New Platform

A new platform ensures you are current with the latest technologies and compliant with support and industry standards.

The following changes to the platform were implemented:

As per previous releases, the latest versions of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox are supported. It is recommended you use the relevant corporate editions of these products.
The products now support the latest releases of Java 17. Java 8 is not supported in this release. You must upgrade all your Java extensions and related site-specific third-party libraries to Java 17 for this release. Libraries supplied by Oracle in the installation are pre-certified, but any additional libraries must be appropriate for Java 17. Refer to the Oracle JDK Migration Guide for more information on utilities to use and to learn about the process. If you are using the Oracle Java Migration Cloud Service, you should recompile your code after the upgrade.
Oracle Database 19c and Oracle Database 23ai are now supported for customers. Refer to the Oracle documentation for details of the upgrade process.
Oracle Linux 8.x and Oracle Linux 9.x are now supported to house the product tiers. In this release, Oracle Solaris and IBM AIX are not supported as Oracle WebLogic no longer supports those platforms.

Platform changes are necessary to keep the products and service current and compliant with support and industry standards.

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Refer to the upgrade guides indicated in this release note for specific advice.

Refer to the installation documentation available for your product and the Certification Matrix for Oracle Utilities Products (Doc Id: 1454143.1) available from My Oracle Support for additional information.
