Continued support for Oracle Open Office?

Following the announcement by Oracle that Oracle Open Office won't be on offer anymore
http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Oracle-OpenOffice-org-to-become-a-Community-based-Project-Update-1228831.html
users like me who come from StarOffice 9 and are now using Oracle OO are highly interested to know for how long Oracle is going to offer support (patches and updates) for Oracle Open Office 3.3.1.
Are there any news on that point?

Monday, April 18, 2011
I am not worried at this point because the service contracts remain in place. Since the latest update for StarOffice 7 was the middle of March (these may or may not be the patches announced at the end of last week by Oracle), I expect OOO patches to appear for a while.
At this point in time the only thing that I certain of is that the commercial milestones which have only existed since OOO 3.3 will end. This is a return to the state of affairs with StarOffice 9 which did not have a separate milestone from the OOo milestones.

StarOffice / Oracle Open Office

Are current SO9 users eligible for Oracle Open Office and it's incremental upgrades or will it be necessary to purchase it?

Saturday, July 10, 2010
Hi Gerhard!
Ok, extensions which are installed for users are installed in the users profile which is found at
c:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Support\OracleOpenOffice\3\
Other extensions are actually installed in the same folder as the program which is
c:\Program Files\Oracle\Oracle Open Office 3\
To debug your system, try renaming with OOO closed (including the quickstarter)
c:\Documents and Settings\User Application Support\OracleOpenOffice\3\
to
c:\Documents and Settings\User Application Support\OracleOpenOffice\3bad\
The start OOO again. If loads and runs without problem, the the problem is in the profile. If the problem still exists, then you need to remove and reinstall OOO. Make sure you rename or delete the old installation because your problem is on the program folder. During the reinstall do not select migrate the SO9 info.
If OOO runs then you can try using the SO9 profile. bootstrap.ini is found in
c:\Program Files\Oracle\Oracle Open Office 3\program
With OOO closed, open it in notepad or another text editor and change
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/OracleOpenOffice/3
to
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/StarOffice/9
Then try OOO. If it runs without hitch, then things are great. If the problem reoccurs, then try running SO and remove the extension.

An extra prompt appears for Credentials Opening Office Document in Workspac

Hi,
Anybody have any knowledge about this issue? and how to solve these issue?
*6959959* An extra prompt appears for Credentials Opening Office Document using Internet Explorer with Smartcut or from EPM Workspace.
If a security agent with a cookie-based session management mechanism is used, opening Microsoft Office documents from Microsoft Internet Explorer sometimes another prompt for credentials is displayed. This occurs because Microsoft Office issues an HTTP OPTIONS request when attempting to open documents. This OPTIONS request does not contain the same session-related cookies as requests made from the browser, so the security provider issues the prompt for credentials. Please see http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;838028 for details about how Microsoft Office and Microsoft Internet Explorer open documents.
To resolve this issue, reconfigure the security provider by disabling authentication for OPTIONS requests.
Thanks in Advance.

Not sure if this is what you are describing or not, but please take a look at Document ID 1350828.1 (I have pasted the text below):

1.For NFS usage (against NetApp server). The repository will be located on NFS.
2. For Management Network,i.e dedicated network between the OV Manager and OV Servers.
Thanks,
Rudi

Installing support for Oracle Designer Objects in an existing repository

We have been using SCM to store Forms and other files
for our development work.
Now I want to use Repository Reports in the Repository
Object Navigator, this requires me to install support
for Oracle Designer Objects.
Can I use the Repository Administration Utility and
Install support for Oracle Designer Objects
without effecting the existing repository data?
(I've tried metalink but keep getting TCP Error
while logging the TAR).
Cheers

How can i install oracle designer and prepare the repository at first on my personal my pc

Quark Support for Oracle???

I am uploading quark files in the database as BLOBs. Is there any way I can retrieve part or all components of quark file into html format and store in the database? I am using Oracle 9i with intermedia. Please also let me know the scope of Quark support for Oracle (i.e. what Oracle can do and cannot do with Quark files).
Thanks in Advance.
Arun Srivastav

This question is probably best asked in the Oracle Text forum. I beleive that Quark can have a text index placed on it, and the text might be able to be filtered to HTML (not images, if supported), but the real experts on this are in the Oracle Text forum.

Rep. does not have support for Oracle Designer

We're new to SCM and just useing SCM with JDeveloper.
Sorry for newbie stupidness. Searches of this forum didn't
turn up any hits on 21247 or other strings.
Given: brand new install of SCM. Created a private workarea
with RON. Attempting to use RAU to enable branching and
versioning.
I'm having some chicken-vs-the-egg problems. I can't
enable branching in my shared workarea with RAU because it
seems to want to pop up the Migration Dialogue and then
this error occurs:
CDR-21247: Error Cannot proceed!
The target repository does not have support for Oracle Designer
objects
Any help or tip would be greatly appreciated.

Curt,
If you managed to create a private workarea from the RON then versioning is enabled. You would have enabled this from the RAU.
Oracle 9i JDeveloper release candidate provides a wizard to create the workarea and private branch.
There are now two flavours of the repository, one with Designer + file and folder support and one with just files and folder support.
If you have no structured Designer components you do not require the Designer support to use JDeveloper with Oracle SCM.
I suggest you try the JDeveloper wizards. The RAU also offers a menu to examine repository object state. Check that you have no invalid
objects, they can be recompiled using the RAU.

Where did (Oracle) open office writer (and other) certifications go?

The used to be a certification exam 1z0-885 for Open office writer (and calc etc) : ( see eg: http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?p_org_id=378219&page_id=433 referenced at time of post).
However these seem to have disappeared without trace!!!
No retirement ... just vanishment.
While they were probably not popular from once they priced at over double Mr. Gates' offering .... ( as oposed to just under it when they were under Sun's wing).
I understand the apache may have open office gathered under its wing .... but have no absolute reference on this.
Still a retirement or some sort of notice would be appropriate as Oracle had stewardship at one point.
Rgds - bigdelboy.

Thanx for confirmation and link. I actually finally found something on the apache website about open office here : http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OpenOfficeProposal
I remember the exams were initially introduced by sun so I guess and not really open source related.
As far as I can tell apache http://directory.apache.org/community%26resources/open-group-certification.html appear to have some connections with certifcation with the open group http://www.opengroup.org/certification/ and I suppose there might be some case for suggestion those exams went under their stewardship.
But as you say the takeup was low, pricing of certiifcation too high (perhaps double microsofts equivalent ... and it needed to be less) and version have moved on and the beast appears to have gone slightly the way of the various unix variants ... the hope is a useful product can continue sensibly.

Red hat Linux support for Oracle

Hi! Can some body tell me which version of Red Hat Linux is supported. I was told that Oracle supports only upto Red hat 7.1 for Oracle 8.1.7.3.

NLS SUPPORT FOR ORACLE 8I

I am trying to use the NLS support of Oracle 8i on windows
Nt/2000 platforms. I have tried configuring the database

Hindi as NLS Language and territory parameters. I have also
tried configuring them as 'UTF8' a character set prescribed for
unicode /universal 8 bits ASCII character sets but i am not able
to insert any rows with these charactersets in NCHAR or NVARCHAR
columns. if i try to insert them in regualr char pr varchar
columns i can insert in the ascii formats and I have to retreive
them on front end through different mask format fonts.
If any one have tried the NLS support pls let me know how to
insert the records and retreive thenm in the national language..
Thanks in advance..

New Project for Oracle Open Source Projects Page

Another SQL*Plus clone but this one is written in pure java, feel free to add it to the Oracle Open Source Projects page:
SQL*More is a tool to execute commands against SQL databases in the same vein as SQL*Plus for Oracle. Key features are platform independence, database independence, a self-contained networking stack, a terminal friendly CLI implementation, and macro-like commands.
Thanks,
Marc

Happy to, but we'll need your project URL.

Will REF CURSOR support for Oracle Forms 6i?

Hi,
I need to use ref cursor in my from. My cursor query should be dynamically append the "where clause". Hence I used the dynamic query with ref cursor.
But my problem is , when I compile the form it gives error for the line " OPEN emp_record FOR l_query;"
You need to use "select" statement.
Is there any solution for this in forms?
I know it supports for other PL/SQL areas.
Please help me. below is my code sample,
DECLARE
TYPE emp_refcur IS REF CURSOR;
emp_record    emp_refcur;
TYPE rec_emp_data IS RECORD
    emp_no              VARCHAR2(40),
emp_rec             rec_emp_data;
l_query               VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
     l_query := 'SELECT empno
                 FROM emp ';
      IF :CONTROL.ename IS NOT NULL THEN
          l_query := l_query||' AND ename = '''||:CONTROL.ename||''' ';
      END IF;
     OPEN emp_record FOR l_query;
     LOOP
        FETCH emp_record INTO emp_rec;
        EXIT WHEN emp_record%NOTFOUND;
       dbms_output.put_line(emp_rec.emp_no);
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE emp_record;
END;      Thanks
Rajesh

Hi,
It's been a while since I used Forms 6i, but I remember hitting a similar problem. I don't think (and stress think!) that the PLSQL engine that comes with Forms 6i recognises ref_cursors.
The work-around I used was to move the functionality to the database and call it from forms.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Ian

TimesTen Cache Connect support for Oracle 11g

The latest 7.0.5 readme mentioned that "Oracle Release 11gR1 is supported with TimesTen Cache Connect to Oracle on Linux x86 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, and on Windows 32-bit."
What about Solaris 10? It looks like on Solaris 10 only Oracle 10gR2 being supported. What is so specific about Oracle 11?
Thank you,
Alex

TimesTen 7.0.5 can be used to cache data from different versions of Oracle database.
The reason why the support for Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX were not at the same time as the Linux platform was because Oracle database 11g was not available on those platforms initially. So TimesTen 7.0.5 was certified to support only the ones available first, and support for other platforms was added as 11g became available on those platforms. It was just timing of the certification, code base is the same.

SQL Server 2012 Change Data Capture for Oracle by Attunity support for Oracle 12

I would like to know if there are any plans for SQL Server 2012 Change Data Capture for Oracle by Attunity to support versions of Oracle 12 and if by when.

I have asked from the author of

I will either ask him to answer here or I would be a messenger.

When will SUpport for Oracle 8i Stop??

Hi All
Can anyone tell me if there is a schedule available for the life time of Oracle products.
Specifically I am interested to know when Oracle will stop supporting Oracle 8i RDBMS.
Thanks in advance.
Kim

The certification matrix on Metalink (http://metalink.oracle.com) and available from the OTN home page (under "Get Support") have links to the Oracle desupport notices.
Error Correction Support (what most people refer to as support) for 8.1.7.4 on all platforms will end at the end of 2004. On some platforms, it ended at the end of 2003. Extended support extends that by a few years.
