  • OCA query

    Hi
    I want to do OCA for developer track [ oracle/sql-plsql/forms ]
    what are the paper for the same and where the material I can get
    thanks
    Vishal

    Looks like it is written by you. Yes -- I wrote this guide.
    Do you suggest this book for the exam: 1Z0-144?The study guide was written specifically for that exam. If I did not believe that it would help someone pass 1Z0-144, I would never have published it. That said, I never tell anyone "You should buy my guide" simply because I cannot be unbiased.
    I will tell you that I do not suggest using this guide as your sole means of preparation unless you are already very familiar with the test topics. I've been developing in PL/SQL for about 15 years. I could have used this study guide as my sole source because I already was well familiar with PL/SQL and really just needed to review the specific topics that would be tested. This is not the case for most people taking the exam.
    If you are new to PL/SQL, it is my opinion that simply reading any book (including the Oracle documentation) is insufficient preparation for the exam. Reading will help you learn the basics, but you need to practice writing code to become proficient. The guide contains a great deal of the information that you will need to know on the exam. However, if you don't really have any idea of how to program in PL/SQL then you may not be able to apply the information on the exam.
    In the companion site to the study guides, http://www.oraclecertificationprep.com I have links to the relevant documentation for each exam. I also collect links to articles, whitepapers, tutorials, etc. on the Web which have information relevant to the exam. I highly recommend using these (whether or not you purchase the guide) to help you learn the subject matter for the exam. Reading material written by different authors will provide you with a broader understanding of the information. The documentation is also an excellent resource. Its main problem is that the information you need is not always easy to locate. Also, the topics on the Oracle Education website don't always make it clear exactly what information you need to study.

  • Query Regarding the Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA

    Hi All
    I am planning to go for the certification "Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA "
    But I am not sure what is value of this certification in market.
    Please help me out.
    Thanks in advance
    Amit

    My view is this: The more you can put on your resume, usually the better. By itself, its not worth anything. Combined with several years of experience, it could make a difference. If you go for a job and have 5 years of experience and a certification, and the other candidate just has 5 years, as long as you both interview well, I'd say you have a slightly better shot because you have that extra thing on your resume.
    You need to look at it in that respect - but its not a magic key to get you any job. Of course different countries may be different in how they view certiciations.

  • Query on OCA 11g

    Hi,
    I wanted to know that, to complete OCA 11g certification Oracle recommends
         Oracle Database: SQL Fundamentals I and Oracle Database 11g: Administration Workshop I trainings.
    Is it necessary to take above trainings?
    Or can I pass this exam by self study?
    I am a fresher please do the needful.

    You do not have to complete any training in order to become an Oracle 11G OCA. 
    Pass a SQL exam (normally 1Z0-051) and the Admin 1 exam (1Z0-052) and you will be granted the certification.

  • OCA Certificates query

    I have completed 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-144 from Pearson VUE.
    Do i need to register in oracle website somewhere to get my certificate?
    Will i get certificate for individual exams(2) + OCA (1) so total 3 certificates OR only OCA certificate?

    Do i get any confirmation mail from Oracle for my post for certification?Okay after registeriing on certview thenext step is to access it to see wht it says ....
    - Go back to certview.oracle.com ... sign in ... and select the certification status tab.
    - The exam history subtab show what exams have been recorded aginst you.
    - The certification history shows the certfications you have been awarded
    - And the success kit status shows when your certification success kit (aka printed certificate) was requested from the printers ( it can be up to 8 weeks after that you receive it) along with what to do it things dont seem right.
    If you dont see what you are expecting to see then it is time to investigate. ( An example would be a person would found only a 1z0-144 pass ... but their 1z0-051 pass was missing .. this would often be because their 1z0-051 was taken under a different Oracle testing Id .. in which case the solution would be a merge).

    The codes you mentions are exams, not certifications, and passing both fulfills the pre-requisites for a PL/SQL OCA certifcation.
    1z0-051 and 1z0-144 are more modern alternatives.

  • OCA Online Certification Query

    I want to give the 'SQL 11g Fundamentals I' online as a non-proctored exam and want to know about its authenticity from certification point of view. Is it ok to give this paper online? Or will i have to give another proctored exam for the same paper again later?

    In general if people can get to a test center I think that is better; for reasons i have given in posts some way back i can't have time to seek out currently ( essentially no temptation to cheat, experience of test center for later more high value exams, no issues of distractions or connectivity issues that may be your fault). But those having to make a 400 mile trip to a test center would typically go for online.

    Thanks

    Hi Vj,
    Please check the SAP notes as below, which seems to be relevant for your issue.
    Assign points it useful.....
    Symptom
    There are errors in Business Explorer components such as Analyzer, Browser, Form Reporting, Web Application Designer, Query Designer, Map, OLE DB for OLAP Provider
    Solution General information
    This note contains information about BW 3.0A front end patch 3. Here, you will find the most important information on:
    Installation
    Error corrections
    New features
    Additional general information that is not specifically for this BW front end patch.
    Procedure
    Downloading BW front end patches via FTP from sapserv
    Downloading a BW front end patch via Online Correction Support (SAPnet)
    Preparing the Installation Server
    Checking the Installation Server
    Installation on PC
    Checking the PC
    Problems during the installation of the BW front end Patch
    Distributing a patch per script (for administrators only)
    Installation
    During the installation of the BW front end patch, note the following:
    (This area is constantly updated)
    The BW 3.0A front end patch 3 is based on the SAP GUI 6.10 Presentation CD 1 (6.10 Final Compilation 3, material number 50051811) and the SAP GUI 6.10 patch 12 or higher.
    The BW 3.0A front end patch 3 contains all files, to convert a BW 2.0B/2.1C front end into a BW 3.0A front end.
    The BW 3.0A front end is downward-compatible to BW 2.0B/2.C.Thus, it can also be used on BW 2.0B/2.1C backend systems.
    When you use the Web Application Designer, implement at least BW 3.0A Support Package 03 (see note 425995).
    Error corrections
    This BW front end patch corrects the following errors in particular:
    in SAP Business Explorer Analyzer
    Displaying document links on filter cells and text elements
    Improved performance for low-speed connections (WAN)
    Bug:Incorrect language when starting documents in the Web browser (refer to note 450200)
    Bug:Import of missing styles does not import the color palette anymore (refer to note 450194)
    Bug:Various problems during the server logon as of Release 2.0 (incorrect list of Goto destinations, incorrectly indented hierarchy symbols...)
    Bug: Starting jump destinations in the Web does not work
    in BEx Query Designer
    The system does not correctly interpret characteristics that were selected as being unique in each cell and when it checks these characteristics, it mistakenly reports them as being defined non-uniquely.
    After you called the cell editor, you had to press the toolbar buttons twice to call the required function.
    In the cell editor, you could change the formula cells but not the formulas of the columns or of the rows because the system displayed all references to other columns or rows as 25 digit numbers.
    When you use Save as ... for queries with formula cells, these cells are not copied.
    When you used the Save as ... function for queries with cells, the copied query sometimes displayed the message "Brain 299 SAPLRRI2 Form CELL_FUELLEN_ACELL-01-" when it was executed.
    When you used the Save as ... function for queries with formula cells, these cells were not copied.
    in Variable Editor
    Formula variables that were replaced with the "To" value in intervals, were displayed without the "To" selection when you changed them.
    in SAP Business Explorer Browser
    Drag&Drop of Japanese file names on Japanese WinNT computers is now supported
    Temporary files are automatically deleted when the BEx Browser is exited
    New features
    New features delivered with this BW front end patch:
    SAP Business Explorer Analyzer
    Delete function in dialog "Open -> Views"
    Displaying documents for text elements and filter values
    Now the BW front end is installed in a separate program folder in the start menu. The folder is called 'Business Explorer'.The setup only allows you to change the name of the folder of the SAP front end.
    Procedure
    1. Downloading the BW front end patch via FTP or SAPnet
    2. Preparing and checking the installation server
    3. Installing and checking on the PC
    Note that you cannot install a BW front end patch directly on a PC (also see the 'Distribution of a patch by script' section).
    The check of every step with SAPBEXC.XLA avoids unnecessary subsequent problems.
    Downloading BW front end patches via FTP from sapserv
    Downloading patches from the sapserv is described in note 96885, "Downloading a front end patch from SAPSERVx".
    The BW 3.0A front end patches and the SAP GUI 6.10 patches are in the directory
       sapservX/general/frontend/patches/rel610/Windows/Win32
    The file name of the BW front end patch is
       BW30A_n.EXE (where 'n' is the number of the BW front end patch)
    The file name of the SAP GUI patch is
       GUI610_n.EXE (where 'n' is the number of the SAP GUI patch)
    In general, you can use the highest existing SAP GUI patch.The above-mentioned number of the SAP GUI patch is the minimum requirement.
    Downloading a BW front end patch via Online Correction Support (SAPnet)
    You can also download BW front end patches in the SAPnet.The URL for the SAP Online Correction Support is:
       http://service.sap.com/swcenter-main
    After you select SAP BW/SAP BW 3.0A/Binary Patches/SAP GUI for Windows 6.10/Win32 in the tree on the right side, the SAP Download Area appears on the left side.
    Here you can select BW30A.EXE and, if necessary, GUI610.EXE for downloading.
    In general, you can use the highest existing SAP GUI patch.The above-mentioned number of the SAP GUI patch is the minimum requirement.
    Preparing the Installation Server
    The installation of patches on the installation server is described in note 361222. Follow the instructions in this note.
    A BW front end patch contains all files from the previous patches, so that you only need to install the latest patch.
    Checking the Installation Server
    Note 197460, "BW front end Checktool sapbexc.xla", describes how easily and quickly you can check the installation server.
    Installation on PC
    The BW front end patch is installed by executing the SAP GUI setup.In the setup, you must select the BW add-ons component to install the BW front end.
    See also the section distribution of a patch per script.
    Checking the PC
    Note 197460, "BW front end Checktool sapbexc.xla", describes how simple and fast the local installation checks a PC
    The local execution of SAPBEXC.XLA is necessary if you sent problems to the SAP Support (see note 142705).The status of a PC can be checked with the result of SAPBEXC.XLA.
    Problems during the installation of the BW front end patch
    If problems occur during the installation of the BW front end patches, you should install the BW front end patch again and use the following method for this:
    First, remove the BW front end with "Remove" menu option under "SAP front end" from your local PC.
    Afterwards you can install the front end programs again with the setup program of your setup server.The setup program has been delivered with the front end CD.You must have administrator rights on the local PC.During the setup, no other programs (for example, Excel) should run.
    Certain programs save information on OLE components in special files.These files are not updated automatically during a new installation, therefore, when you change the OLE component during the installation, old information may remain in the system.We recommend you delete all files with the extensions ".EXD" and ".OCA" before you carry out the new installation.
    Distributing a patch per script (for administrators only)
    There is a large number of products for the distribution of software (for example, Microsoft SMS, IBM Tivoli, NetSupport NetInstall), so that no individual Support is possible when you use SAP and BW.There are two general notes about the front end installation (153341 and 194859), to which the system also refers.
    The following remarks are intended for administrators who want to distribute a BW front end patch with such a software.
    A BW front end patch consists of several files in different directories. These directories correspond to the directories on the installation server or on the CD.The files are usually distributed into the following directories on the local PC:
    c:\program files\common files\sap\system
    c:\program files\sappc
    c:\winnt\system32 or c:\windows\system
    In the sapbexc.xla file on the "Version" tab, there are notes about where the file must be copied to and whether it must be registered.
    For the preparation of a script, first you should make a normal installation on a local PC from the installation server which must be checked with sapbexc.xla (see note 197460).Afterwards you can localize the corresponding directory of a file using this PC.In general, each DLL and each OCX must be registered if it can be registered.After the installation per script, a deinstallation may no longer work, therefore, before registering a file with regsvr32.exe <Path\File>, you should execute the script for an unregistration with regsvr32.exe /U <path\file>.
    Currently, the sapbexc.xla checktool may not be able to recognize certain installation errors (copy without registrations) (see note 206609).
    SAP offers support for problems with incorrect scripts for distributing patches.
    Best Regards,
    DMK

  • 1Z0-051 Oracle Certification - OCA

    Hi. I am in a fix and so need your help.
    I am planning to give 1Z0-051 Oracle Certification exam(Oracle Database 11g- SQL fundamentals). However, I will be unable to give my 1Z0-052 exam(Oracle Database 11g- Administration-I) at this time. So, if I give only 1Z0-051 exam, then will it carry some weightage in my resume? Also, if I pass the 1Z0-051 exam, then how should I put it in my resume? That I am a Oracle Certified individual?

Also, if I pass the 1Z0-051 exam, then how should I put it in my resume? That I am a Oracle Certified individual?If you pass the 1z0-051 you may put that in your resumé.
    (If you need proof of this copy the report from the test center ... you cannot really get from of this from Oracle. Certview will publish certifcations, not exam passes). If you take this online there is no proof it was you you actually took the exam).
    However you are not Oracle certified and must not put that in your resume ... you may only put it in your resumé when you have proof from Oracle you have been awarded a Certification.
    The weight of this exam pass, and indeed any exam pass or certification, can depend on the reader(s) of the resumé; and the nature of job you are applying for; and the strength of the other candidates for the job. Suppose an employer was looking for CV's for a DBA job. Assuming the HR/agencies let the CV's through they might get (in practice a higher number of DBA OCPs might be expected):
    Person with a 1z0-051 pass and degree and no experience.
    5 with 9i DBA OCP, most with MA degrees, with no experience
    10g DBA OCA obtained 3 years ago with no experience.
    Apparently experienced DBA with no formal qualifications and no degree.
    Now the first and last candidates have a high probability of being what they say they are, but the first wuld be no good if an experienced DBA was needed. It would be necessary at interview to be careful to check the others had the experience level claimed due to certifications being obtained though cheating and fraud. Its also worth noting DBA OCA does not cover backups / restores in depth.
    However if what was needed was someone to query database results as a result of some tests the first candidate might acutally be the most suitable .. assuming he has studied the 1z0-051 carefully. The 10g OCA might not have done SQL ... the experienced DBA might feel that was not a suitable job for him, and the 9i DBA OCPs may have rushed (or cheated) their way through 1z0-007 as quickly as possible and would not be interested / capablle of this work.
    (Please note this article is biased against 9i DBA OCP ... at one point my understanding is there was a particularly high level of cheating/fraud against this certification and some poor training from some WDP institutions ... which is a pity for those achieving the certification through due work and good training).

  • Oracle 9i OCA/OCP Exam

    Hi,
    I just want to know that is it compulsory to study in any prometric centre for appearing in all exams of 9i/10G? Someone told me that, i will not eligible to appear in exam, until and unless i am not student of any prometric centre. Is it right?
    I am sorry, i do'nt know; whether i should post this query here or not?
    Please guide me.
    Thanks & Regrds

    Sir, Thanks you so much. I checked the link provided by you and there is nothing mentioned like "a person must be a student of prometric / oracle authorized centre, for eligible in 9i oca/ocp exam". It means, if i prepare myself and study the oracle, i am eligible to appear in the exam (no need to be student of prometric / oracle authorized, bocz this condition is no where mentioned).
    Thanks & Regards

  • DB buffer cache vs. SQL query & PL/SQL function result cache

    Hi all,
    Started preparing for OCA cert. just myself using McGraw Hill's exam guide. Have a question about memory structures.
    Actually, DB buffer cache is used to copy e.g. SELECT queries result data blocks, that can be reused by another session (server process).
    There is also additional otion - SQL query & PL/SQL function result cache (from 11g), where also stored the results of such queries.
    Do they do the same thing or nevertheless there is some difference, different purpose?
    thanks in advance...

    There is also additional otion - SQL query & PL/SQL function result cache (from 11g), where also stored the results of such queries.Result cache located in shared pool.So it is one component of shared pool.When server process execute query(and if you configured result cache) then result will store in shared pool.Then next execution time run time mechanism will detect and consider using result cache without executing this query(if data was not changed this is happen detection time)
    Do they do the same thing or nevertheless there is some difference, different purpose?.Buffer cache and result cache are different things and purpose also,but result cache introduced to improve response time of query in 11g(but such mechanism also implemented in 10g subquery execution,in complex query).In buffer cache holds data blocks but not such results.

    ThanksIn terms of certification pre-reqs for DBA and PL/SQL OCA's you have an 1z0-147 which is one of the certification exams that satisfy that requirement.
    Afer passing 1z0-047 you need to consider whether you should take a developer track or DBA track
    From your posts you seem to consider 10g DBA OCA .... 11g DBA OCA would be better but if going down the DBA route your eventual goal should be DBA OCP ..... and that requires mandatory training and your may need to factor that in ... sometimes people may find workforce 10g DBA training is the more accessable to themselves.
    As for the books, both the Sybex and Oracle Press exam focused books have their advantages and disadvantages and faults. Oracle Documentation remains the authorative source.

  • OCA general question

    hi every body !
    m a newbie preparing for oracle OCA ...
    i wanted to ask a simple question.. i have searched abt it and found this at oracle uni regarding DBA fundamentals 1 exam ...
    Oracle9i Database Administration Fundamentals I (Database and Grids)
    This course counts towards the Hands-on course requirement for the Oracle 9i Database Administrator Certification. Only instructor-led inclass or instructor-led online formats of this course will meet the Certification Hands-on Requirement. Self Study CD-Rom and Knowledge Center courses are excellent study and reference tools but DO NOT meet the Hands-on Requirement for certification.
    my question is is it necessary to attend some instructor led training ?
    or can we pass it by using self study cd rom
    thnx in advance for any guidance u provide ....

    It's just some good advice and you'll need to take it very serious in (the near?) in the future.
    If you want to learn it the hard way or the right way is up to you.
    Just trying to explain that by using IM speak, you'll get less response to your questions in the end/on the long run:
    Your resultset will be much much smaller, whereas 'resultset' stands for:
    - People who will respond to your questions since they understand what you mean.
    vs.
    - People who won't respond to your questions since they don't understand at all what you mean.
    So: in a way: IM speak is a predicate on your query(='question').
    You limit the results of possible answers by using it.
    All clever people who have earned their skills refrain from using IM speak.
    Just so they can be clear, to-the-point and being understood in many countries over the world.
    Just so they cannot be misunderstood.
    Don't forget: OTN is 24/7 worldwide, it's international.
    Tom Kyte wouldl probably make fun of you (and he does it terribly well ;) ), if you'd ever get the chance to ask him a tough question using the same way of expressing yourself as you do now.
    SQL or PL/SQL wouldn't do anything as well (except raising errors), if you don't use the correct syntax and make up your own shortcuts...
    What you ask has got to be 'parsed' by other readers and if you add some IM speak layer on top of it, many 'compilers' outside your near 'hood' won't be able to parse it, while on the other hand you might have gotten a great answer...

  • About getting OCA certificate

    Dear all,
    After when through the forum , i have some query about getting the OCA.
    Here is my situation, my job function is more related on Oracle 9i (some DBA jobs,select SQL statements) jobs. Although i'm very new in Oracle, but i'm very interested to master the oracle skill. So i would decided to take OCA.
    Question :
    1. Which one is more suitable for me : Oracle9i Database Administrator or Oracle Certification Program?
    From the flow to getting OCA , it is only pass min 2 exam that will do ? ex : 1z0-047 & 1z0-031?
    2. It is recommend to attend the course or self study will do?
    3. If i want to attend the course ,what is the fees ?
    Appreciate to hear the comment from your all :)
    Thanks.

    1. Which one is more suitable for me : Oracle9i Database Administrator or Oracle Certification Program?
    From the flow to getting OCA , it is only pass min 2 exam that will do ? ex : 1z0-047 & 1z0-031? Only you can answer that. If you are doing DBA work then the Database Admin OCA is a more appropriate target. If you are doing PL/SQL already then the programmer may be a good target.
    The good news is for either direction you have to take one of the following examinations: 1z0-007 , 1z0-047 or 1z0-051. (1z0-001 is retired).
    Of these my personal belief is 1z0-047 may be harder to study for (you cannot take online and training material may be harder to come by).
    2. It is recommend to attend the course or self study will do?I expect Oracle will recommend you receive training from an authorized trainer. However most budgets have limitations. Instructor lead training is useful at some point, in fact often useful at any point, but you may need to choose the expensive instructor-led course(s) with care so they are most useful to you.
    3. If i want to attend the course ,what is the fees ?
    If you start from the Oracle Certication Program - View all certifications Page you can drill down the links from your chosen certification and drill down to the exams, course schedule and fees.

    If you select your country oracle will display the fees.
    Appreciate to hear the comment from your all :)
    Thanks.Also worth checking out the 2-day dba training and there is an associated exam (doesn't lead to a certification though).

    Training study and practice are more important than certification in my opinion.
    Also checkout the annoncements/blog/faq sticky posts at the top of this forum (And avoid offers of unauthorized material and practice tests)
