Smoking! Running Apps 11i on the HP Oracle Database Machine
Like every sysadmin I know, I yearn for bigger, beefier servers for my E-Business Suite environments. I've been dreaming about the new HP Oracle Database Machine since its unveiling at OpenWorld 2008.
In case you missed that announcement, this is a server with mainframe-class street cred: up to 14 GB/second in raw I/O bandwidth, which translates to up to 50 GB/second when handling compressed data. Storage scales up to petabytes when combined with the HP Oracle Exadata Storage Server. This machine is optimized for handling huge Oracle databases, so it's inevitable that EBS customers with large databases have shown interest in this hardware.
The Database Machine runs Oracle Database 11gR1 11.1.0.7 and Real Application Clusters on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.1. We've just certified Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i with the 11gR1 11.1.0.7 database release, so it's now possible to run Apps 11i on this hardware.

In a fitting end to the year, we've now certified Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.3.4 OC4J with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12. You can upgrade to OracleAS 10.1.3.4 OC4J directly from OracleAS 10.1.3 or 10.1.3.3. This certification allows you to upgrade the OC4J components in your R12 techstack to get take advantage of the latest performance and stability improvements in this incremental patchset. To make sure that there's no misunderstanding about what can be upgraded, the full name of this patchset is:
It's important to note that either OracleAS 10.1.3.3 or 10.1.3.4 are mandatory prerequisites if you plan to upgrade your Release 12 application tier to the latest certified version of Java 6.
