This FAQ topic continues to bounce around, suggesting that this needs to be called out explicitly:
EBS concurrent managers do not need to be installed on database servers any more.
Nick Quarmby correctly noted this as one of five common mistakes that customers make when installed the E-Business Suite:
Installation media for all Oracle products can be downloaded from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud (SDC, formerly called Oracle eDelivery). You can use this site to obtain Media Packs for the latest versions of all licensable Oracle products. Media Packs are available in zip and ISO formats, which you (more...)

I recently spent four weeks travelling internationally for business with just an iPad mini. I left my laptop and regular iPad at home. Misha Vaughn, an architect in our User Experience group, became curious and interviewed me about my impressions. This is a bit of a departure from our regular coverage on this blog, but I'm pleased to let you know that she's published a few excerpts from that conversation on her site:
Misha's blog, VoX ("Voice of User Experience for Applications"), is really interesting reading, by (more...)
Oracle JInitiator 1.3 was desupported for E-Business Suite environments at the end of July 2009. JInitiator 1.1.8 was desupported at the end of December 2008. E-Business Suite users should have switched from Oracle JInitiator to the native Java JRE plug-in at that time.
Some users might be seeing confusing error messages like this:
FRM-92095: Oracle Jlnitiator version too low. Please install version 1.1.8.2 or higher.

Microsoft has recently announced their plans to automatically update IE 8 or IE 9 on Windows 7 desktops to IE 10; see:
Microsoft states:
Distribution of Internet Explorer 10 by Automatic Updates will begin slowly and take several months to complete.
We're still certifying Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 with Oracle E-Business Suite. We expect IE 10 to work with few issues, but it is always prudent to ensure that your mission-critical desktops remain on an earlier certified IE version until this certification is completed.
