Certification for Oracle AS10g OCA-OCP

To all,
Right now I am looking at review materials for taking up the exam for OCA, but I think the topics covered were for the older version of Oracle AS10g(9.0.4).
I noticed that there is a lot of difference, directory structure and log files between ver 9.0.4. and the latest version that OracleAS has. (i.e. OracleAS 10.1.3.1)
So would you recommend taking the the certification for OracleAS or wait until Oracle comes up with a latest exam that applies for the latest versions?
regards,
Anton

Hi Anton,
I have recently passed the OCA AS10g exam. I didn't find much difference in exam. Hope you are referring to OracleAS 10g OCA Exam Guide (by Sam Alapati).
BTW I didn't find any material for OCP AS10g, did you get something for that?
Regards,
Preet

  • Should I go for Oracle 10g OCA/OCP or 11g OCA/OCP Certification?

    Hi all,
    I am lil bit confuse to decide about my oracle core dba certification.
    Please help me to know, as per the present requirements of the business organizations.
    ***Should I go for Oracle 10g OCA/OCP or 11g OCA/OCP Certification?***
    Hope u guys answer me earliest.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Most likely, it doesn't matter too much. I doubt that most employers are terribly concerned with what recent version of Oracle you have a certification on.
    That said, if it matters
    - What does your organization use? What are their plans to upgrade? If your company still uses 9.2 primarily and has plans to upgrade to 10.2 this year, you're probably better off with a 10g certification. If your company is already running mostly 11.2, you're probably better off with an 11g certification.
    - What do most employers in your particular part of the world tend to use? What do job postings in your particular part of the world generally list?

  • Preperation for Oracle 10g OCA exams

    Hi all,
    I am interested in finding out what exam prep guides helped you out the most for Oracle 10g OCA certification exams. Also what test exams helped you out the most for the 10g OCA exams?

    >>
    Believe me, just for the certification sake you wanna be OCA?
    I have come across of people who simply read test exam question, go to the testing centers and do pass the exams. What they really loosing here with this approch is that no confidence of their skills, not reading Oracle docs and testing the same, and when they face interview they had to find really some difficult question where there won't be any multiple choice list. This make the interviewrs or the concern person feeling that the OCA/P has really no strength.
    I would rather keep myslef reading the docs and doing the R&D before I appear for the exam.
    As you said, you don't want to spend much money for getting OCA, its like wasting your money completing an OCA, if you don't answer interviewer questions and didn't get the job.
    I am not discouraging you, rather, trying to put you on some confidence ROAD.

  • Preparation for Oracle 10g OCA and OCP exams

    Hi all,
    I am studying for my first Oracle 10g OCA exam. Thus far, I have the Transcender exam prep software and book from Oracle Press for the OCA/OCP exams with Oracle 10g. With a test Oracle 10g database to practice on while I study, am I on the right path?
    Thanks

    Use the http://education.oracle.com OR http://otn.oracle.com as your portal - you'll see the Certification link on either one. From the Certification page you will be able to drill down to the objectives and requirements of the exam. I suggest you use that as a checklist, as the various books and sample exams have been known to include mistakes or miss items.
    In addition, you should be familiar with the first few chapters of the Oracle Concepts manual and also, preferably, the first few chapters of the DB Admin Guide - both available from http://tahiti.oracle.com
    A great motto while learning is "trust no one - verify everything"

  • Want to know about certification path for Oracle 11g database OCP.

    Is it OK to give the exams first and then submit the course studied for OCP ?
    I have studied three modules required for OCP ; SQL Fundamentals, Admin I and Admin II, and now I am planning to give all 3 exams in January 2015. But I don't have Enrollment ID for course submission. The institute where I learned is trying for Oracle Workforce Development program for 11g, and it will take sometime. So presently I don't have Enrollment ID.

    SudeepShakya wrote:
    Thank You Very Much. I will take all 3 exams and then submit the course after the institute acquires affiliation.
    Could I take this opportunity to remind people to ensure people taking courses from non oracle university institutions ensure their training provider is authorized to deliver that training by Oracle University for the fullfilment of any associated Oracle certification training requirement.

  • Oracle 9i OCA/OCP Exam

    Hi,
    I just want to know that is it compulsory to study in any prometric centre for appearing in all exams of 9i/10G? Someone told me that, i will not eligible to appear in exam, until and unless i am not student of any prometric centre. Is it right?
    I am sorry, i do'nt know; whether i should post this query here or not?
    Please guide me.
    Thanks & Regrds

    Sir, Thanks you so much. I checked the link provided by you and there is nothing mentioned like "a person must be a student of prometric / oracle authorized centre, for eligible in 9i oca/ocp exam". It means, if i prepare myself and study the oracle, i am eligible to appear in the exam (no need to be student of prometric / oracle authorized, bocz this condition is no where mentioned).
    Thanks & Regards

  • Oracle 11gR2 certification for Oracle Linux 6

    Hello,
    According to Oracle documentation, database certification and support for Oracle 11gR2 under Oracle Linux starts with 11.2.0.3.
    I was wondering if this might have anything to do with the i386 software prerequisites. Speaking of Oracle 11gR2 x86_64, the need for i386 libraries was removed with 11gR2 11.2.0.2. Or in other words, one can go straight to 11.2.0.2 without the need to install any 32-bit libraries.
    Under Oracle Linux 5 x86_64, the "oracle-validated" package triggers the installation of several i386 packages. Under Oracle Linux 6 x86_64, the oracle-rdbms-server-11gr2-preinstall package uses x86_64 only. Under Oracle Linux 6, i386 changed to i686.
    For what it's worth, I have installed Oracle 11gR2 database 11.2.0.1 under Oracle Linux 6.1 to 6.3, both x86_64, simply by using the oracle-rdbms-server-11gr2-preinstall package, and so far have not noticed any problems. Is there some information available, why 11.2.0.1 (x86_64) should not be used or is not certified for Oracle Linux 6 (x86_64)?
    Thanks.

    I was afraid of that. Since the question is Oracle Linux 6 specific, I thought I'd try my luck here, thinking that if I get an answer, then probably here. Maybe it was not very realistic to get an answer anyway.
    For what it's worth. Using "oracle-validated" under Oracle Linux 5, and "oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall" under Oracle Linux 6, I was able to install Oracle 11gR2 11.2.0.1 just fine, both platforms x86_64 and 32-bit. I have not found any operational issues yet and it seems to run perfectly well.
    The only trouble I had was with Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.1, and here 11.2.0.3 is indeed required for it to install. I made a custom patch, just a few lines and after that 11.2.0.1, both x86_64 and 32-bit installed just fine and is fully operational.
    I'm though I could post the patch. I guess it might make those people happy who do not have access to Oracle support and download 11.2.0.3. The patch will allow them to use the 11gR2 OTN version and install it under Oracle Linux 6. It won't be certified, but it is good enough for the purpose of education.
    I'm closing the thread.

    To reinforce what was mentioned in the first response...
    There is no "urgent" in these forums and your statement that everyone must jump to your request just because you say so is rude.
    You have been a viewer of these user-to-user OTN forums for more than a year. That is far long enough to know better.
    For the future, whenever you have a critical business need for information, you will need to use your support credentials and log a SR ro Oracle Technical Support. Be prepared each time to prove to them that such a need exists.

  • Study material for Oracle 10g OCA certification

    Hi every one.
    My Name is Ash living in Edmonton Canada.
    Currently, I am trying to prepare to take the OCA exam. My study material is "OCA 10g Administration 1 Study Guide by Chip DaWes, Bob Bryta, Joseph C.Johnson, Mathew Welshan". I am not sure if this is the right study material. Could any body please give me a feed back, how I can prepare for the exam? Also I would to know if there a local oracle group in Edmonton vicinity

    Hello Ash,
    I am also enrolled in an OCA course in the beginning of June 08, and I have used that, the Oracle Database 10g : Administration Workshop 1, and purchased the pass4sure CD.
    I recommend against the pass4sure, only because the PDF's had some sort of security lock, and I was unable to open them, even though I legitimately purchased the product.
    Good luck!

  • Oracle 10g OCA/OCP - There is a one-way path?

    Hello.
    I' m planning to undergo the 1z0-042/1z0-043 exams.
    1)Following the suggested path I have to undergo FIRST one of the [1z0-007, 1z0-47,1z0-51] exams and THEN the 1z0-042 to obtain OCA.
    Is it possible in the other way? (FIRST 1z0-042 and THEN one of the [1z0-007, 1z0-47,1z0-51]
    2)In the same way,is it possible after OCA, FIRST get through the 1z0-043 exam and THEN follow and complete [One of the instructor-led online o in-class courses] and Complete the course submission form to obtain OCP?
    3)Is possible to undergo FIRST 1z0-042 THEN 1z0-043 and AFTER the 1z0-047 + follow and complete [One of the instructor-led online o in-class courses] and Complete the course submission form to obtain OCP?
    The components are the same.What differs is the order.

    Paolo FilippiGenerally you can do any exams/courses you like in whatever order you like (There are exceptions ... i think certain Jaa certifications have certain order pre-requisites ... usually arround written assignments).
    HOWEVER, you will not recieve any certifications until you meet all the pre-requisites for that certiication:
    Thus if you first pass 1z0-043 .... you will receive no certifications as you have not fulfilled all prerequsites for any certification.
    If you thn passed 1z0-042 .... you will still receive no certifications as you have still not fulfilled all pre-requsites for any certification.
    If you then attended an accreditted course satisifiying the 10 DBA OCP and then submitted and had it validated you will still receive no certifications as you have still not fulfilled all pre-requsites for any certification.
    If you then passed 1z0-047 would at that receive the following certifications close to simulataneously as you have fulfiled pre-requisites
    :: SQL OCE, 10g DBA OCA, 10g DBA OCP. (The 10g DBA OCA is sort of irrelevant at this point).
    Conversely Steve Zodiac:
    - Passed 1z0-047 and was awarded SQL OCE as he had fulfilled all pre-requisites
    - Passed 1z0-042 and was awarded 10g DBA OCA as he had fulfilled all pre-requisites
    -- Attended a course relevant to 10g DBA OCP and got it validated.
    - Passed 1z0-043 and was awarded 10g DBA OCA as he had fulfilled all pre-requisites
    :: The difference will Seve Zodiac is he got interim certification awards quicker.
    Incidently i recommend people study for 1z0-051 rather than taking 1z0-047 directly as the latter is mor difficult ( And specially if anyne has attempted to put the SQL exam last ;) )
    The exam order 1z0-051 - 1z0-042 and 1z0-043 should certainly be preferable for most people, but there are exceptions.

  • Certification for Oracle Reports 11.1.2 on RHEL 6

    Hello,
    We have Oracle Froms & Reports upgraded 11.1.2 running on RHEL 5. Our System Admins are planning to upgrade O/S to RHEL 6. We have checked the support matrix for Forms & Reports and it says 11.1.1.6 is certified to run on RHEL6 but not 11.1.2. We dont want to downgrade. So our System Admins are looking for an approximate estimation when Forms & Rports 11.1.2 will be certified for RHEL 6 so that they can make decision on upgrading O/S. Please let us know if you have any rough estimates.
    Thanks.

    I am not Product Management so I am not at liberty to discuss dates but it is planned with 11.1.2.1, which is planned this fall.
    Always refer to the certification guide and look for updates for that after 11.1.2.1 is released.
    When 11.1.2.1 is released it will be entered in the following support note
    Reference
    Steps to Maintain Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 2 (11.1.2) (Doc ID 1373061.1)
    For information about the certification guide please check the following link.

  • Certification for Oracle 9 RAC and GPFS 3.1

    Hi all,
    I have a banking application with necessarily has to use Oracle 9.2 RAC.
    ( The cerification on Oracle 10g RAC is in plan but it will take a lot ).
    At the moment we have to plan a porting on AIX 5.3 environment on a p5 system and the customer prefers to use JFS so GPFS has to be installed. The current version of GPFS is 3.1.
    I saw that Oracle 9 RAC is certified on AIX 5.3 and HACMP 5.3 on metalink but not for GPFS 3.1. ( It seems only for GPFS 2.3 )
    There are plans to certify this environment, AIX 5.3 + GPFS 3.1 + Oracle 9.2? And how long Oracle 9.2 will be supported?
    Thank you

    yes it will work.

    Will this work properly in a WLS6.1/Oracle 9.2 combination?sure. Just because we don't test every new driver with all old server versions,
    doesn't mean they won't work. We will always work with any jdbc driver
    from anywhere, as long as it is standard.

  • Oracle 11g OCA certification

    I am newbie .I would like to know a good book for Oracle 11g OCA certification ,1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052(with lesser number of mistakes).Appreciate a response.

    I can tell you from personal experience that it is extraordinarily difficult to write a technical book with zero defects. Spell-checkers and grammar checkers produce huge numbers of false positives when looking for standard (i.e. non technical) errors. Technical errors are easy to introduce -- forget to add a 'Not' in a sentence, or something similar -- and hard to detect afterward. When I read through my study guides looking for errors, I tend to see what I meant to write.
    That said, such defects are normally a tiny fraction of the information contained within certification manuals. A couple of reviews on the Oracle Press 1Z0-052 book written by John Watson mention a couple of errors and then imply the book is filled with more. I've read the book and it is very informative. It contains hundreds of pieces of information and contains about ten errors -- all mentioned in the errata on the McGraw Hill site. The books is good preparation for the text and for learning the basics of being an Oracle DBA.
    As Aman indicated, using more than one source is a good way to help to detect inaccuracies. I believe in always using multiple sources and the documentation is generally a good option for that.

Maybe you are looking for
