1Z0-043 Oracle DB 10g: Admin II Self Study CD has many errors

Many slides have errors in 1Z0-043 Oracle DB 10g: Admin II Self Study CD. I keep trying to report these to Oracle Education and I am getting the runaround. Does anybody know if in these cases you should answer it wrong like the Self Study CD tells you it should be, or when they grade the test do they really know the correct answer. The most blatant case of this is a slide in the Post Assessment of "ASM and Materialized Views", "Materialized Views", "Distributed Data Technologies". The slide in the Post Assessment has the description "Match the different distributed data technologies with their descriptions". Out of 4 pairs to match, all 4 are wrong compared to what it says in the course material just before it! Please HELP! This is just one example of many errors on this CD. Do you have to answer these questions wrong when you take the test?

Hi,
Please note that the Certification Team does not create the self-study CDs. I am sorry you are having difficulty with these CDs. I can assure you that you should NOT intentionally answer questions incorrectly on the test. The certification tests are not taken directly from training materials.

    Oracle prescribes their own training! However one assumes they have some endorsement of Oracle Press Book (ISBN-13: 978-0072257908). (Oracle Database 10g OCP Certification All-In-One Exam Guide (Osborne Oracle Press Series) (Paperback)). Remember the topics have changed slightly since this was printed. There is a Sybex book as well, searching this forum will find it (if you cant find it question yourself if you should be studying for exam), or a reputablable online seller eg amazon.

  • 1Z0-045: Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle 8i OCPs

    Hi,
    I was looking for right reference book for the 1z0-045 upgrade certification. I could not find any reference book that is related to this certification. Only one book have found out on Amazon site, which is "OCP Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Administrators Exam Guide (Oracle Press) (Paperback)" published by McGraw Hill.
    But this book does not show exem number 1z0-045 anywhere. So I am not sure, is it a right book to buy.
    Please let me know if any one has any knowledge about that.
    I appreciate for your information.
    Thanks
    Amit

    The book you mention is for those individuals who are upgrading their 9i OCP to the 10g OCP. Since you are apparently upgrading from 8i OCP, there is possibly a gap in your learning. You might want to take a look at OCP Oracle9i Database: New Features for Administrators Exam Guide (Paperback) which explains the new features for Oracle 9i to someone coming from an 8i background. No additional exam would be needed in your case but this book may help to fill out your knowledge a bit. You could also take a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96531/toc.htm if you would rather not buy an additional book.

  • OCP 10g:  is the self-study-CD an alternative of in-class or online course?

    May I simply order the self-study-CD hier:
    http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/show_desc.redirect?dc=D21206
    study all from id, successfully undergo 1z0-043 exam, send to Oracle the hands-on form
    and become OCP?
    I mean, without must pay for an expensive in-class or online course?
    P.S. now I am only OCA-DBA 10g. (=my 1z0-042 was OK)

    Self Study CD-Rom and Knowledge Center courses are excellent study and reference tools but DO NOT meet the Hands-on Requirement for certification, with the exception of the Migration.

  • Oracle Forms 10g - logic for self-limiting dropboxes

    Hi all,
    I do not have any experience with Oracle Forms, and in fact don't even have it installed - what i'm trying to find out is whether something is feasible, and if so how hard it is to accomplish.
    I have three tables (we'll call them A, B and C). Table A is the main table, with 35,000 rows. There is a column that I use to join table A to table B, and another that I use to join table A to table C. Relationships and the SQL necessary for any queries are easy, but that's not the problem. What I am trying to figure out is how hard it is to set up a drop box on an oracle form where the user goes in, selects an item from Table A; the second and third drop boxes are then limited to what is being returned by the relationship mentioned above.
    A
    1 123
    1 234
    1 456
    1 789
    2 009
    2 008
    2 007
    B
    1 ABV
    1 FGJ
    1 KOP
    2 KLJ
    2 IIO
    2 KJO
    C
    1 **(
    1 ***
    1 **&
    2 (()
    2 (((
    2 $$$
    So if I select 123 from my Dropbox for Table A, then the second dropbox will only show ABV, FGJ, AND KOP and the third will have only **(, *** and **&.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Chris

    Hi Francois,
    I guess I should have explained my reasoning behind posting - I have a meeting this afternoon and was told that the person who develops these forms isn't able to take the time to make modifications to an existing form (which currently is all free text) to have it all these self-limiting drop boxes.
    So, given that it's possible, is it very complex, or is it similar to doing this sort of thing in Access or other MS products where you do a query in drop box B using the selection in A as the parameter?
    Appreciate your help
    Chris

  • Oracle 10g Admin-I is done, what next?

    Hi,
    I have completed Oracle 10g Admin I & SQL. Can i take Oracle 11g Admin II or i just have to completed Oracle 10g Admin II (Instructer Lead) exam and the go for an upgrade to 11g ?
    Plz suggest.
    Regards

    Your question is not really clear. I'm going to take some guesses at what you mean and what you are asking
    I have completed Oracle 10g Admin I & SQL.I'm guessing that by this you mean that you have passed two Oracle certification exams, presumably:
    *1Z0-007     Introduction to Oracle9i SQL*
    and
    *1Z0-042     Oracle Database 10g: Administration I*     
    Can i take Oracle 11g Admin II I'm assuming that you are asking if you can take the following exam:
    *1Z0-053     Oracle Database 11g: Administration II*
    This exam is on a different track than 1Z0-042. The two cannot be combined for any certification.
    or i just have to completed Oracle 10g Admin II (Instructer Lead) exam To complete the Oracle 10G certification, you must pass the following exam:
    *1Z0-043     Oracle Database 10g: Administration II*
    The exam itself is not instructor-lead, so I don't know what you mean by that. In addition to passing the test, you must attend instructor-lead training. The courses valid for the 10G track can be found here:
    http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=244#2
    and the go for an upgrade to 11g ?Once you have your 10G certification, you can upgrade to having an 11G OCP certification by passing the following exam:
    *1Z0-050     Oracle Database 11g: New Features for Administrators*

  • Can i take 1z0-042 (10g admin 1)  after 1z0-007 Oracle 9i

    Hello ! I have a query about Oracle Certification 10g admin 1 (1z0-042).
    I have passed 1z0-007 Oracle SQL 9i in december 28 , 2012.
    Now i have decided to complete OCP DBA track in Oracle 10g.
    My Questions are,
    1. should i need to upgrade?
    2. Does1z0-042 complet my OCA ?
    3. Will I have a choice to complete OCP by taking 1z0-043 ?
    according to this link
    Oracle Exam 1Z0-007 Is Being Retired: What Does That Mean to Me?
    it's clear that i can take 1z0-042 exam having previous passed1z0-007 (SQL 9i) .
    I am just asking this for my complete satisfaction before i am preparing for next exam.
    thanks...

    1. should i need to upgrade?
    2. Does1z0-042 complet my OCA ?
    3. Will I have a choice to complete OCP by taking 1z0-043 ?
    I'm going to answer these out of order:
    2. Yes. Passing 1Z0-042 would make you an Oracle Database 10g Administrator Certified Associate.
    3. Once you have the 10g OCA, if you pass 1Z0-043 and complete the required hands-on training, you would become an Oracle Database 10g Administrator Certified Professional.
    1.  Once you are at step three (i.e. a 10g OCP), you can upgrade to 11g... and soon to 12c. This is good from a career standpoint, but I would not go to the extreme of saying you need to.  If it comes to that, you don't need to become certified at all. Certification can help in your career as an Oracle DBA, but it is not a requirement.

  • Details on TAF support in Oracle AS 10g

    Hi experts,
    I'm currently writing a Master's Thesis on High Availability of Applications based on Sun’s JEE platform.
    With Oracle being one of the big players in this market I'm going to investigate the features of the Oracle product stack and compare it with other solutions including opensource.
    At the moment I'm looking for details on TAF-support in Oracle AS 10g. Let’s assume one has installed the latest release of the Oracle 10g database in a RAC configuration on two or more physical nodes to store the applications data. Let’s further assume one has set up the latest release of the Oracle AS 10g on different hosts building an AS farm with clustered OC4J-instances. Now one would like to connect a JEE application running within these OC4J-instances to the RAC database.
    Therefore one can configure an OC4J datasource to use a service definition supporting network failover and transparent application failover (TAF) specified in the tnsnames.ora on the AS hosts or directly describe the service in the data-sources.xml. To my knowledge only datasources configured to use the OCI client can be used with TAF. Everything right so far?
    Now the interesting part. The best what TAF can do is automatically reconnect to the next known database node if it’s current node is not reachable or fails, and continue processing an open cursor for select so that the application can continue to use it’s current connection.
    If the application is running a database transaction it can only be rolled back and rerun after failover.
    In a good old plain Java application one had to implement the OracleOCIFailover interface and register a callback with the db connection in order to receive failover events. Therefore you need to process the query in a different thread.
    In a JEE server only the container should be responsible for creating threads, or? How does the Oracle AS support TAF? How can a user application get notice of a failover and react appropriately. Is the behaviour always the same no matter one decides to implement the data access via simple DAOs or entity beans (CMP/BMP)? I assume it is safe to use a connection pool and container will take care of the necessary cleanup jobs, right? Will the complete connection pool be reconstructed or only connections to the failed node?
    Does the application server internally use these OCI callbacks and wrap them up into special Exceptions? Is there anything an application programmer has to do in order to make his data access code ready for TAF, especially in case of failover while the db is processing transactional code?
    Any insights and/or code snippets would be greatly appreciated!
    Ah, one last question. From a HA perspective is it generally a bad idea to put application logic into the database (use CDM RuleFrame and so on) as there is no support in preserving package states or do you think this makes no difference as one has always to repeat everything since the last commit point no matter in which tier the code resides?
    During the next days I’m going to set up the above environment for testing. A 10.0.2.1 RAC on RHE4 is already up and running fine. AS 10.1.3.0.0 on RHE4 is following today or tomorrow.
    Many thanks for all answers!
    Regards,
    Eric

    Hi,
    well, I thought I could dig into the OC4J documentation before installing the server. After reading the OC4J Service Guide for 10.1.2 and 10.1.3 I'm a little bit confused.
    First I read the 10.1.2 Service Guide and almost everything seemed to be clear. I found a lot of answers to the questions above. I'd like to sum them up. Please correct me if I got something wrong!
    - TAF only works on top of OCI driver
    - TAF can be used with connection pooling
    - OC4J takes care of connection pool cleanup (OC4J and OCI Pool)
    These two pools are mentioned. It's not clear to me how they work together. Do one of you know some source where I can get more information about this?
    - after a failover all connections in the pool are checked by OC4J and only alive ones will survive
    - in case of a failover TAF issues an exception
    - the application has to catch this exception and acknowledge with a rollback, after that the transaction can be restarted (this seems to be the responsibility of the applications code, oc4j will not replay something automatically; If I got it right, CMP entity beans will be an exception to this rule - there OC4J will proceed transparently...)
    - the application can use OCI callbacks to customize the failover behavior (well I would like to see some source code example here, as I can't imagine how this could look like)
    After that I read the 10.1.3 service guide. The section about datasources in conjunction with HA is much shorter. Besides TAF new? mechanism is introduced, namely Fast Connection Failover (FCF). There is not much information about it but references to the JDBC Guide, because FCF is a feature of the implicit JDBC connection cache. Where cache seems to be just another word for pool.
    By the way, the example on p. 4-36 looks wrong at first glance. Enabling FCF and setting:
    <property name="fastConnectionFailoverEnabled" value="false"/> ???
    Seems to be a typo in the docu, or?
    I got the impression, that the text is written as if FCF being TAF's successor, without explicitly saying this. Is this right?
    So I proceeded reading the JDBC Developer Guide to lean more about FCF. Here is what I learned:
    - since 10g available
    - FCF is driver independend (you can also use the thin driver)
    - prerequisites are implicit connection cache (pool) enabled, ONS must be configured
    - in case of a failover the transcation will be rolled back automatically (not by the application); whereas using TAF you have to use a rollback to acknowledge the error
    - only one exception ORA-17008 to catch
    - application has to obtain a new connection from the cache (pool), where as using TAF the old connection object can be used, and resend the transaction (same as with TAF)
    So when to use what? The comparison on p. 27-8 was not very helpful to find an answer to this question.
    On p. 28-1 one can read that TAF does not work with the OCI Connection Pool. That's seems to be contradictory to the statement in Service Guide of 10.1.2 that OC4J takes care of both pools (OC4J and OCI). Or has something changed in 10.1.3 in that regard? May be this is because of the changes in Cache or Pool Management?
    What is the advantage of using TAF within OC4J in 10g, if there is any?
    What about select statements with FCF? You can only read about transactions. I'd assume the application would get the same exception executing a query (ORA-17008) as executing a transaction, right? So TAF should have the advantage of transparently proceeding selects after a failover. Am I right?
    I'd love to see more examples and comparisons of TAF and FCF.
    Regards,
    Eric

  • Oracle JDeveloper 10g (10.1.2) has been certified ?

    In this Oracle JDeveloper 10g (10.1.2) have many bug fix.
    Is Oracle JHeadstart 10g Release 9.0.5.1 has been certified with the Oracle JDeveloper 10g (10.1.2) ?

    To summarize the position of JHeadstart for ADF (JHeadstart 10.1):
    Almost a year ago, we already announced the JHeadstart for ADF release, explaining how you can ensure that the migration will go as smooth as possible. See the forum thread at its Jheadstart like ADF? .
    This information was also included in the JHeadstart Frequently Asked Questions (see questions 15 and 15a) at http://www.oracle.com/technology/consulting/9iservices/jhs_faq_ext905.htm .
    Quote from the JHeadstart FAQ:
    If you already use JHeadstart we recommend you to upgrade to the new version of JHeadstart (9.0.5.1) do the following to make the migration from this JHeadstart release to the JHeadstart-ADF release as smooth as possible:
    [ul][li]
    * generate as much as possible of your application using the JAG. The metadata structure will stay the same, but the generator output will be fairly different.
    [li][li]
    * put all your business logic in BC4J app modules or ViewObjects. Do not put a lot of code in handler business methods, but have the handler business methods delegate to the corrsponding AM or VO. The reason for this is that the handlers will go away in ADF, ADF allows you to drag and drop your (client exported) AM/VO methods directly onto your page or Struts action.
    [li][ul]
    If you have not used JHeadstart before you can either start using ADF or JHeadstart and make the switch to ADF when JHeadstart-ADF release comes out like described above. In all circumstances it is a good choice to familiarize yourself with ADF. Good knowledge of this framework is required when you use the JHeadstart-ADF release.
    JHeadstart is the only tool that offers you migration of your existing application structure and data operations to the ADF Model (Data Controls and Data Bindings).
    Furthermore, the new JHeadstart 10.1.0 release (compatible with JDeveloper 10.1.2.0.0) will be able to generate more features than the previous release JHeadstart 9.0.5, which means that you will need less post-generation changes.

  • Oracle self study - satisfy requirement  for PerformanceTuning Cert Exp?

    If I was to buy the "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning" self study CD does that satisfy the training requirement for cert "Oracle Database 11g Performance Tuning Certified Expert"?

    Thanks, BradNo.
    Self study CDROMs are never acceptable to satisfy the training pre-requsite requirement
    Only OU classroom classes or LVC/LWC (Online) classes are acceptable (For some certifcations workforce / academy or OAEC delivery of OU training can be acceptable ... but check carefully to avoid being caught out).
    As an alternative pre-req 11g DBA OCP certification removes the need for this training requirement (though this has its own training requirement):

  • Self Study CDs, Classroom...?

    Hi -
    I've been using the all-in-one 10g OCA/OCP Oracle guide to sudy for OCA.
    Would anyone give a specific recommendation for augmenting this with the self-study CDs or even classroom training (Oracle U)?
    The book alone is perfectly comprehensible.
    But my concern is that only CDs or, more likely, the classroom, is going to insure that I get the full range of the current material that the is covered in the test.
    Thanks,
    David

    David,
    I attended the two classes at Oracle University (10g Admin I & Admin II), and I used the same reference to pass the exams and clear my 10g OCP. The instructor himself recommended the "All-In-One" exam guide in addition to the course material.
    For me, I can say that this reference was really helpful in clearing the exams and getting the certificate. Just make sure you cover the Exam Topics in the exams links.
