Access Oracle Apps R12 / 11i from Linux Client (Mozilla Firefox)

How to access Oracle Apps 11i/R12 professional forms from Linux Client ?
In you to access forms from Linux client, Three steps are installed (You can skip first if Mozilla
is installed on your Linux client)

1. Install Mozilla Browser

2. Install JRE on client machine (JRE version to install will depend on Server
configuration,
Identify which version of JRE you need on client machine
– For 11i/R12 : Login to server as application o.s. user (applmgr), set
environment variable and run
grep plugin $CONTEXT_FILE(If you get output like 1.5.0_13 you need JRE 1.5.0
patchset 13, if its 1.5.0_10 you need 1.5.0 patchset 10; or for 1.4.2_04 you need
1.4.2 patchset 4)
3. 3. Use JRE installed above on client machine in Browser (Mozilla)Plugin
1. Install FireFox Mozilla
–Download Mozilla for Linux from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html#en  firefox-
2.0.0.7.tar.gz
– “gunzip -d firefox-2.0.0.7.tar.gz” (You will get unzipped file with name as firefox-2.0.0.7.tar)
– Extract tar file as “tar -xvf firefox-2.0.0.7.tar”
– This will create directory called “firefox” which is under you will see executable called
“firefox“; Use this executable to start FireFox on Linux machine.
2. Install JRE on client machine
–Download JRE  5.0 Update 10 (change this as per your server plugin version shown
above; I am on 12.0.0 hence 1_5.0.10) for Linux from
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/5.0_10/index.html
”jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586-rpm.bin”
–”chmod 755 jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586-rpm.bin”
–./jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586-rpm.bin (You will be asked to accept license agreement , click
enter and when prompted to accept license enter Yes)
–This will install jre 1.5.10 in linux machine under /usr/java and plugin is installed under
/usr/java/jre1.5.0_10/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
