[Nov 8, 2007 Update: Vista is now certified with IE 7 for E-Business Suite Release 11i and 12. See this article for full details.]
[Oct 11, 2007: See the latest Update #5: Vista Certification with the E-Business Suite]
We haven’t received a lot of responses to our informal survey about your plans for upgrading to Microsoft Windows Vista. However, the requests for updates on our pending Vista certification are gradually becoming more commonplace, so here’s a quick summary of where we are today for Release 11i and 12 certification of that desktop client.
As of today, we’re still working on certifying both Release 11i and 12 with Vista. This configuration is expected to require the use of Sun’s J2SE 6.0 plug-in, but we’re also evaluating the use of the J2SE 5.0 plug-ins, too. At this stage, I suspect that it’s unlikely that we’ll be certifying JInitiator with E-Business Suite clients running on Vista, but that’s also still under investigation.
In the process of our testing, we’ve identified a Sun J2SE bug that affects E-Business Suite environments for Vista deployments. This is a critical issue, unfortunately, and we’re working with Sun to get this into a future J2SE release. As of today, we don’t have a firm schedule for the next J2SE release containing this fix. As a result, we don’t have a firm schedule for the completion of our Vista certifications for either Apps 11i or 12 right now, either.
I’ll continue to post updates on this certification and the configurations that we expect to support as soon as I have more details that I can share here. Stay tuned…
