1Z1-060 OCP 12c beta program

I'm 11g OCP and wonder about the 12c beta upgrade program. Unfortunately I have no experience with beta or new feature certifications. Reading at https://blogs.oracle.com/certification/entry/0856_15 I wonder if beta tests are generally more complex and hence more difficult to pass then regular OCP new feature certifications. Since the beta exam can only be taken once, I also wonder what happens if I fail on the first attempt. I suppose I could retake the OCP new features exam again to upgrade to 12c OCP once it is released. Can anyone share some experience?
The beta exam offers a 1 week training class. My experience with the 11g OCP is that it requires a lot more studying, preparation and understanding than what is possible to achieve in 1 week. It seems to me the beta program is only available at Oracle University and cannot be obtained at any other training centers, e.g. in India. Is this correct? Since I will have to pay for this from my own wallet I was wondering if I could purchase the Oracle University training material without attending the course. Is this possible?

Answering the above four questions:
1. Beta exams aren't more complex exactly, but they contain many more questions and therefore take longer to complete. They can also have errors (it is a beta after all) that can cause confusion. I talk about Oracle bets tests in a blog post here:
Oracle Certification Prep: Oracle Beta Exams -- The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
2. You don't get your score at the end of the exam like production tests. You won't get it for about eleven weeks *after* the beta has ended. This is why you can only take it once. If you fail the bets, you can take the production exam just as you would if you failed the production exam on the first attempt.
3. The training is unlikely to be available anywhere except at Oracle. My (limited) understanding is that non-Oracle training centers either purchase the material or pay royalties to Oracle in order to be able to teach Oracle curriculum. They tend to lag behind OU by a release or two. A lot of the centers in India were still teaching Oracle 9i courses. I don't know if that is because the material required cheaper royalties or if there was a one-time fee and they had not paid for newer releases. Regardless, seeing bleeding-edge classes at WDP providers is unlikely.
4. Oracle does not sell their material without the course. The closest thing to that is their self-paced CDs. I don't know if they have one for the 12c new features yet, but the cost of the CDs is very nearly that of their training-on-demand.

Beta Refresh Release Now Available! Sun Cluster 3.2 Beta Program

The Sun Cluster 3.2 Release team is pleased to announce a Beta Refresh release. This release is based on our latest and greatest build of Sun Cluster 3.2, build 70, which is close to the final Revenue Release build of the product.
To apply for the Sun Cluster 3.2 Beta program, please visit:
https://feedbackprograms.sun.com/callout/default.html?callid=%7B11B4E37C-D608-433B-AF69-07F6CD714AA1%7D
or contact Eric Redmond <[email protected]>.
New Features in Sun Cluster 3.2
Ease of use
* New Sun Cluster Object Oriented Command Set
* Oracle RAC 10g improved integration and administration
* Agent configuration wizards
* Resources monitoring suspend
* Flexible private interconnect IP address scheme
Availability
* Extended flexibility for fencing protocol
* Disk path failure handling
* Quorum Server
* Cluster support for SMF services
Flexibility
* Solaris Container expanded support
* HA ZFS
* HDS TrueCopy campus cluster
* Veritas Flashsnap Fast Mirror Resynchronization 4.1 and 5.0 option support
* Multi-terabyte disk and EFI label support
* Veritas Volume Replicator 5.0 support
* Veritas Volume Manager 4.1 support on x86 platform
* Veritas Storage Foundation 5.0 File System and Volume Manager
OAMP
* Live upgrade
* Dual partition software swap (aka quantum leap)
* Optional GUI installation
* SNMP event MIB
* Command logging
* Workload system resource monitoring
Note: Veritas 5.0 features are not supported with SC 3.2 Beta.
Sun Cluster 3.2 beta supports the following Data Services
* Apache (shipped with the Solaris OS)
* DNS
* NFS V3
* Java Enterprise System 2005Q4: Application Server, Web Server, Message Queue, HADB

Without speculating on the release date of Sun Cluster 3.x or even its feature list, I would like to understand what risk Sun would take when Sun Cluster would support ZFS as a failover filesystem? Once ZFS is part of Solaris 10, I am sure customers will want to use it in clustered environments.
BTW: this means that even Veritas will have to do something about ZFS!!!
If VCS is a much better option, it would be interesting to understand what features are missing from Sun Cluster to make it really competitive.

Although the answer is going to be the same, I would prefer to know what version of Premiere Elements is involved and on what computer operating system it is running in order to get version specific when necessary without requesting the information later than sooner.
Not sure what you mean by
The idea is that whenever the Blu-Ray comes up, it always shows the beginning 25-second sequence, then always goes to a menu that says "Play Movie" and "Scene Menu" or something to that effect
Stop markers do not function in the playback of Premiere Elements (any version) Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc. They do in the playback of Premiere Elements (any version) DVD-VIDEO format on a DVD disc.
You would have to find another video editor for that purpose or export your Premiere Elements Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive and then taken into another program for menu creation (with a stop marker like feature) and burn to disc there. You would need to determine ahead of time what formats the other program support.
Blu-ray burn to project
If you have 9 scenes and place scene markers for each
a. the viewer can select any one of the scenes from the scene selection page
b. with or without stop markers, it will be the same at playback of the Blu-ray disc, example
if the viewer selects scene 5 from the scene selection page, playback will be scenes 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 with automatic
return to the main menu
if the viewer selects scene 1 from the scene selection page, playback will be scenes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 with automatic
return to the main menu
Please let us know if the above targeted your question. Please do not hesitate to ask for clarification on anything that I have written.
Thank you.

Just an FYI John, NeoOffice is no longer free, (but it is cheap at least)

Let me start with the unixODBC driver:
There's no generic location as it depends which package you've used to install the UnixODBC driver manager or how you compiled it from scratch. I commonly prefer to compile it from scratch as this offers me to install it to any location I like.
If you're not sure where it is located, you could perform a search on your machine looking for libodbc.so. Then cross check it with "file <location>/libodbc.so" to see the lib is a 64bit library.
So let's assume in the /usr/lib64 you found the libodbc.so library, then the setting
HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME=/usr/lib64/libodbc.so
is correct. Else you need to adopt the parameter.
Next step is to check out which unixODBC version is installed. That's commonly done by calling "odbcinst -j".
Looking now ta the gateway init file there's a parameter HS_NLS_NCHAR set to UTF-8. UnixODBC is commonly compiled with UCS2 support, so please change it to HS_NLS_NCHAR=UCS2
Could you also please post the content of the odbc.ini file "more /etc/odbc.ini"?
Thanks,
Klaus

I suppose that is nice.
It would be even nicer if the drivers actually conformed to JDBC so that one could for example reliably use blobs in a J2EE server with CMP.

Current Testing Status due for Business Process Management Beta Program

Hello all,
Current testing status for your Oracle Business Process Management Beta Program projects was due March 26th. I received a few reports already (many thanks to those who posted their status!). For those who could not submit the status earlier, please log on to http://otnbeta.oracle.com/bpm1209/index.htm using your account id/pwd and click the link "Submit Status" on the page.
Your testing status would offer us a valuable insight into the blocking issues faced by Beta sites and helps us respond to your needs in a timely manner.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks. Yes - the existing Oracle BPM forum has been around for a while and is very active.
Just as you've done on this post, something I've seen on other forums that proved very helpful is for a forum administrator to post an announcement on the forum. In this announcement they asked people posting threads to include their version of the software with their question.
Please consider taking this approach with the existing Oracle BPM forum and have the administrator of the exsting Oracle BPM forum post this announcement. That way we will know immediately when new threads appear that it is an Oracle BPM 11g question. This will help lessen the confusion and continue to make the forum useful for all Oracle BPM customers.
Thanks again,
Dan

3D Topicscape beta program just ended

After its beta period (special thanks to all the Beta Users who signed up through the Java tech forums), applications to join the beta program are now closed.
Any active Topicscape Beta User who has not received their free licence, please contact beta at topicscape dot com. Although Topicscape is on sale, 3D-Scape will still honor their promise of a free version to every existing Beta User who sends reports of significant bugs or makes suggestions that they use. These must be bugs found in the latest on-line version (this is the public full-featured trial version - no beta user log in required now).

Thanks for the system info and the summary of the file issue. I'll check to see what's up with the apostrophes in the workspace names and forward to the Bridge folks, too.
Thanks,
Pattie

Any way to play with Marvel without being in the beta program?

Hi - I tried using the search facility for FAQ and couldn't find anything. The only link to Project Marvel I can find indicates I need to register for the beta program. Is there any way to just play around with it without being required to develop a test application and other such stuff?
Thanks,
Doug

though you do need to register/sign_up to use project marvel, you don't necessarilly need to fully participate in the formal beta program. simply indicate in the section of the registration that says "Project(s) Description (describe what you intend to use this tool for)" that you'd like to play around with the tool. so long as you provide useful feedback if/when you encounter it, i'm pretty sure you should be good to go. as a bit of advice, though, creating a simple application or two from start to finish (with authentication and such in place) really goes a long way towards grasping the big picture. given that it can be a matter of minutes to create such a tiny app with marvel, it's hard to pass that big picture up.
Regards,
The Project Marvel Team

Hi there!
Unfortunately, Skype's beta versions are not present for download at the moment and Skype, as far as I know, does not have an application process that is required to be undergone in order to acquire a beta version of Skype.
Someone else correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.
Update: After minutes of re-looking up things, the download link is available on the Skype for Windows Download Page. The direct link is also available here. Sorry for the confusion!
