1Z0-146 or 1Z1-144? clarification please

I passed the following certification exams -
1) 1Z0-147 - Program with PL/SQL exam first and
2) 1Z0-051 - Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I exam next.
Looking at the certification path for Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional, I see that I can either write 1Z0-146 - Oracle 11g Advanced PL/SQL OR the beta 1Z1-144 exam Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL. Am I correct in this assumption or am I allowed only to take 1Z0-146 to get the Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional ?
The certification path diagrams look clear enough. But I am a bit confused with the plus signs in one path diagram versus the forward arrows in another diagram, if that makes any sense at all.
I read elsewhere that the order in which I take the exams (or the hands-on course, if any) does not matter, so I decided I would ask the forum.
I would much appreciate any clarification on this point.

Could you please clarify as I have cleared 1z0-051 and want to go for OCP developer track but get confused whether I should go for 1z0-147 or 1z1-144(beta). Well as I have said many times I think 1z0-144 is a more modern exam and the topics are better chosen.
Your problem, as you are aware, is that when 1z0-144 beta finishes which should be 2009-09-10, (could slip again I suppose, but perhaps unlikely) and perhaps 2009-12-01 or so, 12 weeks later when production exam emerges
Can I go first for 1z0-146 and then later on for 1z0-144 , is it feasable?It is possilbe to do this, but your certification will not be approved until you have completed both.

Thanks for your answers.
It is not so nmuch that you are confused, it is that you have a choice and none of the options are perfect.

We have exams guides for 1Z0-051 & 1Z0-052 like
http://www.oracle-base.com/misc/OCPCertification.php
Do we have such books for 1Z0-144 & 1Z0-146 exams too?
If not, please also let me know the best books to study for 1Z0-144 & 1Z0-146 exams?

There are no specifically exam focused books for these exams now or in the pipeline as far as I am aware. (This is the cause in fact for the majority of oracle certification examinations that are available).
If not, please also let me know the best books to study for 1Z0-144 & 1Z0-146 exams?
This has been discsussed previously on the forum.
Some simple searching yields for example : {thread:id=1025815}
The Oracle Documentation itself is in fact quite good, and sometimes IMHO better than the books!

Is there Insufficient incentive for people to consider 1z1-144?

Seeing one or two posts in the last week I believe there is insufficient carrot (incentive) for potential candidates to take 1z1-144.
Nearly everyone wishing to get PL/SQL developer OCA will simply look at the extra effort and potential delays if they go the 1z1-144 route, and will go for 1z0-147 instead.
There must surely be a risk of insufficient numbers taking 1z1-144, which will lead to a delay in the beta process, which probably isnt good for anybody, least of all those who have taken the beta.
I would suggest that a voucher be given to 1z1-144 beta that could be used towards:
- (1) 1z0-144 if they fail their beta
or
- (2) 1z0-146
PLUS
- (3) A voucher to take 1z0-147 at a beta exam price if beta testing is extended beyond the current beta closure date when people pay for their 1z1-144 exam.
Anyone any comments ....

Thanks for the suggestion ... I think i'd want to modify my original thoughts to only give beta test failures receiving retake discount vouchers ...
I think on retrospect beta failure who did not pass but achieved a certain level of performance should get a discount voucher (eg within 10% of pass or something), those who achieve a little better than a four year old pressing answer A the whole time should not be entitlled to a free retake.
Anyway with only one response I am not sure this is a running idea so I'll close question as answered. - rgds -bigdelboy

Books/reading material for 1Z0-146

Hi,
Can anyone guide me regd books/reading material for exam 1Z0-146 (Oracle Database 11g: Advanced PL/SQL).
If anyone has given this exam, please help with details.

user4589793 wrote:
There is such a paucity of material for this examination, it makes it very difficult. I studied off the Oracle suggestions at the web site for the exam, then took the test and failed, with 50%. I didn't even complete the last 7 questions for lack of time. Poor time management on my part. However, I'm glad I took the exam. It's the only legitimate way to get real insight into the nature of the questions, and to apply that to how I will study to take it again. I did use the newest Fuerstein book. In my opinion it is his best hands down.
Since failing, I also purchased uCertify's practice test, the only non-braindump prep test for 1z0-146 I know of. I don't think its questions are of Self Test Software quality with regard to likeness of its question format to the actual Oracle exam, but after having taken the exam I think it's better than some give it credit for and will definitely be a help, IMHO.
I have my OCP in 9i Database and have passed two of the three exams for my Advanced PL/SQL OCP. I have never and would never touch a braindump site, as I'm sure you wouldn't or you wouldn't be asking for legitimate sources. I wish Oracle or it's approved prep vendor (Self Test) would make a legitimate alternative available. Without a legitimate alternative - Oracle Press and/or Self Test - honest test takers have a harder time passing. It's logical to assume that cheaters would comprise a higher percentage of all passers of this test than they do in tests with legitimate prep material.
Oracle does have a course with a manual for 1z0-146. However, the course has yet to actually be offered anywhere, live or virtual, as I have checked. I don't know if Oracle would make available in some way the manual for us to study from. I still think Oracle should produce an Oracle Press book as well as pressure or subsidize Self Test Software to make a prep exam.
Hope that helps.

Layton, UtahI'd endorse this as a good answer with a lot of good balanced views and points, thus IMHO well worthy of a correct 10 points.

Thanks.As you probably noticed the authorized exam provider (Kaplan IT trading as Transcender and SelfTestSoftware) do not currently appear to provide a test for 1z0-146
Most, if not all, practice exams you will see by searching on the web are unauthorised training material:
See: [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/05/the_route_you_choose.html]
Certguard will show that these are typically braindump websites [http://www.certguard.com] .... really you should only consider sites that are guarenteed non braindump.
There are a few sample questions (10) with the exam topics (I call these the beta exam rejects).
Basically you are your own with this. But at east by the time you are taking 1z0-146 you will have taken and passed 2 certiifcation exams at least anyway.

Study Guide for Advanced PL/SQL (1z0-146)

Topic on Certification exam 1z0-146

Hi folks,
About 1z0-146 (Advanced PL/SQL ) exam topics, what should be a more detailed description of this topic :
Analyzing PL/SQL Code
[] Run reports on source code
to what package or utility does that topic make reference ?
thanks in advance.

I expect that would refer to a familiarity with the DBA_SOURCE, DBA_PROCEDURES, and DBA_DEPENDENCIES views.

Leaving it on v.s. leaving it off confusion (i need clarification please!)

Guys,
recently, I have read in a forum saying that it is more healthy for a computer running mac to be stayed on for a long period of time rather than turning it on and off everytime you want to use it. I mean, they prefer to put it in sleep or leave it on rather than turn it off...
They are saying that this is more efficient for Mac... I'm confused... Please give me clarifications...
thanks a lot!

That's probably a safe way to go, unless you use your portable as a
production machine; then I know of Mac columnists who keep some
of their Mac portables up and running for up to 16 days without a re-
start... at a desk and on a power adapter with adequate ventilation.
Some users keep them plugged-in, too; and let them sleep, to only shut
them off when traveling long distances where the computer would be in
a case. In that instance, you'd probably want to turn it off due to battery
life and heat considerations. Never let one sleep in a closed case or
where heat could become a big problem; ventilation is important.
As for using a portable as a desktop machine, it can be run for a long
time; but like many things, if you don't need to use it, turn it off. I have
a desktop machine that sometimes stays on all day; but given power
stability issues and random utility outages, I try to keep mine off when
I won't be using it... least the power company help its demise.
[That call-center must have someone occasionally do system
maintenance and let the day/week/month scripts run via an-
other means; such as using OnyX to do such chores; other
wise, a machine "on" all the time, not allowed to sleep, would
automatically do built-in routines during those night hours.]

CIS Scanning to folder setup - Clarification please

Hi
I'm very new to Xerox network scanning and am hoping for a little clarification on the setup process.
I'm looking at setting up scanning for individual members of staff on a WorkCentre 7556.
At the moment there are 4 Templates set up under 'Scan' in Centreware Internet Services (which I'll call CIS if it's ok...).
Each is for a department and is scanning to a share on a machine on the same subnet using smb.
There are no file repositories set up under CIS Properties->Services->Workflow Scanning->File Repository Setup but the scanning works fine (except that the share host keeps shutting down).
Everywhere I look up scanning in the documentation / on the web it seems to always start off talking about setting up Workflow Scanning File Repositories.
What I'm wondering is, what essentially is the difference between these and the way it's been done previously by just setting up a Scan template using smb with server, share, and authentication credentials please?
Many thanks

Hi Pauliolio,
Thank you for using the Support Forum. The difference is whether you are using FTP vs SMB. Since you are using SMB the repository is a shared directory which you must have set up since your scan is working. If you have additional questions please consider contacting your support centre for further assistance.

Understanding the _definst_ folder, I need clarification please

Hello all,
I understand with FMIS that we place our media files inside the _definst_ folder which is located in another folder (for example, one called 'streams') which is located in the applicaitons folder (Path: .../applications/streams/_definst_ )
Do I understand correctly that _definst_ can be named with any name as opposed to _definst_?
And if this is true, then all I have to do to ensure the video is located is to specify the actual name of the folder (for example: .../applications/streams/motorcycles )?
UPDATED:
I think I was reading things wrong. In going through Tom Green's tutorial I think I gained more understanding. Please let me know if this is more correct.
The _definst_ folder would be located in this path: .../applications/streams/motorcycles/_definst_
the thought being that the streams folder contains any number of other folders, /motorcycles, /boats, /cars, whatever, and in each of those folders goes a _definst_ folder into which the appropriate media is placed?
I am learning and wanted to make sure I understood this correctly.
Many thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
wordman

_definst_ is primarily used when you don't give your application connection an instance name. So:
rtmp://111.111.111.111/myApplication will connect to the _definst_ (default instance) instance.
Whereas if you use:
rtmp://111.111.111.111/myApplication/superVideo_v1 will connect to the superVideo_1 instance.
Why would you care? because you can separate out your users to instances. Like rooms in a chat app or something like that. Maybe you have a set of videos and you want to separate your users out to "paying" and "nonpaying" or something. Then put lower res videos in the non paying folder:
install dir of FMS/applications/myApplication/streams/nonpaying
and
install dir of FMS/applications/myApplication/streams/paying
Kind of thing. There's a whole slew of tutorials here to check out if you haven't seen them yet: http://www.fmsguru.com/tutorials.cfm

PAM Clarification Please - Installing Netweaver 7.0 on Win Server 2008 x64

Hello,
I hope someone here can help clarify SAP's PAM documentation (http://service.sap.com/pam) regarding Netweaver 7.0. We are currently running EP7SP16 on Windows Server 2003 x32. We are getting ready to install a whole new batch of portal servers (unrelated to the ones we already have in place) and I was wondering if it was supported, by SAP, to install NW 7.0 on Windows Server 2008 x64.
So, I went to the trusty 'ol PAM to look. Here is where the confusion started. It says Windows Server 2003 x64 is supported, but that Windows Server 2008 x64 is not, at least until Sun releases a 64-bit version of their 1.4.2.x JDK.
The reason I'm confused is I don't understand what the difference is between running Sun's 32-bit 1.4.2.x JDK on Server 2003 x64 as opposed to running the same JDK on Server 2008 x64. Why is 2003 supported and 2008 is not?
Thanks,
Tom
p.s. - Forgot to mention I already read OSS Note #1054740 which talks about 2008, but it didn't really help me in clearing up this question, beyond saying that it does work.

Hello Markus,
Thanks for the info, but could you clarify it a bit please? When you say 32bit applications are not supported on Windows 2008, do you mean SAP does not support running 32bit apps on a 64bit operating system? I ask this because the PAM does not indicate that. I understand that there is no 64bit 1.4.2 JDK, but the PAM says running Sun's 32bit 1.4.2 JDK on Windows 2003 64bit is supported. So, why wouldn't the same hold true for Windows 2008 64bit?
Thanks,
Tom

'compc' Clarification, please

I am a little confused about syntax for the command-line
component compiler, compc. Let's say I would like to build a .swc
library from the following packages:
components/directory1/package1.as
components/directory1/package2.as
components/directory2/package3.as
components/package4.as
What necessary compiler options should I include? Could
someone give me an example compc command based on the above package
tree?
Thanks
Edit: I apologize: I should post this in an ActionScript
forum.
