Thanks.

That workaround helped . We are testing this before getting it to production

Just to confirm that this is an issue in 8.51.12 too.

May be it is a good idea to make this changes to non production, but I would recommend not to do for production as there may be some features may not work in 7 as they are not supported by oracle and the users may not complain if they see this warning.

How ever the warning does not stop logging in.

Duncan – Really a good one. I received the same error message and ended in your blog, while searching for a solution. Your initial research made me to do little more experiment with browser.xml, before implementing your workaround.

In the browser.xml, copy and paste the entries for Windows 6.0 (for Windows Vista). Change the name to Windows NT 6.1 and change the description to Windows 7. Save the changes. Restart PIA. It did the trick.

Please be noted that the real version number of Windows 7 can be found at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion – reg entry CurrentVersion – in your windows registry.

Hmm, I was wondering whether the comments here would allow angle brackets. I guess not!

The missing line from my comment above is:

[%=browserCheck%]

- just imagine the square brackets are angle brackets.

An easier way to get the same effect is simply to delete

from within the h2 tag. That will stop the warning message being written to the page and there’s no need to modify the setErrorImg function.

Nice spot. I guess the similar ‘unsupported browser’ will remain for those of us that like Chrome (due to it’s speed of navigating PeopleSoft).

This warning message will disappear within Peopletools 8.50.11, see note Oracle Completes Windows 7 Certification for PeopleSoft [ID 1128878.1].

Sure enough, I just got my first Tools 8.50/Financials 9.1 demo environment up and running and now I’m seeing this error on my Win7/IE8 desktop. Guess I’ll try your workaround, thanks!

At my shop we are on Tools 8.47.x (.13 on Portal 8.8 and .10 on HRMS 8.9 and Financials 8.9). My boss was just given a new machine by our helpdesk that is Windows 7 and IE 8. IE 8 and Windows XP has never given me any issue with PeopleSoft, but I only have that on my home box. At work, I use IE 7 and Windows XP (though I’m probably going to up it IE 8 at some point). In any event, my boss is currently having an issue with ePro. I am 80% sure it’s a Windows 7 issue, as we’ve recently changed over to full SSL (we’ve made it SSL only through the web profile on all Production environments). From what CC is telling us, we might have to put the URL that points to Financials in a servlet that is giving us this issue. I’ve tested in development and it seems to work, but have not tested it with the boss on her machine, as she’s the only one with Windows 7. No other users are experiencing this, as they are still on XP and have been using ePro happily. I am of the opinion that while Windows 7 is not supported by Oracle, I am just going to try and make it work. I am just letting folks know that there are some issues with Windows 7 at least in Financials. We are planning to upgrade (reimplement) to PeopleTools at some point as we’re getting brand new hardware, O/S etc for a new Production environment. But we’re dealing with this issue now. I’ll know more tomorrow as she will give me some time to deal with this and will let you know.
