EnterpriseOne Minimum Technical Requirements

Recently, I found that the Minimum Technical Requirements for Oracle EnterpriseOne to be a little difficult to track down. 

So I thought I should create a post about it here so that I don’t have to waste a bunch of time looking for it. 

If I remember I did this, anyway.

Oracle Give Away Extended Support

I got this email this morning:

Dear JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Customer,

During the recent COLLABORATE conference Oracle President Charles Phillips announced that Oracle will waive first year Extended Support fees for certain product lines. This includes 8.11 and 8.11 SP1 for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

What is Extended Support?
Many JD Edwards legacy programs are supported under Oracle’s Lifetime Support Policy. This means that when Premier Support ends, you may continue to receive updates, and legislative and regulatory fixes for an additional three years under Oracle’s Extended Support. Please be sure to review Oracle’s Lifetime Support Policy for details regarding each JD Edwards release.

How Does this Affect You?
All customers currently using JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 8.11 and 8.11 SP1 will have the first year of their Extended Support fee waived. After that you will have the option of continuing your Extended Support service, and can contact your Support Sales representative to initiate the purchasing process.

For more information, please review the following article on MetaLink 3, NOTE: 778948.1, or contact Global Customer Support for further questions.

I wonder if you still get the HelpDesk101-type support when you first call?  I’m not trying to be negative, but you know what I mean:

• Have you applied all the ESUs?
• Have you modified the object?
• Are you on the latest Tools Release?
• Could you send me a full set of logs for both the web server and the enterprise server? – Yeah, sure. Have funning going through 2 GB of TEXT!

Anyway, it may be a good deal.

Simple E1 URLs

Jeff Stevenson has a very good post on his blog about simplifying how users access EnterpriseOne using Apache virtual hosts, DNS mappings, host aliases and redirects.

Make a URL that looks like this:

http://server.company.com:82/jde/owhtml

Look like this:

http://e1.company.com or http://e1

Thanks, Jeff!

The EnterpriseOne Session Timeout Two-Step…Ok, Three Step

We have several work areas that require a longer inactive timeout setting than the default 20 minutes (Payroll Time-entry, Fixed Asset Accounting, etc.).

Unfortunately, EnterpriseOne’s architecture does not make the process of configuring a session timeout very easy.  There are three separate separate settings that need to configured correctly.  Depending on your architecture that could mean three separate machines using three separate platforms.  Whatever your architecture looks like there are at least three.

1. The Java Application Server (JAS).  No matter what flavor of JAS you are running (IBM Websphere, Oracle Application Server, BEA, etc.) you will need to configure the application’s user session timeout setting.  The screenshots for IBM Websphere 6.0.2.13 are below:

    
   

2. The EnterpriseOne HTML Server.  This setting is in the JAS.INI under the [CACHE] stanza.  The setting is in milliseconds (3600000 = 1 hour).  If you are running the Oracle Server Manager for EnterpriseOne, you can find it in the “Cache Configuration section under the “Web Runtime” configuration.
    
   
3. The HTTP server.  The instructions for both Microsoft IIS and IBM HTTP Server follows:
   • Microsoft IIS:
     • Display the properties of the website that is configured to host EnterpriseOne
     • On the “Website” tab, modify the “Connection Timeout” setting.  Please note that this value is in seconds, not milliseconds.
   • IBM HTTP Server:
     • Edit the “Timeout” setting in the HTTPD.CONF file.  Please note that this value is in seconds, not milliseconds.

NOTE:  To avoid record locking Oracle specifies to configure the system so that the JAS server will “timeout” the user’s session.  To do that both the EnterpriseOne HTML Server and the HTTP server need to be set to great times than the JAS server.  For example:

• To configure a timeout value of 30 minutes:
  • JAS Server: 30
  • EnterpriseOne HTML Server: 3600000
  • HTTP Server: 3600

EnterpriseOne Tools Release 8.97 & 8.98 Not Compatible With FireFox 3

In doing some last minute testing with EnterpriseOne Tools Release 8.97.2.0, I found that the applications do not render in FireFox 3.  The error that I received in the WAS log is:

VTFormRenderAdaptee: renderHTML4: failed to render:
java.util.MissingResourceException:
Can't find bundle for base name nls.CPResource, locale

This issue is documented under MetaLink BUG 8917620 & 8917611.  The final disposition that is documented as:

Fixfox 3 does not work with e1 due to build id length

change in user agent string, and E1 fail to match it to

firefox pattern with shorter build date pattern.

The following is useragent string for

FF2: MOZILLA/5.0 (WINDOWS; U; WINDOWS NT 5.1; EN-US;

RV:1.8.1.17) GECKO/20080829 FIREFOX/2.0.0.17

FF3: MOZILLA/5.0 (WINDOWS; U; WINDOWS NT 5.2; EN-US;

RV:1.9.0.3) GECKO/2008092417 FIREFOX/3.0.3

Pattern in browsCap.ini for FF2

[*(Win*) Gecko/???????? Firefox/2.*]

Pattern in browsCap.ini for FF3

[*(Win*) Gecko/???????? Firefox/3.*]

With length of build id change from 8 digits to 10 digits

the matching does not work for firefox 3 and runtime fail

to render the E1 form. The solution is to change the match

patter to more generic format without length limitation of

build id by using single wildcard.

[*(Win*) Gecko/* Firefox/3.*]

The change shall be applied to all version of firefox start

from 3. And we may need to check the fix into 897, since

the customer may alread begin to use FF3 instead of FF2.

Oracle MetaLink 3… AKA The Orion Project

So, have you noticed?

If you go to the MetaLink 3 homepage, the title of the page is “Orion MetaLink”.  “Orion” was Oracle’s project name for the upgrade of MetaLink.

I’m thinking that they should probably change the title of the page.
