- Upgrading to JDK 6.0 requires Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.3 or higher.
- To enable you to take advantage of the latest stability, performance, and security updates, Oracle strongly recommends that you upgrade your Oracle Application Server 10.1.3 Oracle Home to the latest available release by following the instructions in My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 454811.1, Upgrading to the Latest OracleAS 10g 10.1.3.x Patch Set in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.

Upgrading to Latest JDK 6.0 in OracleAS 10.1.2 Oracle_Home
- Oracle Application Server (OracleAS) 10g Forms and Reports comes with JDK 1.4.
- Before you upgrade to JDK 1.6, Oracle recommend that you apply the latest forms and reports patches listed in My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 437878.1, Upgrading OracleAS 10g Forms and Reports in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.
Upgrading to Latest JRE 6.0 on Database Tier Node
Note: If you have upgraded the Oracle database version to 11gR2 or higher on the database tier, do not perform this section since the AutoConfig uses the JRE from <Oracle_Home>/jdk/jre.
- To upgrade the JRE in the Oracle E-Business Suite database tier from JRE 1.5 to JRE 1.6 (for release 12.0.x customers) and to upgrade to the latest JRE 1.6 updates (for release 12.1.x customers), if your Oracle database version is below 11gR2.
