Oracle EBS / Java issue University IT and Finance are aware of an issue impacting the use of Java within Oracle EBS. The issue is preventing users from launching Java, therefore limiting the functionality available to staff. We are working to identify a solution to this issue and hope to have this resolved as quickly as possible.

University IT and Finance are aware of the issue impacting the use of Java within Oracle EBS. The issue is preventing users from launching Java, therefore limiting the functionality available to staff and appears to be due of a recent update to the Edge browser released by Microsoft. We believe Microsoft has recognised this issue and have released a further update which resolves the problematic behaviour. Subsequently, this change will be applied to Edge/Oracle EBS in Horizon this evening. If the update does not resolve the issue, a workaround has been provided separately to allow users to continue working.

The issue impacting the use of Java within Oracle EBS has been resolved. Microsoft has released a further update which resolved the problematic behaviour, and this was applied overnight. However, we are aware the file association that enables TSV files to be opened with Excel has stopped working. This is being investigated separately and should be resolved overnight.
