE than the one just installed is shown, it may be because a higher version has previously been installed on the desktop. You can check the versions installed through the 'Java Control Panel': Control Panel -> Java (icon) -> Java (tab) -> View (button)
