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.

  • Issue with copy control of Delivery document to Billing document

    Hi All,
    I am having some issue with copy control of Delivery document to Billing document.
    I am having two line items in Delivery documetn, one is for item to be delivered to customer and other which is created due to batch determination.
    Now , when I create billing document (VF01) with reference to this delivery document , I want only one line item (for the one which needs to be delivered to customer).
    I have used following things in  copy contro from ZLF to ZF2:
    Copying requirements: 004 ( Deliv-related item)
    Data VBRK/VBRP: 007 "(Inv.Split (Rec/Div))
    Is it correct or shall I use something else, so I have only one line item in Billing document.
    Regards
    Nidhi

    Pls. search the forum.
    Pls. refer the below link -

  • The exam did not start with Pearson VUE

    Hi,
    I registered IN Pearson VUE for exam 1Z0-007-ENU: Introduction to Oracle9i: SQL on 04th Jun 2011
    from one of the Egypt - Cairo area based Exam center.
    the exam did not start. The Pearson system started asking some Authorization code
    which the center person doesn't know
    The system In PearsonVUE.com doesn't let me reschedule or Cancel the same exam.
    Please I want to try taking the exam from different center.
    Thanks,

    Thanks,Very similar senario to {thread:id=2231056}
    Suggestions:
    1) Read that thread:
    2) Ensure you have an incident number from Pearson VUE.
    3) I suggest don't try to rebook this yourself, Pearson VUE may be best to do it. They may need to see what the issue was with the first test and clear that down first.
    Edited by: bigdelboy on Jun 5, 2011 11:10 PM
    Contact Pearson via ( http://pearsonvue.com/oracle/contact/ ) or ( http://pearsonvue.com/contact/emea/customerservice/) ... and ensure they give you an incident number.
    If on the telephone use ( www.pearsonvue.com/oracle/locate ) to locate alternatives test centers so they can rebook it for you easily over the phone which Pearson will often do.

  • Schedule 70-480 Exam With Pearson VUE at Edmonton Alberta Canada Location

    Hi All,
    Wonder if there will be exam center at Edmonton Alberta Canada Location after December 31, 2014 for 70-480 that registered at Pearson VUE? I tried register with VUE and can't find a single exam center at Edmonton, but found 3 in Calgary which is 3 hours
    away. It really doesn't make sense that a capital city of the province doesn't have an official test center.
    Please let me know if new test center will be extended to Edmonton.
    Thanks,
    Sam

  • Current issues with my Nokia Lumia 1520

    Hi all,
    I just wanted to list the current issues that I am having with my Nokia Lumia 1520:
    - Phone freezing and restarting on double tap
    - Click on scroll
    - 256 color when unlocking the phone (need to turn off the screen to resolve it)
    Do you think I should send it for repair or do you all have those issues?
    Thanks!

    I did a hard reset many times, but it fix the other bugs than click on scroll.
    I updated to GDR1 and it helps to have folders for the click on scroll issue.
    Had only 1click on scroll so far...

  • MIGO GR Issue With Respect To Inbound Delivery

    Hi
    When we do GR with ref to inbound delivery the batch and SLED are taken from inbound delivery to MIGO screen for one client.
    When we do GR with ref to inbound delivery the batch and SLED are NOT taken from inbound delivery to MIGO screen for another client.
    Wat could be the settings difference.. between clients.. whr i can find the reasons..
    Thanks
    Vijay

    First check
    The client where you are not finding the batch and SHDL for the Material.
    Check the material whether the Classification view maintained or not.? If maintained for 023, check whether the Class and Characteristics are maintained properly or not.?
    check whether the Batch rule is maintained or not by going to CU71 and MBC1, hope you will get a fair idea.?
    Check the transport request has been transported properly to the client you are testing now.
    Check both client configutation line by going details to SPRO .. Logistics general ..> Batch Management ..> Batch status.

  • Current issues with zen vision m softw

    feel free to add to this message. all issues current as of -30-07 if i have added these in some error or you know the solution, not a workaround, i'd be delighted to be wrong.
    there is a security issue wherein there is a critical error when you plug in the player
    search function will cause a system wide lock up
    when converting videos, if you check the box to have them automatically sent to your player, it will be sent to an inaccessible root directory
    when syncing with windows media player , your music files will be renamed and sent to a directory inconsistent with all other files, however, it will be accessible on player
    use of creative media explorer will cause a system wide security error and then a system lockup, or simply fail to function at all
    when renaming files individually, files will be reorganized upon finishing a single file, making it difficult to renavigate to all other files of similar artist or genre
    there is currently no convenient way to play your music while connected to pc, you must select all tracks you plan to play and drag them into now playing. this has a limited selection set, so constant play cannot be executed in one drag
    there is currently no copy/paste support
    there is no explorer support within the player itself, any movement of files must be moved to computer, deleted, moved from computer, deleted from computer.
    album art is not visible within creative organizer, nor can it be manipulated from this program, but the folder is still in the explorer tree
    pictures can not be viewed from creative organizer, only their file name
    there is currently no support to manually enter a new contact or task
    there is currently no support to edit all aspects of a file at once, only one field can be edited before it is again reorganized
    clicking the music subtree on media organizer can take between 0-25 seconds before it displays, when it doesn't permanently lockup

    i used to use Creative media source 3 for transfering stuff to and from my Zen xtra, ripping music CDs to mp3 and managing playlists.
    as for the updated Media source5, i now use windows media player for all the music related stuff, and drag and drop for all pictures and video.

  • Issue with batch determination in delivery

    Hi All,
    I have an STO and when creating delivery via VL10I I get an error "doc is incomplete, you cannot save delivery". I have all the sufficient data in STo for delivery creation. Infact there should be batch strategy not taking place i guess.
    When I enter batch number in STO then a delivery is created, why? batch shd be determined automatically when creating deliveries.
    But there is no issue is quality system with same materials and plants I can create deliveries..

    Hi,
    Are you sure that the incompletion is because of Batch determination?
    In that case goto
    Spro> Log. general> Batch management> Batch determination and batch check> Activate automatic batch determination for delivery item
    and flag Auto Batch det check box for Item category "NLN"
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    sharan

  • Pearson VUE -- unable to sit 1Z0-052 exam

    Good day to everyone,
    I am writing to ask for an advice regarding 1Z0-052 exam in Australia with Pearson VUE.
    My experience that it is pretty much impossible due to technical issues in testing centres.
    I have had the exam scheduled for 5th August 2010 in EXCOM Education (Brisbane, Australia), but the exam failed to start on the day.
    After waiting for almost two weeks (Pearson VUE was "investigating incident") and nagging them a few times I've been able to have exam rescheduled to September date. Before the exam date I have been called again and informed that the testing centre is unable to run the exam. Rescheduled again, this time to Dimension Data centre in Brisbane. The nearest available spot happened to be on 25th November.
    The exam failed to start again in the new centre. This time again I've had to call Pearson VUE several times over the past three weeks to get a response... that I have to reschedule the exam again, at a new testing centre.
    The problem is -- there are no more testing centres in Brisbane. The closest centre offered is more than 700 km away, and there is no guarantee that an exam will actually run there this time.
    I am not happy with this solution, as I have wasted two working days already with no results and I don't want to waste time and money again (it would cost me $500 just to get to the testing centre).
    Now it is almost five months since I have been ready to pass the exam and I have not a slightest idea when it might possibly happen.
    Could anyone tell me if s/he has sat an Oracle 11g Administration I exam (1Z0-052) anywhere in Australia?
    I am looking for a testing centre that is actually capable to let me sit the exam, as Pearson just doesn't seem trustworthy anymore.
    Or should I just get a refund and forget about Oracle certification?

    Thanks again, Brandye.
    All problems have been resolved by now.
    I have been contacted by the Pearson VUE in the end of December.
    They said that there is a new testing centre opening in Brisbane that would be able to deliver the exam.
    I was also refunded the exam fee I have paid before and given a voucher code for a free retest.
    I have successfully passed the test at the Training Choice testing centre and now happily await the certification kit.
    I dare to say that before you interfering my perspectives did not look promising, so thanks for your help.
    Kind regards,
    Nikita Nadezhdin

  • Pearson vue test center in kolkata

    sir
    I got an email with subject:
    Oracle Certification Has Engaged New Exam Delivery Vendor from oracle [emai id is not published|replies *AT* oracle-mail.com]
    its saying
    Oracle Certification Has Engaged New Exam Delivery Vendor
    Beginning September 25, 2009, Oracle certification exams will be offered through a new test delivery vendor – Pearson VUE -- and will no longer be available through Prometric.
    September 13 is the last day that candidates will be able to register with Prometric, although candidates may still take their exam at Prometric through September 25. Registrations for Oracle exams through Pearson VUE will begin on September 14, 2009. At that time, candidates should visit www.pearsonvue.com/oracle to find more information, register for an exam or locate a testing center in their area.
    We will provide more information and a series of FAQs on the Oracle Certification Program website in the coming weeks. For additional questions or further assistance, please contact Oracle Certification at [email protected]
    We are excited about this transition, and are confident that this change will improve service for Oracle Certification candidates.

    Edited by: bigdelboy on 03-Sep-2009 01:46 : The CFM's answer below is of course correct. One simply has to wait until 14th september. However on positive side I myself could have booked an LPIC exam at one of 4 Testing Centres offering Pearson Vue in Kolkata so there should be little problem in getting a Oracle Certification Exam booked with Pearson Vue in Kolkata when they become available.

  • Pearson Vue and CLD

    Idle thoughts
    I wonder why NI doesn't try to partner with Pearson Vue for the CLD itself, thus eliminating the need to find and travel to a proctor? I guess it would require that the Pearson Vue location have a reasonably good computer, running a clean, latest copy of LabVIEW, but other than that I don't see what other issues there would be. Pearson Vue has a pretty good reputation about maintaining testing integrity.
    Jim Haas

    I'm right there with you. I let mine lapse because I was not using LabVIEW. Now I am both rusty and un-documented (so to speak) but may soon need to look for LabVIEW work.
    I easily passed the CLAD and am starting to practice for the CLD again, but keeping it would have been far easier.
    As for testing at PV. I think it could be done and it would make sense, but it would take more effort on the part of PV and NI than it might be worth.
    Good luck with your test.

  • Question about Pearson Vue registration

    Hi All,
    I read some of the threads here and it sounds like there were some problems merging exam history with Pearson Vue.
    I'm OCP certified and I had done my exams with Prometric. I registered for a web account on the Pearson Vue website and i'm not waiting for an email. During the registration process, there was a question asking if I was certified and I said yes but the prometric ID didn't get accepted.
    I'm sure a lot of people has gone through that same process...After you got your email, were you able to see your exam history?
    Thanks.

    I'm sure a lot of people has gone through that same process...After you got your email, were you able to see your exam history?
    Thanks.The problems occur if you take examinations under 2 different Oracle Testing Ids.
    The result of this is the Oracle Certification Database see the owners as 2 different entities and if exams from both are required for a certifcation that would not be delivered.
    So it is kind of important (actually near vital) your Pearson VUE account has you Oracle Testing Id. matching the Prometric Id you used in previous tests.
    Now with the answers you've given you may find it gets corrected 'automatically' .... but if the 2 are different it seems to give problems downstream with the merge.
    I am a bit unclear what is meant by I am not waiting for an email. Does this means you registered with Pearson VUE twice?
    Now while
    Patience is a virtue,
    virtue makes a saint,
    Saints are a football team
    And I'm sure Pompey aint
    is not true as Pompey have avoided liquidation via administration patience is a virtue in this.
    When someone who registers with Pearson VUE who has previously tested with Prometric one of 3 things happens (sometimes because of the form):
    - They register saying they have not tested with Oracle Before:
    ---- They then get a New Oracle Testing Id and take exams and wonder why certifications do not occur as they expect .. and eventually they get a merge. Thankyou for increasing the exam costs.
    - They register with Pearson VUE, say they've tested before, enter their old Prometric Id, wait for the email saying all is sorted and they are abl to register and take exams.
    ---- This is fairly seamless with a 3 or 4 day delay.
    - The say they've tested before but do not enter an Oracle Testing Id.
    ---- My understanding is registration occurs and the're Oracle Testing Id. typically is updated with the correct old Pearson VUE automatically. But I cant be sure of this. I think some people say this has happened. If this happens they are find, if it doesn't they are stuffed.
    The pearson VUE history will only ever show exams taken with Pearson VUE. It does not know about Certifications, only exams.
    Oracle Certview system will show exams taken with Prometric and Pearson VUE. It is derived from the Oracle Certification Database which was initialized from Prometric history. Certview knows about exams and Certifications.
    Access to Certview is obtained by your Oracle SSO being account linked with your Oracle Testing Id though a Certview Profile. Certview Profiles are updated via the Pearson VUE website updating the your account which has your oracle Testing Id.
    These systems are not real time linked and their are delays while batch updates occur.
    Having a single Oracle Testing Id. makes all this go well. Having 2 means chaos results.
    WRT certview, if you are confused watch the video: [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/11/0139.html]
