Certview, Pearson VUE and Sylvan Prometric Site and ID

Hi,
I got OCP certification in the past in Oracle8, Oracle9i and Oracle10g with Sylvan Prometric. One month ago I registered at certview Oracle site and Pearson VUE site, believing finding my history exams and certification Status. But it has not been so.
Then, i decided to log a SR, SR Number=23552675 asking for help and information about my issue, but till now i did not receive any answer.
I do not know why my OCP data are not present on certview site.
In the next future, i would like also take the Oracle11g upgrade exam and i do not know which ID i will have to use, Sylvan ID, Pearson VUE ID???
Any usefull help is appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Simone MartucciYou need to take all exams under the same Oracle Testing Id, otherwise it is as if you tokk the exams under different people.
Ideally this would have been sortd when you registered at Peason.

Auto loading of username and password are taking place on one site and only one site and I do not want this to happen but can"t get it to stop.

As my question states I don't want auto loading on any site and it only happens on this one site. I have went thru tools and options and there are no sites listed for auto loading. There are no saved passwords. If I go to the site using Internet explorer the problem does not occur.

Ok, no problem i found this help articles:

Route mail and Active Directory Sites and Services configuration

Folks,
I have a problem in the internal email routing. My network is spread across various regions and the branch offices are connected together in a mpls network (full mesh). Every region has its own Exchange Server with all roles installed and the smtp connection
to the outside world is linked to two Exchange servers in the headquarter server farm.
The problem is that internally I often see emails going across the Exchange Servers in the branch offices where there is low bandwidth (from 3 to 5 Mbps), thus email are sent first to these servers instead of going immediately to the Exchange hosting
the mailboxes of the intended recipients. This happens also with inbound emails.
This causes slowness in the email system and sometimes also the network with these branch offices suffers from packet loss or very high latency.
I know that Exchange is a site-aware application and uses the Active Directory topology for message routing and to communicate with the services that are running on other Exchange 2013 computers. For this reason I have checked the Active Directory Sites
and Services and surprisingly I have found that there are no sites, no subnets, nothing has been defined but the default settings, included the Inter-Sites transport which contains the default DEFAULTIPSITELINK.
Apart from the fact that clients use logon servers which are not supposed to use in the far remote offices, I am concerned of changing the Exchange Infrastructure whilst the email system is running and I would like to ask your opinion about my next steps:
1) Create subnets for every office
2) Create sites and then link them to the subnets done in point 1
3) Delete the DEFAULTIPSITELINK and create new site links based on the costs (network speed) in order to determine the best routing server. I have 5 remote offices with 5 different network bandwidth, so I'll have to create 5 IP site links: high cost for
link with slow network, low cost for fast network.
4) (Optional) Configure the Exchange-specific cost using the Set-AdSiteLink cmdlet to the AD IP site links created previously
Apart from the valid questions on why the previous Exchange Administrator have forgotten to set up the Active Directory (Topology) Sites and Services...
...And why have chosen to install all Exchange Roles to each server when there was no reason to do that (there are two servers connected to the external smtp gateways in the headquarter, so in my opinion the Exchange Servers in the remote branch offices
should have had only the mailbox and the cas role)...
As a matter of fact, my idea is to go further and create the sites,subnets and the ip site link. If I still notice a wrong email flow, I can configure an ad-hoc Exchange-specific cost using the Set-AdSiteLink cmdlet. Does this sound reasonable to you guys
or I am taking the wrong decisions?
Thanks

Thank you very much for your link. This is exactly the page I have read just before posting my question here. It is not easy for me to understand why this has been setup this way by a Microsoft certified engineer.
There are specific rules to follow when Active Directory and Exchange are located in multiple sites and I am not a skilled Exchange Administrator... he keeps saying that it is correct and also tells that if I go forward with my ideas there is the
risk to increase the level of complexity. I prefer more complexity than default setting, and as a consequence of that, connectivity problems!
Hopefully everything goes well. I will post my results here once I have done the changes

Firefox continually hangs even after trying the solutions listed here, and in other sites, and I can't find any common link to pinpoint what is causing it.

I love Firefox but I may have no choice but to try Chrome instead. Over the past couple of weeks the version of Firefox I have installed on my Lenovo Edge 15 latop (which is the most current version of Firefoxc), hangs several times an hour, for approx a minute each time. I have tried to locate the cause of the problem by eliminating the websites I commonly visit, but it seems that it does not matter what website I visit, it continues to happen. I have even tried loading Firefox in safe mode and it still makes no difference. And this problem is only affecting Firefox, and none of my other programs are affected. I have used resource monitor to try and locate the problem and, when this problem occurs, Firefox is reported as taking up 25% of CPU consumption. I am using Windows 7.

I have a Mac and have tried the suggestion above with the places.sqlite but it DID NOT HELP! FIREFOX IS STILL HANGING!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been a real fan of firefox for several years, but lately it's just plain annoying!!! I have to force quit FF several times a day. I THINK I'M GOING TO SWITCH TO SAFARI until you guys get your act together soon :(

HT201412 My iPad 1 crashes every time I open a game app, and for some sites and blogs such as Facebook or Awesomer. What's wrong with it?

Hi, my iPad 1 can barely open a game for more than a couple of minutes without crashing and going back to the home screen.
I've had it for about 2 years but it has been happening for about a year, and now it's annoying me more than ever.
It happens on some sites like facebook and sites with lots of videos like Awesomer or Vimeo.
I though that when I update the os to iOS 5, that would fix it and while it did get better for a while, it just got worse again.
I even reset the machine, and restored it from iTunes but nothing's made any improvement.
Could anybody help me?

1. Double-click the Home button to close all Inactive Apps in Task Bar
2. Hold the Apps in Task Bar down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close Apps
4. Tap center of screen to return to Home Screen
5. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

This Connection is Untrusted...I accidently put in the wrong login info and a specific site and now I am blocked from it, how do I unblock this.

After trying to login to a specific website three times, Firefox has now blocked me from this site. "This Connection is Untrusted" I have used this site for many years and need to be able to access it.

Rename or delete the file cert_override.txt (cert_override.txt.old) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] to remove all permanent exceptions that you have saved.

Merging Prometric and Pearson VUE data in CertView?

Background: I passed one exam (SQL) for my OCA under Prometric last month, signed up for Pearson VUE last week, and passed the second exam (Fundamentals I) just today through Pearson. I should thus qualify for OCA.
I attempted to sign up for CertView using my Pearson ID (OCxxxxxx), but it was not accepted. On my third try, I switched to my Prometric ID (PRxxxxxx), and signing up was successful. I can now see my SQL exam there, but my "Oracle Certification Program ID" is the Prometric code, not OCxxxxxx, and there is no sign of the Fundamentals test.
So my question is: will this magically resolve itself if I wait the 7-10 days promised for Pearson data to migrate over, or do I need to pester somebody to manually merge the two accounts together?
Cheers,
-j.

Huh? As I already said, I entered my Prometric code when signing up for Pearson. I suspect as mentioned before you did not use the form correctly .... but I have an extremely strong suspicion that the dialogue sequence makes this very easy to happen.
I would hope that Oracle/Pearson VUE take that on board and takes steps to correct and find ways of reducing this happen as it is costly to correct when it does.
If Pearson goes ahead and assigns me a new ID anyway, I have no choice but to use that ID, now do I?You have a choice of not scheduling an exam until that is resolved. That may be unacceptably painful choice for some people in some circumstances. But it is probably less pain than resolving the situation later.
And you telling me to be "grateful" about Oracle's grandmotherly kindness in permitting me to waste hours groveling to support and twiddle my fingers for weeks on end while they pass the buck before they fix their own mistakes is pretty darn rich.Duplicate Oracle Testing Id's (or Prometric Id's) as they used to be have been a problem for some time [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2008/09/]. There was a real push to get people to get this resolved before moving to Pearson VUE [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=312#1] (My Account - I discovered that I have duplicate Prometric records. How can I get these merged?). While your case has arisen accidenly there appears to be some indications from the OCP Team is appeared to them people were recklessly obtaining mulitple Testing Id's and then complaining about not receiving a certificate. In fact I am almost certain I recall a comment that exams taken under different Id's was the single biggest cause of missing certficates. I suspect many people were simply losing there original Prometric Registrations, and rather than recovering them simply taking creating a new registration and taking an exam on a new Id and then effectively having go through the merge process with support effort needed by Oracle and Prometric. One could understand considering if a charge would reduce this group. I suspect others unwittingly acquired a duplicate Prometric Id. by for instance an online exam.
With the recent issue of Certview it may arguably be easier for people to realise there is an issue here, especially if Oracle changed procedures urging people registering with Person VUe who have exisiting exams to check their Oracle Testing Id is consistent. However this would not have been possilbe for you.
Please remember the Certification forum Moderator, who also happens to be the Certification Programme Manager, may take your comments in a different light, though over the course of a few months I do believe they genuinely do try to help people (and yes I think they tear their hair out sometimes at their own systems!).

Remote Site with its own CUCM Sub#2 and Router network failed and the site didnt keep its phones active, need some assistance

I have a Pub and 2 Sub's. Sub #1 is with the Pub, at the main site it is our TFTP server, Sub #2 is at a remote site with about 100 users along with a router and 2 PRI's for outbound calls. We had a network failure between the main site and the remote site and all phone lost their registration with the system until we were able to get the network back up. Currently the network is up in a crippled state on a 1 T-1 link while we troubleshoot the bigger issue with our 6mb pipe, however Sub #2 and its associated router arent talking with the PUB or other Sub. I'm still getting alerts every 30 minutes stating they are the server is down. I'm sure once the network is corrected this will bring everything back on line. My question is how can I prevent in this in the future. I need this site to be stand alone if the network goes down again. I was told by our vendor that if we had a subscriber at each site then we would need SRST licensing. I know something needs to be configured to make it all work, I'm just not sure what.

I already have a group at the site but it includes both the Pub and Sub from the main site as well as the Sub from the remote site. I would only have to remove the Sub from the main site, problem is I currently only have 1 TFTP server it runs on SUB #1, should I make SUB#2 a TFTP server as well and the phones are setup for DHCP at the main site, I'm going to need to have a DHCP server setup at the remote site as well. Correct?

E-commerce site and security

I am likely to begin working on a large e-commerce site soon and would like to get everything straight before I begin.
I have a reseller account on a virtual dedicated server at the hosting provider everyone loves to hate. Generally my modus operandi is to create a folder and point a subdomain to that folder so the client can see the site. Unless there are serious security issues or the need for a huge amount of server space, I leave the site in that folder and point to domain name to it when it is completed.
Does an e-commerce site need to be on a dedicated server as a matter of prinicple? If I use Cartweaver or VirtueMart and a payment gateway such as Paypal or Authorize.net, does it matter if the site is on a dedicated server behind SSL? Or can I simply leave it on my hosting account and put the Paypal Verified graphic on the site?
Or could I create a new virtual dedicated reseller account just for e-commerce sites? Or would an economy account suffice?
The issue of testing in one account and then moving to another is one I don't like. Do you have a way of testing and cloning the site?

Hello Peavo,
A shared host is fine for e-commerce... But let me qualify this by adding - a shared host that KNOWS e-commerce and how to help you attain PCI certification, and - this is really an important one - offers very good, quick, support! If your revenue generating site is down you want help NOW, not a "call back" or an email a day or two from now. I echo the statement that you should avoid GoDaddy, more like run screaming in the other direction. They, and many cheap, super high volume hosts, are fine for run of the mill HTML sites or even the occasional WordPress blog, but for the complexities of and security required by an e-commerce site they are woefully inadequate.
All that being said, there are literally thousands of Cartweaver , and other e-commerce sites happily motoring along on quality shared hosts. So with some caution and having your homework done, there's no worries there. I can recommend GoWestHosing.com - very good smaller host that specializes in dynamic and e-commerce sites and knows all the ins and outs of PCI compliance.
If you expect to have an extremely high volume site, then looking into a VPS is not a bad idea, but truthfully, for most average shopping cart sites a quality shared hosting account will do, and cost significantly less. You could start out with a hosted account, then always migrate to a VPS if need be.
Here's a blog post about PCI that you may find helpful.

Current issues with Pearson VUE Exams delivery

I believe new Pearson VUE software has been issued and some testing stations have been unable to delivery Oracle Exam.
I have been today been to 2 different testing centers to take 1z0-047.
Neiither was able to deliver the exam.
Some issues may be the testing centers have not been unambiguously informed of the effects of new software.
It fact this is 3 times in a row I have now been to a Pearson VUE testing center to taken an exam currently under the stewardship of Oracle (the first wasn't at the time) and on no occsaion was int delivered!!!
If there is a widespread Pearson VUE issue out there I hope it gets sorted soonest.
Meanwhile there goes a wasted morning plus more wasted time if I choose to revise for and take actually take this exam.
just having a rant - bigdelboy.

I have received information from the second test center indicating they were unable to deliver the oracle exam as they did not have latest Pearson VUE software loaded (and this required an amount of time and could not be scheduled today).
In fairness to this test center i was booked with them at short notice following the failure of the first test center to deliver the exam and they proably did not have time to fully check the requirements. (In fact top dollar for accomodating me). In fact as I was limbering up outside before entering I did a risk assessment as to what could go wrong and there was some danger of a stray golf ball from the golf course crashing into the test center room. Anyway they have been as nice as possilble and even gave me a decent badwith their logo on (I debated about sticking it over my head and jumping into fareham creek with it on), but then remembered my car was low on petrol (gas), in fact running on vapourand needed to go back to North harbour do refuel.
The orginal test center may have had a firewall issue; however their notwork engineer was at North harbourand they could not sort, so their problem may be different. The college's new testing room seemed nice. It's the second time the've failed to deliver an exam to me, perhaps its a bit too close to Portsea island for me and jinxed. They will go on red alert if i go anywhere near them again! (They are actuall very friendly with good banter, but professional as well, and i like testing there as its a positive atmosphere for me).
Anyway i am rambling like a heifer ...
More seriously can Oracle please ensure Pearson VUE has procedures in place to ensure that when an Oracle exam is booked at a testing center the center has the correct software to do so; and to flag if there is risk of an issue
While it is probably easy for Pearson VUE to blame the test center it is actually Pearson's issue not to have automated systems in place to identify when this may be an issue. I may be being unfair here as perhas this was checked at start of day but not identified as the second test was booked hastily.

Movement to Pearson VUE and certview from Prometric and Certmanager

This isnt so much a question as a comment ....
But I'm sometimes happy to award points.
(FYI I normally answers questions on {forum:id=459} ... and I might not revist here for a bit )
Oracle are (have?) moving to using the Pearson VUE testing vendor and using Certview rather than Cert manager as the certification reporting database:

Interval between Pearson VUE registration and CertView Registration

Refering to [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=316] and [https://education.oracle.com/pls/eval-eddap-dcd/ocp_interface.home] seem to indicate a lag of up to 7-10 days for information to migrate from Pearson VUE to be accessible for Certview.
As an implication for this I have counselled it may be correct to wait for up to 7/10 days after successful Pearson VUE registration for Oracle before attempting to register for Certview?
Is this delay in fact necessary or is it over-cautious ?

It will take approximately 7-10 days for data to be transferred from Pearson VUE to CertView. We hope to bring this down in the future, but currently, you should allow 7-10 days.
However, if a candidate has previously taken exams at Prometric, they can go ahead and authorize in CertView - even if they have just set up their Pearson VUE web account. However, since it will take 7-10 days for the Pearson VUE info to be reflected in CertView, they should authorize in CertView with their profile information from Prometric. If a candidate updates information at Pearson VUE, and does not authorize with CertView for 7 days, it is best to be cautious and go ahead and wait the 10 days. At this point, the information in CertView may be old or may be new, so better to wait and know that the info has been updated.
Alternatively, if a candidate has difficulty with CertView authorization and enters erroneous information 3 times, the account will be referred to our service team who will process the authorization manually and should have it sorted out in about 3 working days.

Java Certification Exams and Their Move to Pearson VUE

You may be aware that Oracle recently migrated all Sun-branded certification exams from Prometric to Pearson VUE. Here are answers to some frequently-asked questions that we've been getting recently: http://bit.ly/ORC-0596

I have the same issue, I purchased 3 exam packs from Prometric, when the new year started I was ok let's get to work, tired to schedule my first test, 70-247 I could not schedule no more, PearsonVue informed me that these vouchers are invalid for 3 tests
only for one, I went back and forth between Prometric, PearsonVue & Microsoft, Microsoft decided to take over case, but it has been since the end of the year and now we are in Feb. 2015 issue is still not resolved is it soooo hard to look at past records
and just issue single vouchers for the tests I purchased, do not know I will call them again this week, if it is not resolved I guess I will try Social Media or just cave in and ask for a refund, in which I do not want to I have worked hard studied hard, but
calling and going back and forth without no resolution is just a total was of time, I am not made of money at all.........

Pearson Vue and Second Shots

You may know that MicroSoft is having a Second Shot offer from Jan 5 - May 2015. I paid for an exam covered by this program on Jan 5. I failed it on Jan 12, not by a lot but enough to fail. My Second Shot is not showing up in microsoft.com\learning like
it should. Some of the people at Pearson Vue don't even know what a Second Shot is.
Any suggestions folks? Is there someone at MS that I report this to?
