My Oracle Support Community Forum

Survey:
Is anyone participating in the new "*My Oracle Support Community*" Forums? I'm a bit confused as to the purpose of the forum since they cover virtually the same topics that are discussed here. I did do some research and found the following answers....
* The OTN (Oracle Technology Network) forums are not being replaced by the My Oracle Support Communities.
* Oracle Support does not participate in the OTN forums.
* Since the OTN forums are outside of My Oracle Support and used by participants who may or may not have Oracle Support, existing knowledgebase  articles and bug records may not be leveraged to answer your inquiries.
* The OTN forum will continue and remain open to the public.
* Oracle built the My Oracle Support (MOS) communities to specifically help customers and partners that have support contracts*
* OTN is not part of customer support, though some of us support engineers have voluntarily contributed to it in the past.
Personally, I see the same type of topics/questions being discussed in both forums! ?:|

I believe the difference is that the Community Forum is moderated and you need a valid CSI number to access it. Overall this forum seems more active, but it looks as though Oracle Support Engineers may be more active in the Community one.

    to use MyOracleSupport Communities you need to be part of an organization that gives you access to the the Support with a CSI - That is correct!Got it.
    On the other side, working on this other Community will give you the opportunity to integrate the threads with all the contents available from Oracle Support.Even its good point, where we can look up into different communities.
    By the way, I would like to clarify that the Community I'm advertising here is NOT replacing this OTN forum.
    As you said, I just wanted to take the chance to advertise it in the interest of every customer who can access it.
    Hope this helps.Thank you, But you know? still i like to give some good priority to OTN, why because. People who are learning and trying to explore their knowledge and who do not have CSI, where they can contact? they are really helpless. & Support community people all have CSI activiated they can raise SR any time.
    Of course you are not asking to leave OTN, its just one of my point why i prefer OTN. but for sure will see threads from Community as well.

  • Is Oracle supporting these forums?

    Hi,
    Is a moderator from Oracle monitoring this group?
    Is someone from Oracle monitoring the 'Documentation' forum?
    Is 'VP forums @ Oracle' accepting suggestions for improvements to this service?
    Cheers,
    Colin

    Yes, C... I can get a bit cynical at times. Combining that with distinguished phrasing is the goal. ;-)
    And then I get the feeling that Oracle is using us.So is (almost) everybody else. I've seen worse ... ;-)
    The #1 feature I'd like is a wiki, but maybe I should
    just set that up myself.That's always an option.
    Want to help?If I can, why not. Personally, I'm waiting for a Wiki written in APEX.

  • Links in Support Community Forum Posts not clikcable in Safari

    This was so annoying I nearl threw my macbook pro out the window! Trying to respond to a reply to a query on the commuity forum, and yet none of the links within the post would register my clicks. I restarted safari, and rebooted my  macbook pro and still the same. I am now using firefox which works fine - how can crap like this be happening on an apple product, its as if I bought a 5 pound laptop form the market. Totally shocking. Totally crap.
    Safari Version 7.0.5 (9537.77.4)

    You have JavaScript enabled in the Security tab in Safari > Preferences ? If that is disabled then the 'reply' link doesn't work on my Mac's Safari (version 7.0.6), if it's enabled then it does.

    Hi,
    Good question. No, we will not move the content of the OTN forum to the Support Community Forum is the short answer.
    Just to be clear, the OTN forum for WCI will remain in place and is not being replaced by the Support Community Forum. The Support Community Forum is a supplemental forum which you are welcome to use as you desire.
    The main difference between the two forums is that the Support Community Forum is discretely monitored by the Technical Support team for WCI. We are the owners and the monitors of the Support Community Forum and we have set up monitoring tasks to ensure that posted questions are acknowledged and responded to by support as soon as possible. Conversely, while we occasionally participate in discussions on the OTN forum, that participation is much more informal.

  • My Oracle Support - Oracle TEXT - Community

    Hi all,
    It is my pleasure to announce the launch of the Oracle Text community on My Oracle Support.
    Communities are "Oracle's multi-channel platform for online collaborative support", accessible by all Oracle customers, partners and employees. They replace earlier classic MetaLink forums with a much richer true collaborative environment that has options like discussion forums, document upload, tagging, search, email, user reputation scores, best practice exchange, and more features to come. The communities are driven by the members, collaborating with a large network of other members to exchange ideas & knowledge, expand networks, learn from the rest of the community, etc etc.
    The general community pages can be reached via the "community" tab in My Oracle Support (formerly MetaLink), or the Oracle Text community can be accessed direct via:
    https://communities.oracle.com/portal/server.pt/community/database_security_products/287 (MOS logon required)
    The community is moderated by members of the global Text support team, and we invite anybody with an interest in Oracle Text to participate in this community by asking & answering questions, provide best practice documents, etc. etc.
    We hope, that as a participant, you will become intimately involved with helping other users as well as receiving help for issues that you post.
    So sign up, and enjoy!
    Regards,
    Edwin

    Hi ,
    you are welcome, login to [My Oracle Support|http://support.oracle.com] - click Community tab - select "Oracle Text" from "My Communities" list and happy posting.
    Or use [ Oracle Text| https://communities.oracle.com/portal/server.pt/community/oracle_text/287]
    which takes you straight to the community application.
    If you are new to the Oracle Support Communities, check out the 25-minute New Member Orientation that gives you a brief tour of your Communities! You can access it from the Home tab, under the Getting Started section(top right).
    Thanks,
    Edwin

  • Forum for discussions around "My Oracle Support"

    Since there isn't a forum specifically for "My Oracle Support" what do people think about having one created.
    There are forums both here and in the MOS communities for just about every other product that Oracle has what about one for MOS on http://forums.oracle.com?
    Any value in it?

    If having it out in the open didn't get complaints noticed, why would they care?I don't think anyone (except possibly Oracle's support group) is arguing against getting this stuff into the open.
    The question (at least in my little mind) is "Why do people think that Oracle should provide the forum to air Oracle's laundry?"Possibly because it would encourage them to provide a better service to paying support customers and listen to what they need and that that would ultimately be beneficial to Oracle?
    When Oracle do not provide a public forum for Oracle users to discuss their experiences and lock threads when people do discuss their experiences tends to suggest that, yes they notice the discussions on this site and that they do not want those experiences to become public, because in general they are not positive experiences.What makes you think Oracle Support will listen here? They feel they have an appropriate forum.
    >
    I think in the long run Oracle's stance on the support upgrade and their efforts to keep it quiet will only hurt Oracle.I agree.
    But then again, perhaps they believe they provided us with appropriate opportunity to provide feedback.
    Indeed, they have held several public forums asking for feedback (in particular for input on how to design the new Certify system), some of which I advertised for them, AND NO ONE CAME. There were dozens of excuses provided when I contacted individuals to encourage participation.
    If they provide facilities and resources and we ignore them, why should they (MOS) make any effort to come to a location that they have told us they do not officially monitor.
    Indeed, we have been told several times that MOS/MOS-C and Forums are separate. And the moderator here is trying very hard to keep them separate as well.
    >
    What is worrying is we have seen a similar attitude during the various forums upgrades where useful features are continually removed and features no one wants are added and scalability goes down. It begins to look like an institutionalized attitude of not listening.Bi-directional. There is truly a mutual attitude of not listening.
    For example - you claim 'no one wants those features'. Yet, those features were, and are, wanted by some - specifically by the Applications community that is not at all well represented in OTN Forums.
    (How they are implemented, and whether Flash is a usable technology for this ... is another discussion entirely. Let's just say I am on record as an early advocate of http://supporthtml.oracle.com)

  • Selling on Oracle support services

    Hi Everyone
    My name is Ajit. I'm new to this forum. Infact I'm new on the Oracle Technology. I've just joined a company which provides support services on Oracle technology. We focus on RDBMS right now and we are also an Oracle Partner.
    I'd like to know how do I develop myself in the field of Business Development for Oracle support services. I'd like to know which magazines, newsletters, websites, forums etc. I need to visit to serve my existing clients better and to generate new clients.
    Would really appreciate if you could help me on this one.
    Feels great to join the Oracle community.
    Ajit.

    Hi Kai.
    Thanks for clarifying the requirement and passing this on. I believe that you cannot currently add new warning messages to Fusion HCM SaaS.
    Adding a new validation and resulting pop-up message would require either (a) ADF adjustments in JDev and an app redeploy or (b) Application Composer to add an object trigger/groovy script. Obviously there is no backend development for Fusion SaaS and App Composer is available for CRM products currently. I couldn't find anyway the standard Page Composer could have the capability to add new validation logic to the UI.
    As you already mentioned in the other thread, if a validation and FND message already exists at that point, the text can be customized via the Manage Messages page in the FSM task.
    Kind regards,
    Richard

  • Oracle Support Contract

    I wonder how other users feel about transition of support from Primavera to Oracle.
    Here is some thought I have on it, I hope some of you can help me understand why it is as it is.
    Contract*
    We have huge problem with signing/renewing Support Contract. We've asked Oracle for quotation end of October and still did not receive any price offer. I've email to at least 7 Oracle employees, tried to escalate it but still - there is no offer in my inbox.
    Perhaps our licenses setup is a bit strange for Oracle, but for Primavera it was fine - I have CM licenses in several offices divided into groups, in some offices I don’t need to update to CM13 (which is far too buggy to install it in offices which do not have in-house support). Also for other reasons I simply do not want to keep maintenance contract for all licenses.
    Oracle uses License Sets that MUST contain all licenses of the same product and they want me to buy maintenance for all licenses, no matter if I use support for them or not.
    Looks like they want to protect themselves from companies who will buy maintenance for one license and use it for 100 licenses? Well then why with CM13 they skipped concurrent users limit hardcoded in the application?
    Well I don’t want to trash licenses of xx K $ worth! Since Primavera had it set up like that, why Oracle seats in and changes the rules without my knowledge and permit?
    My Oracle Support*
    I have feeling that there is less support now. SR's don’t get updated as often, information about updates of SR is giving wrong info. Email notification is not working in my case. SR history for some reason contains spam notifications of updating SR...
    I miss the chat feature form POINT - initiate chat and get response the same hour...
    After updating a SR there is some kind of confirmation msg that gets stuck under the window, very often I cannot update or read SRs due to numerous "network/IO/communication" errors.
    I'm sorry but besides having a BUG list (finally!) i find My Oracle Support a well-dressed downgrade from POINT.
    In general this post turned out pretty negative, which was not the intention. Hope some of you will post positive comments on Oracle Support.

    Hi people,
    Well it looks like we all have problems. Although I can log into My Support, I cannot create new SRs. After 3 weeks of trying to get Oracle to do something about this they tell me it because thay don't have me registered on a valid Support Identifier, despite oracle giving me the number. My suspition is that somehow they have not updated the support contracts.
    Anyhow, the result is that I con't get decent resolutions to my problems implementing CM version 13. As I'm downunder in New Zealand and am one of only 2 companies running CM we have little or no support here. I currently get most of my supprt through this forum.
    I have started to look for alternative solutions as I am sick and tired of the lack of support.
    Regards
    Rudi

  • New Look of Oracle JDBC & UCP Forum

    Hi All,
    We have enhanced existing Oracle JDBC & UCP forum with a new look.
    You will now find all Oracle JDBC resources such as latest white papers, FAQ, Blogs, Tweets etc., in this forum.
    Please post your JDBC & UCP questions specific to Oracle Database here at Oracle JDBC & UCP.
    Note that this forum is only for Java related JDBC questions.
    Thanks,

    Re-joining would be MY preference. I first posted a 'why two forum' question in the community feedback forum last year when I first discovered that 'other' forum:

    That second forum only has three recent threads and, so far as I know, just became visible when some recent changes were made to the Jive software.
    It is located at
      All Places > Database > Database Developer Tools > JDBC
    Can someone research and determine if that second forum should just be consolidated with the main JDBC forum? I contribute ALL of the time to the other forum as does one of the JDBC developers. I never knew this other one existed so I doubt if people will get much help there.
    If you read the thread you will see that I never got a reply from anyone.
    But the comments above that I made then still apply. Joe Weinstein (one of Oracle's JDBC experts) and I have been the top contributors on this current forum for some time. I don't believe either of us posted in that 'other' forum and I didn't even know it existed. The link in my thread above to the original 'other' forum still works but gives an 'unauthorized' message so I assume it is now an internal Oracle site.
    My opinion is that people with a JDBC question and just going to post in the first one they find which is usually this forum I am in now. I don't think the general public will understand the 'fine' distinction you provided above for Oracle related versus non-Oracle related JDBC questions.
    So the main issue for me is that there is no good way to respond to someone that posts their question in the WRONG jdbc forum. For other forums we just do NOT reply to the question but ask them to post in the correct forum and provide a link to it: I run across this most frequently in the Sql Developer forum and usually respond with:
    Wrong forum!
    This forum is ONLY for Sql Developer quesstions and your question is NOT related to Sql Developer. Please mark this thread ANSWERED and repost it in the Sql Developer forum
    SQL Developer
    The result is that by providing the link to the correct forum the Jive software creates a SECOND thread in that other forum.
    The bulk of the JDBC questions posted in this current forum are, in fact, for the Oracle database. The few that aren't are easily answered by providing what help we can, suggesting additional info that needs to be provided and then suggesting that they post in an IBM, Sql Server or other vendor forum for the JDBC product for their database.
    Havng just ONE forum for JDBC would make it easier to provide a higher level of support to users in my opinion.

  • My Oracle Support unbearable 1hour timeout : Sign up to ask Oracle removing

    Dear All,
    1) You might have noticed that a new one hour session timeout has recently appeared on My Oracle Support site.
    This is unbearable as we need to click "Continue" all along the day especially when you have several sessions opened (Dashboard, OnDemand, knowledgebase, etc...).
    If as me you would like to put pressure on Oracle to get rid of this new (non-)enhancement, please put your comments and sign up this post.
    2) I would also like to know from other Oracle customers about the eight hours session timeout that automatically forces you to re-login.
    I would also like push Oracle to increase timeout to ten or twelve hours as a working day lasts more than eight hours if you include lunch time.
    Oracle Manager responsible for this My Oracle Support settings only suggest to logout and re-login during lunch time....
    Please put also your comments about this very annoying session timeout setup.
    Best Regards,

    You are asking a MOS question, not an OTN question.
    You posted it to the DATABASE GENERAL QUESTIONS forum space but it has nothing to do with Oracle's database software.
