Apply patch 18277370 to JDeveloper 11.1.1.7.0

Why?

Oracle has fixes for ADF application running in Internet Explorer 11 (IE 11).

Without patch, ADF application can only run in compatibility mode in IE 11. You see a message box below:

How?

You need:

• Download patch zip file from Oracle Support
• Unzip it to a folder like C:\temp folder as example
• Have Java JDK installed, e.g. C:\Java\jdk1.7.0_51

Apply the patch:

Open Command prompt and do it in two steps:

• Step I
• cd C:\temp\p18277370_111170_Generic\18277370\oui\18277370
• set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle\Middleware\oracle_common
• C:\oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\OPatch\opatch apply -jdk C:\Java\jdk1.7.0_51
• Step II
• cd C:\temp\p18277370_111170_Generic\18277370\sa\18277370
• set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle\Middleware\jdeveloper
