1. Java is already installed on your machine.
2. Your EBS form sessions are JWS enabled.

2. Open a form.
3. It downloads frmservlet.jnlp file into your downloads folder.
4. Right-click on the file and choose Open with then click Choose another app.
5. If you see Java (TM) Web Start Launcher in this list (you may need to click More apps to expand the list), select it and check the box that says Always use this app to open .jnlp files then click the OK button.

Oracle Database 19c: [INFO] [INS-32183] Use of clone.pl is deprecated in this release.

I was trying to clone oracle 19c ORACLE_HOME binaries from one server to another server.  Though it says deprecated, clone.pl worked end of the day.

Source the Environment on Target Host:

export ORACLE_SID=ORCL
export ORACLE_BASE=/ora/db/ORCL
export ORACLE_HOME=/ora/db/19.0.0
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:.

Run Clone Script:

$ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl \
$ORACLE_HOME/clone/bin/clone.pl \
ORACLE_BASE=$ORACLE_BASE \
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME \
OSDBA_GROUP=oinstall \
OSOPER_GROUP=oinstall \
ORACLE_HOME_NAME=ORCL_HOME

Command Line output for clone script:

[oracle@mydbserver ~]$ $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl \
> $ORACLE_HOME/clone/bin/clone.pl \
> ORACLE_BASE=$ORACLE_BASE \
> ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME \
> OSDBA_GROUP=oinstall \
> OSOPER_GROUP=oinstall \
> ORACLE_HOME_NAME=ORCL_HOME


[INFO] [INS-32183] Use of clone.pl is deprecated in this release. Clone operation is equivalent to performing a Software Only installation from the image.
You must use /ora/db/19.0.0/runInstaller script available to perform the Software Only install. For more details on image based installation, refer to help documentation.

IE issue when launching Java forms for EBS R12.1

Issue Details:

We installed EBS 12.1 and when we tried to open forms in IE11, it threw an error message "In order to access this application, you must install the J2SE Plugin version 1.5.0_13. To install this plugin, click here to download the oaj2se.exe executable. Once the download is complete, double-click the oaj2se.exe file to install the plugin. You will be prompted to restart your browser when the installation ".

Solution:

The steps we performed to resolve the issue are:

1. Go to tools>compatibility settings>and add the domain. My domain was oracle.com so i added it.

2. Tools>internet options>security>internet>custom level>disable xss filter

3. Under internet options>security>Local Intranet>sites>advance option>added the site http://myebs.myappserver.com

4. internet options>security>Local Intranet>custom level>disable xss filter

5. The final step was to apply the RPM-openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i386.rpm, Shut down ebs services including database and install the RPM. Once installed, start the services and test it.
