This post covers how to upgrade to the newer Java 7.0 Update on all tier nodes.
Please note that the JRE 7.0 upgrade on the database tier is independent of the others. But if the application tier nodes are planned to be upgraded to Java 7.0, the same upgrade in the OracleAS 10.1.2 ORACLE HOME must be planned together.

Upgrading to Latest JRE 7.0 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.
- Perform steps, to upgrade the JDK in the Oracle E-Business Suite database tier from JDK 1.5/1.6 to JDK 7.0 if your Oracle database version is below 11gR2.
