Certified
JDKs
In general, Oracle Application Server 10g
(9.0.4, 10.1.2.x, and 10.1.3.x) supports using JDK extensions higher
than the one the product originally shipped with. For example, on 9.0.4
it is possible to move from JDK 1.3.1_06 to extension JDK 1.3.1_07 or
beyond. Please consult Table 1
and Table 3to see the JDK
versions supported on each platform.
If you want to use different JDK versions or JDK
providers
than those shipped with the application server, please consult Table 1 and Table 3
check the JDK certification information to ensure Oracle supports this
configuration. JDK switching is only supported post installation.
Footnote 1 A
plus sign (+) after the fourth digit in the version number indicates
that this and all higher versions of the JRE/JINIT/JDK extensions are
certified. For example, 1.4.2_(06+) means that 1.4.2_06, 1.4.1_07, and
any later 1.4.2_xx
versions are certified. See Table 1
for vendors supported for your platform.
Footnote 2 The
64 bit version of the Sun JDK is certified for use with customer J2EE
applications. See the 64-bit JDK Upgrade Documentation for Solaris64
(SPARC) available on OracleMetalink
in Note
373535.1.
Footnote 3 Certified

Oracle Database 11g Certification for
Customer
Data, and for Use with Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository
Creation Assistant
All available editions of Oracle Database 11g
(11.1.0.6) or higher are supported. For specific database
certification information for your platform, please refer to the
database certification documentation on Metalink:
http://metalink.oracle.com.
Known Limitations
The Metadata Repository Creation Assistant is
incompatible with
Database 11.1.0.6. Therefore, customers should ensure that
the
Metadata Repository for AS10gR2 is created on a previous version of the
database and then upgrade the database version to 11.1.0.6.
Customers
planning to patch the Application Server environment to
patch set 10.1.2.2 must apply the patch prior to upgrading the database
to 11.1.0.6 to ensure that the patch installer will patch the Metadata
Repository.
Customers
using Oracle Portal must upgrade the portal version to 10.1.4.1 before upgrading the
database to 11.1.0.6 and must apply patch 6123780
(http://updates.oracle.com/download/6123780.html) after upgrading
the database to 11.1.0.6.
Oracle
Internet Directory requires patch 6635809
(http://updates.oracle.com/download/6635809.html). Select the
appropriate release and platform to download the required patch.
Oracle
Database 10g and
earlier Certification for Customer Data, and for Use with Oracle
Application Server Metadata Repository Creation Assistant
The following database terms are used in this section:
customer
database: The original and
primary database for storing your application data. Unless otherwise
noted, the customer databases listed in this chapter are Oracle
databases.
seed database: The Oracle Database
that is installed when you perform an Oracle Application Server
Infrastructure installation.
metadata repository: A database
containing schemas and objects needed by Oracle Application Server
components. The metadata repository can be the seed database or can be
loaded into an existing database. Unless otherwise noted, the metadata
repositories listed in this chapter are Oracle databases.
Please visit OracleMetalink
to download the ARU patch to be applied to a 9.2.0.x
database. Please use the
Oracle Database 10g
(10.1.0.4.2) Patch Set CD-ROM to patch a 10.1.x
database.
You can create the Metadata Repository on platforms on which
Oracle
Application Server Metadata Repository Creation Assistant is not
certified. To do so, run OracleAS Metadata Repository Creation
Assistant on a certified platform and use the Remote Load feature to
load the Metadata Repository on an Oracle Database certified for use as
the Metadata Repository.
Oracle Application Server does not support a subset of the
configurations supported by the Oracle Database. Wherever we certify a
specific version of the Oracle Database for creating the Oracle
Application Server Metadata Repository, it is certified in all
the configurations that the Oracle Database itself supports (such as a
single instance, RAC, RAC with ASM) unless otherwise indicated.
