This post lists about the various OATS versions and its compatible versions of Java and Browsers, with respect browsers the article talks about the different browsers supported and respective versions. Regarding Java, it is mainly for automation of Oracle EBS Forms.
As you all might be knowing, Oracle Apps admins can configure various versions of Java to launch Oracle EBS forms, and it becomes a challenge for test automation engineers to decide or know which OATS version is compatible to automate.

Hi Srinivas,
I read that OATS does not support Chrome browser for recording. How can I record my test cases on an application that is supposed to be tested only on Chrome?
Can we record on some other browser and then run on chrome? Or do we need to do a lot of coding around the web element locators for chrome? Are there any add ons, libraries that need to be included in for this?
Regards,
Amrita
Firstly, The latest version of OATS (12.5) supports recording and playback on chrome browser. I think you should try that.
Support for angular js based application is not so compelling using OATS, i would recommend to go with some opensource frameworks to automate angular js applications, otherwise you may have to do some research if you want to work with OATS, be aware that record and playback may not work, you should work with DOM for these kind of things. You can search in testingtools.co like get all links using oats you and go through the code you will get some understanding on the code.
In case you have queries , please ask through comments.
Thank you Srinivas for your input!
So we can use other locators like id, tagname, link, class etc in OATS or only xpath?
I am not working on OATS currently but we are doing a tool feasibility study for an application where the floe is partly in Oracle (forms) and partly in a web application (Angular). We considered OATS because of the ease of automating forms with it. I read OATS can automate web applications too but since this is a Angular one, we need to do more research.

Well the ultimatum is xpath when it comes to OATS, but you need to understand there are APIs of OATS which can help you identify objects using even other attributes like id,name, for, etc..
hi, i am facing an issue while recording. i set the recording preferences proxy to chain proxy and use browser proxy. the browser used is firefox45.7esr and openscript is 12.5.0.3. the browser proxy settings when opened manually are auto-detect and it works fine. when the openscript opens the browser, the proxy settings seen are some fixed value(don’t know where it came from) and my site does not open due to it. please help!!
Try doing one thing, once you click on record the browser gets opened. Now try to set the proxy settings and save them. Stop recording and start fresh and see if it works by any chance??
Hi Srinivas,
We are trying to replace UFT with an equally capable Tool,
Our application is a Java based dealing with Java applets ,
Selenium couldnt handle the Java applets , I am wondering is there a possibility to use OATS in place of UFT , Please advice
Hi Venkat,
Sorry for the delay in response, well OATS may not do the trick as well.
Thank You,

Hi..
what are the supported browser versions for oracle oats 13
HI Pooja,
Thank you for reaching out to us to find out what are the browser versions Oracle OATS 13 supports.. please find below the details:
Browser (32-bit): Internet Explorer 11.x; Firefox (ESR) 31.x, 38.x, 45.x; Chrome 33 or higher (32-bit and 64-bit).
Hi Srinivas,
I am facing a weird issue during installation. I have IE 11 and OATS 13 installed. In IE add-ons Oracle IE toolbar is showing as incompatible, but IE11.x are supported as per the matrix. I tried launching recorders in admin mode, I got an error saying eclipse waiting too long for recorder and fails to launch the IE toolbar popup.
I tried same in my personal laptop and everything works as expected (With same OATS and IE versions).
Sorry for the delay in response, ideally it should work, but in case you still have an issue, I would recommend to uninstall OATS completely and this time when you try to click on installer, do a right click and select run as administrator, it might dot the charm.
Thank you Sirinivas, do you have this information for OATS 13 but specifically for FlowBuilder?
I could not spend time on this Luis.. will get back once I get a chance
