Oracle E-Business Suite Technology

The E-Business Suite Release 11i has two interfaces:  a web-based model for modules like Self-Service web applications like iRecruitment and and Expenses, and an Oracle Forms-based model for our professional services modules like Financials.  Oracle Forms are Java-based and require a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to be installed on end-user desktop clients.  Oracle JInitiator is Oracle's licenced version of Sun's JVM.  E-Business Suite Forms-based modules are certified to run with specific versions of Oracle JInitiator.


Latest JInitiator Version Certified

Our hard-working certification team has just announced the certification of JInitiator 1.3.1.29 with E-Business Suite Release 11i.  This is supported for Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP2.  The latest certified configuration requires Developer 6i Patch 12 (Forms version 6.0.8.21.x) or higher. 

For more details, see:

• Upgrading Oracle JInitiator with Oracle Applications 11i (Note 124606.1)

Replacing Oracle JInitiator with Sun's Native Plug-In

In case you missed it, you now have the option of replacing Jinitiator with the native Sun Java plug-in on your Windows-based desktop clients.  Oracle E-Business Suite system administrators can now configure their environments to support access to Forms-based applications with either Oracle JInitiator, the native Sun JRE plug-in, or a mix of the two desktop client technologies.  For more details about this configuration, see:
