Is anyone using the Oracle Software Configuration Manager (SCM) feature?

I would like to provide version control over my forms development process (check in, check out, etc). I see that there is a built in Oracle Software Configuration Management tool. Has anyone used it?
Any pros?
Any cons?

Hi Daniel, it looks like Bruce has succinctly and accurately described configuration of the ImportManager step above (8/13).
One thing I could add is that the Key Field for Manager ID field should be set to the LDAP attribute that contains the 'pointer' to a given person's manager.
For example, given John Smith's sample LDAP record with the following attributes and values:
givenName = John
sn = Smith
uid = jsmith01
mgrUid = mmartin51
In this exam

Has anyone used the mackeeper software?

Has anyone used the mackeeper software?

Short answer: I don't recommend it, but it's not "a scam" or malware, per se. If you use it, you may have some real performance issues.
Me: I was an actual MacKeeper user (paid version) for about two years. What follows is my experience and conclusions. I am not a paid reviewer, nor tech professional. I am an educator with about 15 years of experience using Macs. I am what most people would call a "prosumer," in that I know a good deal about my systerm, but am not a techie, anti-utility software zealot, etc. I have no affiliation with Zeobit (manufacturer of MacKeeper) nor any of its competitors.
I bought MacKeeper in 2011, and then upgraded last year. I used it to remove junk files and duplicates, and experimented with the anti-virus software. I didn't use most of the other features.
The problem: I am running a 2009 15" Macbook Pro 2.8GHZ Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 512GB HDD. Over the past year, it has been having major performance issues. Slowdowns, hangups, applications quitting and more were all becoming the norm. I deleted duplicate files and ran MacKeeper a few times a month. I also ran permissions repairs regularly (disk utility). I looked for the cause of the slowdowns everywhere, from too many user accounts being open, to resource hogs. I decided that MacKeeper's Anti-Virus software was just taking up too much RAM and CPU, so I disabled it. I continued experiencing slowdowns and started monitoring my available RAM with a freeware app called Memory Clean. It often reported that I had less than 500MB available, even with very light usage, application wise. After "cleaning" memory, I could get my available RAM to about 1.5GB, max. I struggled with these issues for a year or more, and was about ready to concede defeat and buy a new machine. I figured my MBP was over four years old, and perhaps running Mountain Lion and normal wear/tear were just too much.
This morning, I noticed that the biggest resource hog on my system was a process called "MacKeeper Helper." The process relaunches even when it is forced to quit. It was consuming over 100MB of RAM and up to 99 percent of my CPU at times! I also noticed a process called "anti-virus" that also could not be quit, and was consuming over 100MB of RAM itself. I started researching how to kill these processes, and was introduced the the Great Online MacKeeper Controversy. Here is what I learned:
Some in the Mac community have pure hatred for this product (and some hate all like it).
There were numerous user reports of it slowing down systems
Zeobit seemed to be guilty of questionable ethics, particularly in its advertising.
There was no way to stop MacKeeper Helper and Anti-Virus processes from running with deleting the entire application.
I wasn't the only one annoyed by MacKeeper's system pop-ups, trying to sell me something I already bought.
The software got good professional reviews, even from well-respected publications (e.g. MacWorld)
It is often confused with Mac Defender, which WAS malware. They two are not associated.
The Decision: After researching ways of fully uninstalling MacKeeper (and considering whether or not I should), I decided to try the uninstall instructions from the manufacturer. It said that it would remove ALL traces of the application. I also didn't want to get into too much Terminal work and manually deleting things, as some users suggested doing. I followed the process (close app, drag to trash, enter password, click "uninstall"). I then ran a permissions repair and restarted.
The Results: I have been MacKeeper-free for about an hour as I write this. Put simply, my problems appear to be completely solved. MacKeeper Helper and Anti-Virus are gone. Available RAM is now up to 2.75GB. I have experienced no slowdowns or app crashes. Even bootup appeared to be considerably faster. Launching iPhoto with thousands of images now takes a few seconds instead of minutes. Everything feels faster. It's like I have my Mac back! I was ready to admit defeat and dish out another $2500+ that I didn't have. I now think that won't be necessary!
What Should Yo Do? You'll find a lot of controversy out there between professional reviews, ethically dubious paid reviews, Zeobit's own defense through public statements, and Mac users themselves. Some users like it, and swear up and down they are real people. Others are extremely angry and hate the product with the passion of 1,000 burning suns. All I can do is tell you my experience and make the following statement:
The bottom line is that I would not install MacKeeper/buy MacKeeper on my Mac. After investigating my own system's problems (which made iit nearly unusable) and concluding that MacKeeper might be the issue, I uninstalled it. Magically, all my issues went away. So...I report, you decide. Best of luck.

Support for Software Configuration Management(SCM) Tools

Hi!,
I am using JDevloper for my project.
I want to maintain the versions of all files in the project.Also,if all are using one Workspace on network and someone updates a file then message box got dispalyed asking for reloading buffers again.
So to avoid this and maintain versions I want to use Software Configuration Management (SCM)Tools.So does JDeveloper supports for SCM tools?If yes kindly tell me how to use it?
Thanks

Hi,
The upcoming release of JDeveloper (3.2) has support for SCM. In this release, support has been integrated with Oracle's own SCM product, Oracle Repository. In future releases, other SCM products (e.g. CVS) will be supported.
When JDeveloper 3.2 is released (should be available at the end of Nov / start of Dec), the installation guide will have full details on how to install the Oracle Repository and use the SCM integration in JDeveloper.
In 3.1 or earlier, a custom addin exists for JDeveloper that can be used to support SCM systems (see JDeveloper documentation on OTN). However, this is not as tightly integrated as the new SCM support coming in 3.2.

Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) and Software Configuration Manager (SCM)

Hi
Has anyone been able to install OCM(Oracle Configuration Manager, v 10.2.7) and
successful upload new Software Configurations to Metalink 3?
We have managed to download the OCM software (version 10.2.7), version 10.3.0 does not seam to be available
although it is the default suggestion from the download manger for the
"Oracle Configuration Manager Family" products.
We have also been able to install the OCM software in out Windows 2003/Siebel 8.0 development
environment. The connection to Metalink/Oracle configuration server even trough a proxy is
looking fine. We even get confirm/success message for the upload.
The only problem is, we don't event one day after doing the upload, see the new
configuration in Metalink 3.
Has anyone else been able to get this to work?
Axel

We got the configuration upload to work today and it did show up rather fast on Metalink 3. What we ended up having to do, was to install the software twice on the server once in the c:\sba80\gtwysrvr and once in the c:\sba80\siebsrvr directory.
If you are behind a proxy remember to use the -p parameter when calling setupCCR.

Has anyone used the HP Service Center / Manager Connector

I am interested to know if anyone has used the OEM connector for either of the HP Service Desks
Ideally I would like to find a reference to understand it stability etc........
Thanks

You should still be able to efile 2013 which will expedite the posting of your returns as well.The TPA can be helpful but you have to stay on top of them......the case advocate assigned to your case. They can be a bit slow on the uptake.the main thing is gettng them prepared and filed......and then the IRS to process and post them (which efile is much faster).If you mail them in....it will take weeks for them to process and post becuase they are a previous year return.....but not as bad as years prior to 2013. Older year returns just take the IRS longer to process.....

Software Configuration Management and Delivery

A client of ours wants to use Designer6i for software configuration management. We set it up, got it working, and have demonstrated such to the client. Oracle's documentation states the one missing piece in 6i is software delivery. Designer9i is supposed to have this piece. I have been searching the documentation and can't seem to find any information describing how it works in 9i. I have read that Oracle believes it's there, but have not found any good examples of how it does this. Has anyone else tried this or found documentation they can pass along? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your answers!
@Pushkar:
No this is not exactly what I meant;
What we want to do is a kind of classical configuration management or at least version control of
development objects like ABAP programs, table definitions, table data etc. that are contained within our SAP development system.
It's not about version management of external documents imported into SAP.
I know that there is a kind of version control via Transports, but this does not cover all classical version control mechanisms; what we are missing there is
- the possibility of reverting to an older version of an 'object'
- Branching / Merging mechanisms
- the possibility to choose which changes I want to release with which transform and which objects
- view differences between arbitrary versions of an object
I was hoping there is maybe a kind of 'add-on' or maybe even a built-in tool that provides classical version control mechanisms or something similar.
Thank you for further help,
Regards,
Jörg

Oracle net configuration manager download

Ok. I know this is a real stupid question, but what do I need to download to install and run the Oracle net configuration manager. I always thought the client install was sufficient for running both network configuration and SQL Plus. Is this the case?

Yes. Simply install the client.

Problems with integracao of the JDeveloper with Software Configuration Management (S

1) Error with JDeveloper 9i and Software Configutarion Management (SCM)
I have a problem with the JDeveloper 9i integrated with the repositorio 6i (SCM). When I make checkout of a
source in java of the repositorio, after that I make the alteration and later I make checkin of this source,
some times occur an error of feed of checkin or occurs error of checkout in case that it obtains to
make checkin.
2) Error when I open one branch and later that the alteration was finished I want to finish this branch.
when beginning one branch to tabalhar and I make alterations in a source in java, and to the end I want to
finish this branch, appear a message informing that some source in state of checkout exists, but when I go to
verify in the stack of checkout, do not exist no source or to folder.
Somebody could help me?
In case that it has the solution or it passed for these experiences?

Hi Uwe :-)
We know, that we have to raise the parameter PROCESSES to solve our problem (for a while). But we want to solve and understand the problem once for all.
And we noticed, that the processes raise everytime, we open a web-page in the visual editor in the JDeveloper. And we want to know, if anyone knows why. Or should we have forgot to set any parameter. Maybe its a bug of the JDeveloper version, we are unsing.
I just have found the error, that occurs in JDev.
Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12519, TNS:no appropriate service handler foundMaybe this is helpfully? :-/

Does anyone know the best software to make a scalene triangle using 3 predefined values?

Does anyone know the best software to make a scalene triangle using 3 predefined values?

kitweb,
It is not too difficult in Illustrator.
Presuming the values are the side lengths, you may turn on the Smart Guides and:
1) Create a circle with its centre at X=Y=0 and with its radius equalling the first side length;
2) Create another circle with its centre at X equalling the second side length and Y = 0, and with its radius equalling the third side length;
3) With the Pen Tool click at the centres of the circles (Smart Guides say centre), then at one of the intersections of the circles (Smart Guides say intersect), then back at the first centre;
4) Delete the circles, and if needed Object>Transform>Rotate/Reflect/Move/whatever for the right orientation/position.
Obviously, you may use any order of the predefined sidelengths from the beginning.

Siebel Software configuration management tool?

Folks,
Looking for any automated scheduling tool for Siebel Software configuration management. Any suggestions?
In detail, I want to move all objects including DB tables, alter column, index, LOVs, MVGs, Workflow, SIF, SRF all via a automated tool that can be scheduled; accept all dependencies and install automatically from DEV to QA/QC, Volume Test to production with no manual intervention.
Did anyone do this? Is it possible? What tool did you use?
Thanks.

Thanks for your input. Now that I understand ADM's capabilities; I have one more question -- is there a tool that is built on top of ADM that can also schedule the moves -- i.e., say if I have to move all the objects say at 11:00PM; is there a scheduling tool that I can use? A higher level tool all GUI based so that this can be done easily -- with someone who has no knowledge of cron or others like? Actually in the past I was responsible for Oracle ERP and we used Kanata which has these capabilities and I am looking for a similar tool.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.

When I get a date field value using the Oracle thin (type 4) JDBC driver...

....in 'DD-MMM-YY' format from an Oracle 8i database and pass it in to the java.util.Date() constructor, I get a IllegalArgumentException. This error doesn't occur when I use the type 2 driver, so it is apparently a driver-specific thing. It happens on both Win32 and Linux.
Has anyone seen this before? Is there a newer version of the Oracle thin (i.e., type 4) driver than is listed here?
http://web77-02.us.oracle.com/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/content.html
Thanks,

Yup, that original post didn't make much sense, did it? Let's try again.
I've got an EJB app that runs on WebLogic 6.0 (on Solaris in production, on Win2K for development) and accesses an Oracle 8i database. This app currently uses the Oracle type 2 JDBC drivers. All is well.
So I wanted to see how it would run on Linux. I've got a Redhat 7.1 box handy, so I installed the JDK and WL6.0 and slapped the ear file on there. Problem! Can't deploy because there are no Oracle drivers on this machine!
Makes sense. So I started looking around, and it seems installing Oracle on a RH 7.1 box involves patching glibc and other such nastiness. So let's just try the type 4 JDBC driver - no glibc patch, no shared object libraries, just good 'ol pure Java talking to Oracle on port 1521.
Once I had the URLs and whatnot set up, the app connected to the DB just fine, created the connection pool, read some data, etc. But when my app read a date from the DB and instantiates a new java.util.Date object, I got an IllegalArgumentException - i.e., the date can't be parsed.
"Hmm... that's odd", I thought, so back I went to my trusty Win2K machine, modified my configuration files to use the type 4 driver and - same error! So I switched back to the type 2 driver - and everything works fine, Dates and all. Hmmm.....
As you correctly state, that Date constructor is deprecated and I should use DateFormats and GregorianCalendars and whatnot instead.
But has anyone seen this weird behavior before - code that works fine on a type 2 driver starts throwing exceptions when used with a type 4 driver? Anyone have any solutions?
Thanks much,
Tom

Software Configuration Manager Vs Forms&Reports 6i

I develope using Forms&Reports 6i, can I manage my source files (fmb, rdf, pll, text file, ...) with Software Configuration Manager?
Which is the best way to do this?

Fabio,
Most certainly. Not only can you manage the source code but you can also merge .fmb files and run dependency analysis against forms and reports to identify the impact of changes to the schema or application.
There are plenty of examples at http://otn.oracle.com/products/repository/demos.html

Software Configuration Management for ABAP Development ?

Hi,
we are a software company selling a Data Capture Solution.
For this, we are currently in the process to develop an interface for transferring the extracted data into a customer's SAP R/3 system.
Since we want to develop this interface following certain software engineering principles, we are looking for a way to solve certain simple common Software Configuration Management issues, such as:
- Object Versioning (Similar to file versioning in classic software development): That means being able to:
-- Keep track WHO changed WHAT WHEN and WHY?
-- Revert to a former version of an object (e.g. when the fix of a former defect must be revoked for some reason)
-- Keep track which changes have been made for a certain Change Request (NOT meaning SAP Change Requests, but Change Request for our interface development)
- Label a certain version state as 'released' or 'tested' or whatever
- Perform a kind of 'Branching' (Classical Software Configuration Management task), e.g. when we release a version of our interface and start the development of a new version, we must open a 'Maintenance Branch' of our released version parallel to the ongoing development of the future release.
When I say 'Objects', I mean everything being concerned when developing something within R/3; that can be ABAP programs, forms, tables (structure and content(!)), etc.
We are using an SAP System version ECC 5.0 for development; as for now, we have come to the conclusion to use the versioning that comes with the Transforms, although they do not really cover the above requirements as we would like to.
Is there anybody out there who had the same idea and solved it somehow?
My impression is that in the SAP world, classical Software Configuration Management is not a part of the way of thinking; and that development for SAP R/3 has little in common with classical software development.
But maybe there is an add-on or some hidden features of NetWeaver or anything that can solve these issues.
Hope is the last to die...
Thank you very much for any feedback,
Regards,
Jörg

Re: Container Based Software Configuration Management

I've read the overview of Container Based Software Configuration Management and
have to admit that it is a nice concept. In fact, our SCM product SiberSafe Expert
2.0 (www.siberlogic.www) almost literally follows the guidelines mentioned in
the overview except that we call it Component Management.
SiberSafe recognizes the fact that most of software projects consist of software
components that have been inherited from and are being reused in other projects.
SiberSafe was built on the premise that it is critical to be able to version components
consisting of multiple files and folders so that a new project can be created
out of particular versions of multiple exising
components.
SiberSafe also recognizes the fact that various versions of various components
may be distributed not only across multiple projects, but also across multiple
lines of development (we call them "development streams"). This is why SiberSafe
makes the propagation of new versions of components from their "home" streams
into other streams where they are used and reused
as simple as a mouse button click.
When a few projects have a few development lines (streams) each and there are
tens or even hundreds of software components reused across these projects and
streams, it becomes pretty difficult to keep track of what went where and when.
What is the version of a specific java bean that our project currently uses? Is
there a newer version for that bean available? What verson of that bean do other
projects use? In order to provide users with
clear answers to this kind of questions SiberSafe automatically generates a visual
development flowchart that graphically shows relationships and interactions among
various components, component versions, projects and lines of development.
In fact, SiberSafe can easily generate such a flowchart even for a single file,
showing the full "travel" history of that file across projects and streams.

All,
There has been some uptake and some great feedback on rConfig since I made this announcement two weeks ago. rConfig is offically released as Version1 today. Please login to www.rconfig.com and download a copy.
You know, it takes less than 1 hour to install rConfig on Linux and more than 2 hours to get some of it's well known commercial counterparts up and running. There is even a complete, easy-to-follow Linux build document designed especially for the rConfig installation on www.rconfig.com. You'll be backing up Cisco configuration and show outputs in no time with rConfig. And even learning a bit of Linux along the way.
And remember, it's free & open source.
