Certification Matrix shows 11g EE "projected" on Mac Intel also

On the Oracle Certification Matrix (http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/metalink/index.html)
Product "Database/Server"
Database Product " Ent. Edition"
Platform "Apple Mac Intel"
you get:
Certify - Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition Version 11gR1 On Apple MAC Intel
Operating System: Apple MAC Intel Version -
Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition Version 11gR1
N/A Version N/A
Status: Projected
Product Version Note:
None available for this product.
Certification Note:
STBA
What does it mean "STBA"?
Most other platforms (AIX, Solaris, Linux, HP/UX) have
"Status: Projected" also,
but they have as "Certification Note" a 4th Quarter 2007 acronym:
Q4CY2007
Oscar

It's now mid-2010 and we are still waiting ...
We use Pearson PowerSchool in our school district and just got this notice from them:
We’ve been anticipating an update from Oracle, which would allow us to deploy Oracle 11g on the Mac. The Windows version from Oracle has been available for nearly 2 years; however, there is still no published delivery date from Oracle for a Mac version.
Complicating matters, the current version of Oracle for the Mac is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.x Snow Leopard, which has been shipping since August 2009. New customers, and existing customers who want to upgrade their hardware, would find new Apple servers are incompatible with the current Oracle database. Oracle has not provided a date by which the current version of the Oracle Mac Database (10gR2) will be certified on Mac OS X 10.6.
Oracle’s diminishing commitment to the Apple platform has left Pearson with limited options for customers using Mac servers. We do not have a commitment from Oracle for future versions of the database supporting the Mac, and current versions of the Oracle database are incompatible with new hardware running Mac OS X 10.6.
Therefore, all Mac customers should make plans to replace their Mac database servers with a Windows-based database server (physical or virtual). Pearson will discontinue support for the Mac database server effective December 31, 2010.*
Should Oracle issue a version of 11g with Mac compatibility, we will evaluate support options for this platform again.
This is extremely bad news for us as we are a Macintosh district and don't have the resources to support Windows servers. Why is Oracle not supporting Mac OS X? Is there anyone we can complain to or is it just a hopeless cause?

  • Certification Matrix shows 10gR2 "projected" on Mac Intel

    On the Oracle Certification Matrix (http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/metalink/index.html)
    - Product "Database/Server"
    -- Database Product " Ent. Edition"
    --- Platform "Apple Mac Intel"
    you get now two records:
    - the first about 11gR1 (see my previous post, it still has certification "STBA")
    - the second about 10gR2
    Certify - Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition Version 10gR2 On Apple MAC Intel
    Operating System: Apple MAC Intel Version -
    Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition Version 10gR2
    N/A Version N/A

    Product Version Note:

    Certification Note:
    2H CY2008
    So it seems that somehow during 2008 ...
    What does it means exactly "2H CY2008"?
    Other platforms show acronims like "Q4CY2007", which is Quarter 4 Year 2007, I suppose.

  • 11g certification matrix

    What possible reason could there be for requiring an Oracle Support Identifier just to see the certification matrix for 11g?
    On this page
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/111060_linuxsoft.html
    there is a link to the certification matrix. Clicking that link takes me to https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/flash.html
    On that screen I have to log in with an ID that is associated with an Oracle Support Identifier number.
    Geeze Loueeze. I just want to see what platforms OS 11g can be installed on.

    Hello,
    You may also check the System requirement on the Installation guides.
    For instance, for Linux you'll find this:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e10840/pre_install.htm#CHDFFBIF
    All the installation guides are on the following link:

    Hope this help.

  • BPM 11g Certification Matrix

    Hi everyone!
    We are looking for the certification matrix from BPM 11g (in particular for non oracle middleware).
    We found the certification matrix from 10g ( [http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bpm/obpm_config_matrix.html] )
    Thanks in advance,
    Diego.

    Hi Diego,
    The certification for BPM 11g is the same as for SOA 11g. You'll find details here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_certification.html
    BPM 11g is not yet certified on non-Oracle app servers.

  • Oracle 11g Client Certification Matrix

    hi all,
    Can someone point me to Oracle 11g client certification matrix? I was trying to install it on Windows Server 2008R2, but looks like this platform is unsupported. If I manually verify the options the installer thinks are unsafe, will I create an unsupported environment?
    Please advise.
    Thanks in advance,
    Alla

    Which version of 11g ? 11gR1 is not certified with Win2008
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32306/toc.htm#BABEHGHH

  • 11G Database Certification Matrix

    Hi there,
    I'm looking for a certification matrix for oracle 11g database. I want to find out what OS's are supported by the different versions of 11g.

  • Certification Matrix

    Hi,
    We have 11.1.1.1.0v of OID implemented within Oracle. This was done by a separate team. They pointed me to OTN to gain access to the documentation for the version to gain access to the certification matrix. However I was not able to find related document on OTN for 11.1.1.1.0.
    We have 10g applications like Email / Calendar / Conference which are still in production use and wanted to validate the certification of this new version of OID against the 10g products.
    Appreciate if I can get some pointers on the above.
    Cheers

    Did you check the 11g documentation. Specially the "Common Scenarios and Tasks" section:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/core.1111/e12889/common.htm#CFFBCHJG
    And configuring SSO in Fusion Middleware:

  • CUSTOM ICC PROFILES DO NOT SHOW UP IN PSCS 6 MAC OS 10.8.4 BUT ARE OK IN CS5

    The only icc profiles that show up in CS 6 Mac OS 10.8.4 are the ones that are installed from the printer driver ( Epson 9900 ) Any other single or custom profiles  do not show up when placed Library/Colorsync/Profiles
    All profiles show up in CS 5, There has been a lot of discussion of this on many forums with no solution. I have also tried installing the profiles in the contents folder of the Epson printer in the main library folder with no luck. Please advise

    Mac OS 10.8.4 is still in beta. You need to be reporting this to Apple.
    What happens if you move these profiles to the Adobe/Profiles folder, or the users/Library/Colorsync/Profiles folder?
    There has been a lot of discussion of this on many forums with no solution.
    What forums? A google search turns up nothing but this thread.
    I have not seen this problem with the released versions of 10.8.

  • Premiere Elements 12 Windows project to Mac

    I started my project on Windows 7 with Premiere Elements 12. Now I want to work with the project on Mac with Premiere Elements 12 (the same version). Unfortunately I got the error "The project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements". I used Project Archiver which created a new folder with all files on an external disc. Mac opened it and Premiere started to load it but then threw the error.
    Would it be possible to open a project done on Windows with Mac? I really need this because I've done quite a lot work with the project but my Windows license is over and converted to Mac.

    TitusK
    The project file (project.prel) created in Premiere Elements Windows cannot be opened in Premiere Elements Mac. The reverse is also true.
    One possibility might be to export your Premiere Elements Windows Timeline to the appropriate .mov or .mp4 and then import that file
    into Premiere Elements Mac new project. But, from what you wrote about your present circumstances, this does not seem to be possible.
    This is the situation with Premiere Elements (any version).
    Be aware that there are several Windows Only features in Premiere Elements.
    Please do not hesitate to ask if any questions or need further clarification on anything written here.
    Thank you.

  • How do i show a movie from my mac to the television?

    how do i show a movie from my mac to the television?

    Hello there, kojak100.
    The following Knowledge Base article goes over how to sync content to your iPad:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
    This section may prove useful:
    USB syncing
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and click the device button in the upper right corner. (If you are viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.) Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcasts tab will not appear.
    You can configure the different content types in each tab. For example, movies under the Movies tab.
    To sync, click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

    Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?
    My new Macbook Pro 13 retina has 1TB flash drive. But despite my TimeMachine being in a TimeCapsule my Macintosh HD shows 277 Gb of space has Backups. What is this for? How can I delete it?

    OS X Lion and newer Mac OS X versions create local snapshots in portable Macs if Time Machine is enabled. See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html
    You don't have to worry about. They are stored in a kind of volume named "MobileBackups", but they appear as stored in your hard drive. To delete them, open System Preferences > Time Machine, and turn off Time Machine. Then, turn it on. However, you don't need to delete them, as they will be deleted when your hard drive gets full
