End of Premier & Sustaining Support for OWB 10gR2

Hi,
I've read that for OWB 10gR1 the Premier Support ends Jul 2007 (Extended Support not offered) and the Sustaining Support ends Jul 2010 (no maintenance).
Would you have the information for OWB 10gR2 ? => will drive our choice for 10gR2 or 11gR1...
Thanks in advance,
Sébastien

From http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/owb_10gr2_faq.htm#HowisOWBPackaged:
Is Warehouse Builder 10g Release 2 now licensed as part of the database?
Yes, as of May 2006 Warehouse Builder is now shipped as part of the database and is no longer part of Developer Suite. The licensing and pricing have changed. See below for more details.
What are the key licensing options for Warehouse Builder 10g Release 2?
Warehouse Builder is now comprised of four components as follows
The core ETL features are now provided free with the database Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition. The core features that are provided free are those provided by the current 10g Release 1 version of Warehouse Builder with the addition of "Experts".
So support for OWB10gR2 will follow support for DB 10gR2: Oracle Lifetime Support policy:
http://www.oracle.com/support/lifetime-support-policy.html
Release - GA Date Premier - Support Ends - Extended Support Ends - Sustaining Support Ends
10.2 - Jul 2005 - Jul 2010 - Jul 2013 - Indefinite

Spatial support in OWB 10gR2

In '04 and '05, those of us interested in building spatial data warehouses saw and heard various reports regarding support for Spatial data types in OWB 10gR2:
"SDO_GEOMETRY data type as well as any object data types are supported beginning with OWB 10gR2"
Now that 10gR2 is out, I would like to see the documentation which supports this new feature. I have seen support for extending OWB metadata, as long as they are standard datatypes. Not LOB's.
Thanks!

Extended Support for Oracle 10gR2

We are currently on Premier Support and as per Oracle official docs. the support will end by 31 July 2010 and the fee for first year of Extended Support till 31 August 2011 will be waived. We already have a support contract which is current, do we need to do anything to get the Extended Sppport?
Thanks

If what you were told was verbal ... get it in writing.
Though personally I'd rather be in 11g for both the sake a fast and secure computing but also for the sake of my skills and resume.

Patchset for OWB 10gR2

Hi,
OWB 11g being available, I ask if there will come a further patchset for 10gR2 in the near future or will 11g be the only choice ?
regards
Thomas

Looks like it might be soon (i.e. 10.2.0.3). Check this metalink doc: Oracle Warehouse Builder, Releases and Patches, Doc ID: Note:340955.1.
I am waiting for the Solaris Operating System (x86) patchset.

WLI 10.2 Support for oracle 10GR2 or not .......

We are evaluating ALSB 3.0 with WLI 10.2 and we would like to use Oracle RAC 10GR2.
The BEA article at http://edocs.bea.com/platform/suppconfigs/configs102/102_over/supported_db.html#1178367
suggests that WLI 10.2 is not supported with Oracle RAC 10GR2.
I find this surprising since we are currently using WLI 8.1 SP4 with Oracle 9i RAC and its supported and its also possible to use WLI 9.2 with Oracle RAC 10GR2 according to this article http://edocs.bea.com/platform/suppconfigs/configs92/92_over/supported_db.html#1177976
and assuming you apply the appropriate Patch ID: 1VLA, Pass code: SJ88M5JJ
Anyone have any ideas on why WLI 10.2 is not supported with Oracle RAC 10GR2 as its an important architectural issue for us if we can not use RAC. Also does anyone know if BEA has any plans and timescales for when they will be supoporting Oracle RAC with WLI 10.2 ?

As luck would have it CR370015 was submitted to request a post GA certification of WLI 10.2 with Oracle RAC and it passed in the last few days. The docs have been updated to remove the comment on WLI not being supprted. See http://edocs.bea.com/platform/suppconfigs/configs102/102_over/supported_db.html#1178367

Correct methodlogy in OWB 10gR2

I have developed all mapping and now need to move to accepatance . I have read lot of discussions here and I am getting confused. Should I install OWB in the acceptance system or not. What is design repository and run-time repositoy.
Should we have only one project or 2 projects in OWB , one for acceptance and one for production and move metadata when changes are made.
I read in 10gr2 its different. We can do all from one repository thru configuations with different locations.
I get confused with so many terminology. Is there any good documentation from Oracle are in you setups.
Can anyone explain me what is the correct process for setting up design,run-time repository.
Thanks in advance

OWB 10gR2 License

Hi All,
We have installed the Oracle 10g2 enterprise database which has core ETL features for OWB 10gR2. We have not purchased the ETL option for OWB. Can we use Dimesions and Cubes as target table ?? Are Cubes and Dimensions only available with ETL option purchase ??
Thanks,
Sam.

What are you doing with a dimension when you can only specify SCD1. nothing
To me it's a joke that Oracle says that it's possible to use dimensions when you need the ETL option to be able to use SCD2. Most dimension's I have seen the last years have been defined as SCD2 and not SCD1. So what does it help to define a dimension if you can't use it afterwards in the mappings.

Oracle's Support for Virtual Iron customers

Please refer to the blog entry at:
http://blogs.oracle.com/virtualization/2009/07/oracle_vm_blog_whats_safe.html
Lot's of chatter out there today about VMware's migration program. Below are a few points for customers to consider…
1. Oracle is dedicated to the on-going support of Virtual Iron customers and has enhanced the support offering beyond what was previously available from Virtual Iron. Oracle is pleased to be able to offer its Lifetime Support program for Virtual Iron products, which will extend sustaining support for these products and the Virtual Iron Enterprise Edition products indefinitely. Please refer to the Lifetime Support Policy: Oracle Technology Products on the specific support options for Virtual Iron products. In addition, Oracle has retained Virtual Iron support personnel, so that people who provided support prior to the acquisition will continue to do so going forward.
2. Our intent is to seamlessly combine Virtual Iron's technology with Oracle VM to deliver a product that is unique in the industry both in breadth of functionality, and also depth of features specifically designed to make the full application stack easier to deploy, manage, and support in a virtual environment. Through the combination of Virtual Iron's technology with Oracle VM, customers will be able to benefit from an optimized, efficient application infrastructure with low operating costs. In the meantime, existing customers can be assured that they are fully supported, 24x7 through a world-class support organization.
3. Oracle VM is a free download. Virtual Iron customers can download and start using Oracle VM today. Oracle VM supports both Oracle and non-Oracle software, and delivers more efficient performance than other virtualization products. Moreover, there's no license cost for Oracle VM. You can benefit from complete virtualization and operating system stack with Oracle Enterprise Linux and Oracle VM that permits dramatically faster and easier deployment of enterprise software.
4. Compare. Oracle VM support pricing.
For more information, you can visit:
* Learn more about Oracle and Virtual Iron
* Oracle VM

Got my call and was unable to get all my questions answered (my fault had to cut call short), also I was unable to get the tech called back today so i am hoping that I can tomorrow.
Preliminary thoughts/answers seam to point that they will sell you additional licenses if you buy support for all of your existing boxes, plus the ones you want to add. Because I use single processor boxes I am trying to get them to license based on the cpu count instead of by the box. If by the box it doubles my cost.
We talked a great deal about the Oracle VM 2.2 that was released for download and how if compaired to Virtual iron. Oracle is not up to the Virtual Iron level yet but it made some big jumps and will be there pretty soon, by their account. I look forward to seeing the progress and the advances that they will surely incorperate with the huge influx of cash that Oracle will bring.
Stay tuned.

End of Support for TUxedo10gR3

Hi does anyone know when the end of Premier Support is for Oracle Fusion Tuxedo 10gR3 and is there a link to the support table?

Hi,
Premier Support for Tuxedo 10.3 ended January this year.
The document I guess you're looking for can be found here:

Support for XP ends when?

I have been looking for some info on when ZCM support for Windows XP will end? Given the timeframe for 11.3's release, will XP be dropped when 11.3 is released? I seem to remember Windows 2000 being dropped right away when it went out of MS support.
I am trying to get the remaining computers upgraded to Win7 but I am running into to opposition and need as much ammo as I can gather to push the issue - Doctors can be very stubborn.

The reason for dropping Windows 2000 support did not have anything
directly to do with Microsoft Dropping Support. It was the fact ZCM was
moving to a newer, more stable, and more robust version of .NET.
Microsoft never released the newer version of .NET for Windows 2000 and
hence Windows 2000 support for ZCM was no longer possible.
ZCM 11.3 will again be moving to a new version of .NET, but this version
of .NET is available and supported by Windows XP.
Novell has never removed support for an OS within a Service Pack Level
in the past, though some have been ADDED in the past. Traditionally,
support is removed during Service Pack Upgrades and even then it is
uncommon.
I would not expect Windows XP Support to be removed prior to ZCM 11.4,
which would be a long way off. Even then, I would be quite surprised if
XP support was lost since work on that version is already underway which
means that the technology it uses would be available to XP.
In short, I have not heard of any discussions for the removal of XP
support, the removal of support for an OS any time soon would be a
departure from past ZCM support history, and even the major release
AFTER the soon to be released major update would most likely support XP
as well.

OWB 10gR2 Does not support DML Error Logging

I've just had this confirmed by support.
So Oracle's key ETL tool does not support 10gR2s key ETL feature DML Logging.
So far set based loads on large volume databases you are going to find yourself being tripped over into row by row processing.
I find this staggering.
Has anyone else found this?

Oracle has come back to us saying that
"DML error logging feature is not supported for distributed DML."

OWB Support for Change Data Capture

Hi All,
Has anyone got OWB working with the Change Data Capture feature in the Oracle 9i database? I understand that CDC works by publishing changes through an advanced queue, which in theory OWB 9.0.4 upwards can have as a data source, but there doesn't appear to be any explicit support within the GUI for capturing CDC changes.
I'm also working on the assumption that we're talking about Synchronous CDC as found in 9i. 10g comes with Asynchronous CDC which I guess presents a different interface to the receiving program.
So - is there any support for 9i Change Data Capture in OWB, and has anyone got this to work in practice?
thanks
Mark

Mark,
There is currently no explicit support for the 9i CDC. You can use Advanced Queues to propagate the changes, but you will have to custom-build the capture infrastructure on the source side (set up the CDC, enqueue the changes in the appropriate form into the AQ etc.)
OWB will explicitly support CDC (10g async, which is the least invasinve method) in our next major release currently scheduled to be release in November of this year.

Igor

Oracle To End Support for Java 7

No More Free Updates for Java 7 after April 2015
Users must sign long-term support deals or migrate to Java 8 to avoid 'enormous headache and disruption to millions of applications'
Public updates for Java 7 -- including bug and security fixes -- will end this month, a situation that one security advocate says could impact millions of applications.
"As outlined in the Oracle JDK [Java Development Kit] Support Roadmap, after April 2015, Oracle will not post further updates of Java SE [Standard Edition] 7 to its public download sites," Oracle's Java SE Support Roadmap states. "Customers who need continued access to critical bug fixes and security fixes as well as general maintenance for Java SE 7 or older versions can get long-term support through Oracle Java SE Support. The process of migrating users from Java 7 to Java 8 through the auto update feature is expected to take place after the January 2015 CPU release."
[ The art of programming is changing rapidly. We help you navigate what's hot in programming and what's going cold and give insights into the technologies that are changing how developers work. | Keep up with hot topics in app dev with InfoWorld's Application Development newsletter. ]
Oracle released Java SE 7 in July 2011; Java SE 8 was released in March 2014. Java, particularly on the client side, has been beset by security issues in recent years. But Oracle has taken many steps to address the issues and stressed that most of the problems dated back several years, before Oracle took over Java from Sun in 2010.
Still, the impact of Oracle's cessation of public updates could be severe, an official at security firm Waratek, believes. Oracle's "rapid" end-of-life schedule for Java versions is great for innovation and language evolution, Waratek CTO John Matthew Holt said in an emailed statement. "However, there is a dangerous tradeoff; now millions of Java 7 applications will have to defend themselves against code-level vulnerabilities without the benefit of future fixes." Holt advocates either upgrades to Java 8 or use of Java Run-time Application Self Protection (RASP) technologies (Waratek is a RASP vendor).
This week's security update from Oracle, meanwhile, marks the "proverbial 'end of the road' for Java 7 application security, Holt said. "After today, the only version of the Java Platform which will receive public security updates is Java 8. This is huge news, and it is going to cause enormous headache and disruption to millions of application owners around the world."
Contacted Tuesday afternoon for a comment on the end of public updates for Java SE 7, by late evening Oracle had not yet responded.
The April 2015 Critical Patch Update released Tuesday by Oracle provides 98 new fixes for security issues across a wide range of product families, said Eric Maurice in an Oracle blog post. These range from Oracle Database to Oracle Fusion Middleware, Java SE, and MySQL. Fourteen of the security fixes are for Java SE.

Java 7 has already been dead for quite a while. While you could still use it for Java apps on your system, Apple blocked its use in browsers long ago. You have to install version 8 if you need Java support for the web.
