New BI 7 cerftication exam

I was trying to register for the BI 7 certification exam C_TBW45_04s. I was not able to find any information regarding that on the SAP education website.Instead there is this new exam code C_TBW45_70.
http://www.sap.com/services/education/catalog/netweaver/certificationtest.epx?context=FFC760B8923D16BB5150DAE63E7C1A6B331AF0B9E3A8F73CE3A9B7046E051044503600C911DBA13DCE978D3AC9057626D2B68111A7CD2D707E2EEC31213097E46EB790DD0106435EE0756F7B22F3FA4B4FF0645C06954BF39AD9826DEEE08116%7cDA891B3C877030D9C4305205DF5BCE39
Has anyone given the exam recently? Has C_TBW45_70 replaced C_TBW45_04s?

Thanks and Regards,
Khurram1) Possible topic changes between beta and production.
2) When reviewed for 11gR2 rather than 11gR1 ... it is possible, but unlikely, there could have been minor topic changes.
3) IMHO It is unlikely this exam will have further topic changes from those currently shown on the exam page.
( Please note one other exam (117) has possibly recently had issues with not display all topics) ).
Suggest you give more reasons for your question before I will spend any time investigating further, i am pressed for time at the moment.Hi bigdelboy,
Thanks for quick reply. I am going to appear in this exam at this weekend. What basically I wanna ask is that the questions of this exam will be same as when one of my friends appeared 2 months ago?? , or the whole paper/questions could be changed this time ?? I know that the questions came randomly from a set of pool. So is there any possibility that the Oracle has been changed the whole set of pool of questions recently?

New price of scjp exam

Hi All,
I have pay for scjp exam.but today, the exam center call me and said new price of the exam is *$300* is it true. can any one tell me. plzzz help
Thank you

you have to remember that the price is calculated in local currency, and with changing exchange rates that can mean that the dollar price fluctuates (and with the rapidly sinking dollar, that at the moment means the dollar price will go up even if the local price stays the same).
For example the price here is 250 Euro (inc taxes), and has been for years.
But when that price was set the Euro was $1, now it's almost $1.50.
So in dollars the price has gone up from $250 to (by now) about $370.

New Version of Mock Exam

The new version of my mock exam for the Java Programmer Certification is available at the URL that appears at the end of this post. The new version has a set of two Basic Exams and also a set of 144 questions distributed across ten topic specific exams and alternatively organized as a set of eight comprehensive exams.
This new version has 43 new questions relative to the old version. Most of the new questions are concentrated in three new topics: Constructors, Strings, and StringBuffers. The three new topics can be found on the Topic Exam page or you can find all 43 questions organized as a set of two exams on the New Questions page.
My exams are very difficult. First time visitors are encouraged to start with the set of two Basic Exams. Try the Topic Exams next and use them as you work through your study guide chapter-by-chapter. For example, if you complete a chapter that covers inheritance, then try the Inheritance exam. The Comprehensive Exams should be saved for last. Those that have already completed my exams should try the New Questions page.
The answer pages contain explanations for the answers and links to reference materials such as the Java Language Specification and a link back to this message board.
My home page contains a set of exams organized by date. Always use the latest version since the older versions may be deleted without notice.
http://www.geocities.com/danchisholm2000/

I have a question for those on this message board that are certified java programmers. Do you feel that studying for the exam was a valuable learning experience? Can you give an example of something interesting that you learned while studying for your certification?

1Z0-045: Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle 8i OCPs

Hi,
I was looking for right reference book for the 1z0-045 upgrade certification. I could not find any reference book that is related to this certification. Only one book have found out on Amazon site, which is "OCP Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Administrators Exam Guide (Oracle Press) (Paperback)" published by McGraw Hill.
But this book does not show exem number 1z0-045 anywhere. So I am not sure, is it a right book to buy.
Please let me know if any one has any knowledge about that.
I appreciate for your information.
Thanks
Amit

The book you mention is for those individuals who are upgrading their 9i OCP to the 10g OCP. Since you are apparently upgrading from 8i OCP, there is possibly a gap in your learning. You might want to take a look at OCP Oracle9i Database: New Features for Administrators Exam Guide (Paperback) which explains the new features for Oracle 9i to someone coming from an 8i background. No additional exam would be needed in your case but this book may help to fill out your knowledge a bit. You could also take a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96531/toc.htm if you would rather not buy an additional book.

10 g new features

Hi ,
I am an OCP (oracle 9i)certified person.
I need to upgrade the 10g new features. What exam i need to write.

This link provides the upgrade paths for various Oracle database certifications.
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=44
According to the matrix at that link, you can take the 1Z0-040 Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Administrators™ exam and get your 10g OCP if you already have a 9i OCP.

Heh, not new but was a bit hopeful the the forum
environment had changed in the last yearMaybe if less people came and posted open-ended vague questions that they should have started looking with Google for information about so they could ask more specific questions.....
I mean I don't know. It was a dream I had once. Everyone was very nice here. People used google. Nobody pleaded for "teh codes". People used PreparedStatement. People stopped crossposting. Lazy students stopped lying.
It was amazing.

Somewhat new to Java -- Given the task to create a GUI for a test.

Hello there, I am a freshman student, in a Java class; the semester is coming to an end. In our project, we were assigned three parts to complete a program, that basically hands out a test. [I believe someone else has asked questions about a similar problem before, but not towards my situation.]
The topic I chose to work with was the GUI for the program,and I'm already hitting snags. The issue is..well, probably the fact I get sort of lost when it comes to calling other methods, or just stupid mistakes to begin with. Some of the options we're faced with that we can put into the program are, for example, creating back/next buttons so the user can scroll through given questions, a progress meter [which I have no idea how to go about], Add an answer sheet in a separate window, and some others, but if possible, I will get to those when the time is right.
Also, a small note about the majority of the code; Most of it is from a mold that was given to us as an example in class, and the 'setUp' method came from another class. [QuizDriver] As of now, the code remains untouched, but the if loops that remain empty or rather messed up is my fault, as I hit a snag and..to be honest, I am quite lost.
As of now, my code for the GUI is this.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

You may find java.awt.CardLayout and javax.swing.JProgressBar helpful.
Generally if you have Swing-specific questions, you should ask on the Swing forum.

Decode mail

how can we decode email and please tell me i m new comer what is exam fee of solaris 9 sys admin I ?

Hello.
"Decode Email" means: Decode binary attachments?
If yes: That depends on the mail program you are using. As far as I know the "mail" command cannot do this. If you have "pine" installed you may use this program. Or you may use the mail program on the graphical user interface.

I have many questions about this program, but let me ask this one first:
In the TrueFalseQeustion class, why are there so many constructors? What is the purpose of setting some of the variables to default values?
Thank you very much!!!

Stop ignoring the error messages. You seem to think that an error message means you're doing the assignment wrong. It's probably a simple fix. Post the exact error messages, as well as the code that corresponds to them. The error message will tell you exactly what line the problem occurs on, so you know right where to look.Hi,

} I don't understand why the assignment wants me to build a method in the MultpleChoiceQuestion class to store the potential answer choices, I can make the program display the potential answer choices by including them in the questionText as following in the QuizDriver class
Question x;
x = new MultipleChoiceQuestion("What is the color of the car\na.Red\nb.Green", "a. Red", 3);
t.addQuestion(x); I don't know how to allow the client to construct the list of answer choices one at a time(add one potential answer choice by calling the addAsnwerChoices() method once)
Here are a few original sentences of my assignment which describe what I should do with the MultipleChoiceQuestion class
Using TrueFalseQuestion as a model, develop a new MultipleChoiceQuestion class that can be used to represent a problem where the user must select one of several answer choices (e.g., "Select answer (a), (b), (c), or (d)."). This new question type should have all of the same externally-visible functionality as TrueFalseQuestion, except that it must:
maintain a list of potential answer choices
provide a method that allows the client to construct the list of answer choices one at a time (i.e., the client should be able to call an addAnswerChoice() method to pass a new answer option to the MultipleChoiceQuestion.)
display (as part of the question text) the list of answer choices with appropriate letters ("abcd" instead of "0123") I don't understand what these sentences mean.
1. "Maintain a list of potential answer choices"-- this reminds me of the getPossibleAnswerChoice() method in the TrueFalseQuestion class
public String[] getPossibleAnswerChoice ()
 String[] possibleAnswerChoice = {"true", "false"};
 return possibleAnswerChoice;
 }I wonder that if the potential answer choices I have to store in the MultipleChoiceQuestion class are only letters "a", "b", "c", "d", etc, or include the answer text coming after the letters(eg. a.Red, b.Green)
2. "provide a method that allows the client to construct the list of answer choices one at a time". How do I achieve the functionality "one at a time"? Do I need to pass the input of the client (a potential answer choice) to the variable of the method which stores the list of potential answers?
3. "display (as part of the question text) the list of answer choices with appropriate letters". My question here is that: When the client type in one possible answer, should I append it to the variable questionText? (So I use the questionText variable in the methods of the first and second steps)
Thank you very much for your nice help!

Oracle 11g OCP 1Z0-050

Hi Guys
Any idea why that test is so hard?
It will be the third time i will try to get pass that exam, i feel it simply too difficult.
Any methods or idea to get it done? *dumps are excluded and banned in my world!!!!!!
Oracle 11g is quite complicated and in general Oracle gains a lot in complexity....
Please share your methods here....

Hi,
I managed to pass this test at the first attempt.
I prepared using the book "OCP Oracle Database 11g: New Features for Administrators Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-050)" by Sam Alapati.
This book was full with errors. I'm quite sure I would have failed the test miserably if I only prepared using this book.
Fortunately I noticed that there's a lot of conflicting information in this book. There are also errors in the tests (wrong answers).
So I ended up spending a lot of time double checking all information in the online documentation.
If you're using this book, I would strongly advise you to read it very sceptical and only as a guide to create your own notes.
Also, if any books are out by e.g. Sybex, have a look at these instead. They can never be as worse as the one by S. Alapati ;-)
And remember to practice all topics.
I also found the upgrade exam to be more difficult than the 10g OCA/OCP exams.
So in short, my preparation was:
1) Read all information in the exam cram book sceptically, verify in the online documentation and create my own notes. => this took a lot of time, but provided a global knowledge of all topics
2) Test each topic and verify my notes are correct.
3) Study own notes. => detailed knowledge of topics
4) Only take the tests at the end of each chapter when I studied everything thoroughly. => verify knowledge
5) Check if errors were due to misunderstanding some topics + corect notes, or just wrong answers in the book...
6) Keep track of topics with poor understanding, create notes for these, and study these extra.
Success with the next attempt. If you pass it, you'll be proud you didn't use brain dumps.
Greetz,
David

SCBCD -- CX-310-091 or CX-310-090

Hello,
I am kind of used to EJBs but have not used EJBs extensively. I am planning to take the Sun Certified Business Component Developer exam but I am confused over which exam to take. Should I take the (CX-310-090) or the new (CX-310-091) exam?
(CX-310-090) -- is for EJB 2.0 on Java EE 1.3
(CX-310-091) -- is for EJB 3.0 on Java EE 5
Also, I am not able to find appropriate study kit for the new exam. Most of the books available are for the old (CX-310-090) exam.
Can anyone help me with the following?
1. How is the exam different and difficult from the (CX-310-090) exam?
2. Where can I find the exact (CX-310-091) study kit ?
Thanks..

SCBCD Exam Study Kit: Java Business Component Developer Certification for EJB from Manning
ISBN-10: 1932394400
ISBN-13: 978-1932394405
This book is ok, good material but not the definitive book to pass the exam
Head First EJB is very easy to understand but some people don't like it.
To pass the exam is very individual, a combination of books it's better than just one.

NehaIn general one should go for 1z0-052 11g rather than 1z0-042 10g (and 11g is newer).
The 11g exam may arguably be up to 5% more difficult, but any difference is barely signnificant.
What is important if to consider that after 1x DBA OCA you may be considering 1x DBA OCP. Then in addition to considering the 1z0-0(x+4)3 exam you will need to consider the hands on course requirement.
The options for that hands-on-course requirement may influence your route.
