Today we’ll take a short breather from OpenWorld coverage, since I’m still doggedly plowing through what seems like a terabyte’s worth of Powerpoint presentations.


If you’re still debating the value of participating in our Early Adopter Program for replacing Oracle’s Jinitiator with the native Sun Java plug-in for your E-Business Suite users, here’s another possible conflict scenario with Oracle Business Intelligence 10g that’s recently been uncovered.

If you have both of the following combinations in your environment:
  1. E-Business Suite Release 11i configured with Jinitiator 1.3.x
  2. Discoverer 10g 10.1.2 configured with Sun Java 1.4.x or 1.5.x
Then you may encounter conflicts between the Java Virtual Machines for those two configurations.  These conflicts will trigger one or both of the following errors:
  • ‘Runtime Error! Program: C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe abnormal program termination’
  • “Register Failk”
If you run into this situation, Metalink Note 396773.1 lists a number of possible workarounds.  It may also be worth looking into our Early Adopter Program, as well, to see if that configuration eliminates the conflict in a less-painful manner than the workarounds.
