Certification Path

recent grad looking for advice on a certification path. There are a number of different paths for Oracle Cerification; based off anyone's professional knowledge or market observations, what would be a good technology to be certified in? My aim is to be geared up for a career in BI.
any suggestions on the best one for today's market?

hi,
anyway, the OCP on the Oracle Database (10g) should be a fundamental Certification on a Oracle Expert - also for BI, because BI needs a perfomant Database and the BI Developer should be know how to handle the Database.
Additional you should take a look on the Certification for the Applicationserver, because its the next step of the BI frontend-discoverer and a lot more things.
Greetings

I am getting the ssl error when trying to use launchpad on ssl, i can access adminui through ssl with no errors but launchpad says "unable to find valid certification path to requested target"

Hi I desperately need help to fix this error. I installed Adobe LCES4 with ssl enabled and i can access the adminui and workspace on the browser but he problem is when i try connecting to launchpad using https on the server even doing the simple thing like converting document to pdf throws the following error.
any help will be appreciated

We tried adding certificate in trustore.jks file, but it was not successful.
What error you are getting while importing the certificate?
Just perform below steps once:
Download required certificate first
Run CMD as administrator> move to SUP_HOME\Servers\UnwiredServer\Repository\Security
Paste this syntex.
keytool -importcert -alias customerCA -file <certificatefilename>.crt -storepass changeit -keystore truststore.jks -trustcacerts

Reading https: certification path

Sorry for crossposting but in the other thread I've got no answer for weeks.
While reading from a https site I get the a ValidatorException "PKIX path building failed:" caused by ValidatorException "unable to find valid certification path to requested target". I've found a lot of threads on this subject with a lot of questions but no answer. There's no problem with the certificate, each of my 3 browsers can access the site. I suppose the browsers acquires public keys from the internet while URLConnection.getInputStream() does not, but why?
Can I make it work generally so I can access any https-site from java just like my browsers can?
Can I make java ignore the absence of valid cartification path (of course, there is a risk, but in this case I do not care).
Can What else can I do? Download certificates and give it to java somehow?

I think a cert has expired and a newer version is used now. My code didn't change. I better should not post the chain, but I'd like to send it to you per email. I haven't found your address, mine is [email protected] (pls write "https" or something like that in the subject as I'm getting quite a lot of spam and I'm good in quick deleting).

What JDeveloper certification paths are available?

Hi everyone,
What JDeveloper certification paths are available? Admittedly, I am a total newbie, but based on my prior experience, certifications are a great way to accelerate toward expertise. Currently, I am studying Java and JDeveloper as a way to retool my technical skill set. Having been certified Oracle Forms 9i, 9i, and 6, I can say that I understood some of the more obscure functionality as a result of completing a certification.
We have both R12 and 11i instances where I work, so if there is a path that is well suited for R12, I would certainly be interested.
As for my background, I am a techno-functional consultant that has an extensive background in Oracle BOM, MFG, and WIP, and my experience dates back to 10.7 NCA. As for my current position, I am the time and expense lead.
With that in mind, any suggestions that you have would be appreciated.
Thanks.
James

Hi Shay,
Thanks for the information. ADF and OAF differences and where they are used are understood. That said, we are using JDeveloper to create applications for our EBS environment. With OAF and EBS, the TEMPLATE.fmb and particular libraries were the starting point. ADF does not seem to have such restrictions, but since I am new to this arena, I wanted to be sure.
The link that you mentioned is where I got the following study guide link: http://www.oracle.com/partners/en/knowledge-zone/middleware/1z0-554-exam-study-guide-322495.pdf. But, I am a little surprised at a single exam; there four my prior certification. Do you have any recommendations for a JDeveloper book that covers all of these topics?

Unable to find valid certification path after an upgrade from 11.1.1.6 to 11.1.1.7

Hi,
I had a small composite deployed in 11.1.1.6 and after an upgrade to 11.1.1.7 I am getting
javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException:
PKIX path building failed:
sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
Does it mean that my soa composite now cannot validate the certificate of the server it is trying to connect to?
Can somebody share thoughts on how to fix it?
Thank you,
Anatoliy

Hi Robert,
Thank you much for the quick response. Not having big knowledge under my belt in this area I tried
1. Changed the keystore passphrase under my managed weblogic domain for the Demo Identity Keystore
2. ./keytool -importcert -alias avsclient -keystore /dnat8o/fmw/jrockit-jdk1.6.0_29-R28.2.2-4.1.0/jre/lib/security/cacerts -file client_cer.cer
Was prompted with the password but entering what I did enter in step 1 didn't help. Do I have to bounce the managed server once I change the passphrase, if what I a mdoing makes sense at all, not sure
Thank you,
Anatoliy

Need help with SSL custom trustKeystore, invalid certification path

Hi,
We have a webservice installed on a server over https protocol, and the following certification chain:
Internal Root CA Certificate
         |
         +-----> Certificate X
                         |
                         +----> Cerificate YCertificate Y has Common Name (CN) equals to the hostname where this webservice is deployed.
On the client side, since the root CA certificate is internal, we had to install a custom trust keystore, and use the -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/path/to/trust.keystore system property. Inside that trust keystore we imported the Internal Root CA certificate.
When the client invoke the webservice, it still gives SSL handhsake exception, saying couldn't find certification path. However when we imported Certificate Y into the trust keystore, it works. Is there any way to make the handshake work just by trusting the root CA?
The client runs in a JBoss container, and we tried -Dorg.jboss.security.ignoreHttpsHost=true but didn't help

Please find more detail on exception stack below. Sorry I have to truncate the stack to avoid showing our internal class names

Basis Certification path Fee structure

Dear Certi.
Can u tell me Sap Basis Certification Path and Document availability for expirenced guy.
Thnx in advance
Surendra

Hi Surendra,
You might want to check the [SAP Education technology certification page|http://www.sap.com/services/education/certification/index.epx], and select 'SAP NetWeaver' + 'Technology' + 'Technology Consultant' to retrieve the list of SAP certifications.
You can then pick your specific area of expertise (i.e. Basis, database vendor).
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,

Certification path for 10g

I had a doubt of which certification path to take for certification for 10g. From the Oracle site
(http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=140), it shows in the category of 'Middleware' but I feel 10g AS should be in the category of 'Applications'.
So,
a) Oracle Application Server 10g Administrator: Certified Associate
b) Oracle Application Server 10g Administrator: Certified Professional
shown in the category of 'Middleware' should be the one to be taken by me?
I hope, my question is clear.
Please, help in solving the doubt.
regards

b) Oracle Application Server 10g Administrator: Certified Professional
This certificate can only be achieved after the OCA has been achieved
... and unless you are already a database administrator OCP you will need to have done a recognised course.

I hope, my question is clear.
The quuestion is clear, and the answer is you must do the 1z0-311 exam first.

OCA Certification Path

Hi friends,
I want to ask . Can i take in advance Oracle Administration I (1z0-052),then Oracle 11g Sql Fundamentals (1z0-051), i mean is there any difference of sequence?

marcopb wrote:
According to this link
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=458&get_params=p_track_id:Datab11g
you cannot.
On the link show it says:
Please Note: This is the suggested progression of the certification path. However, steps do not have to be completed in the order shown.
so that page indicates the exams can be taken in any order; but a certification will not be awarded until all the pre-requisites are met.
http://certification.oracle.com - support - faq ... I think has an authorative answer (from memory) ... but the site is currently down as I post.
However do be confident you can take the exams in any order .... however do be aware 1z0-051 then 1z0-052 should normally be the preferred order.

Next certification path/career progression.

Hi,
I am software developer with 3 years of exp (plsql developer 2 yrs and j2ee 1 year), I have completed OCA-developer track(plsql). I also have little experience on DBA side.
I had posted a year back asking which track should I opt for(developer/dba) and which version(10g/11g).
Now when I am OCA, I have further few questions. I am not sure about the market value of OCP - developer track.
Would it be really valuable becoming OCP for plsql developer track?
I am out of job currently. So I am not aiming at enhancing my current work skils(as I am out of work).
But I am aiming towards the certification which would improve my resume worth equally balanced by my work experience.
So OCP-developer should be ideal for me or OCA-DBA?
As I plan to give SCWCD too , to boost my j2ee exp, so that I can apply for both plsql devloper/j2ee developer openings,
I afford to choose only one oracle exam as of now.
Also, which oracle technology/product is hot cake right now in market? What would be my ideal career progression?
PLSQL developer and OCA/OCP(3 years of exp) ---> ???
What is OBIEE? what is the starting point of that field if I wish to enter into it?
Reply and help would be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks

Advice me regarding the certification path for 10g database certification.

Hello friends,
I am planning to take the certification for Oracle 10g database Associate, and am confused about the codes of the tests I need to take.
I have following queries:-
1) Is it enough to take 1Z0-042, to take Oracle Certified Associate, certification?
2) Is it necessary to take 1Z0-047 as a support for this certification?
3) Would I be considered for job openings if I get certified? (I mean the frequency of jobs). I know it is hard to answer this question, however I want an idea of applying for certified related jobs that accept OCA.
Please advice me in this regard.
Thanks in advance
Murli

Please post any other certification-related questions in the forum: Oracle Certification Program
To become OCA you need to do the 1z0-042 exam and one of the following exams: 1z0-007, 1z0-051, 1z0-047.
Becoming certified will put you in front of many people, but what employers are mostly looking for is experience. Many companies require a certification for the person to be even eligible for the interview, others use it as a differential.
