My Oracle Support Certification Tool for Oracle Fusion Middleware Products

The most common Oracle Fusion Middleware (FMW) certifications have been integrated within My Oracle Support Certification tool beginning September 30, 2011. Beginning with FMW 11.1.1.6 and other FMW 11g R2 releases (e.g., Forms & Reports, Identity Access Management) there is a concerted effort to load all FMW certifications into the MOS Certification tool. Going forward all Oracle Fusion Middleware product certifications will be available in My Oracle Support.

• The Certification Central Hub on Oracle Technology Network (OTN) is the primary certification resource for older FMW releases and an additional channel for release certifications after FMW 11.1.1.6.  It includes comprehensive and maintained FMW certification matrices including adapters and WAS support.   Going forward, this will also be used for a single source of truth for FMW certifications. The data in My Oracle Support is derived from these matrices.
  
  
• "My Oracle Support Certifications" (http://support.oracle.com, click Certifications tab) is a self-service certification application that is part of the My Oracle Support (MOS) ecosystem which provides a structured display of certification data. MOS Certifications includes the most common FMW certification details as highlighted in the scope below.

Important:
The MOS Certification tool is not a replacement for OTN Central Hub. It is an additional tool to access only the most common FMW certifications. MOS Certifications and OTN Certification Central Hub will co-exist and maintained together using the same data. Both may be used to look up FMW certifications, depending on your requirements.  Going forward, all newer FMW product releases will be added to MOS, but older releases (e.g. 10g products) will not be added to MOS.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. SOA Certifications

Question:
I have a SOA 10g installation on an older machine and investigating hardware and Oracle product upgrades. I will need certification details for SOA 10g (10.1.3) and SOA 11g (11.1.1), primarily the operating systems, Java and Oracle Databases. Which is the best place to look for this certification information, OTN or MOS?

Answer:

All Oracle SOA Suite certification information can be found at the following location:

Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations (Certification Central Hub)
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html

Primary SOA document titles to look for:

• 11g: "System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1"
• 10g: "System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle SOA Suite and Application Adapters 10gR3"

Starting with the 11.1.1.4 and 11.1.1.5 releases, common certification details for SOA 11g is now also available on My Oracle Support by clicking the "Certifications" tab.

Question:
I have used the Certification Central Hub and/or My Oracle Support tool to obtain certified operating systems, Java and Oracle Databases. Where do I go from here? Where can I find system requirements, compatibility with other Oracle products, download locations, and Installation Guides?

Answer:
After checking certification details for your product and platform, the below documents should also be reviewed in the following order before installing your Oracle Fusion Middleware products:
