Come on, Oracle, where's the quality?
It's getting really bad and EBS is by no means the sole culprit, although it's definitely a prime example of why people complain about poor-quality product coming from Oracle. Maybe a couple examples are in order:
Sloppy: The reference EBS implementation has no fewer than three complete copies of the JDK. By complete, I mean they include garbage like tutorials on how to make Sierpenski triangles, how to manipulate audio files, etc. Demo files have no business in a production software release and the fact that they're repeated several times over just shows that nobody at Oracle cares about doing the job correctly.
Sloppy: Patch numbers are now how many digits long? And they're incremented how? Exactly.
Regressions: The current version of the database engine breaks ASM due to a new bug where a file isn't closed properly. Not an EBS issue but still, if Oracle is carelessly breaking its core product that's really discouraging and doesn't promise much hope to people working in the apps side.
Really, I could go on and on but anyone who works with Oracle software knows exactly what I'm talking about and probably has many specific details they could add in. I'm being a bit vague deliberately as one never knows what crosses the NDA line until the white-shoe guys say it already happened.
The point is, Oracle has a HUGE quality problem and knows it and does nothing, and that really needs to change.
I agree with you fully. It has become nothing other than nightmare.
To add a few pain areas.
[1] Create Accounting - Nightmare - Absolute worst nightmare for OPM Folks.
[2] No FND Design for SLA - Yeah it might feel like what ! But go check out the etrm and there is no FND Design or table descriptions.
[3] Huge issues with SLA Data structure.
[4] Receiving transaction processorr - It is so BS. So many errors and have spoken to so many developers. It has become unmanageable.
Bottomline if you are on OPM, and are on 11.5.10.2 dont even think of moving to R12.
I can go on and on...

Where did the quality of Firefox go ?
I have been using firefox since it came out. Right after Netscape in fact. It had just about always been a light weight browser. Fast and it worked. Very few glitches. But over the past few versions, the quality has gone down hill. Why ? Whom ever is in charge of it, has lost focus. Please solve the glitches. There are graphical glitches as well as download glitches. Actually there are a lot of glitches that are even memory related. And I have read post after post, with not one of these problems getting fixed. I have even posted questions, and I get the same exact response every time "please reset in safe mode" ... "shut your anti-virus off" ... and one time I even got the response "get chrome, its better". Seriously ? has firefox gotten this bad that we all have to resort to chrome ? I can't stand chrome. But if one were to sit back and look at firefox, its JUST LIKE CHROME ! I don't not like the looks of or the direction of Firefox because its like the developers prefer chrome. ???? #$%#$%?#$?%#?$%
I know about forcing us firefox users to have to CHANGE our settings to go back to the old style, but with each new update, it resets and you just get tired of doing that. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TOO ! I loved firefox the way it WAS. But now with all this bloated crap that is getting installed into Firefox lately, its no longer viable as a good choice between the major browsers. It's pathetic that i am being forced to have to go to chrome because it can handle more then 2 tabs open without falling apart. I'm very disappointed in Mozollia team. It's like they don't care anymore. The Quality is gone.
I know I am ranting here, but dang it, I have been waiting for even half these bugs to get fixed for the past 8 version updates. All I am seeing is more "features" and not enough fixes. The graphical tab glitches, the lock ups, all because of something gone wrong with these past updates. I have even seen people complain about it in the forums here. Like I said, even I posted a problem about the failed downloads. And people tried the usual responses. but apparently no one has a clue whats really going on with firefox because its become too bloated. I said it once and I'll repeat it.. The Quality in Firefox is gone.
If I get banned or this post gets censored, it just goes to show whats been happening to firefox lately.''jscher2000 [[#answer-722009|said]]''
<blockquote>
What are the graphical glitches? The most common cause of pixels ending up having the wrong content is an incompatibility with your graphics card/chipset driver software. As newer versions of Firefox turn on new graphical features, these keep cropping up because the beta test program doesn't represent the full diversity of systems used by Firefox users. I don't see any solution to that, but we deal with this all the time, so let us know/see your symptoms and then we can make suggestions.</blockquote>
I am using latest Graphics drivers from NVidia. I have the GTX 680 with 2 Gigs ram. My friend has the AMD R9 ( I don't recall which one ) and he has the same problem. This problem has existed for the past several updates. Also, I am not using anything beta, I am using the releases that are from firefox only. If they send me an update I update because usually updates are about security. Which I am for that and its something I respect about firefox in general.
An example of the graphical glitch is when you open a tab, the graphics won't update to let you see the new tab. I have my settings set that if I open a new tab it will automatically switch to the other newly opened tab. I see the new tab open, and I can see that it is the newly current shown tab. But the "info" inside that tab does not update. Sometimes the tab itself messes up and it won't completely draw itself. This is the graphical glitches I see. This happens even if I have no plugins loaded. I have spent the last several versions trying to solve this. Updating drivers.. etc etc. It all boils down to firefox.
<blockquote>
Can you describe what you're running into more specifically? </blockquote>
I have an desktop toolbar that tells me what memory usage is. Firefox has a tendency to raise the memory to the max 20 gigs I have on my computer. ( Yes I have 20 gigs System ram on this Quad Xeon computer system ) Keep in mind, it does this randomly, and at random websites. This is not a constant occurrence and difficult to reproduce. However, after a lot of observation, I am starting to believe it has to do with websites that have flash installed and I do not have flash installed. I do not like flash. I use HTML5 if the website offers it. Which most of the time it does. I watch a lot of youtube videos. Come to think of it, it is possible that videos are the issue here and the HTML5 side of it is the problem. I love HTML5, don't get me wrong, but in Firefox it may not be completely working yet.
This is my thinking at least, I could be completely off here on this.
<blockquote>
Firefox should not reset its UI after updates. Only extensions incompatible with a new version should be disabled, and their configuration data should be preserved so that you can update the extension and be back where you were. If you are losing settings after an update, it's possible that the "Refresh" feature is running. Have you noticed a new or growing "Old Firefox Data" folder on your desktop?
</blockquote>
Yea, for the past several updates, it keeps resetting everything when I run an update. So I am forced to "fix" it back and I had given up after this latest update. I am just using the default because I see no point anymore. Too old and tired to fight this. Whatever happened to simplicity like back in the 70s and 80s when stuff just ran and it worked. Netscape was my fave in the late 90s and then when firefox came out I fell in love again. Now.. I'm loosing my love... It's why I posted this message, I am frustrated and I am ranting in the hopes that someone gets the hint to please please please, don't loose the quality that firefox was known for. -

Where is the documentation for fading in and fading out
several pictures?
How do you expect a beginner to learn anything with this
flash and no howto's to do something simple?F1 (help) and type in Motion Tween or Animation in search
field - you need to learn how to convert
things to symbols and create keyframes and then apply a
motion tween with 0% alpha.
it is very easy and basic once you know how.
1. import image to stage - select it and hit F8 (convert to
symbol) - select "graphic or Movie clip
for type of symbol.
2. Further down the timeline click on a frame and hit F6
(create keyframe).
3. go back to frame 1 and click once on the symbol (your
bitmap on stage).
4. in the Properties Panel adjust the alpha to 0% using the
slider.
5. Select any frame in between these 2 keyframes and in
Properties panel select Motion Tween from
the Tween drop down.
This is just 1 way of doing this - in flash, there are always
several ways of doing this depending
on your needs - you can use action script to control this
effect dynamically as well. Google around
for tutorials - www.kirupa.com has a lot of good ones.
www.gotoandlearn.com is another great
resource. This forum is a great resource - it is how i
learned early on and continue to learn. Flash
takes time - it is not for the consumer-level dabbler when it
comes to graphics and animations. it
has become more or less a development platform.
Hang in there - someday it will *click*.

How to install a new oracle 9i in the same server where a 8i is installed
Hello and sorry for been an inexperience dba.
Now I need to install 9i oracle version in the same server (solaris os-5.9) where is previously installed a 8i. I'm reading the installation guide and I know that I have to make two different oracle home, and then two different owners .
My problem is when I've seen the kernel parameters and their permissions and of course all of them have the owner the old oracle user.
Do you know if I have to change some of this parameters?
How to do that, and where can I find some guide to follow ?
thanks in advanceand then two different owners .Not necessarily, you can use the same OS user, of course on a different Oracle Home.
where can I find some guide to follow ?http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/A96167_01/pre.htm#sthref106

Where should one install Oracle Database and the Grid Infrastructure in order to adhere to OFA?
I've downloaded the two zipped install folders for Oracle Database, and the two zipped install folders for the Grid Infrastructure. The book I'm following for installation says to use one directory for the database, and one directory for the Grid Infrastructure, but it doesn't explain where they should be located in OFA. Presumably they should both end up somewhere in the same Oracle Base (since everything Oracle related on a single file system should go in the same base, according to my understanding), but it isn't clear where they should be installed in relation to each other. For example, is the Grid Infrastructure a separate product that gets its own Oracle Home? Can anyone shed light on this process?
Also, does it matter to which location the zipped files are unzipped? For example, are any of these files used after the installation process, or does OFA only care about post-installation location?I think this links may be helpful -- ORACLE-BASE - Oracle Database 11g Release 2 RAC On Oracle Linux 5.8 Using VirtualBox, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/hunter-rac11gr2-iscsi-088677.html.
OFA -- Optimal Flexible Architecture standard. The standard is a set of configuration guidelines created to ensure well organized Oracle installations that are easier to maintain (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32002/app_ofa.htm#LADBI440).
It relates to location of the grid and dbms files location. Actually you should specify base directory and follow installer. System will be installed in correct directories.
It does not matter where you will unzip your distributives. You may delete them after installation to free space. -

Edited by: Avi Miller on Apr 17, 2013 3:30 PM to remove download links.The installation guide available at https://linux.oracle.com/documentation/ may require some updating. Last time I checked, chapter 16.16.5. Recommended Partitioning Scheme, did not include the swap space required for hibernation mode.
It is mentioned here:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/s2-diskpartrecommend-x86.html
Swap space size recommendations issued for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0, 6.1, and 6.2 differed from the current recommendations, which were first issued with the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 in June 2012 and did not account for hibernation space. -
I have just dowloaded iTunes new version 10.4 (on Windows), and I can't paste any artwork from Word anymore, only directly from the net (where the size or the quality of the images is not always optimal). Major problem given that I'm in the process of re-ripping some 40K+ songs in Lossless format... Any way around this?
Peter Hah
After spending another two days on pinning down the iTunes 10.5 blank store page problem, here's the solution to be found: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3372617?start=0&tstart=0
Look out for "japiohelp".
In short:
a) press Windows key + "R", enter "cmd", and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter (= runs as admin)
b) enter "netsh winsock reset" and pres enter
c) reboot the computer

Edited by: 941743 on 04.02.2013 15:33I am afraid there is no easy and direct way to pull the answer from the data dictionary.
But with some work, you can get to the bottom of this.
This query shows you how much redo is used by the sessions in your system currently:
select a.sid , a.value from v$sesstat a, v$statname b
where a.statistic# = b.statistic#
and b.name = 'redo size'Unfortunately, I am not aware of a AWR view (license required!) that corresponds to v$sesstat, so it would not be easy to look back and see which session generated the redo.
One way is to troubleshoot the problem online, using a utility such as snapper- http://blog.tanelpoder.com/2010/03/22/oracle-session-snapper-v3-10/ . See which sessions generate most redo and see what SQL they are running at that time.
The other way is to create your own “repository”. Sample V$SESSION, v$sesstat , v$statname and possibly V$SQL frequently (every few seconds) and record how much redo and what SQLs are running by each session. Once you gather enough data, look which sessions had the biggest “redo size” delta and what SQL were they running at that time.

all of a sudden my itunes wont come up when i hit the desktop icon. un and re installed many times, tried new users, it finally gave me "you need to reinstall sqmapi.dll " im a noob and i have know idea what that is or where i can get it. i cant open any file or library that has anything to do with itunes except safari and quicktime are fine. im about to pull out whats left of my hair.
Okay, that's got one thing ruled out at least.
Can you check something for me, big? I'd like to see if iTunes launches with the Bonjour Service disabled.
In your Start menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
... and click OK.
Restart the PC and try launching iTunes. Does it open this time? -

Where is the database object administration GUI in Oracle XE 11g?
Please read my whole question, because I'm sure people will misunderstand, and tell me to load http://localhost:8080/apex in my browser. I know that is there.
I am a previous user of Oracle XE 10g, but I just installed Oracle Express 11g. I only want to use it to get a local instance of Oracle database. The 10g APEX UI provided an easy way to administer database objects (users, schemas, and the like), but it appears the 11g APEX UI is some kind of weird application development environment that I don't want to use. It doesn't even seem aware of the schemas I created in the database using SQL Plus.
So, where is the regular admin GUI for Oracle database objects like users/schemas (i.e. something that will list the schemas that exist in the database, and allow me to add or delete them)? Or does 11g force you to do that using SQL (in which case, I'm going to go back to 10g).
Thanks,
JeffNo, SQL workshop is not what I want.
Basically, I don't want to deal with this concept of a "workspace" at all. It's useless to me and just gets in my way. All I want is a a UI where I can view a list of the schemas that exist in the database, and manipulate them easily.
I have TOAD, so I could use that, but I liked the old 10g administration GUI, since it provided the exact functionality at the exact level of complexity that I needed.
