Upgrading to Latest Java 7.0 on Application Tier Nodes
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.0 Rapid Install uses Oracle WebLogic Server 11g (Version 11.1.1.6.0 or higher) on the application web tier node. This section describes the steps to upgrade to the latest Java 7.0 Update.
Download Latest Java 7.0 Update
For optimum stability, performance, scalability, and OS vendor support, it is advisable to use the latest available update of Java for the Oracle E-Business Suite application tier.
Java Update (maintenance) releases are denoted by a third digit in the version string, such as 1.7.0. Using Oracle Java SE as an example, the latest updates of JDK are usually denoted by a fourth set of numbers in the version string, such as 1.7.0_09, or 1.7.0.09, or simply have a name such as JDK 7u9.
Click on the appropriate link to download the Java from the site that corresponds to the operating system being used on the application tier node. Download the JDK, not the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
