Oracle JInitiator Not Certified for Vista Desktops

Oracle JInitiator 1.3 will not be certified for Vista desktops.  Jinitiator 1.3 is based on JDK 1.3.  JDK 1.3 is not compatible with Vista.  No new updates to JInitiator are planned for Vista.

Compatibility and Coexistence with Other Desktop Clients

A mix of the latest certified Windows and Mac OS X desktop combinations is supported.  The actual mix depends on the specific Applications release that you’re running; check the Notes in the Reference section for your release. 

For example, the currently supported desktops for Release 11i include:


  • Win2K / WinXP + IE6 / Firefox 2.x

  • WinXP + IE7 / Firefox 2.x

  • Mac OS X v10.3.9 + Safari 1.3 and higher

  • Mac OS X v10.4.7 + Safari 2.0 and higher

  • Vista desktop clients running the native JRE plug-in on IE 7
Support for Older E-Business Suite Configurations

Vista desktops are certified with the latest supported E-Business Suite releases.  “Supported” means the E-Business Suite releases eligible for Premier Support, as listed in this table:

Application Unlimited desupport table for E-Business Suite releases as of July 2008



It’s possible that you might be running an older E-Business Suite configuration that is no longer in Premier Support status.  For example, you might be running Release 11.5.7, for which Premier Support ended in May 2007. 

Our recommendation is that you upgrade those environments to the latest supported release. 

Oracle’s general support policy is that we provide support for older or uncertified configurations on a best-efforts basis, subject to available staff, resources, and expertise. For these configurations, we provide — on a best-efforts basis — debugging
and diagnostic guidance for isolating issues, and workarounds where it’s technically feasible. There may be cases where workarounds are not technically feasible.  If so, the ultimate recommendation may be to upgrade to a certified and supported
configuration.
