E-Business Suite 12.2 and 12.0 with Certified Internet Explorer 11 - admin - 01-19-2015 Recent announcement through Steven Chan (Oracle Development) on Jan 16, 2015Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 is now certified as a desktop client browser for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 and 12.0.  This follows our previous certification of IE11 with EBS 12.1.  The certified desktop operating systems are: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (32-bit or 64-bit) Windows 8.1 Update 1 Certified IE 11 ModesInternet Explorer 11 can be used in "Desktop Mode" on Windows 8.1.  Running IE 11 from the "Modern" (Metro) Start Screen is not certified.Due to display issues with certain FWK pages when using IE9 or IE10 we previously recommended running E-Business Suite using the browsers 'compatibility mode'.  These display issues have now been fixed for IE11-- you can now access your E-Business Suite 12.x environments without using 'compatibility mode' in IE 11. IE 11 includes an "Enterprise Mode" which can be used to emulated Internet Explorer 8 behaviour and provide compatibility with earlier browser standards.  You should not use "Enterprise Mode" with Oracle E-Business Suite.  EBS compatibility with IE 11 requires server-side patches. Enabling "Enterprise Mode" in IE 11 is not needed and will not resolve all compatibility issues.EBS 12.2 Prerequisites EBS 12.2.3 or later 12.2 updates Java Plug-in JRE 1.6.0_03 (32-bit) or higher, or JRE 1.7.0_10 (32-bit) and higher Java Plug-in JRE 1.6.0_32 (64-bit) or higher, or JRE 1.7.0_10 (64-bit) and higher EBS 12.0 Prerequisites EBS 12.0.6 Java Plug-in JRE 1.6.0_03 (32-bit) or higher, or JRE 1.7.0_10 (32-bit) and higher Java Plug-in JRE 1.6.0_32 (64-bit) or higher, or JRE 1.7.0_10 (64-bit) and higher JRE 6, 7, and 8 are certified with EBSJava Runtime Environment (JRE) Versions 6, 7, and 8 are certified with EBS. There appears to be some inaccurate information lying about on the web that claims that JRE 1.7 is not certified with the E-Business Suite. This is incorrect. Our standard policy is that all E-Business Suite customers can apply all JRE updates to end-user desktops: From JRE 1.6.0_03 and later updates on the JRE 6 codeline From JRE 1.7.0_10 and later updates on the JRE 7 codeline  From JRE 1.8.0_25 and later updates on the JRE 8 codeline You do not need to wait for a certification announcement before applying new JRE 1.6 or JRE 7 releases to your EBS users' desktops. We test all new JRE releases in parallel with the JRE development process, so all new JRE releases are considered certified with the E-Business Suite on the same day that they're released by our Java team. You do not need to wait for a certification announcement before applying new JRE 6, 7, or 8 releases to your EBS users' desktops."JInitiator version too low" errorsSome non-Oracle staff are claiming that "JInitiator version too low" errors confirm this incompatibility and lack of certification.In fact, if you're getting a "JInitiator version too low" error, it means that you've missed applying the Forms patch required to enable JRE 1.7 compatibility. Simply apply that patch and your EBS environment is ready for JRE 1.7 clients.Certifications with EBS 11i still pendingWe plan to certify IE 11 with EBS 11i.  This certification us underway now and will be released soon.If you're running EBS 11i, you must ensure that your mission-critical desktops remain on an earlier certified browsers until this certification is completed.  As of the time this article was published, certified browsers include IE 10 and Firefox ESR 31 for Windows desktops.You can block automatic updates by using Microsoft's Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit: Toolkit to Disable Automatic Delivery of Internet Explorer 11 Oracle's Revenue Recognition rules prohibit us from discussing certification and release dates, but you're welcome to monitor or subscribe to this blog. I'll post updates here as soon as soon as they're available.    References Recommended Browsers for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i (Note 285218.1) Upgrading Sun JRE (Native Plug-in) with Oracle Applications 11i for Windows Clients (Note 290807.1) Recommended Browsers for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 (Note 389422.1) Deploying Sun JRE (Native Plug-in) for Windows Clients in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 (Note 393931.1) Related Articles Confused About E-Business Server vs. Desktop Operating System Certifications?
