Reply-To: 

All EBS desktop administrators must disable JRE Auto-Update for their end-users immediately. See this externally-published article:

• URGENT BULLETIN: Disable JRE Auto-Update for All E-Business Suite End-Users
  https://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan/entry/bulletin_disable_jre_auto_update

Why is this required?

If you have Auto-Update enabled, your JRE 1.6 version will be updated to JRE 7.

• This may happen as early as July 3, 2012.
• This will definitely happen after Sept. 7, 2012, after the release of 1.6.0_35 (6u35).

Oracle Forms is not compatible with JRE 7 yet. JRE 7 has not been certified with Oracle E-Business Suite yet. Oracle E-Business Suite functionality based on Forms -- e.g. Financials -- will stop working if you upgrade to JRE 7.

No more flash @metalink

No more Flash!

At last, Metalink - Oracle is returning back to the html pages. I loved to see the words - "and will eventually replace the Flash site" . The pages get loaded pretty fast compared to the flash version.
Sadly, we can no more sneak down for a coffee or walk around the park, while waiting for the metalink to load.  Well, I'd miss Flash at least on that count.
