OCM - Prep

Dear All,
Is anybody preparing for the OCM exam?
I am preparing for OCM exam and would like to invite all to share the knowledge. I know there are many groups on the net but I did not find any group which is really active or seriously interested in OCM.
Serious candidates with self-deadlines about OCM can leave there mail-id here and I will contact them personally.
Together we can bring difference.
Regards

Absorbine,
Of course you can (and absolutely should) prepare for the OCM and Oracle themselves recommend that you do so:
"Take the time to get hands-on practice with all the exam objectives, especially on skills that you do not use regularly."
(http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=159)
Only a fool would walk into the OCM exam without having spent time preparing for it and the OP doesn't come across as a fool in his post. They also don't seem to be trying to 'fool' the OCM test, they simply seem to be seeking a group of like-minded individuals who can offer advice and guidance. I would think that the most useful thing about a group like that would be that they could set each other practical scenarios to work through so they can get used to the format.
I for one would welcome a 'support group' such as this to keep me going when I eventually knuckle down and shoot for my OCM.

Cannot Open SQL from Data Prep Editor (SQL Interface)

Hi,
When I Open SQL in Data Prep Editor: "There are no data sources defined. Please create one to continue."
I create a ODBC connections using the drivers bellow and I obtain always the same message ("There are no data sources defined.."):
Oracle in OraDb10g_home2
Microsoft ODBC for Oracle
MERANT OEM 5.2 32-BIT Oracle
I have installed and configured Essbase, release 11.1.1.2
Is posible that the SQL interface is not installed and configured with the Essbase Server?
How I can install and configure the SQL Interface? I need to do somethink else?
Thanks!

Through EAS select the server and right click and select properties. then go to the environment tab(I think) it should show everything you are licensed for. If this is a System 9 or higher, you should have it automatically. If it is 7X or below,then yoes it has to be licensed

Hi,
did you check which servers has FSMO roles?
You can do that via command prompt: netdom query fsmo
For forestprep you must do that on DC which have Schema Operations marter role.
Command
Domain controller
Number of times to run the command
adprep /forestprep
Must be run on the schema operations master for the forest.
Once for the entire forest
adprep /domainprep
Must be run on the infrastructure operations master for the domain.
Once in each domain where you plan to install an additional domain controller that runs a later version of Windows Server than the latest version that is running in the domain.
Note
Domains where you will not add a new domain controller will be affected by adprep /forestprep, but they do not require you to run adprep /domainprep.

Exchange 2013 fails Active Directory Prep

This is a new, new, installation of Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials followed by Exchange 2013, all on a single server that is also the DC, in a lab environment.   This is to replace an existing SBS2000 installation in a small business.
Server 2012 setup without any significant issues. The first pass at Exchange 2013 resulted in "access denied" when attempting to access the Exchange Management PS and login credentials failure for Exchange EAC (ECP).   After manually
adding the installation Administrator to a number of the Exchange security groups, I was able to access Exchange Manager. I checked that there was a mailbox associated with the Installation Admin ID, attempted to reset passwords and a number of other
things to no avail. I uninstalled Exchange (what a pain).
I reinstalled Exchange. As with the first time, no prerequisite errors and no installation failure alerts.   Again, I could not access Exchange Manager (access denied) or the EAC (login credentials failure).   This time, I was not
able change the security group permissions to gain access to Exchange Manager. Again, checked about everything there was to check on the web and found a reference to Exchange possibly not installing correctly due to lingering entries from the first install.
As I could not access Exchange Manager to perform the uninstall prerequisites, I attempted to manually delete it (nothing to loose at this point), but made the anticipated mess.
Wiped the RAID and started over with a clean sheet install of Server 2012 Essentials-OK. Progressed in the Exchange install prep to "Prepare Active Directory and Domains" (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125224(v=exchg.150).aspx)
and stopped when I could not detect the confirming ADSI entries of AD prep set forth at the close of the TechNet document.
I methodically stepped through the install procedure and again received no prerequisite failures or installation failure alerts. I examined the install logs and found no errors, either.
Any words of wisdom?

Hi,
From your description, Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials and Exchange 2013 are installed on a single server that is also the DC.
Microsoft does not support installing Exchange Server on a server that is running Windows Server Essentials. You need to install Exchange Server on a second server and then join the second server to the Windows Server Essentials domain.
And it is not recommended to install Exchange server on DC.
Here is a related article for your reference.

Exchange 2013 Domain Prep Fails: Setup /prepareschema, setup /PrepareAD, Setup /PrepareDomain

Whenever I try to prep for a 2013 exchange install I always get:
"earlier versions of the server roles that are installed were detected"
whenever I try to run Setup /prepareschema OR setup /PrepareAD OR Setup /PrepareDomain
I am working on a Server 2012 standard machine with Exchange 2010 currently installed. This server is a DC (bad I know), DNS, DHCP.
I am trying to prep the domain so that I can install Exchange 2013 on a VM and eventually remove Exchange 2010 from the organization altogether.
There are no other domain controlelrs in the domain. The domain started life as a SBS 2003 machine which was demoted and removed once the server 2012 box was up with exchange 2010 running.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is some info that may help:
1. PrePare Schema
Navigated an elevated command prompt to the folder with Exchange 2013 CU3.
Ran setup /PrepareSchema
This command should perform the following tasks:
A: Connects to the schema master and imports LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) files to update the schema with
Exchange 2013 specific attributes. The LDIF files are copied to the Temp directory and then deleted after they are imported
into the schema.
B: Sets the schema version (ms-Exch-Schema-Verision-Pt) to a Exchange 2013 value.
This command fails with: Earlier versions of server roles that were installed were detected.
First I confirmed that administrator account for domain is a member of schema admins and enterprise admins.
Next I ran asdiedit.
I navigated to: "CN=ms-Exch-Schema-Version-Pt,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=BDA,DC=LAN"
and reviewed the current "rangeUpper" attribute.
The ms-Exch-Schema-Verision-Pt is not updated to CU3 range Upper setting.
The current range upper 14734 which means its still at Exchange 2010 SP3 settings.
In short, updaing the schema fails.
2. Prepare Active Directory
Navigated an elevated command prompt to the folder with Exchange 2013 CU3.
setup /PrepareAD [/OrganizationName:<organization name>]
This command fails with: Earlier versions of server roles that were installed were detected.
schema update version 56
I began reviewing the long, long list of the following containers and objects under
CN=<Organization Name>,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=<root domain>
which are required for Exchange 2013:
missing cn=Auth Configuration
missing CN=ExchangeAssistance
missing CN=Monitoring Settings
missing CN=Monitoring Settings
missing CN=Monitoring Settings
missing CN=Workload Management Settings
Checked Management role groups within the Microsoft Exchange Security Groups OU
missing Compliance Management group --- Manually created this entry
Step 3 Prepare Domain:
Navigated an elevated command prompt to the folder with Exchange 2013 CU3.
Ran setup /PrepareDomain
This command fails with: Earlier versions of server roles that were installed were detected.
confirmed the following:
ObjectVersion property fails as it is still set to Echange 2010 sp3 - 13040
You have a new global group in the Microsoft Exchange System Objects container called Exchange Install Domain Servers-DONE
The Exchange Install Domain Servers group is a member of the Exchange Servers USG in the root domain.-DONE
On each domain controller in a domain in which you will install Exchange 2013, the Exchange Servers USG has permissions
on the Domain Controller Security Policy\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Manage Auditing and Security Log policy.-DONE
Thanks.

Whenever I try to prep for a 2013 exchange install I always get:
"earlier versions of the server roles that are installed were detected"
Hi,
That tells us that you are trying to run the prep on your combined DC and Exchange 2010 Server - That will not work. Run it on the Server where you plan to install Exchange 2013.
It is not mandatory to run this before the actuall Exchange install - It will run automatically for you, if it hasn't been done already and if you are logged on with an account with the proper permissions.

How to avoid OCM reinstall through OPatch when using EM Harvester?

Currently running OEM Grid Control 11g (11.1.0.1.1GC PSU) on an infrastructure repository database (11.2.0.1.2). Previously had OCM installed in every ORACLE_HOME in our environment. I removed all existing OCM installations and OCM Instrumentation in each database.
I then installed OCM (10.3.3.2.2) into the OMS_HOME in order to begin using the EM Harvester for all configuration uploads rather than multiple OCM installs. This went fine, and I began to see targets in MOS indicating GC as the data source rather than OCM. Good so far.
I then installed PSU 11.2.0.1.3 to the infrastructure repository database. During the patch installation, OPatch re-installed OCM into the database ORACLE_HOME without my knowledge. This caused some targets to appear in MOS with OCM as the data source again. At this point I had two sets of OCM processes running. I've confirmed that the patch caused the OCM reinstall by checking the opatch logs from $ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs, where I can see the fresh OCM install occur.
I then installed patch 9431704 to the MW_HOME/oracle_common ORACLE_HOME to resolve the 'FMW Welcome Page Application' target showing down in Grid Control issue. The patch went fine, but OPatch again reinstalled OCM, this time to MW_HOME/oracle_common and MW_HOME/utils. So at this point I had four sets of OCM processes running, which caused many duplicate targets to appear in MOS, again with OCM as the data source. Confirmed yet again that the OPatch session led to the new OCM installs by reviewing the logs.
I would like to exclusively use the EM Harvester to upload configuration details to MOS. Per the whitepaper in note 848962.1, "The only prerequisites for using an EMGC system to collect and upload configuration data to Oracle Support are that the EMGC OMS must be at least version 10.2.0.5, and there must be an OCM instance configured (and running in connected mode) in the Oracle Home of the OMS."
So this leads to my question. How can I continue to patch OMS, the repository database, and the target databases, while preventing OPatch from reinstalling OCM in every ORACLE_HOME it finds?
I understand that whitepaper's comment to mean that I only require OCM in the OMS_HOME and it should not run out of any other ORACLE_HOMEs in our environment. Should I simply allow OPatch to install OCM anywhere it wants, then pause them by running '$ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin/emCCR hold'? Is there a flag I can include when running 'opatch apply' to tell it skip OCM installation?

Thanks EricvdS, I think that will work. I plan to try it with my next PSU patch. It's not exactly what I wanted, since I'd prefer to avoid having OPatch installed at all (and thus have no ORACLE_OCM user and no OCM instrumentation in the database), and I believe the initial OPatch install will submit OCM data to MOS even before pausing it and setting it to disconnected mode, and I'd like to avoid that too.
I also have the feeling that I may be able to skip the OPatch install by not providing my email address and MOS password or CSI number when applying patches. I'll try that too.

Prep 2007 Upgrade - SQL to Get Clients Started

Prep for SAP 2007 - Some SQL to Get the Clients Started
(NOTE: Marilyn Pratt suggested I post this here since it is so general. If there is a better place, please let me know and I can move/post it there).
I have just started working with a customer doing international business; pre-payments and block payments are 90% of their business. They have not reconciled items for almost three years in SAP B1. In my discussions with them about SAP 2007, they wanted to be a bit more proactive in dealing with reconciliations before SAP 2007 arrived. In order to get them moving quickly, I wrote the following versions of SQL which identifies business partners with a zero account balance and open documents/journal entries (what easier way is there to start?). If you find yourself in a similar situation, you might want to utilize this SQL to gently guide your customers into looking at unreconciled/unmatched situations. The SQL is simple, but direct. It might be written a lot better, but the whole purpose was to get the customer to START doing something. Two side benefits; one, the results of the SQL provide 100% success in what they are doing and they gain some confidence in a new process, and two, the customer can run this on a daily basis to keep things clean. Once they are done with this easy-to-do phase, I will put something together that might help with those items needing more research.
Might have made a mistake while re-typing the SQL for this post, so check them out and leave a note if I typed something wrong, OK? Its not much, but hope these help those who might be in a similar situation!
(note the two dashed items are just info only and not do not need to be put in the actual SQL you write).

Hi,
What is the native vlan you are using ? If it is vlan number 2, then there is known bug CSCui73764
Symptom:
Flex mode APs 1130 & 1240 series, will not pass traffic, e.g. DHCP, ARP. on some wlans.
Conditions:
1) Flex connect local switching
2) AP 1240 or 1130
3) any version before 7.4.121.7
4) native vlan x, non working vlan y.
5) user unable to get ip address.
Workaround:
change the native vlan to an unexpectedly high number, so no wlan will ever get mapped to a bridge group number that high.
Further Problem Description:
telnet to the flex ap. here is an example. vlan 3 is the native vlan on the flex ap, it is correctly mapped to bridge group 1. now the wlan which will not work is the one, which is mapped to vlan2. see carefully below, the vlan 2 is mapped to bridge group 3. this is the instance where we hit the bug. so it can be any wlan-vlan-native vlan combination.

EBS 12.1.3 & OCM: few questions

Hi,
I would need some clarification when using Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) with EBS 12.1.3. I have multi-node (app node + db node in separate servers) EBS 12.1.3 environment where I've configured OCM as follows.
Installed OCM (setupCCR) and executed the following scripts in DB node:
$ORACLE_HOME/ccr/admin/scripts/installCCRSQL.sh collectconfig -s <SID> -r system
$ORACLE_HOME/ccr/admin/scripts/installCCRSQL.sh ebs_collectconfig -u apps -w <apps password>
In app node, I've installed (setupCCR) OCM under $ORACLE_HOME (10.1.2).
Is this correct?
In MOS, I see two entries in Dashboard -> Systems with types:
- Oracle E-Business Suite System
- Database Instance
Under "E-Business Suite System" there are two targets:
- Oracle E-Business Suite <ORACLE_SID>appsdb
---> Database Instance <ORACLE_SID>
Under "Database Instance"
---> Database Instance <ORACLE_SID>
If OCM is configured properly for EBS R12 what are the correct entries in Systems section? And, what targets (Oracle Concurrent Manager, Database Instance) should be under which entry?
Also, when raising an SR, there is only database host available in the host list. Is this correct?
Thanks for your replies in advance.

Help required in OCM-Order change management

Hi All,
I have to implement the Order change managment. I did few setting which are required and than i created ECR using release key. but using OCM it tells me to first make the changes in MATERIAL BOM than using transaction COCM i can make the changes in required production order.
But my requirement is i want to change the Production BOM or Production routing directly without touching Material BOM .
As sometime it happens only 1 or 2 Order BOM s are need to be changed only not the Material bom. So i want to track the Changes made in Order using OCM.
What is the solution that i can change the Production Bom OR Production Routing directly using OCM and also how can i make the changes in Sales Order.
Pls do the needful.
Thanks
Ravi Khurana

Using Order Change Management (change management for production orders), it is possible to include existing procurement elements (production orders, planned orders, purchase orders) that are also affected by a change, in the change process.
The change process in OCM is based on Initiating Objects. These initiating object records refer to changes in sales orders or in master data, which, in turn, necessitate changes to production orders.
Thus, it is not possible to change the order directly using OCM.

BPA shows domain prepped for Exchange 2007 SP1 after SP3 install

Hello,
I have a Client with a domain that is at 2003 domain functional level and 2000 forest level.
The client had Exchange 2007 SP1 and I have just upgraded it to SP3. There is one CAS, one Hub Transport, and one Mailbox Server (All three had Exchange 2007 SP1).
The domain and forest were prepped earlier by someone else and when I ran the installation program, it didn't pop up any errors on any of the servers.
The upgrade to SP3 is in preperation to Exchange 2010. Everything is working ok. I have checked:
1) In ADSIEdit, Exchange System Objects properties: Object Version =11221.
2) In ADSIEdit, Services>Microsoft Exchange>Organization: Object Version =11222
3) In ADSIEdit, RangeUpper value of ms-Exch-Schema-Version-Pt object = 14625
However, When I run the Exchange BPA, it reports that the domain is prepped for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (In informational items). This is an informational item and not a warning or alert. However, I am concerned. Is this normal, and will it affect
the migration to Exchange 2010?
Thanks,
HA

Hello Ha20,
Based on my experience, it will not affect the migration. However, it’s recommended to prepare the schema again to avoid any potential issues.

Oracle 11g , Administrator OCM certification

Hi,
I have completed OCP certification in the developers track by clearing in the following exams : 1Z0-007 , 1Z0-147 and 1Z0-146.
I wish to become an OCM in DBA track for Oracle 11g.
Going by the steps mentioned in the Oracle certification website, I saw that the path to become an OCM would be as :
1> OCA : Clearing 1Z0-007 / 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052 exams.
2> OCP : Clearing a certified hands on course followed by clearing 1Z0-053 exam and submitting a form as proof of clearing hands on training.
3> OCM : Clearing 2 of the certified courses , appearing for the OCM exam , submitting a form as proof for clearing the certified courses and submitting the required application kit.
Since, I have already cleared the exam 1Z0-007 , do I have to clear it again as part of becoming an OCA or will the previous clearing of this exam suffice ?
also , do I have to clear 1Z0-051 exam.
Please note , I have cleared 1Z0-007 around February 2010.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Haider

...I saw that the path to become an OCM would be as...The steps you have listed are correct.
Since, I have already cleared the exam 1Z0-007 , do I have to clear it again...No, the one exam will serve for both certification tracks. Exam results do not expire.

Prepping for Professional DVD replication

I am prepping my FCP movie for DVD authoring and I was wondering if the capability of Compressor is equal to that of the software a professional duplication house would be using the encode video?

You can get very good results from Compressor, more so when you have good footage going in. The professional houses have many many dollars of expensive equipment and often high end source to begin with, so it is a bit of an unfair comparison
That being said, between Compressor, bitVice, Digigami and CinemaCraft there are real good options on the Mac side of things that are affordable and which would do a very good job, and often people would not notice, other than pixel peeper types (generally) The difference is really going to be more from the fact of the source. Also, usually replication is used for professionals(?)
I guess it comes down to what you are considering professional in terms of results. (Not trying to be flippant on that one, just is a term that is hard to nail down without benchmarks.)

Substitution variable is not visible at Data Prep editor-creating rule file

Hi,
We are working on Essbase 9.3.1, Oracle as a database source for loading the data into Essbase.
We have create a substitution variable at "server level" to use it in rule file as a DSN for data source. But this substitution variable is not visible in the drop down of substitution variable in 'Data prep editor' while creating the rule file.
We restarted the Essbase server also but still it is not visible in 'data prep editor'.
Any help will appreciated on this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Mohit Jain

Cameron-
1) yes I've tried it on 2 different clients
2) yes I've tried it on the server
3) I haven't tried that, but don't normally use MaxL for anything
4) I took a 'broken' rule, saved it locally, closed and reopened and it still didn't work
5) I normally do files on the server, but I can't even get to that point because when I get the 'Open Data File' nothing happens, no dialog box pops up, so I don't get the chance to select the location
6) This is a production server and EAS is running as a service, so I'd have to test this one afterhours.
Because it happens on 3 separate PC's I'd eliminate bad EAS, since only some rules do it and others don't I'd think it could be corrupt rules, but it'll happen to new rules just as fast, and they still work just fine, so if that's the case I need to figure out what is corrupting them...
Network issues wouldn't surprise me, I get TCP/IP errors regularly saying I have to increase my net retry count, but I've tweaked with those settings tons... looks like those are really the database server is running out of memory even though I have 4GB physical 16MB Virtual memory (32 bit environment though... I do have the /3GB switch turned on)... I've had to scale my caches way back to allow certain databases to even function.
Thanks for your help.
