cycles.
Internet Explorer, the Windows desktop operating system and service pack
requirements are available from Microsoft.

Microsoft Windows 10 Servicing Options

Microsoft provides updates for Windows 10 via its servicing options as follows:
LTSC (Long Term Servicing Channel) - Previously known as LTSB (Long Term Servicing
Branch)
Semi-Annual Channel - Previously known as CB (Current Branch)
Semi-Annual Channel - Previously known as CBB (Current Branch for Business)

For further information see, Overview of Windows as a service and Windows 10

release information.
Oracle E-Business Suite is certified with all these Windows 10 servicing options.

Section 3: Server Security

Many of the client/server products that are used with EBS are development tools.
These tools should be run against development/test instances and any artifacts be
packaged and tested before being deployed as patches into the production system.

If you still have a need to connect to the EBS production database directly from a
client tool this should be done from secured, trusted servers rather than from end
user desktop machines. This should be done using a remote server environment such
as Windows Server Terminal Services, Citrix or Tarantella. For more information on
securing Terminal Services in an EBS environment, see:

For Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2, section "Using Terminal Services for
Client-Server Programs" in the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 Security Guide.
For Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1, section "Using Terminal Services for
Client-Sever Programs" in Secure Configuration For Oracle E-Business Suite Release
12.1 (Document 403537.1)
For Oracle E-Business Suite 11i, refer to Appendix B: Oracle E-Business Suite
Release 11i Server Security.

Be aware of the following important additional points regarding certification:

Oracle Forms Developer 10g and Reports Developer 10g are certified for
developing/customizing Forms and Reports for use within an Oracle E-Business Suite
Release 12 environment.
For further information and requirements, see My Oracle Support Knowledge Document
444248.1, Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle
Applications Release 12.
As stated in that document, forms and reports should be compiled and run on your
Oracle E-Business Suite environment.
Oracle Forms Developer 10g and Reports Developer 10g are not certified for use as a
standalone install.
4.4.2 Installation on a Windows Desktop
Step 1. Obtaining the Software
As stated above, Oracle Developer Suite 10gR2 (10.1.2.0.2) has reached end of life
and is no longer available for public download. EBS users can obtain this software
by submitting a media request through Oracle Support.

Step 2. Patch Staging Directory

Ensure your Windows desktop patch staging directory name does not contain spaces
(for example, patch dir), as this can cause certain patches to fail with a 'Wrong
number of arguments' error.

OPATCH_JAVA_ERROR : Wrong number of arguments Files on system are patched but

Inventory Update has failed. Please run 'opatch lsinventory' to check if the patch
has been recorded in Inventory.
Step 3. Install Oracle Developer Suite 10gR2 (10.1.2.0.2)
Launching the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) included in Oracle Developer Suite
10gR2 (10.1.2.0.2) will fail on the operating system version check with an error
like the following:

Checking operating system version: must be 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2. Actual 6.2
To work around this issue, run the setup.exe from Patch 10396165 instead,
specifying the -ignoreSysPrereqs parameter to skip the operating system version
check.

Unzip Patch 10396165 into the patch directory (<patch_dir>) on your desktop.

To launch OUI, run setup.exe from a Windows command prompt using the -
ignoreSysPrereqs parameter as shown below:
C:\> <Patch_Dir>\10396165\Disk1\setup.exe -ignoreSysPrereqs
Install Oracle Developer Suite 10gR2 (10.1.2.0.2) through your OUI session.
Note: Specifying the -ignoreSysPrereqs parameter with releases prior to 10.1.2.0.2
will result in the error Abnormal program termination. An internal error has
occurred. To avoid this, ensure you are running setup.exe from Patch 10396165.
Step 4. Upgrade Java
Oracle Developer Suite comes packaged with Java 1.4.2, which is end of life (EOL).
It is advisable to upgrade the JDK under your Oracle Developer Suite <ORACLE_HOME>
to a more recent JDK release. Do this as follows.

In case you need to roll back, start by renaming the existing Java directories
using commands like the following:
C:\> move <ORACLE_HOME>\jdk <ORACLE_HOME>\jdk_142
C:\> move <ORACLE_HOME>\jre <ORACLE_HOME>\jre_142
Download a Windows 32-bit JDK release.

All Java 7 releases are available from My Oracle Support Knowledge Document
2884004.2, JDK 7 Restricted Releases Overview. Ensure you download the latest
available release. For more information, refer to Document 2510500.1, FAQ:
Essentials of Java Usage in Oracle E-Business Suite.

Run the JDK executable file (installer).

When prompted, change the JDK 'Install to' directory (at the bottom of the
Installer screen) to <ORACLE_HOME>\jdk.

During the install you will also be prompted to install the JRE. When asked, change
the JRE 'Install to' directory to <ORACLE_HOME>\jre.
Step 5. Upgrade Oracle Developer Suite to 10.1.2.3
Upgrade Oracle Developer Suite to 10g R2 Software Update 10.1.2.3 through OUI by
applying the Win32 release of Patch 5983622 to your Oracle Developer Suite
<ORACLE_HOME>.

You must launch OUI from Patch 5983622 using the -ignoreSysPrereqs parameter as
shown below:

C:\> <Patch_Dir>\5983622\Disk1\setup.exe -ignoreSysPrereqs

Step 6. Upgrade the OUI Installer Files
For further information refer to Document 283367.1, Using OPatch 10.1 for Oracle
Application Server 10g (10.1.2, 10.1.3, 10.1.4).

You will now upgrade the OUI Installer files from 10.1.0.5 to 10.1.0.6 in your
Oracle Developer Suite <ORACLE_HOME> through Patch 6640838 by following its README.
Ensure you select and deselect the components as stated in the README of Patch
6640838.

Before applying Patch 6640838, follow the steps below to remove 'Read Only'
Permissions on the OPatch directory:

Right-click on <ORACLE_HOME>\OPatch.
Select 'Properties' from the drop down menu.
Uncheck 'Read-only (Only applies to files in folder)'
Click the 'Apply' button.
Select 'Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files'.
Install the patch (through OUI) into your Oracle Developer Suite <ORACLE_HOME>, as
shown below:

C:\> <Patch_Dir>\p6640838_10106_WINNT\cd\Disk1\install\setup.exe -ignoreSysPrereqs
