A customer recently reported an issue where they needed to bounce their E-Business Suite application tier (mid-tier) servers once a week to resolve stability issues. This shouldn't be necessary. We recommend against bouncing EBS application servers regularly. We've done a lot of work with the E-Business Suite to ensure that regular bounces are not required with the latest releases. Bouncing your system can reduce performance It seems counter-intuitive, but bouncing your...

[July 30, 2012 update: Corrected Note reference to 823586.1] [Sept. 2, 2011 update: Our Maximum Availability Architecture architects have pointed out two additional considerations that are documented in our existing documentation: 1) Although SCAN listener is supported with EBS 12, if scan_name resolves in DNS to IP1 and IP2, the client-side 10.1.2 network code does not use round robin on the underlyng IPs if the first IP fails. An Autoconfig solution for this is being...

Some questions following our last JRE certification indicated that there's still lingering confusion about which JRE releases are safe to use with E-Business Suite environments. To recap: JRE releases 1.6.0_18 through 1.6.0_22 had issues with mismanaging session cookies that affected some users in some circumstances. The fix for those issues was first included in JRE 1.6.0_23. These fixes will carry forward and continue to be fixed in all future JRE releases. In other...
