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 Excel Export Issue on Windows Vista Client

Vista prevents applets from creating files in the local file system if the User Account Control (UAC) system is turned on. You can experience this problem if you have the UAC setting enabled on Vista and if you use a component like Discoverer Plus. If you start Discoverer Plus and if you try exporting a worksheet to a specified directory, the exporting succeeds but you cannot see the exported file in the directory. The available workarounds is to disable UAC and set protection mode to OFF. Refer to Bugs 8410655 and 7328867 for additional information.

1.5.2.3 Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports 11g Installer Issues In Windows Vista and Windows XP

Only the design-time environments (Builders) are supported for Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports in Windows Vista and Windows XP.However, in the Configure Components screen in the Oracle Installer, the Server Components, Management Components and System Components are selected by default, but Developer Tools is deselected. When installing Oracle Forms Builder, or Oracle Reports Builder on Windows Vista and Windows XP computers, you must:

• Select Developer Tools, such as Oracle Forms Builder or Oracle Reports Builder. Their respective server components are automatically selected.

• Deselect all System Components and Management Components.

• Deselect the Portal and Discoverer tools. Two of the Discoverer components – Discoverer Admin and Discoverer Desktop – will be installed even if you do not select Discoverer in the Configure Components screen of the installer. This is the correct, expected behavior in 11.1.1.1.0.

For Oracle Forms, since the System Components including Oracle HTTP Server are not supported in Windows Vista and Windows XP, the following features are not supported:

1. Oracle Forms and Reports integration.

2. The creation of virtual directories.
