I would like to know the difference between OEL and RHEL

I would like to know the difference between OEL and RHEL, are they same?
If I test any application on RHEL, will it work on OEL too.
Thanks

The name OEL as such is not used anymore, since the product was renamed from Oracle Enterprise Linux to Oracle Linux with the release of version 5.5 in September 2010.
The main technical difference between Oracle Linux and RHEL is that Oracle Linux ships with an Oracle exclusive and optimized Oracle UEK kernel. It does however still install and provide the original and older RHEL kernel for fallback.
As of Oracle Linux 5.6, the Oracle UEK kernel is the default kernel. The current latest version of Oracle Linux 6.3 uses the Oracle UEK2 kernel, which is based on the Linux 3 kernel (2.6.39).
Oracle Linux is binary compatible with RHEL.
Oracle Linux has several advantages over RHEL, in particular if you plan to use it to install Oracle products.
• The same kernel UEK and UEK2 versions are available for Oracle Linux 5.x and 6.x
You do not necessarily need to perform a complete and unsupported system upgrade to use a newer kernel version and drivers.
• Oracle Pubilc YUM
Oracle provides a public yum repository for installing software packages including the latest patches. RHEL does not and requires a paid subscription for online access.
• Oracle specific drivers and software
Oracle Linux provides additional software and kernel drivers, for Oracle clustering, Dtrace, BtrFS and ASM, which is not available for RHEL 6.
Oracle Linux provides additional packages which trigger the automatic installation of system software prerequisites, including kernel parameters and oracle account setup to install Oracle Database:
oracle-validated (Oracle Linux 5)
oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall (Oracle Linux 6)
And last not least you have just one vendor and support requirement for Oracle products.

  • I am wanting to buy and Ipad.. but I would like to know the difference between having wifi and a simcard..if someone could explain this to me.. and the benefits of both I would appreciate it.

    Good Morning:
    I have been looking at the Ipads for a while now.  I have some concerns though.  First, I am NOT a techy of any kind!!  So my question is;  What is the difference between wifi and a simcard(?)   What I understand about wifi is...if you are in an area with free internet.. you can excess it.  If not, then you can't.  What is a simcard?  Is this what you would use like a turbo stick..such as internet on the go... or is this a data plan for the Ipad, like I have for my phone?  If so, I take it that it would mean a monthly bill of what or however I set it up...  Please be kind with your responces.. I am a older person who wants a new gadget.   
    Thank you

    Hi, Sarah,
    You don't really compare a SIM card directly with WiFi. What a SIM card indicates is that a device is designed to connect to cellphone service, in the case of an iPad a data-only service for connection to the Internet. The SIM card works with a technology called GSM (don't worry about what that means); the SIM card is just how the iPad is identified to the cell carrier (in the US, that would be AT&T).
    Your choices of connecting an iPad to the Internet are therefore:
    WiFi - wireless network connection which uses a device referred to as a "hotspot" or "access point" (and sometimes a "wireless router") with an Internet service provided by some other company. You may have this at home, with your own WiFi router and Internet service, or it may be found by some other location, such as a coffee shop. Cost of WiFi at home would only be the cost of the router and the fee you pay to your Internet provider. Other locations may or many not involve a cost. The advantage of a WiFi connection is speed (compared to a cellular data service) and cost (no monthly fee other than your Internet provider).  The disadvantage is that you have to be in range of a WiFi service; that range is usually on the order of 100 feet or so.
    Cellular - this is a service provide by a cellphone carrier. This allows you to have your iPad connected to the Internet wherever the carrier offers service, which may be in buildings, parks, while driving, etc. just as with a cellphone. You pay a monthly fee to the cell carrier for this service. The advange is of course that it's available in many places. The primary disadvantages are the monthly cost and slower speed in the connection to the Internet.
    You can have both with an iPad if you purchase your iPad with both systems included; iPads are sold WiFi-only or WiFi+3G ("3G" refers to being capable of connecting to a cell network) You are not obligated to sign up with a cell carrier if you buy the iPad with that technology; most carriers allow you to sign up month-by-month, and in some countries the carrier has a pay-as-you-go service. If you tell us what country you're in, someone can tell you more about the available cell plans, if you're interested.
    I hope this helps. Feel free to post back if you need further clarification or have additional questions.
    Regards.

  • Would someone tell me the difference between PS13 and Elements !

    what are the differences between elements 13 and PS 13

    I'm sure there's a link somewhere which lays out the differences explicitly.  But from a top level, Elements is a slimmed down version of Photoshop that is geared towards a quicker and easier user experience.  It has more "one click" options for optimizing color, reducing redeye, etc - the main, basic edits that most people want to do to their photos.   Photoshop, on the other hand, is an advanced photo editor and comes with a learning curve; it's designed to be a full fledged digital editor from the "film" photographer, to the digital artist, compositors, layout, etc.  Even basic edits can be difficult to figure out until you know your way around the program.  It' more powerful, but more difficult to learn.  That said, some people don't want to spend the time learning it, they just want some basic, quick editing tools.
    I can't remember the list off the top of my head, but Elements had a couple restrictions that made it a non-starter for me.  First and foremost, Elements won't let you edit multiple layers in 16 bits.  Something that won't affect many, but for any high level compositing it's a not go.  On top of that, they removed features like the pen tool, paths, curves, channels, smart objects, etc.  These probably don't mean anything to you, but to those of use that use PS these are the basic building blocks of our work.

  • Please let me know the difference between se09 and se10

    anyone please let me know when we will go for transaction se09 & se10 and what is the difference between these two transactions,difference between customizing request and workbench request.

    Hi,
    SE01 is the main screen of the Change and transport Organizer. From here the administrator can acheive all tasks related to transport requests - such as create, change, view logs, display client/delivery transports, etc. SE09 and SE10 can also be accessed from here. However, not all developers might be granted access to this transaction.
    SE09 is the workbench transport requests transaction - here the developers can track changes to all ABAP workbench objects (dictionary, reports, module pools, etc). This is a developer-specific transaction and mostly all developers have access to this transaction.
    SE10 is the customizing request display transaction - this displays all the customizing requests in the system. Again, this could be restricted to Business analysts if required, since they would be doing most of the customizing changes in the system.
    Hope this will help.
    Regards,

  • Needs to know the difference between 4500s and 6500s

    i would like to referesh my company's GO and with 7613 router and has 2 6509E with sup720 core. it has a 4 MDF 6509E with sup720 also. now about IDF's i am confuse what i have to use. 4500s or 6500s. the main thinking is we would like to upgrade our desktop from 100M to 1G. so i have to think about the uplink between IDF and MDF.what is suitable for me in this case.
    thanks.

    This is a very broad question which can't be covered in a single post.
    My first suggestion is getting to know everything about each model.
    Start by going to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/index.html
    and click on each product family.
    Second suggestion is giving your Cisco Sales rep a call, he will come onsite and show you how you can maximize your network environment and what product matches your criteria better.

  • What is the difference between LH and LX modules?

    I would like to know the difference between LX and LH SFP modules. Long Haul ( LH ) denotes longer distances while Long Wavelength ( LX ) denotes less energy which is obviously shorter distance. Why does Cisco use both LX and LH for certain SFP modules?
    Do they denote the capability of the module to work both for MM ( which will be Long wavelength ) and SM ( Long Haul ) fiber? Do correct me if i am wrong.
    What does it infer if a modules says like "Cisco 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP" ?

    What does it infer if a modules says like "Cisco 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP
    Generally a module is either made for single mode (More distance) / multimode (short distance). But this module can be used for both Single mode and Multimode.
    If used with SM fiber it can go upto 10Km
    It used with MM it can go upto 550meters (depend on what kind os MM fiber you have) You need a mode conditioning patch chord too with legacy MM i think OM1 and 2.
    Long Haul ( LH ) denotes longer distances while Long Wavelength ( LX ) denotes less energy which is obviously shorter distance. Why does Cisco use both LX and LH for certain SFP modules
    Read this link and dont worry about LX/LH (You will ge tthe distance mentiond above depending on the type of fibe ryou are using)
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabit_Ethernet
    Before it was standardized 1000BASE-LX10 was essentially already in widespread use by many vendors as a proprietary extension called either 1000BASE-LX/LH or 1000BASE-LH

  • Whatz the difference between jdk and jre

    i would like to know the difference between jdk and jre.

    Yes JRE is Java Run Time Environment. The java programming language adds the portability by converting the source code to byte code version which can be interpreted by the JRE and gets converted to the platform specific executable ones. Thus for different platforms one has corresponding implementation of JRE. But JRE has to meet the specification JVM (Java Virtual Machine) Concept that serves as a link between the Java libraries and the platform specific implementation of JRE. Thus JVM helps in the abstraction of inner implementation from the programmers who make use of libraries for their programmes.
    The JDK(Java Developmental Tool kit) comes along with java libraries and JVM embedded in it. Apart from these it comes along with the utility tools for byte code compilation "javac", Executing the byte codes through java programmes through "java" and many more utilities found in the binary directory of java. Speaking practically JDK is essential for developers, which comes along with library packages to develop Software programmes. While JRE is minimal set of programmes which executes the java class files developed by the software developers.

  • What is the difference between Routing and Call OSB regarding preformance?

    Hi excuse my ignorance, I am new to OSB and would like to know the difference in the performance of a service using the Service Callout or Routting, which would be the fastest to run?
    would like to know this to know what the best to use if I have a situation that you can use either one.
    Thanks!

    service call out .. you call a service in a SYNCHRONOUS way (pipeline blocks and waits for service response).
    we cannot use request-only wsdl operation through service callout.It is single threaded.
    route ... it's the last node of the proxy, it's not in the pipeline, you pass all processing to another (business or proxy) service . Route node can be seen as an action which defines where a Request thread stops and Response thread begins, in addition to what ever it does. It is know that by-design, request and response pipelines of a OSB proxy will be in different threads.
    route node can be (request-response and request only)
    you can have multiple ServiceCallouts but only one route node.
    Service callout under high load can cause stuck thread issues, so it has to be used wisely depending upon your requirement.
    Hope this helps.

  • What is the Difference Between Adapter and Proxy

    Hi Master,
    I want to know the Difference Between Adapters and Proxies.
    And when we are using proxies and Adapters....
    Regards,
    SReddy

    Adapters are part of the Adapter Framework. Adapters provide the technical connectivity to enable the integration of SAP and non-SAP applications through XI’s Integration Engine.Again, Adapters are used for connectivity from and to external systems with XI that cannot communicate via proxies.Adapters are only required in SAP systems older than 6.20 and external systems.
    Systems based on 6.20or higher can communicate directly with proxies.
    The literal definition of a proxy is an object / process authorized to act for another; an agent or a substitute. In simpler terms, proxies in the XI context are objects used to encapsulate the creation (from a sender system) or parsing of XML (at a receiver system) as well as the communication with the relevant runtime components required to send or receive those messages.
    Proxies are generated from Message Interface in IR.
    The Proxy Runtime controls these objects / processes, and can itself be controlled by the applications it communicates with. The Proxy Runtime currently has the following components available: 1. ABAP Proxy Runtime – Communication using XI or Web Services a. Web Service Runtime 2. Java Proxy Runtime – Communication using XI (J2EE) The objects that the Proxy Runtime then controls are created via Proxy Generation, for both ABAP and Java. In the following sections a ‘client’ proxy is used by an application to send messages outside of the system it resides in (normally to the IS in this context). Conversely, a ‘server’ proxy is used by an application to receive messages from sources outside itself (again, normally the IS in this context).

  • What's the differences between rsp4 and rsp4+

    I want to know the differences between rsp4 and rsp4+

    According to the included URL, there is not a big deal of difference between the two devices. Here's a quote:
    The RSP4+ is an enhanced version of the RSP4 with larger default program memory (64 MB), Error Correction Code (ECC) memory protection, and compatibility with Cisco IOS® Software releases that support the current RSP4. This additional functionality is included with no increase in price, further enhancing the value of Cisco 7500 Series routers.
