Banner Javaclient Upgrade
Banner forms will be moving to Oracle forms 10.1.2 which will no longer support jinitiator. These new forms work best with the newest java client 1.6 There are some programming consequences to this (require newest forms developer which is not backwards compatable. There is a conversion utility) The biggest thing campus will see is this requirement to change to java client 1.6 It's possible to set up the forms server to automatically download 1.6 if no previous version exists on the client machine. However, I'm thinking most people are going to have a 1.5x version on their machine. The thin clients will be easy to deal with. The rest of campus may require the Chinese fire drill. It's been awhile since one of those. We have until early March to come up with a plan so have scheduled a Banner team meeting to figure out how best to deal with it.
I've been running 1.6 along with the rest of the Banner team for a couple of months so we can do this before the forms switch. The advantage of the 1.6 is it fixes the loss of mouse focus.
