Installing VirtualBox on devops machines

Hi,
Is it possible to install "Oracle VM VirtualBox" on devops machines (the machines that are allocated to us from devops.oraclecorp.com), given that devops machines themselves are virtual machines?
When I install VirtualBox on a physical machine one of the prerequisite I perform is to enable CPU Virtualization support in the BIOS. Are there any prerequistes to install VirtualBox in devops virtual machines?
A related question. Which virtualization software does devops use? Is it Oracle VM Server or Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure?
Ravi

Yes. The EULA allows 2 activations. You just may not use both installs at the same time...

If it's a white disk with 10.6.3, technically as many Mac's that came with 10.6.3 or below that can run 10.6.
Legally, only one.
If it's a grey disk, then only the same model of Mac, as there are no hardware drivers for other Mac models on the grey disks.

Q: I am familiar with SQL Server's .NET data provider, but am new to Oracle. Is it easy to learn to use ODP.NET?
A: Yes. ODP.NET inherits from all the ADO.NET base classes, which is what SQL Server's .NET data provider, SqlClient, is based upon. The ADO.NET constructors, methods, and properties that you use with SQL Server will be the same with Oracle. For many applications, the only notable differences will be having all objects that were preceded with "Sql", such as SqlConnection, be preceded by "Oracle", such as OracleConnection, and accounting for differences between Oracle and SQL Server database data types, SQL, and stored procedure calls.
Q: What are the different ways Oracle integrates with Microsoft .NET?
A: Oracle integrates with .NET in a number of ways. For optimized .NET data access, ODP.NET enables access to all of the Oracle database's advanced features, such as RAC and XML DB, while ensuring the fastest performance from the .NET Framework.
For .NET development tools that make Oracle easier to use, the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio .NET provide wizards and designers that auto-generate ODP.NET code and can browse and edit schemas and stored procedures. Additionally, it includes a Data Window to modify and view data and context-sensitive help.
Beginning with Oracle Database 10g Release 2, developers can build and deploy .NET stored procedures for their Oracle database.
For application integration, web services can facilitate integration between your existing Oracle and .NET applications.
Q: Where can I find ODP.NET help and sample code?
A: ODP.NET documentation is available from within Visual Studio .NET using Dynamic Help. Just hit the F1 key when your cursor is on an ODP.NET API and a help page for that API will appear right within Visual Studio .NET.
Additional ODP.NET documentation is available both locally installed and from the ODP.NET documentation page.
Sample code can be found both locally as part of the ODP.NET installation (e.g. c:\oracle\<Oracle Home Name>\ODP.NET\samples) and on ODP.NET samples page.
ODP.NET users can ask questions on the ODP.NET discussion forum.
Q: I have ODP.NET installed, but I can't find the ODP.NET Dynamic Help. Where is it?
A: This behavior sometimes occurs when installing new Visual Studio .NET versions over an ODP.NET installation. To enable ODP.NET Dynamic Help, go to Visual Studio .NET Combined Help Collection Manager located in Visual Studio .NET 2002 or Visual Studio .NET 2003. Make sure the box next to the Oracle Data Provider for .NET Help is checked and click on the Update VSCC button. Close Visual Studio .NET and re-open it to enable ODP.NET Dynamic Help.
Note: Because of security restrictions, you may need to copy and paste the links above to a browser, rather than clicking on them. Once copied to a local browser, if you have a Windows service pack that prevents active content (e.g. Windows XP service pack 2), you will need to allow active content to view the complete page. To do this, click on the yellow bar at the top of the Visual Studio .NET Combined Help Collection Manager page, which indicates active content has been blocked. Select "Allow Blocked Content". A security warning will show up. Click "Yes" and you will be able to view the page in its entirety, including having the option to incorporate the Oracle Data Provider for .NET Help into Visual Studio .NET.
Q: What are the new features in this version of ODP.NET?
A:
ODP.NET 10.2.0.1.0
Server-side ODP.NET for .NET stored procedures
RAC client-side connection load balancing and automatic connection cleanup
Database Change Notification
LOB and LONG retrieval - faster data retrieval, InitialLOBFetchSize can be up to 2GB, and full LOB functionality when InitialLOBFetchSize > 0 (i.e. GetOracleClob and GetOracleBlob methods are enabled). These same features are now enabled with LONGs with its respective APIs.
Connection Pool Management - explicitly clear connection pool(s)
Client Identifier property for supporting application context security, such as with VPD
Input REF Cursor parameters
ODP.NET 10.1.0.3.0
Statement caching
DeriveParameters - automatic population of stored procedure parameters
Cancel long running queries
ADO.Net 1.1 interfaces - HasRows and EnlistDistributedTransaction properties
LOB and LONG retrieval - Entire LOB and LONG column data can be retrieved even if the select list does not contain a primary key, ROWID, or unique key.
ODP.NET 10.1.0.2.0
Grid support
Schema-based XMLType
BINARY_FLOAT and BINARY_DOUBLE datatypes
Multiple Oracle Homes
ODP.NET 9.2.0.4.01
Improved XML DB and XMLType support
PL/SQL associative arrays
connection pool validation
InitialLOBFetchSize property to improve LOB retrieval performance
Q: How do I make a feature enhancement request for ODP.NET?
A: You can contact Oracle Support or use the ODP.NET discussion forum to make an enhancement request.
Q: What features will ODP.NET support in future releases?
A: In general, Oracle does not discuss features in future product releases until the release date nears. We are well aware of enhancement requests made through the ODP.NET discussion forum and Oracle support. We encourage Oracle users to continue to make their requests known. Oracle will do its best to fulfill these requests in future releases.
Q: Do I need to install ODP.NET on my Oracle database server?
A: No. You only need to install ODP.NET for running client or middle-tier .NET applications. The exception is if you are using .NET stored procedures in the database server. The server-side ODP.NET provider will automatically be installed with the Oracle Database Extensions for .NET.
Q: Can ODP.NET work with Oracle8, Oracle8i, Oracle9i, and Oracle10g database (DB) servers? Can these DB servers be on Linux or Unix?
A: Yes and yes. Oracle clients can support older and newer versions of the Oracle database. Consult the Oracle on Windows FAQ for more information.
Oracle clients on Windows can work with Oracle database servers on any platform.
Q: Can ODP.NET be used with an Oracle8, Oracle8i, or Oracle9i Release 1 client?
A: No. You need to use the Oracle9i Release 2 or higher client.
Q: What do I need to have installed on my client machine to have ODP.NET work?
What needs to be on a client machine when running an application compiled with the 10g ODP.NET?
The FAQ states the following :-
A: You will require the following:
Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, or Windows Server 2003
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 or higher
Oracle9i Client Release 2 (9.2) or higher
Oracle Net Services (included with the client)
Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server, Release 2 (9.2) or higher. This is required for applications using distributed transacations.
This implies that ODP.NET does NOT need to be installed on a client. However, I cannot find OraOPs9.dll on a machine with Client Release 9.2 installed. Should OraOps?.dll automatically come with a Client installation of 9.2 or higher?
Also, if an application is built with the 10g ODP.NET, can it be run from a machine with OraOps9.dll?
I'd be very grateful for anyone who can clear up my confusion.
Mick

This implies that ODP.NET does NOT need to be installed on a client. However, I cannot find OraOPs9.dll on a machine with Client Release 9.2 installed. Should OraOps?.dll automatically come with a Client installation of 9.2 or higher?
ODP.NET needs to be installed on the client. OraOps9.dll is part of ODP.NET, not the Oracle Client.
Also, if an application is built with the 10g ODP.NET, can it be run from a machine with OraOps9.dll?
If an application is built with 10g ODP.NET, it can be run with 9.2 ODP.NET as long as you do not use any 10g APIs. The new features in 10g ODP.NET are included in the doc and the ODP.NET FAQ for your reference.

Clean install? Restoring Time Machine backups?

First let me say I'm relatively new to Mac, I've graded my iMac (Late 2013) to the latest OS, Yosemite. To say that they computer is dragging is a major under statement. Applications such as AutoCAD, anything Adobe (Photoshop, InDesign), Word, etc. drag. By "drag" I mean upon launch the icon bounces for a good 3-4 minutes and the program does not load. Switching profiles? Forget it, spinning pin wheel, 10 min. in I just restarted it. Its unbearable. I assume that I will have to do a clean install. Will Time Machine restore applications, or is this for documents only? Most of my software is from online subscriptions not disks which means this going to be a serious endeavor to wipe the computer and start all over. If anyones has a better idea of how to go about this, I'm all ears.

Installing the New Virtual Machine and XP Mode in Win7x64 on the Intel 2x E5-2620 Architecture (12 cores, 24 cpus)

I have been hibernating quietly at school with an Intel Core Duo T7300 on XP, and have been insulated from the madness of multi-core processors. I gather that there were problems with installing the XP Virtual Machine on Vista under Quad architectures,
but that these eventually got resolved in 2009.
The newer problem is concerned with installing the XP Virtual Machine on Win7x64 with greater than four cores in the cpu architecture. Others have mentioned this problem over this past Summer 2012. The problem is that at the very last step of
the complete install, Win7x64 reports a failure to install the XP Virtual Machine, and with no further comment.
Apparently KB/2519949 gave a temporary (MSFT qualifies this as "temporary") hotfix solution to this problem for AMD 8-core chips in the Bulldozer series. However MSFT cautions that this problem requires further research. This was earlier
this Summer 2012.
My problem is that I have an Intel 2xE5-2620 duo-processor cpu architecture (2x6=12 cores, 24 cpus in Windows). The cpu architecture is both Intel, and with far more than the old standard of four cores. The XP Virtual Machine in Win7x64 will
not install, as described above.
I have an armload of new 64-bit software all of which has installed pristinely in Win7x64 under this 2xE5-2620 Intel architecture. However, I have one very important piece of legacy (latest version incompatible beyond XP type of legacy) technical writing
software that is critical to my PhD thesis. In need the XP Virtual Machine for this, and I have no idea how to get it. My PhD thesis supervisor also needs this particular piece of "legacy" technical writing software for his new book on Probability
Theory.

I have news about this issue with XP Mode on Workstation machines. I have actually known about this for a couple of months, but it has not been until these Christmas 2012 holidays that I have had a chance to follow up with an implementation.
In review, I purchased a Workstation computer for scientific computation purposes this past August 2012. My chipset is an Intel 2x E5-2620 for a total of 12 cores, and it turns out that this was not the problem for XP Mode. My OEM shipped this
machine with Windows 7, but without XP Mode, and there is a reason why.
As an aside, it should be mentioned that the main line MSFT OS, Windows 7 or 8, is what I want for this machine, and not Server 2012. The reason is that most of the scientific computation and technical writing software that I use is written only for
Windows, and not for Server. Then also hopefully Hyper-V can do in Windows 8 most of what XP Mode is doing for me in Windows 7.
My dealer was able to tell me, when he got back from holidays in late September, that the reason that XP Mode failed to install on this Workstation, and the reason it was not included by the OEM, was that the original HDD configuration was for RAID (3 available
bays) and formatted for drives of at least 1TB in size. Although the original HDD installation was only a single HDD with only 500GB, the machine was equipped to have something much larger installed. But this format excluded the possibility of
XP Mode.
So we changed the hard drive installation to something that I preferred. We installed Windows 7 on a 480GB SSD, and I installed all my software on this drive, as well as all my important data. Most importantly, since this drive is less than 1TB,
we could use the MBR format which allows XP mode. Then we also formatted the original HDD of 500GB in MBR, and decided to run it with Intel RST. This second drive is for unimportant data, and large files. For backup we chose a 2TB USB 3.0
external. In this setting, installing Windows XP Mode was easy, as the only thing we needed to do was modify BIOS to enable virtualization which was part of the Intel 2x E5-2620 chipset already.
I am very pleased with XP Mode. The scientific writing software for my thesis that I was worried about does actually run in Windows 7 under compatibility mode, but there have been some huge advantages to installing in in XP Mode as well. I still have licensed
copies of Office 2003, Acrobat Pro 9, and MathType 5.2, and other old software as well. I now have all new software, for example Office 2010 (64-bit), Acrobat Pro 10 (32-bit for 64-bit), and MathType 6.8 (64-bit), and lots of other things. However, now that
I have my scientific wrtiting software (for which the maker has not caught up with Windows Vista/7) installed in XP Mode, I have also installed WORD 2003 with MathType 5.2 in XP Mode. My scientific writing software can translate WORD 2003/MathType 5.2 in RTF
format to LaTeX. So lets hope these guys eventually catch up with Windows 7 and 8.
I am also using XP Mode to archive a large block of my old data from the XP days. I still have licensed copies of the out of date software. And I would rather not update every single old file I have to a current format. So altogether, XP Mode is working
out quite well. It is very fast with my Intel 2x E5-2620 and maximum RAM.

You can install an older version of virtualbox-guest-utils.
You can wait for catalyst to support xorg-server 1.17 and install virtualbox-guest-utils only then.
You can change graphics drivers to the FLOSS ones and install xorg-server 1.17 and virtualbox-guest-utils.

Can we have BusinessObjects 4.0 and 4.1 both installed on the same machine

Can we have BusinessObjects 4.0 and 4.1 (tool Clients) both installed on the same machine? Why? Why not?

4.0 and 4.1 are incremental upgrades hence both on the same machine are not possible.
Though u can use 4.1 client tools to login to both 4.1 and 4.0 servers.
3.1 and 4.0/4.1 together is very much possible on the other hand.

Known Issue: Windows Emulators Are Not Supported When Visual Studio Installed in a Virtual Machine (Windows 10 Insider Preview SDK and tools, April 2015 release)

If you install Visual Studio 2015 with the Windows 10 Mobile emulators in a virtual machine, setup will succeed but the emulators will not be available as valid debug targets.

The Windows Emulators require a physical machine that runs Windows 8.1 (x64) Professional edition or higher, and a processor that supports Client Hyper-V and Second Level Address Translation (SLAT). The emulators will not run when Visual Studio is installed
in a Virtual Machine (VM).
The emulators for Universal Windows app development work best with Windows 10.

My Wife got an iPhone at work. IT set it up the first time on another machine, they finally install iTunes on her machine but I don't know if she can sync without loosing Photos, SMS, and other things. She had six months of stuff on that phone?

My Wife got an iPhone at work. IT set it up the first time on another machine, they finally install iTunes on her machine but I don't know if she can sync without loosing Photos, SMS, and other things. She had six months of stuff on that phone?
The problem is she can't update to new software until she connect to iTunes, but she don't want to loose all that info.
My question is:
If she register her apple ID on that new computer, and sync the phone, will she loose everything? or iTunes will back up first (because apple id match) and then sync.
Otherwise, how can I do it? The closest apple store is 3 hours away. thanks!

Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise her phone will be wiped during the following sync.
If she has data on the phone she wants to save, back up manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to her new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

Am I allowed to install Captivate on 2 machines (desktop and laptop) with 1 license?

Am I allowed to install Captivate on 2 machines (desktop and laptop) with 1 license?
Does it matter whether it is an individual license vs volume license?

The End user license agreement says that you can install of 2 machines however you can't use both at the same time with captivate working on it.
The previlage is givent to the user keeping the fact in mind that you might have a work laptop that you need to bring back home and work on it,so you can install it on Desktop at office and on the laptop as well and bring it back home and start working on it.
