Mondays -- you gotta love 'em. Noon hasn't even rolled around yet and it's already turning out to be one of those days.
The volume of questions relating to E-Business Suite compatibility with the Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) plug-in called Oracle Application Diagnostics for Java (AD4J) has increased sharply in the last few weeks. This plug-in allows OEM users to monitor the availability and performance of Java-based applications.
I've heard anecdotal reports that some Apps customers have successfully configured AD4J to view and monitor the Java Virtual Machines (JVM) of an E-Business Suite instance. Our Applications Technology Integration team hasn't done any formal certifications of the E-Business Suite with AD4J yet. On first principles alone, I can't think of any major reasons why this integration wouldn't work. However, in the absence of our formal certification tests, we don't have any guidelines on deploying AD4J in E-Business Suite environments yet.
We're definitely interested in testing this ourselves, after we've gotten Release 12.1 out the door. AD4J is on our list of future certification projects. I don't have firm schedules for this certification yet, but you're welcome to this blog updates, which I'll post as soon as soon as they're available.

You mention 12.1 is there a roadmap for when various releases are due out (even if it's as general as Q4 of 200x)? Is there a similar roadmap for Release Update Packs?
We are planning to start investigating moving to Release 12 in the next 18 months but one of the things holding us back is how stable OPSFI might be as there are not many bug fixes for it showing up in Release Update Packs yet. We may wait for more to people to migrate with OPSFI implemented - do Oracle keep track of how many customers have functionality such as OPSFI switched on?

Ian,No, I'm afraid that Oracle has very strict rules on disclosures of dates. For more background on this, see:Loose Lips Sink Ships - http://blogs.oracle.com/schan/2007/03/loose_lips_sink_ships.html As for OPSFI: I don't have a lot of visibility into our Public Sector implementations. Different product teams have different levels of relationships with their customer base, so it's hard for me to say whether OPSFI Development keeps these types of notes. Your best bet might be to ask your Oracle Account Manager to arrange a meeting between you and OPSFI Development to discuss product stability and your rollout plans.Good luck with this.Regards,Steven

Is there a patch or an updated version of Application Diagnostics for Java that supports 1.6 JVMs? Where do you get patches for the product? I can't find any on metalink.

John,
I'm afraid that I don't have a lot of visibility into AD4J updates for different JVMs. I'd recommend logging a formal Service Request via Metalink against AD4J to get more information about this.
Regards,
Steven

All AD4J updates are available on OTN. The direct link is http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oem/htdocs/jade.html
There you will find a link to the README file. This file has a section on new JVMs that we support but also towards the end we have a section on ALL the JVMs supported by the current AD4J release.
Hope this helps
