11g OCM Exam Price

I can't find the price of the 11g OCM upgrade exam on [Oracle Database 11g Certified Master Upgrade Exam|http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=11gOCMU]. The price field is empty, the schedule page is empty and the exam was not found in Pearson Vue (and I even don't find Oracle in Prometric... Has Oracle fired them?).
Do anyone know what's the price? Or anyone knows the price of previous OCM upgrade exam price (if any) for an reference?
Thanks

I wonder whether that is related to the fact that the 11g OCM is not released yet.
IN any case http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=&lang=&p_exam_id=11gOCM shows me that the 2 day exam is priced at US$2000

    Hi Marco ,
    I would like to ask if its possible to schedule a special schedule for the OCM exam? For example, I am in the Philippines and the nearest exam site for me that wont require visa is HK and Singapore. However, based on the Oracle scheudule, the next exam schedule with be on May 2013 of which I am not ready. Do I have to wait for the next schedule ( which is most likely next year ) or can I request to have an schedule that are not listed in the site?
    http://education.oracle.co.uk/html/oracle/28US/SCHED_SP_OCM11_2.htm
    Hope you can help me with my inquiry.
    Thanks,
    Froilan

    Froilan,
    These exams are actually scheduled through Oracle University, as they use training facilities rather than Pearson VUE test centers. It is doubtful that you can get a date added on your own, but you may want to contact Oracle University http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=225 and ask about the possibility of getting a date added. One thing they have to consider is how many people will register. They have a minimum number of participants required in order to run an event. Typically, you can register your interest in an event and when they get enough interest, they'll add one. Since there is already an event scheduled, I'm not sure how that would work, so give them a call and talk to them about it.
    Regards,

    Hi,

    I want to take the certification Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning exam 1Z0-054 and want to write the exam.
    To earn the OCE credentials, I know that we need to take training from Oracle University. I am not an OCP currently.
    Can I write the exam now and later take the course to meet the certification requirements? I know it is not the right way, but I can not pay $3000 for the course as of now. I can write the exam through self study. I want to check if I can take the exam now and later take the course.
    Is it mandatory to take the course before taking the exam?
    Thanks,
    naveen.Indeed you can take the exam now, and subsequently earn the 11g PERFTUNE OCE credential when you either:
    1) complete, submit and get verified the OU authorised 11g perftune course (possible but seems a little cart before horse).
    or
    2) Become 11g DBA OCP.

  • 11g OCM upgrade exam schedule in USA

    I have a 10g OCM and I am preparing to upgrade it to 11g OCM, 1 day practical exam.
    I don't see the schedule in USA for this exam. Could someone give some pointers here.
    Thank,
    Vikas

    On the information page OE provides for OCM testing, it has the following statement: Contact your local Oracle University representative if you are unable to find an OCM event in your area. and is linked to the following URL:
    http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=225
    I'd suggest contacting OE. I likely only takes a handful of interested parties for them to schedule an OCM exam event.

  • 了解11g OCM

    2007年发售的Oracle Database 11g号称Oracle 20年来最具影响力的产品, 在11gR1中大约引入了400个新功能和特性, 而在11gR2中这数字不会小于200个,且在已发布的2个Patch Set 11.2.0.2 和11.2.0.3中仍在引入新特性。
    11gR1已经发布了6个年头(2007-2012), 而11gR2 服役已经第四个年头了(2009-2012),随着版本10gR2的support lifetime从Premier Support转变成Sustaining Support(Oracle Database 10.2 has now transitioned from Premier Support to Sustaining Support)。
    越来越多的企业会在部署新系统时优先考虑采用11gR2,以减少software support的支出。 在OTN Forums的版本使用率调查中11.2.0.x已经占有了30.6%份额, 在未来几年中这个数字将超过其他几个版本使用率的总和。
    版本11gR2在国内发力的黄金发展期即将到来, 但是国内DBA对版本11g的所知甚少, 实际上从10g 到 11g的改变并不局限于新特性, 很多同学在实施upgrade to 11g后发现了之前从未有过的不少问题, 这些问题主要集中在 管理、SQL执行计划和新进程的作用上,但不局限于此。
    实际上Maclean 建议系统地去学习一下11g的新特性, OU(OU指Oracle University,即Oracle大学,原厂培训机构)提供的课程包括:
    Oracle Database 11g: High Availability
    Oracle Database 11g: Change Management
    Oracle Database 11g: New Features
    Oracle Database 11g: Performance
    Oracle Database 11g: Scheduler
    Oracle Database 11g: Server Manageability
    都是值得考虑的课程。
    当谈及11g ocm的时候, 大家可能都有一些茫然, OCM 还分版本吗?
    是的, 最早的OCM在9i时代就有了, 不过在大陆9i的OCM非常少,在2000年左右大陆还没有OCM的考点,考OCM需要去韩国; 这个阶段的OCM当时主要是 Oracle在国内的一些重量级客户,例如移动、联通等, 不过这些第一批获得OCM的精英们后来绝大多数都从移动、联通跳槽到一些金融、银行单位了。 所以过往有一次去移动的一个部门,移动的领导向我们介绍当年这里可是出了好几个OCM, 但好景不长OCM精英纷纷跳槽, 以至于现在他要鼓励手下的员工去考OCP了。
    OCM 在大陆大举登陆是在10g的时代,也即2005年以后的一段时间。这个时间点大陆在北京、上海、深圳等大城市的OU都有了OCM的考试点, 同时大量乙方、第三方的技术人员或为了自身发展或为了公司资质都投身到了OCM认证考试中来,由于考试人数众多,这导致几乎不变的10g OCM考题或被以帖子或被以博客的形式共享出来。 客观地说10g OCM 的考题在保密的前提下还是能够反映一位Oracle技术人员的知识广度和操作熟练度的, 应变能力也能够大致体现; 但是受限于考试的形式, 仍不无法测量应试者的知识深度和理论是否扎实;虽然如此,但是若能够以正大光明的形式通过10g OCM考试,那么仍能说明一个人有一定的技术功底。
    说起10g的OCM考试,这里面有一个搞笑的小插曲。在2011年初参加OCM考试的同学可能遇到过尴尬的问题, 安装完成Grid Control/OMS软件后却因为网页证书在2011年过期的问题(之前的考试不会遇到该问题),无法登陆OMS管理界面,这导致后续的考试环节都无法使用Grid Control完成。 如果这时节是你在考试,打开了GC的界面却发现无法登陆,即便心理素质再好恐怕也难免傻眼。具体由于这个意外造成考试结果如何计算不得而知, 只知道后来的OCM 考试提供一个专门解决该GC问题的patch,考生可能需要apply 这个patch,这算不算是变相地对10g OCM考试的扩展呢?
    有人说10g OCM考试已经在国内泛滥了,这主要是因为部分帖子和博客披露了大量10g OCM的信息, 同时有不少Oracle WDP或非WDP的培训机构看中了10g OCM考试培训的这块肥肉;现在登录一个Oracle相关主题的门户网站或论坛或多或少都会看到这些机构在打10g OCM考试的广告。 如果说纯粹的应试的话,那么参加这些培训机构的10g OCM考试培训还是很有效的,显然他们把考题直接作为平时培训的练习了; 但如果你真的通过这些机构获得了10g OCM的认证,那么你发生会发现10g OCM不过如此, 和你水平差不多或者远不如你的人在这些机构学上几个月也都能获得10g OCM, 而10g OCM作为一个认证的最高点, 你在获得了它之后还有什么可以去学习、去提高的呢? 你在获得了OCM是否真的达到了这样的一个至高点?你是否还会有动力去学习其实你还不熟悉的包括在OCP范畴内的技术知识呢? 你在Oracle之路今后要怎么走呢? 别人是否信服你获得的这个日益有更多人获得的OCM呢?
    所以Maclean的态度是,谢绝除OU外的一切培训机构! Maclean 在考10g OCM的时候为了省钱仅参加了原厂2门最便宜的高级课程,加上10g OCM exam考试的费用, 总支出不超过2w¥。 对于Maclean来说 考ocm只是一个强迫自己去系统复习知识的机会, 获得10g OCM认证几乎没有给Maclean带来任何就业上的好处。
    实际在这几年中10g OCM认证给求职者往往带来负面的影响, 有不少同学在面试中因为从业年数不多且已经获得OCM, 受到面试官的不经意的”调戏”, 已经有不下于2个10g OCM小兄弟由于这个认证带来的”调戏”现象对Maclean诉苦。 我只能告诉他们,世界上伟大的美德是”等待和希望”!
    扯了许多无关的话题, 实际我的这篇文章是要介绍11g OCM的。 在9i OCM已退役, 10g OCM几乎已经在国内烂大街的今天, 11g OCM仍是一片乐土和净土。
    说11g OCM是一片净土的原因是,11g OCM没有任何被过分共享的资源,我写的《11g OCM Upgrade Exam Tips》 一文提供了一些11g OCM考试的准备技巧; 同时具我所知,到目前为止全世界没有那一家培训机构能够做11g OCM认证的考试培训(可能需要排除OU), 这保证了考试的公正性, 还了OCM认证一片净土。
    11g OCM的花名册可以在OTN 11g OCM profile中找到,记录在册的大约有76人,绝大多数是Oracle原厂的员工或者OU的讲师,印度和欧美的Oracle技术人员占了绝大部分。
    关于11g ocm的难度,可以参考上海OU资深讲师包光磊同学的博客,还是比较刺激的(http://toddbao.itpub.net/post/41112/500149):
    11g OCM认证的获得路径目前有3条,即:
    路径1,适合没有获得过9i/10g ocm的新晋同学: 11g ocp的获得者=> 参加2门原厂的11g高级课程 => 通过Oracle Database 11g Certified Master Exam2天的考试 => submit course form=> Submit Fulfillment Kit Request => 最后获得11g ocm 的证书和纪念服。
    路径2,适合10g ocm: 已获得10g ocm认证=> 通过Oracle Database 11g Certified Master Upgrade Exam 1天的升级考试=> Submit Fulfillment Kit Request => 最后获得11g ocm 的证书和纪念服。
    路径3,适合9i OCM: 已获得9i OCM => 通过1Z0-048 Oracle Database 10g R2: Administering RAC 或者 1Z0-058 Oracle Real Application Clusters 11g Release 2 and Grid Infrastructure Administration 考试 ,这2门考试在考试机构就可以考,不需要去OU => 参加 Oracle Database 11g Certified Master Upgrade Exam(1天的升级考试) 或者Oracle Database 11g Certified Master Exam(2天的原生态11g OCM考试),一般都会选择1天的升级考试 => Submit Fulfillment Kit Request => 最后获得11g ocm 的证书和纪念服。
    关于获得11g ocm认证路径的更多信息 ,可以参考: Oracle Database 11g Certified Master track page 和 oracle 官方的认证博客 certification blog 。

    I would personally like to see OCM / Knowledge Transfer part of not only the business case, but of the RFP and of the implementation contract to vendors.
    In my opinion this should be an outcome based measure with some real penalty to the vendor who fails to deliver in this area.  The following excerpt is from a recent article I wrote on the topic of knowledge transfer:
    To avoid [vendor failure of knowledge transfer], your vendor contract might include a provision where you commit to the number of resources and time (client staffing levels) and the vendor is required to reach a point of operational independence within 2 (or 3, or whatever number) months of go-live.  Define operational independence as the client resourceu2019s ability to troubleshoot and resolve transaction problems within the scope of the transactions that are implemented.  Also, the terms of your agreement might spell out that as of u201Cxu201D date, the vendor agrees to support all client resources at u201Cyu201D discounted rate (say 50% of the project rate) until operational independence is achieved.
    This is from "A Cautionary Tale about Knowledge Transfer" posted on my site at, http://www.r3now.com/modules.php?name=news&file=article&sid=15

    ThanksFirstly there are 2 OCM exams currently (excluding upgrade exam) .....
    ie 10g DBA OCM
    and 11g DBA OCM
    The courses you present must be relevant to the exact version you wish to to take.
    Please bear in mind any hands on course submitted and accepted as submitted for obtaining DBA OCP cannot also be used for DBA OCM.
    I am a little worried that an OCM candidate cannot find the information, though perhaps [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=159#3] does not make it clear. [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=244#5] does make it clear, however this may be too difficult for OCM candidates to find without better links.

  • When will the 11g OCM be published?

    Dear Friends
    When will the 11g OCM be published?
    Do we have a beta phase like the other exams?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Hub

    10g OCM will still be available after 11g OCM is released.
    There will not be a 9i to 10g OCM upgrade. We are currently getting the webpages updated for this. 9i OCM was offered in only 5 locations worldwide. When Oracle developed 10g OCM, the goal was to transition to a new model that would allow any OU location to offer OCM. Developing and implementing the architecture to support this has been an immensely complicated project, and it precluded us from developing an Upgrade exam for 9i OCMs. With 11g OCM, our first launch will be the 1-day upgrade exam for 9i and 10g OCMs.
    9i OCMs will need to meet THREE requirements to upgrade to 11g OCM:
    - Upgrade their OCP credential to 11g OCP,
    - Pass the 1-day 11g OCM Upgrade Exam
    - Earn the Oracle Database 10g or Oracle Database 11g RAC Administrator Certified Expert Credential
    10g OCMs will need to meet TWO requirements:
    - Upgrade their OCP credential to 11g OCP
    - Pass the 1-day 11g OCM Upgrade Exam.
    This information will be released on the website soon along with preliminary exam objectives.

  • OCM exam environment software not available for download

    Hi all,
    As per the oracle 11g master certification mentioned in the certification portal, the exam will be conducted in the following environment
    3. 10.2.0.5 grid control with 11.1.0.6 as repository database.
    However 10.2.0.5/11.1.0.x grid control verison is not available for download. Kindly guide me how i can prepare my test environment for exam preparation.

    I have finally received some additional information on this topic. Here is a message from our exam developers:
    To prepare for the OCM exam, candidates should focus on mastering the tasks for each Skillset. Software can be downloaded from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) to build a practice environment. Use the latest software available from OTN; it is not necessary to build a practice environment on the exact OS and database software versions used in the OCM exam. Later releases of Oracle server support nearly all features and functions of earlier ones; for any software version, relevant parameter values, naming differences and obsolete features may be found in the product documentation, which is available from OTN.

  • OCM exam issue

    Moderators,
    I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask my query but i have searched extensively on oracle website but didn't get any information on that.My query is
    I was in talks with oracle executive for the past one month and finally booked my OCM 10g exam in India for 25th and 26th of October 2010.I didn't get any confirmation from oracle regarding the booking of exam till today 22nd of October 2010.I was given a confirmed date of exam by executive. The exam is in some other city and i have to take a flight to reach there.The oracle executive who took the payment from me is not picking up the phone nor replying my phone calls for the past 1 week.I called another executive at the local oracle office. He confirmed that such exam is not being conducted on 25th and 26th.The oracle executive knows my cell phone number and is not picking up my calls. When i called from some other number, she picked up the call and started giving me excuses. At the last hour, i have to cancel my flight. I can't say how much mental tension and harassment i have received apart from financial loss. I am shocked that these kind of people do exist in sales department of a renowned company.The sales executive didn't bother to book the exam even after taking exam fee but confirmed me the dates.I was not even given the 2nd point of escalation to discuss this issue.I have all the mail communication with the oracle executive and want to escalate this issue. Could anyone please let me know the department within oracle that looks into this kind of issues?
    Thanks

    Edited by: user11970591 on Oct 22, 2010 4:38 AM- Please be aware i suspect there is high risk you may have been the victim of fraud of some bad people pretending to be from Oracle.
    - As in most countries, but perhaps particularly in India and some other countries, there exist a small number of dishonourable individuals who will happily part people from their money and not give the required service in return.
    I would not advise putting full details on the forum , but if you get no satisfaction from the previous email address for oracle education india (give them chance to respond .. and remember it is the weekend ) ... then write full dates and phone numbers in an email to the ocpfraud_ww@oracle cc'd to [email protected] just in case there is an extreme case of incompetence or fraud going on.
    - However some aspects of your post do worry me ..... for example if i was booking an Oracle OCM exam .... (which i cant 'cos i've not attended pre-req courses and i'd fail the thing anyway) .... i somehow wouldn't expect to be talking to an Oracle executive about it. I would also wonder why you've just needed to register with OTN yesterday ... there can be good reasons for this ..... but for an OCM candidate it is high probability indicator that something is wrong.

    Edited by: 842638 on 23-Jul-2012 02:35My impression is Oracle University has appropriate channels in place (or should have) for tutors to get answers without resorting to public forums.
    Or a least a support request to Oracle Certification would have been more prudent.
    I'm a little concerned you soulkd be teaching an advanced OCM ....{thread:id=2380754} 'Please help me' is not IMHO appropriate two months before if I was to shell out lots of very good money to sit in one of your classes!
    ( You may think I am being a lot hard, but if a dba begs 'Please help me', then he possibly doesn't have the right attitude to be a DBA, let alone OCM, where the aptitude should be much more hunt the documentation, experiment, and distill appropraite answers for oneself).
    I may be a being a litle hard, but we are talking Oracle Certified Master here.
    Anybody reading this post might look at your previous recent questions, and wonder if that is appropriate for someone who will be teching them for OCM preparation.
    I have seen some 3rd party WDP suppliers describe every possible exam on the path to OCM as an 'OCM' exam. And I absolute worst case I could see any WDP tutor delivering Oracle Univeristy basic SQL/OCA exams as OCM exams; and I can understand them asking the question you asked. But in the UK there is no way I coud imagine a OU UK tutor asking the question you asked.
    However I understand Maylasia is culturally different to the UK and I may have misread your question completely.

  • OCM exam on South America

    Hi all,
    I've been looking for OCM exams in my country or at least in other country of South America for a while and it's neve been offered. Almost one Year ago, I called to Oracle Education of my country and they told me that the OCM exam is only taken at USA for "Americas". What I don't understand is that in Europe or in Asia there are too many countries that offer the exam but here in Latin America, only at USA or Canada.
    The funny thing is that I know 7 others DBAs that want to take this exam, but the cost of hotel, plane tickets, etc is increasing a lot the costs and they, like me, are waiting for this exam in our country or at least in a cheaper country near here. I do believe that is the same situation of too many others DBAs in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and other countries of South America.
    I know that is necessary a proctor to offer this exam and probably there are other factors that difficults the offer of this exam. But for the other side, The OCM exam has been offered for a while and I guess that Oracle Education had the necessary time to fill those gaps
    Is it possible to request the exam in a country of Latin America?
    If Yes, How do I do this? If not, I'd like to say here that is not fair with Oracle DBAs from South America.
    Thanks All,
    Cerreia

    I don't think it's the main reason. It's because almost all DBAs that I know from the Market have the OCP certification. In fact, almost all positions here is Brazil, for SR Oracle DBA are requesting experience and the OCP certification as well. ( I disagree with this, but is what I'm seeing )Sure, I probably didn't express myself properly. I concur that having the OCP, as a senior DBA, should be a prerequisite from the company's point of view and likely a no-brainer from an experienced DBA's perspective. On the other hand I believe that a recruiter would be hard-pressed finding one of those available in the wild.
    But I digress.
    The point is that standing out from the crowd becomes a much tougher feat to accomplish when the OCP is a standard and the next step is out of reach.
    With that said I wonder what it will take for Oracle to make that move.
    Have you tried to contact them at [email protected]? Could be one way of approaching the issue and getting some feedback.
    It's not that Chicago isn't a nice place to visit and all, it's just that there won't be much time and cash left to appreciate it. ;)

  • Oracle exam price is up 56% to USD195

    Hi everyone,
    I registered my 1Z0-050 exam with Pearson VUE today and was suprised by the new exam fee went up to $195 from $125. Last month when I started to prepare this exam, the Oracle website just showed $125 for the exam price. I am wondering what's the reason that causes Oracle to raise the exam fee.
    Just feel a little bit frustration, that not fair...

My colourful language hits blocked words the whole time ... and its anooying to look through a long post trying to guess the blocked word (eg shoe-s). In terms of freedom of information we (well at least i) am satsified ... in terms of exam price of course that is a different story unless you are a DBA in Oregon [http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9164678/Oracle_increases_certification_testing_fees]
