Ending Support for Oracle 8i

Does anyone know the date that Oracle will end their support of 8i ?

Are you sure you need a Metalink account to access the certification matrix? I'm not prompted to log in with my Metalink account if I access it from OTN. My recollection is that Oracle moved the certification matrix so that it was publicly accessible a few months ago.

Jumbo Frames support for Oracle VM 3.0

Hi all
Is Jumbo frames supported for Oracle VM 3.0?
I would like to configure for 2 ways of usage :
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
Sam

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

What to do now that Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3?

Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3 on July 9. Downloads are no longer available anywhere that I can find. Adobe says 11.7 is now the "extended release" version. Since 10.3 has been the only solution when the latest Flash Player version won't work with Firefox, what do we do now? I have tested every Flash Player release after 10.3, and each starts crashing repeatedly after 24 hours. Each time, retreat to 10.3 was the only solution. The other suggestions in Firefox help don't work. I uninstalled 10.3 a few days ago to test 11.8 - the latest. It doesn't work with Firefox. Now I could only install 11.7. It hasn't failed yet, but it probably will tomorrow.
If Flash Player 11.8 and 11.7 don't work, and 10.3 is unavailable, what can we do?

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

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.

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.

When will Oracle end support for Version 7

We have several servers running Oracle 7.3.4 and we are making upgrade plans.
Could anyone tell us when support for version 7 will end.
Thanks

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.

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.

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

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.
