Every year I provide an OpenWorld update on the various ways that E-Business Suite users can use different Oracle Application Server 10g components. This presentation covers many of the topics that I visit regularly on this blog, neatly summarizing them in a single package with the latest Fusion Middleware certified versions (and desupport notices) in one place: * Using Oracle Application Server 10g with E-Business Suite (Session S307958, PDF, 1.3 MB)
Oracle Web Center is a suite of development tools that can be used to build web-based applications using technologies such as SOA, JSR-168, and WSRP. The Oracle WebCenter Framework allows you integrate E-Business Suite Release 12 portlets into a custom web-based application.
We certified Web Center 10.1.3.3 with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 last May. Following up on that certification train, Web Center 10.1.3.4 is now certified with Apps 12 (12.0.4 and higher).

I've been puzzled by a resurgence in questions about the compatibility of E-Business Suite Release 12 portlets with third-party portals. I thought that I'd already covered this FAQ a few times on this blog, but searching through our archives, I see that I haven't revisited this topic formally since R12 was released. It's time for a quick refresher and update on what's supported in this release.
I'm going to get through my OpenWorld backlog eventually. If I'm lucky, I'll be done just in time to start working on my OAUG/Collaborate backlog for next year's conference in Florida.
I'm (still) highlighting OpenWorld 2008 presentations that cover some of the most popular E-Business Suite technology stack topics. A catalog of all of the Applications Technology track sessions with links to the presentations is available here:

To kick things off with some shameless self-promotion, here's a spotlight on one of my own OpenWorld sessions:
Another airport stopover, another eagerly-awaited certification announcement. Nice to do something productive while I'm sitting here waiting for my flight to be called. I'm pleased to announce that Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.2.3 is now certified with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12. Specifically, the following OracleAS 10.1.2.3 components are now certified for external integration with Apps 12 environments:
Accompanying my announcement earlier today about Single Sign-On and Oracle Internet Directory, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that OracleAS 10.1.2.3 may now be applied to Portal 10.1.4 environments that have been integrated with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i.
We wrapped up a new certification over the long weekend, but it's a bit of a strange one. We had originally not planned to do this certification at all, for reasons that might be clearer by the end of this article.
However, a suitably large number of you have requested it explicitly, so we revisited that decision. This is an object lesson in the principle that it never hurts to ask. On to the actual certification announcement:
Oracle Application Server and Oracle Developer Suite 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) Patch Set 2 (10.1.2.2.0) (Patchset 4960210) is now certified for use with E-Business Suite Release 11i and 12 environments. This certification covers all platforms for which this OracleAS patchset is available.
