Oracle Fusion Middleware 12.2.1.4.0 certified with Linux 8

Posted by Dirk Nachbar on Monday, March 30, 2020
Currently Oracle certified the Oracle Fusion Middleware 12.2.1.4.0 Components for the use of Linux 8, which includes the Oracle Linux 8 and the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.

You can find the newly added certifications in My Oracle Support (https://support.oracle.com) under the tab Certifications:

Oracle WebLogic 12.2.1.4.0 Certification:



Oracle Forms & Reports 12.2.1.4.0 Certification:



Oracle SOA Suite 12.2.1.4.0 Certification:



Moreover you can find the corresponding Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c Certifications under https://www.oracle.com/middleware/technologies/fusion-certification.html and there the Excel Sheet https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/fmw-122140-certmatrix-5763476.xlsx which contains the newly added certification for Linux 8 (Oracle Linux 8 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8).

Under the "Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications" documentation for 12.2.1.4.0 in the section "Linux Operating System Requirements" (https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/fusion-middleware/12.2.1.4/sysrs/system-requirements-and-specifications.html#GUID-37C51062-3732-4A4B-8E0E-003D9DFC8C26) you can find all required packages to be installed.
Take note that 2 of them are EL7 packages (compat-libcap1-1.10-7.el7.x86_64 and compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-72.el7.x86_64), which are not longer present in the Linux 8 distributions, so when you install your Fusion Middleware 12.2.1.4.0 components just ignore the warnings/failure for the 2 EL7 packages by using the Skip button in the graphical installer.
