For those of you tracking the latest releases, 10gR2 Version 10.2.0.4 is now certified for Release 11i. We’re anxiously awaiting certification for Release 12. Oracle has released the latest Critical Patch Update - be sure to check out www.integrigy.com’s evaluation of the July 2008 CPU, which points to the resolution of a high risk database vulnerability that makes applying the July 2008 CPU well worth your consideration. You’ll need to be running at least Release 11.5.10 and ATG_PF.H RUP 5 or RUP 6 to apply CPUs.

And speaking of ATG RUP 6, we had a Release 11i AIX customer experience a complete loss of service when they could not login to their Oracle applications environment (they saw a “Page not found” error) after upgrading to ATG_PF.H RUP 6 and JDK 1.6. The problem turned out to be two independent issues: the first issue was resolved after reviewing MetaLink Doc. ID: 422766.1, Cache Initialization Failure on AIX > platform, which required that the customer roll back their JDK version from JDK 1.6 to JDK 1.4.2. Patch 6801616 is supposed to resolve this issue, but is not available at this point, so the workaround is to rollback. The second issue required Patch 6841295 - DB SESSIONS FROM JVMS ARE VERY VERY HIGH AFTER ATG RUP6 + JDK 1.6 UPGRADE. As it turns out, this patch is needed even with JDF 1.4.2, as the issue is related to ATG_PF.H RUP 6.

Incidentally, if you are planning to apply ATG_PF.H RUP 6, keep careful track of MetaLink Doc. ID: 459353.1, External Tracking Note For Bugs On Top Of 11i.ATG_PF.H.delta.6 (RUP6) - 5903765. This document points to a number of issues, as well as to an unpublished note 550403.1 that describes the ATG RUP 6 performance issue: Connection leaks from fnd_security_pkg.fnd_encrypted_pwd that made it necessary for our client to retreat back to JDK 1.4.2.
