1.2 Purpose of this Document

This document contains the release information for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1). It describes differences between Oracle Fusion Middleware and its documented functionality.

Oracle recommends you review its contents before installing, or working with the product.

1.3 System Requirements and Specifications

Oracle Fusion Middleware installation and configuration will not complete successfully unless users meet the hardware and software pre-requisite requirements before installation.

For more information, see "Review System Requirements and Specifications" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide

1.4 Memory Requirements

Oracle Fusion Middleware memory requirements for installation, configuration, and runtime are as follows:

  1. Without a Database on the same server: Minimum 4 GB physical memory and 4 GB swap.

  2. With a Database on the same server: Minimum 6 GB physical memory and 6 GB swap.

Note:

These minimum memory values are with the assumption that no user or operating system process is consuming any unusually high amount of memory. If such a condition exists, corresponding amount of additional physical memory will be required.

1.5.2.1 Certification Information for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g R1 with Oracle Database 11.2.0.1

If you choose to configure Oracle Internet Directory with Database vault, do the following:

  1. Apply patch 8897382 to fix bug 8897382.

    Note:

    the following workaround is required only if the Oracle Fusion Middleware version is 11.1.1.1.0 (11gR1). This issue will be fixed in 11.1.1.2.0.
  2. Apply the workaround for bug 8987186 by editing <OH>/ldap/datasecurity/dbv_oid_command_rules.sql file and find the following declaration:

    /declare
     begin
          dvsys.dbms_macadm.CREATE_COMMAND_RULE(
          command => 'CONNECT'
          ,rule_set_name => 'OID App Access'
          ,object_owner => 'ODS'
          ,object_name => '%'
          ,enabled => 'Y');
     commit;
    end;/
    

and change the line that is indicated in bold:

/declare
 begin
      dvsys.dbms_macadm.CREATE_COMMAND_RULE(
      command => 'CONNECT'
      ,rule_set_name => 'OID App Access'
      ,object_owner => '%'
      ,object_name => '%'
      ,enabled => 'Y');
 commit;
end;/

1.5.2.2 Restrictions on Specific Browsers

1.5.2.2.1 Java Plugin for Discoverer Plus Not Downloaded Automatically on Firefox

When you attempt to connect to Discoverer Plus by using the Mozilla Firefox browser on a computer that does not have Java 1.6 installed, Firefox does not download the JRE 1.6 plug-in automatically. Instead, Firefox displays the following message: "Additional plugins are required to display this page..."

The workaround is to download the JRE 1.6 plug-in by clicking the Install Missing Plugin link to install it manually.

1.5.2.3 Process to Install and Configure WebCenter With 32-bit JDK on Supported 64-Bit Platform

For WebCenter 11g Release 1, the following platform has been verified with 32-bit JDK:

Solaris Sparc:

32-bit Sun JDK 1.6.0_11+

1.5.3 Upgrading Sun JDK From 1.6.0_07 to 1.6.0_11

For information, see "Section 2.1.5.3, "Upgrading Sun JDK in the Oracle Home Directory."

1.5.4 JMSDELIVERYCOUNT Is Not Set Properly

When using AQ JMS with Oracle Database 11.2.0.1, JMXDELIVERYCOUNT is not set correctly.

The workaround is to apply patch 9932143 to Oracle Database 11.2.0.1. For more information, contact Oracle Support.

1.5.5 Viewer Plugin Required On Safari 4 To View Raw XML Source

You need a Safari plugin to view raw XML. If there is no plugin installed, you will see unformatted XML which will be difficult to read. This is because Safari applies a default stylesheet, which only displays the text nodes in the XML document.

As a workaround, go to View > View Source in the Safari menu bar to see the full XML of the metadata document. Also, selecting File > Save and choosing XML Files as the file type, will correctly save the XML metadata file with all the markup intact.
