Comparisons of E-Business Suite Release 12 Rapid Install Techstacks
A reader recently asked where she could find a summary of the E-Business Suite Release 12 technology stack components for different R12 releases. As it turns out, there's a long answer to this deceptively-simple question. This level of
information is spread in a variety of release-specific Notes, making it tricky to compare which components were delivered as part of each Apps 12 Rapid Install.
Here's a high-level architectural diagram showing an overview of the major techstack components in R12:
It's possible to add on additional database options not shown above, including 11g Advanced Compression, 11g Advanced Security, and others.
Here's a summary of the versions for the important major techstack components that were included in the Rapid Install footprints for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12:

Interim Update #1: Certifying Windows 7 with Oracle E-Business Suite
Microsoft Windows 7 has been getting a lot of headlines recently. This seems to have triggered an small but noticeable increase in questions about our plans for
certifying this operating system for E-Business Suite desktop clients.
We're working with pre-release versions of Windows 7 right now. For the usual reasons that regular readers could have predicted, I can't share any certification
schedules or date estimates here. I can provide an interim update on the following Win7 questions:
Which EBS releases will be certified with Windows 7?
Which browsers will be certified?
Will Oracle JInitiator Be certified for EBS on Windows 7?
Which Windows 7 editions will be certified?
What about Windows 7E?
What about Windows XP Mode?

Roundup: Oracle JInitiator 1.3 Desupported for EBS Customers in July 2009
We've covered the impending demise of JInitiator and the certification of the native Sun Java client in many articles already. With the sun setting on Oracle Jinitiator next month, this is a good time to summarize the essentials about Windows-based
Java clients with the E-Business Suite:
Sun's Java Runtime Engine (JRE) is certified with both EBS 11i and 12
JInitiator 1.3 will be desupported at the end of July 2009
JInitiator 1.1.8 was desupported at the end of December, 2008
JInitiator cannot be run on Vista Desktops
If you haven't already started migrating your end-users to the native Sun JRE plug-in, I'd strongly recommend that you begin this process immediately.

Understanding J2SE 1.5 End-of-Life Implications for Oracle E-Business Suite
As with my previous post about the desupport of Sun's Java 1.4 release, you should be aware that the equivalent end-of-life for Sun's J2SE 1.5 is
coming up in October 2009.
Implications for E-Business Suite Users
Here are the implications if your Apps 11i or 12 environments are running on servers with J2SE 1.5:
If you log a Service Request for your environment, Oracle will continue to perform its usual diagnosis, triage, and search through our knowledge base for existing patches and workarounds. This assistance may be constrained by limited access to a
small number of remaining environments running J2SE 1.5. It is extremely unlikely that we will issue new Apps patches for new compatibility issues identified with the E-Business Suite and J2SE 1.5.
