Guidance needed for UCM certification

Hi All,
I am working on UCM for the past 5 months. I am willing to get UCM certified.
What are the main topics to cover , best book to follow, website and what topics are of less importance.
Please suggest me how and where should I begin?
Thankyou

I haven't seen anything that really qualifies as the definitive guide to this particular certification, and the "free" sample tests I saw offered on the web had wrong answers to a lot of the questions. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from taking the test, but the availability of reliable material makes prepping for this test really tough.
When I took the exam, it touched on many areas of the product:
Core Content Server (profiles, security, admin applets for example)
Site Studio
Digital Asset Manager
Document Capture
Forms Recognition
Imaging
Universal Records Management
Information Rights Management
My experience and advice would be that you have to be aware of all of these areas (and I hope that I didn't miss mentioning any topic areas).  You must be really strong in many areas to cover up for those areas of the test where your knowledge is lacking. 
The questions are spread far enough around the overall suite where you realistically can't have more than one weak area of knowledge.  As I recall. the test was 69 or 70 questions with a minimal passing score of 70%, so you are likely to see an average of about 8 or 9 questions per area mentioned above (more on some, less on others).  If you've never dealt with Rights Management or Forms Recognition for example, you're likely to miss those questions, making your max score at best 56 out of 70, or 80% assuming you miss nothing else.  That leaves you about 7 misses across the rest of the potential test material and still get a passing score.
The test is really designed for practitioners who have considerable experience in implementing the solution stack, as some of the questions that I saw could only be answered by someone who has done this for a while.  I don't see this test as one where you can easily bluff your way through, or get enough reminders/hints from other questions to get through successfully, since the broad scope of the material that you must cover really doesn't lend itself to such hinting help.
I don't intend to sound negative on the test at all, but I want to set realistic expectations based on me actually taking the test.

  • Advice needed for oracle certification

    HI
    I have completed my "1z0-007" and "1z0-042"  in 2009.
    Now i am planning to do oracle RAC certification, what is the best way to do it, I mean with my existing certification what other certification i have to do before i write the oracle RAC certififcation ?
    Thanks in Advance.

    The pre-requisite for the RAC certification exam is OCP for the database (the same or higher version).
    Thus, for 1Z0-058 (Grid and RAC Expert in 11g), you need to be an 11g or 12c OCP.

  • Guidance needed for psunami plugin!

    hello everyone,i have to make a logo come out from between the waves created by the psunami plugin.any kind of help regarding how to do that would be highly appreciated.
    regards,
    Abhishek

    There are a bunch of tricks for Psunami. You can use the image maps to displace the water and to lay the logo on the water. The displacement works fairly well to simulate a boat wake or a shoreline. The problem with using image maps as displacement is that they aren't flat. IOW, they follow the flow of the waves.
    The key to making Psunami work well is to make sure that you pick Realistic or better for the Render mode, and when working with image maps to displace and texture, to keep the Coarse Grid and Fine Grid at small enough values to avoid funky artifacts. You'll also need to set the Ocean Detail to at the very least Video Detail. Don't expect a fast render.
    I'd suggest that you set up your project with the logo as an image map set to Displace using the Alpha of your logo with the intensity set to 0. Then when you've got it raised out of the water enough, split the layer (Ctrl/Cmnd + D) and change the image map to Displace and Texture Below. Overlap the two copies by adjusting the out and in points so the wave action matches. This would fade in the logo color in like it's coming from below the water. As the logo rises farther out of the water split and overlap the layers and pick Texture Above or Texture On to achieve the look you want.
    The Logo is going to bend just like the water, but the color will be there. If you need to morph the logo to a flat surface then you'll have to match the angle with another copy of the logo as a 3D layer then carefully transition between the two. With Psunami you'll never be able to make it look like the water is running off the logo. You can fake it fairly well.
    If you need to have the water run off the surface my suggestion would be to do this in a 3D app. Blender (free open source) has some pretty good water effects and there are a bunch of tutorials. Depending on the realism you're trying to achieve you might want to composite some actual footage, some 3D, and some Psunami. This is definitely not a one click, one setting, one layer, two keyframe project.
    Just for fun I set up a project using CS5. It took about 5 minutes because I did a lot of this kind of stuff a long time ago. You'll find the file HERE. I hope it helps. The resulting image looks like this:
    As you can see the logo moving along with the water and it still looks submerged. It takes a bunch more work to make it look like it has move up and out of the water.

  • Guidance needed for non user ... so to speak...

    First off, I know nothing of value regarding wireless through VZ.  
    So if this is not a proper place to post, perhaps you can advise, and will move over there.
    While we have a cell phone, it is only for usage when on a trip out of town ... and we do not use it even at home ..... except to 'burn' off the minutes now and then, rather than losing them.
    We use a satelitte service for our internet.  Have used it for last 4-5 years; but recently read something that leads me to believe that perhaps a cell phone may be a better option.
    Why a better option ... because the satelitte service, while being faster than dialup, is not that much better ... now that the places where the feed goes up and down has become over crowded with users; versus years ago when it was not crowded ... and to try to get the satelitte company (WildBlue) to move our account is ignored.
    Our fee with WB is 50.00 per month.
    So am open for education ... not only in the poor service addressing, but also fees.
    Our cell phone fee is 10.00 per month ... "Prepay".  As to how many minutes that gives us, don't really know because we have never used them all up ... and the total minutes keep building up each time we send in our 30.00 dollars.
    I did once, a few years ago, acquire the necessary program and hook-up stuff to use the cell phone for modum when on the road.
    At home, my desktop and laptop are  wireless, and wireless router and modem that WB provides.
    Wife's desktop, older Dell, is hooked up to the system via wire into the router.
    Sorry to be so wordy, but trying to post stuff you may need toknow.
    So, can someone educate me please regarding if there is any advantage to switch over to VZ ... our carrier in our town ... speedwise and or possibly total fees based on what I reveal above.
    OH .... being that our cell phone is 3-4+ years old, presume it to not be ... bluetooth ??? --- equipped.
    Thank you

    Are you thinking of using Verizon for mobile broadband service and getting rid of WildBlue? Here's a page that explains some of the options:http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/mobilebroadband/?page=plans
    You can also get a smartphone, such as an Android or Palm, that can be used as a mobile hotspot for up to five devices. There is an extra charge to use an Android phone as a hotspot, but mobile hotspot is still free on a Palm Pixi Plus. Since you don't use many minutes, you could get the basic calling package for $39.99, then a required data package for smartphones. Keep in mind that all these mobile broadband options have caps on data usage. However, you can get unlimited data on a smartphone and won't have to worry about it on that device (mobile hotspot is not unlimited).
    Hope this helps. As the previous poster said, call customer service or visit a corporate store and someone will suggest solutions for you.
    As soon as we go to the city again, I plan on just that ... going to the VZ 'store'.  The community we live in, all 3k of folks ... no stoplights, etc. ... is remote and isolated, as is much of America.  Seems that only the folks in the big metropolis units get all the bells and whistles of these **bleep** companies.......even though our community has ALL the Fed. Govt. offices in it.
    As a result of that fact, the only access I have, as a former DSL user, is wireless ... which is 'probably' about 1/3 to 1/2 faster than dialup.  I got spoiled with DSL, and curse every day when on the internet.  Thought satelitte would solve the problem ... but does not ... only more $$ out the door for lousy results ..... due to latency of course.
    So when I read about EVDO, it appealed.
    But now, after all this time, I am hearing that I may not gain that much to justify all the extra charges.  Our 'little' cell phone runs us 10.00 per month ... and we NEVER use the minutes provided. 
    I just do not see any speed advantage by changing.
    So I am at a standstill...........and am thinking of forgetting it all as not worth changing ... and letting the cell phone minutes die a death by not renewing the quarterly charges...... especially since we discovered on our last RV trip that all we need to do to connect for messages, is park behind the motel complex, and use the wireless laptop to signin on a unsecured wireless connection.  Piece of cake.............

  • Guidance needed for KM and Collaboration

    Hi All,
    I am new to the EP platform.I would be grateful if anybody can help me out with these questions:
    1)When I have EP 6.0 installed,does that mean 'Collaboration' capabilities under 'people Integration' are also available to me?
    2)If yes,how and where do I start for the 'collaboration' functionality.How do I set up a virtual room for sharing documents.
    3)If 'collaboration' requires separate installation from EP6.0,then how do I install it?
    thanx in advance,
    Prasanna

    Hi Prasanna,
    to specify PK's answer more clearly for someone who is new to EP.
    1. When you install EP6.0 you have the option to install the Platform only or EP6.0 Platform and KMC (Knowledge Management and Collaboration).
    2. Installing also KMC you have all the collaboration functionalities in PCD roles. You have to assign yourself this roles (com.sap.netweaver.coll.*) in order to use the collaboration rooms. i.e.: After assigning the role com.sap.netweaver.coll.CollaborationRoomCreation you can go on Collaboration -> Rooms -> Room Creation in order to create a collaboration room for sharing documents.
    3. The most important thing is that after the Installation of EP6.0 Platform and KMC you have to do initial configuration tasks as described in the Administrator Guide on help.sap.com/ep -> Collaboration. Without this tasks you can not use Instant Messaging, Application Sharing or other collaboration features.
    Hope that clarifies things,
    Robert

  • Guidance needed for how to animate on linux

    Hello,
    For some rather long time I have been trying to figure out how I can make an animation in Linux and doing so through material obtained with a framegrabbing device. Captured from a camera of course. But how longer I try to find software and howto's the more I find myself lost. At this point Im about to resort to Windows because then I can be busy in doing stuff this same day.
    Perhaps Im seeing things more difficult than they are, but I could use some help in how to
    -setup my camera to work
    -get some sort of framegrabbing software
    -make an avi out of the pictures
    -editing software
    Sorry if the answer is very obvious, but I find myself being very irritated for not finding a way or by using unstable editing software etc etc If anyone has some howto to point to you, you are welcome in sharing.
    Thanks.

    You haven't even mentioned what you have tried/used before. FWIW ffmpeg settles the first 3, and cinelerra the fourth. Video isn't exactly mature on Linux but there's still plenty of choice.

  • Guidance For Doing Certification in SAP ABAP through Online Training.

    Happy New Year to All the Members of SAP Community Network,
    I am 2014 MCA (Master of computer applications) Pass Out . I have completed my 6 months industrial training in SAP ABAP From an unauthorized institute (DUCAT ,Noida) while doing my MCA. But, now i am planning to do the SAP ABAP certification from an Authorized Study center like ATOS ,Delhi . I CHOOSE OLT(ONLINE TRAINING) FOR 3 MONTHS FROM ATOS , DELHI.
    QUESTIONS:
    1. How Complete scenario of online training going on like yes a candidate have to complete 200 hours of training and its a online process no instructor is provided as the candidate who register for the course have full excess for 3 months for study material or ppt provided online or is it for a stipulated time period ?
    2. What Do's and Dont's a candidate have to follow while undergoing OLT ?
    3. What Is the prerequisite for SAP ABAP Crtification through OLT like we know candidate must have a basic knowledge of any programming language.
    but upto what extend ?
    4. How much time a candidate must devote and how a candidate prepare a blue print or a time table for preparing for there certification exam as well as having in depth knowledge of ABAP.
    Please Help to find the answers of the Above Questions .
    Thanx
    regards
    Rizu Yadav

    Hi,
    Wow, that sounds like pretty bad service from your training centre. I would take my business elsewhere.
    Anyway, I might be able to help a little questions 3 and 4. I did my ABAP certification a few years ago.
    "3. What Is the prerequisite for SAP ABAP Crtification through OLT like we know candidate must have a basic knowledge of any programming language but upto what extend ?"
    To learn ABAP you need to know programming basics. It's not much different to other languages. To become certified you need broad ABAP & SAP knowledge and (ideally) some real experience.
    "4. How much time a candidate must devote and how a candidate prepare a blue print or a time table for preparing for there certification exam as well as having in depth knowledge of ABAP"
    It took me about 6 months (part-time) of rereading the course notes, practicing on sample tests, and making up sample questions.
    Here are some tips on what to do in the certification exam itself:

    - Is this download what I need to set up a development environment for training and testing the skills from these courses?
    - Is there som other way to get access to working tools for certification training needs?
    I will be very grateful for any info/tip on how to test Netweaver application development using ABAP.
