OATS 12.2 - recording Oracle EBS Forms - difficulties with Java
I did a fresh installation OATS 12.2 to get some of the new features and tried recently the EBS Forms recording.
I am identifying two related issues where I need your assistance.
Initially I had only one Java installed, the one coming with Oracle EBS 12.1, which is in my case 1.6.0_07 (32bit). Working with the EBS Application was ok, but no Forms recording happend, always only html steps in Open Script.
Then I additionally installed java 1.6.0_31 (32bit), and since then also the forms recording worked well, except two exceptions:
1) I am always asked to agree to run a lower java version, when I start EBS Forms.
Q: How Can I suppress this java security message?
2) When I playback my recording, after opening the Forms part, the playback waits for about 30 seconds until continuing, so my total script duration is quite too much.
Q: What can I do to avoid this internal delay?
-----------
Here is what I did already to overcome both issues (without success):
- removed / installed both java again + PC restart
- cleared java cache
- verified that no OpenScript diagnostic message appears negative
- tested the demo cases from Oracle EBS itself, exactly the same behavior.
- installed 1.6.0_38 java (32bit), same behavior as described
- I am on Win7 64bit, IE8
- think time is set to No-Delay
- Prefs>Playback>EBS/Forms> Suppress JRE Plug In Security Dialog = ticked (does not change anything)
Can you help?
Thanks

Update
-----------
The OATS OpenScript 12.2 comes with java 1.6.0.26. If I persuade the EBS to use the same as default (via /forms/server/appsweb.cfg), then the first issue goes obviously away (although the approach is probably not a good one).
But still, when using now always java 1.6.0.26, the completely unexpected wait time, my second issue, is still there.
The unexpected wait time is exactly in front of the first keyboard interaction into the Forms
(in my case when the command gets fired: InvokeSoftKey textField("@name='PROFILE_OPTIONS_PROFILE_OPTION_NAME_0'"))
And then 30 sec later, the playback runs as fast as expected through all forms fields.
Perhaps someone can guide what is the right approach?
