Availability of software in OTN and SAC

Folks,
Thanks for setting up a separate thread for feedback and suggestions...
I was wondering how we can address the problem of software being replaced too quickly in OTN/SAC by the latest version. We run into this issue very often. By the time development completes and QA take over the tools are repalced with their latest version and by the time of QA completion, the software is again replaced and we are having a tough time finding the one used for development, to ship it to customers.
We can save the downloaded zip files in local drives but teams feel comfortable downloading it from a reputed location such as OTN/SAC rather than from a local hard disk.
Thoughts?
Srini.

What product(s) are you finding this to be the case with? OTN doesn't keep an archive of Oracle software for many reasons but mainly due to the fact that we encourage developers to download and play with the latest products and technologies. eDelivery.oracle.com would seem to be a more appropriate place for customers to grab production code since it's the repository of GA Oracle products.

  • My Mac has Snow Leopard 10.5.8. I want to install Mtn. Lion. Apple says I first need to install SL 10.6.8 and that it'll be available at Software Updates. It isn't. Now what?

    My Mac has Snow Leopard 10.5.8. I want to install Mtn. Lion. Apple says I first need to install SL 10.6.8 and that it'll be available at Software Updates. It isn't (and I've installed every software update I can pull up.) Now what?

    10.5.8 is Leopard. 10.6.x is Snow Leopard.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions.  The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download.
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Are my applications compatible?
    See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
    Am I eligible for the free upgrade?

    Thank you for posting and welcome to Nokia Support Discussions! 
    Try to reinstall the software of your Nokia C2-02. Using Nokia Suite click on Tools > Software update > Reinstall.
    If in case you can't reinstall the software, try doing a master reset. Go to Menu > Settings > Restore factory settings > Restore All.

  • GoldenGate documentation on OTN and Metalink?

    Recently Oracle announced the decision to purchase GoldenGate software. I was wondering if anyone at Oracle knows when the actual GoldenGate documentation,
    patches, and software will be available on OTN and/or Metalink? As a former GoldenGate employee, it interests me a great deal especially working with current GoldenGate and Oracle customer.
    Cheers,

    Thanks. Is that offer for any Oracle customer, or only for those with Golden Gate licenses?
    As it is, (as an architect and instructor) I simply need to understand how your technology works so I can look at discussing the mesh with other Oracle products. Hoping that your docs will be put on Tahiti.oracle.com soon.

  • HP Driver "Can't install because it is not available from Software Update Server"

    Proplem: Can't use my HP Officejet 6500 E709n on my MacBook Pro, even using USB connection.    I click on sign, get add printer window showing the HP 6500 printer as USB Multifunction.  I select and press 'add'.  I get 'setting up ...' window.  After a while I get the error window, "Can't install the software for the HP Office jet 6500 E709n because it is not currently available from Software Update Server."  Only option is cancel.
    HP site says that it supports Mountain Lion and the only way to get the driver is through Apple's Software Update.
    Apple's site says Mountain Lion supports HP 6500 printer.
    The Windows 7 computer on the netword prints fine to it.
    I would really like to get this connected.  Does anyone have a clue why the driver is not on the Software Update Server what the fix is?
    Thank you for the help.

    Fantastic, Mene1 & John.  Thank you.  I deleted the HP Folder, deleted trash, reboot, and reinstalled.  USB installed like a charm.  Was able to print and scan.   I even noticed that the Fax printer came up for both USB and 192.168.1.65.  I installed the fax printer for the network and it works great without USB.   
    However, the network for the printer never showed up in the list.  I tried IP option and entered the address.  It correctly identified the printer in the "use" field.  However, when I click on 'add' is has a window that says, "Unable to verify the printer on your network.  Unable to contact to '192.168.1.65' due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?"   I choose Continue, and it creates the printer.  Printing, it just sits there trying to connect with the printer.    Again, the printer is hardwired into my home network and I am using my AT&T U-verse Wi-Fi connection to my MacBook Pro (which works for Fax on the printer). 
    Any ideas?

  • HP Printer Driver not currently available from Software Update server

    I have an iMac (early 2009) and an HP OfficeJet 6100 Series printer.  I just upgraded my Apple Extreme Base Station and when I try to add the printer again thru the new Base Station the iMac says the software is available from the Apple Server but after searching it returns the following message: "Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet 6100 Series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."  This has been going on for days.  I have the driver installed already from having the printer connected via USB and via my old Base Station but cannot "see" the printer on my new Base Station without adding it again.
    Any suggestions?

  • Firefox 8.0.1 bypasses Windows software restriction policy and Windows UAC

    With the release of Firefox 8.0.1, Firefox bypasses Windows Software Restriction Policy (SRP).
    With Firefox 8.0.0 - (and previous), Firefox conformed to the policy set forth in SRP.
    In addition to the fact that Firefox completely ignores Windows SRP, Firefox also ignores Windows User Account Control. Standard, non-admin, accounts are able to install Firefox without administrative privileges. When the user executes the Firefox installer, Windows UAC prompts the user to elevate to install the program. If the user clicks "no" the Firefox installer continues past UAC and installs the program in the user's %appdata%\local folder instead of the %programfiles% (if the user were to elevate). Any other program would have ceased the installation if not elevated.
    I haven't seen any other software ignore SRP and continue to run and/or bypass UAC and continue to install.
    Please advise on what software policy needs to be in place to prevent Firefox from being installed and ran on my domain.

    UAC prevents software from making system-wide changes without an administrator's consent. It's purpose isn't for IT staff to control which software may run, though most installers try to make their software available to all users on the computer.
    Are you checking the hash of the installer instead of the executable? Firefox get's updated frequently enough that maintaining hashes will be a lot of work.
    I haven't tried this, but perhaps populating user profile folders with a read-only path will cause the Firefox installer to fail. You'll also need to consider [http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable portable firefox]

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Concerning Epson Printer 4880: after changing the Ink from Photo Black to Matte Black I'm not getting the Epson Software in Photoshop and Lightroom. I can not select the paper medium, I don't see my profiles. What is wrong?

    Concerning Epson Printer 4880: after changing the Ink from Photo Black to Matte Black I'm not getting the Epson Software in Photoshop and Lightroom. I can not select the paper medium, I don't see my profiles. What is wrong?

    That is priceless!!!  Thanks!  I sure needed a good laugh after spending/wasting hours & days trying to either get my c6280 to give up on its Ink System Failure fixation, or find a decent replacement.  Unfortunately I need the Smart Web Printing feature that I guess only HP has, or I'd try a different brand. And now even HP has very few models with that available.
     My error msg is a little different from those previously stated, but close:  0xc18a0201.  Even tho there were frustrations with my c6280, I did like several of its unique features which are hard to find now under $100.  I hate how HP (& I suppose other brands also) are CONSTANTLY changing models & then of course ink cartridges.
    Oh heavens, I've had the c6280 a whopping 2 1/2 years!   I'm sure they want us poor slobs to have to buy a new one every year & a day!  To say nothing of the exorbitant prices for ink.  And now if this one is really dead in the water, I have SIX unused #02 ink cartridges which I cannot return---I got them in a combo pack, & for some reason have wound up with THREE lite pink & THREE lite blue cartridges, while having to buy extras of the other colors, that ran out before the others!!!   Yeah, & what's with that not being able to print in BLACK if a color runs out????
    Anyway I really loved your essay!   It's a classic!  And says it all!  I hate that we have to be 'slaves' to the electronic 'wonders'!!!

  • Epson 2.1 Drivers Available Through Software Update

    An Epson Printer Driver update, version 2.1, is now available via Software Update.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669 has been updated: a '+' designates the added models, and a '*' designates the updated models.

    My printer (DX4850) also stopped working. I reset the printing system then added the printer again and it appears to work.
    If that doesn't work I imagine that re-installing the Epson drivers from the Snow Leopard install DVD will fix it.
    Unfortunately the Epson 2.0 drivers have been taken off Apple's site. These are the same as the drivers on the Snow Leopard DVD but it's a little easier to use the download instead of fishing out the DVD again and re-installing every printer driver. Presumably Apple were so confident in their testing process that they felt they could do that.
