Developer 6i Patch Set 19 upgrade with EBS 11i

It has been more than two years since the last Developer 6i patchset 18 was certified with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i, and now, Developer 6i patchset 19 (6.0.8.28) is certified with Oracle Apps 11i.

Actually, since we migrated from Jinitiator to Java JRE 1.6, we've encountered some frustrating mouse focus issues, I really hope they were fixed with this patch and won't appear after upgrade.

Like with the last patch set, I'll bring you "step-by-step" upgrade instructions for linux deployments.
Other Operation Systems's need another patches - see Note 125767.1 - Upgrading Developer 6i with Oracle Applications 11i.

*** All patches must be installed on all Application tier nodes

1. Stop all application processes by adstpall.sh
    
   
2. Apply the latest certified Developer 6i patch set 19 (6194129) 
   - Source applications environment (e.g source .../testappl/APPSORA.env) 
   - Verify that $ORACLE_HOME is the 806_ORACLE_HOME
   - Execute with applmgr user
   

   $ unzip p6194129_60828_LINUX.zip $ cd developer6i_patch19 $ ./patch_install.sh 2>&1 | tee patch_install_p19.log

   
   - Check patch_install_p19.log for any errors
   - Execute the following to relink Procedure Builder, Forms, Graphics and Reports
   

   $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/procbuilder60/lib; make -f ins_procbuilder.mk install $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/lib; make -f ins_forms60w.mk install $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/graphics60/lib; make -f ins_graphics60w.mk install $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/reports60/lib; make -f ins_reports60w.mk install

   
   

3. Apply patch 9863561- Unzip patch file
   

   %cd $ORACLE_HOME %unzip p9863561_60828_GENERIC.zip

   
   - Backup old files
   

   %mkdir $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/java/oracle/forms/backup %cp -r $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/java/oracle/forms/engine $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/java/oracle/forms/backup %cp -r $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/java/oracle/forms/handler $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/java/oracle/forms/backup %cp -r $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/java/oracle/forms/ui $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/java/oracle/forms/backup

4.  Special Instruction

$cd $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/java jar -xvf f60all.jar oracle/forms/ui/VBean.class

Copy patch to appropriate directories

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/9863561/oracle/forms/engine $ cp * $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/java/oracle/forms/engine/Main.class $cd $ORACLE_HOME/9863561/oracle/forms/handler $cp * $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/java/oracle/forms/handler/AlertDialog.class $cd $ORACLE_HOME/9863561/oracle/forms/ui $cp * $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/java/oracle/forms/ui/VImage.class

Backup the Forms java subtree and extract the changed files

% cd $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/java % cp -r oracle/ewt oracle/ewt.PREBUG9863561 % jar -xvf $ORACLE_HOME/9863561/ewt3.jar % rm META-INF/MANIFEST.MF % rmdir META-INF

Verify that the EWT version has been updated under the

           $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/java directory.
       For example:
       % ls -la oracle/ewt | grep 3_4_49

- Regenerate Jar files
- Execute adadmin
- Select the "Generate Applications Files menu" option
- Select "Generate product JAR files"
- Do you wish to force regeneration of all jar files? => Yes
- Spot check that the JAR files have been generated by verifying the timestamp

$ cd $OA_JAVA/oracle/apps/fnd/jar $ ll fndforms.jar fndewt.jar
