Oracle Database 11g Administrator or Oracle PL/SQL and Forms Developer?

Hi,
I am thinking about doing an Oracle certification course- Oracle Database 11g Administrator or Oracle PL/SQL and Forms Developer.
Oracle Database 11g OCP and OCM certification requires 3 mandatory training courses to be completed that costs between $1900 and $3250/each. Oracle PL/SQL certication doesn't require any mandatory training course.
Which one of these would be a good choice? Please advise.
Thank you,
Tracy

Regardless of which path you want to take, in order to get the OCP certification in either the DBA or PL/SQL developer track, you must first obtain the respective OCA certification for that track. I'm assuming that since you are still undecided in which path to take that you haven't started working on either yet. If you look at the pages for the OCA DBA and OCA PL/SQL Developer certs and what is required for each, you'll see that the first block of tests for either certification (the SQL based exams) has the same options (1Z0-007, 1Z0-047, 1Z0-051) and passing one of those SQL based exams gives credit towards obtaining both OCA certifications. That might be a good place to start.
Doing one of these tests first might give you some extra time to decide which track you want to pursue. But as Justin said, it really depends on what you do (or plan on doing) in your career as to which path might be more beneficial for you.
As for the OCM level stuff, I wouldn't even think about it until you get the OCP. One step at a time... Same with OCP before OCA. That being said, my suggestions are just that, suggestions. You're free to take any exams/courses in any order, but you won't be able to obtain the certs until you have completed the requirements for each.

I am now "Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Associate"

Hi
after very hard work I am now Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Associate. I attended courses (Admin I and SQL Fundamentals) 3 years ago. My Oracle knowhow is only the scope OCA 11g and have no Java know-how.
What should I do next?
- 1Z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Certified Expert
or
- 1Z0-803 Java SE 7 Programmer I
what is simpler?

I am searching for an easy winI'm not a big proponent of 'easy'. I'm much more a fan of 'worthwhile'. Determining what is 'easy' for you is not easy. It's hard enough figuring out what is easy for me. That said, a fast and dirty rule of thumb for comparing Oracle certifications is:
Easiest
OCA -- Broad range of topics -- shallow depth
OIS -- Narrow range of topics -- moderate depth (Implementation Specialist -- dunno if they really have an accepted acronym)
OCP -- Broad range of topics -- moderate depth
OCE -- Narrow range of topics -- considerable depth
OCM -- Whole different ballgame -- perform or fail
Hardest
Since you are asking about an OCA exam vs an OCE exam, the basic answer is going to be that the OCA exam is easier. That doesn't take into account you. For all I know, you might be mentally allergic to Java and learning it may be the hardest thing you've ever done.

Oracle Database 11g: Administration Workshop I Lab files

Hi, I was trying to do the practicals for the above workshop, but i cant seem to locate the lab files from the directory/home/oracle/labs.
This is what happened when i try to run the lab file script.
[oracle@localhost ~]$ /home/oracle/labs
[oracle@localhost ~]$ ls
Desktop labs
[oracle@localhost ~]$ cd labs
[oracle@localhost ~]$ ls
cloneDBCreation.sql lockAccount.sql postScripts.sql
CloneRmanRestore.sql orcl.sh rmanRestoreDatafiles.sql
init.ora orcl.sql ultraSearchCfg.sql
initorclTemp.ora postDBCreation.sql
I was told to run the script: $ sqlplus dba1/oracle @lab_06_02_4.sql, but apparently there's no lab files for me to run the script.
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
Many thanks in advance! :D

Hey all. I'm trying to figure out if the class "Oracle Database 11g: Administration Workshop I Release 2" counts toward OCP certification.

It'd be a pretty spectacular waste of $3000 to take a class that doesn't count toward OCP if that's what I'm going for. :) Help appreciated!
From the UK on the link you refer to I currently see (under 11g OCP section .... ) (There is an OCP and OCM section as well).

The course you mention appears to me to be second from bottom.
Very occasionally these webpages can unintentionally vary from country to country.
Sorry ... misunderstood, either the (release 1 or release 2 will count). I am not authorative on this but they are not that cruel. The main general issue is 10g classes typically cannot be used for an 11g OCP. Please note I am not authorative on this but I am as sure as I can be about the principle. Check with your local Oracle University if you need to be authoratively sure.

Oracle BI EE Administration Tool Not starting up

Hi All,
I have installed BI EE on windows xp and when I tried to start the Administration tool nothing happens. Can anyone assist please.
Regards
Remeez

Hi,
Probably I found a workaround to this problem: runas command. This gives a possibility to start admintool using an other user. You can find runas command syntax here http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/runas.mspx?mfr=true.
In my case, I changed Administration shortcut Target (Start -> Oracle Business Intelligence -> Administration and right click properties) to this: C:\WINDOWS\system32\runas.exe /user:RISTOS-XP\administrator C:\OracleBI\server\Bin\AdminTool.exe
I first tried this (thanks to my old gollege in Oracle Finland) as right click admintool.exe and selecting " Run as" and then "The following user:" and Administrator of my computer. I'm not sure, why I have this starting problem, maybe because I have to use Domain\UserId login. My domain login belongs to the local administrators group, but for some reason in this case it is not enough ..

Oracle Business Intelligence Administration Tool for Windows

I am having issues installing Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Client on Windows 7 32 bit.
This is how we set up our server:
- OBIEE 11g Server is installed and configured in RHEL 5 64bit.
(We have installed and configured Oracle Database, RCU and the OBIEE)
- Our users are working on a Windows 7 32 bit and they are the one who will be accessing the BI Server.
I have come across a bunch of information regarding our setup. I am sure that our BI Server is working properly as a matter of fact, we can now use Oracle Warehouse Builder of the BI Server.
According to Metalink Doc Id: 417656.1, OBIEE Tools are only available in Windows platforms. I beleive this is the reason why we only configured OWB in our BI server (which is in RedHat) and we cannot find a way to configure OBIEE Admin Tools. But when I read the doc id, it applies to 10g versions of BI Server, what about 11g? Is there a way to configure and use OBIEE Admin tools from the BI Server in Linux?
Also, according to the official docs:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10539/c4_installing.htm#CEGEHEJF
4.6.1 Installing Oracle Business Intelligence Client Tools
"..If you installed Oracle Business Intelligence on a computer running a Linux, UNIX, or 64-bit Windows operating system, and you want to use Oracle Business Intelligence client tools, you must perform the following additional steps..."
So in my own understanding, this fits our current setup. Is this the correct solution so we can access OWB of the BI Server and use BI Admin tools from our 32 bit windows?
Also, I have read many bloggers and users having issues in Windows 7? Following the official docs i pasted here which has steps 1-3, is Windows 7 supported by Oracle Business Intelligence 11g?
Any help, confirmation (with credible basis) and further questions about this issue will be very much honored. Thanks a lot!

Hi ,
Oracle BI for CC&B has few Standard(Demo) reports packaged with this software for example CI_CSEOPN (Case by Type and Age), If we need to know the logic of this report where do we find the information as the code for this report is not user friendly which is mainly stored as functions and not understandable, Please let me know if you have any information to get the logic of this report.

Oracle Buisness Intellegence Administration Tool/Multiple users

I am trying to have two people work together on a project on 1 server, both people are remoteing into the server.
The built in administrator account can use the administration tool without any problems but any other user I create on the server level I get "Incomplete Oracle Bi Server Suite configuration" message, these new users have full administrative privledges,
Any ideas, or if this can even be done....
Thanks
Joe

Why do you need the other users to login to the server? All they should need is to use the Admin Tool which they can run from their PCs. OBIEE Server is setup to run from one account, you can't run multiple BI Servers on the same Server.

Can not create a new portal using Oracle and the Administration tools.

Using the Personalization Server admin tool. My database is Oracle 8.0.5
(NT). I used the db/oracle/create* scripts to the create the necessary
database tables. I was able to successfully create users, groups, and
portlets, but when I try to create a Portal I'm getting the following
exception.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you.
Marko.

Marko,
I know I answered you through support, but for the benefit of the newsgroups
When using Oracle, you must run the sql scripts provided. The
insert-pzsamples-oracle.sql script is included in the create-p13n-oracle.sql
scripts. This script includes inserting information into the tables that are
required for creating new portlets. In particular, inserts to the
WLCS_SCHEMA table and inserts to the Meta Data tables (*MD*) are required.

OCA Oracle DB 11G Administration I

Good morning everyone,
I passed my 1st exam SQL fundamentals few weeks ago and now I want to pass the Administration I to get my OCA.
I purchased the book with the CD.
I was wondering if there are any PowerPoint slides that would summarize each chapter to help me in my study.
I really prefer those slides compared to the summary at the end of each chapter...
I have found one on google which is very useful, "Oracle Architectural Components".
Thanks

Oracle Database 11g Administrator

Hello all,
Is the Oracle DBA certificate enough to land a job? If not, what other courses/certificates does one need?
Thanks in advance

Thanks in advanceProbably not.
Most organisations seeking DBA's (to do DBA work) will also require experience.
The courses / certifications can show the knowledge, they can't do the experience.
Traditiionally a lot of DBA's came into the job having demonstrated the aptitude elsewhere.
That said with the market as it is at the moment methinks some organsations are demanding a call centre chai wallah has an Oracle DBA Certification. (I hope I am exagerating ... I fear I am a little too close to the truth though).
IMHO It's generally most useful when certifications either match a persons' experience or contiguously extend from their experience.
If it's an entry level job you're after and I was intervieiwing that an ISEB(testing); ITIL (foundation) (or COBIT) and good SQL (Even SQL Certified Expert) or entry level Microsoft ought to be more appropriate. But it doesn't alway work that way. And an ISEB(Testing) would probably not help you get a DBA job interview.
If you've recently had an educational background and you course was relevant to an Oracle DBA that might help a lot.
If after all that you continue with Oracle DBA courses/certification and no experience then IMHO SQL certified Expert, ITIL, and PL/SQL OCA certiifcations might help compensate for the experience ... but dont expect many employment agencies or employers to see it that may.
Please be aware these comments have just about as much chance of being correct as bigdelboy sailing to Havenpool without ending up on a sandbank.

The course I did to gain OCP certification in Oracle Database 11g does not appear on the courses submission list on the website of pearson vue.

The course I did to gain OCP certification in Oracle Database 11g does not appear on the courses submission list on the website of pearson vue, I sent an email to [email protected] from < email address deleted by moderator >, without an answer in 7 days since 01/28/2015, the email is below, the title of my course is in Portuguese. What should I do in this case ?
Dear Oracle.
I am sending this email because recently I passed in the exam 1Z0-053 Oracle Database 11g: Administration II, which is the last examination necessary to acquire the OCP Certification. However, in the path to the certification I need to prove that I participated in an Oracle Official Training.
Searching for the course on the pearson vue site, I have not found the course name on the list. So I am sending this email with the course information required for certification. I attended to the course in college FIAP (http://www.fiap.com.br/en/conheca-a-fiap/parcerias-estrategicas/), in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, from March/2010 to March/2011. Accessing the link above is possible to verify that the educational institution is an Oracle Partner. The title that I got was "Graduate in Oracle Database Management".
In this email I attached a copy of the FIAP Certified Course (front.jpg certificate, certificate back.jpg). I’m also sending the data from my profile in the pearson vue site (Pearson VUE - My profile.pdf), and my scores in the exams for OCP certification (1Z0-051.pdf, 1Z0-052.pdf, 1Z0-053.pdf ).
If you need any further information just let me know and I will provide.
Please acknowledge this information and grant me the OCP certification (Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Professional).
Regards.
Italo Moisés dos Santos.
Oracle Testing ID: < deleted by moderator >

Sorry, I expressed myself badly.
When I access http://www.pearsonvue.com/oracle/course/ and start submission process of the course, in the first step “Select the track for which you have completed a certification requirement” I selected the option “Oracle Database 11g Administrator OCP”, in the second step I selected “ILT = Instructor Led Training”, but when I got on the third step “Which course or requirement did you complete?” I have to choose the course name that I did, the course name that I did does not appears in that list, so I do not know which one to select, even having at the end of the form the option “Other ...(Course or requirement is not shown above. Please enter title below.)” the course name I did is in Portuguese/Brazil, the name is “MBA em gestão de banco de dados oracle” in Portuguese, which in English would look like "Graduate in Oracle Database Management".
I sent an email to [email protected] containing the information that I found necessary to obtain certification.
But if I have to do the process in the pearson vue site, should I put the course name in Portuguese or in English ?
Only the email I sent is not enough ?
Thanks for the help, and sorry for my english !

Oracle database 11g certification for Java developer

Hello,
I'm Java developer, OCPJP 6 ( Oracle Certified Professional, Java Programmer +6+ ) and
I decided to pass exams: 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052 to get OCA ( Oracle Database +11g+ Administrator Certified Associate ) certificate,
but I need some advice, maybe i should seek other certificate, that would be more valuable for Java developer, than OCA.
Thanks for advice.

The answer of whether a particular certification is valuable depends on you, not the tests themselves. The Oracle Certified Master for example is an extremely prestigious certification, and I have considered seeking it at some point in the future to improve my professional credentials. However, the same certification would have absolutely no value to my wife, because she's a homemaker with no interest or intent of ever working with Oracle.
Using an example a little closer to yours, only reversed --- I work as a DBA and PL/SQL developer. On several occasions I have dabbled with Java, and took a couple of classes when I worked for Oracle. I could code in Java if I had to, but wouldn't really be good without a lot of practice. However, I've never really had a sufficient need in my work to dig in and really practice enough to use it. I considered going for the Oracle Java certifications as a means of kick-starting that and getting to the point where it was really a viable option in my development. Ultimately I decided not to because I've been working with Oracle for better than fifteen years and there has never been an occasion where I really felt a need to know Java. If I were to spend a bunch of time improving my Java skills just for the certification, there's no guarantee I would ever use them after that.
Coming back to you -- if you already need SQL and DBA skills in your work, then those certifications should be of value to you immediately. If you think that you might work (or want to work) more with SQL and DBA-level skills in the future, then they should be of value to you in the future. If you won't use the skills now or ever, then the exams do nothing but add a line to your resume (which still has value, but you must determine how much).

Preparing for Oracle OCA 11g using an Oracle Express 10g database

As a software application developer, I have been considering Oracle certification for a while to enhance my skill set. Unfortunately I don't have access to a commercial Oracle installation, and would like to use a free version of Oracle Express during my studies. The latest OCA courses largely focus on Oracle 11g, and it would appear that there is no free (Express) 11g database available yet.
Could anyone please advise me whether it would be possible and practical to prepare for the 1Z0-051 Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I and 1Z0-052 Oracle Database 11g: Administration I exams using an Oracle Express 10g database instance, while accompanied by the relevant Oracle 11g study material? In other words, is the overlap between Oracle 10g and 11g sufficient that a solid understanding of 10g could allow me to successfully sit the 11g exams? Furthermore, would the Express edition of the database provide sufficient functionality to prepare for the Administration exam?

(http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=1080544&lang=US&p_exam_id=1Z0_051 says Exam 051 has been validated against Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Database 11g. Training on either version will be appropriate preparation.).
For 1z0-052 the situation is different. Oracle 10g express edition hides some of the administration tasks ... you really need to be using 11g.
If you dont waht Oracle 11g all over your regular machine then I would typically recommend install Oracle Enterprise Linux either on a spare machine with a dual core or HT processor and with 2GB or more of memory (eg Dell gx280 or better); or using a virtualisation solution on your current machine (ram would need to be 3GB or higher) (eg virtualbox or whatever ... though windows as a guest can have a license issue).
