Oracle Linux support Cycle

2779711Apr 10 2015 — edited Apr 10 2015

How does the Oracle linux support cycle looks like?

I can only find "support levels". But what about "end of support" for Oracle Linux versions.

I guess for major versions it is 10 years? But what about minor versions?

Does minor versions, such as 6.0, 6.1, 6.x go "end of life" (like they does on RHEL), if so when?

Example: RHEL 6.5 will go "end of life" by end of this year, i.e. customers have to upgrade to a "newer" minor version in order to recieve support: but when does Oracle Linux 6.5 go "end of life"?

It would be helpful to know how support works on minor versions of Oracle Linux.

Since we are supporting both RHEL and Oracle Linux, and potential things could differ even on minor version of an OS.

It is a matter of which "minor versions" we should test our product on.

Also it feels unneccessary to support a product on a plattform that are already "end of life".

May I know what kind of sessions are timed out?

I mean the web pages, e.g.:
h t t p : / / ouroggserver : 9100
h t t p : / / ouroggserver : 9101
(community.oracle.com tells me "You have to be around for a little while longer before you can post links" so I put spaces in the URLs)

ORASCN

That is expected. If you are not using the session for a longer time or the session is not active for a longer time, then surely it will get timed out. This is for the security reasons.

Anybody has an idea? I suspect not many people use MA so they don't use the web interface? This timeout setting doesn't seem to be documented anywhere.

I have the same problem. Security people think that administrators use one screen at the time and don't leave it until they are done. In reality, we use different screens, get interrupted, go back again and find the screen or GUI locked. This happens several times a day and is not so helpful (although very secure :-) )

I kind of explored it, but couldn't find any options to set the timeout. It's default I believe as I already mentioned.

Thank you! In case you all have an idea about another annoying feature: Is there a way to prevent the login screen username and password pane from moving from the right of the screen to the left?

I have read the full message before it was edited
May be an SR can be opened and suggest the changes.
