Thanks in Advance....Your only absolute mandatory expenditure is a the certification exam costs ... unless your particular certification objective also specifies a hands-on requirement.
I think you also need to frame your requirement as:
- ' I am planning to study the required level to take the certification exam(s) X and 'Y'.'
+-' - Relevant Oracle supplied self-study and CD ROMs seem currently outside of my budget'
- The 'free' and 'cheap' way to do it is by studying the appropriate official manuals. However a lot of people may find this too hard to work from these reference manuals.
--- There are some E-business books in the marketplace and to be published that may (or may noit) help, and I think some may be of poor quality.
- By the way I notice you have selected a course with pre-requisites. Either you have the required pre-requisite E-Business knowledge, or you dont.
--- If you do you'll find the manuals for your selected certification much easier,
--- if you dont there are some books in the marketplace (some probably bad, and some to be soon published), thoat may help in this respect.
- Sometimes there are third party suppliers/trainers who can help ... but the quality could be variable ..
If you think you've found cheap study material at a minimum check [www.certguard.com] to avoid unauthorised traning material.
Finally you could of course apply for employment at Oracle or for another employer who would pay for your training.

Help..Oracle could not trace my WDP hands on course for OCP 10g

Dear All,
Can somebody on Oracle (OTN team) could help me to validate & check my WDP hands on course as below detail :
Class Name :
ORACLE DATABASE 10G: ADMINISTRATION WORKSHOP II RELEASE 2 - WDP (D17092GC31S)
Location : CV Informit Indonesia
Student Id : 62156
Student Name : Zulfirman
Schedule : 25 March 2011 - 10 April 2011
(10 sessions @ 3 Hours)
I have put above information on VUE, but then come up an email response from oracle asking my hardcopy certificate course.
I have contacted the INFORMIT, they said it takes 2 up to 3 month to get the certification from OU indonesia.
Since it take long time to get the training certification, I come back emailing the oracle to ask for speed up, then they said they need to check further about my training detail.
FInally they come up with an email that asking me to ask INFORMIT to email the oracle confirming that i have already completed that course.
Worstly, i have not in that city anymore where the INFORMIT located, but i drop informit an email just now to forward oracle request to them.
Question :
1. Can someone help me to validate my training instead of waiting oracle with the emailing back - forward ?
2.Why ORacle unable to trace my detail WDP class above ? Is it because of a cheap WDP training so they dont provide a connected server between WDP training provider & OU or Oracle headquarter ?
3. The Hardcopy certification for WDP student take too long. What is the std lead time for WDP student to have thier training certifiaction ?
Thank You,
Zulfirman,PMP,OCA

Hi Brandye Barrington,
No,
they didnt provide me an exam voucer. For your info, i have already passed all the exam required for OCP track.Which is an indicator of something not right. Mabe not your fault. Maybe the Institution. Maybe WDP.
My goal to get this training is to refresh me about the topic & to claim my OCP status.
you can check my exam history using my ORacle Testing ID (or Oracle Certification Program ID): XXXXXXXXXXWell you've just 3.2 (iv) No Misconduction of the http://education.oracle.com/education/pdf/ocp_candidate_agreement_V0810.pdf of the agreement you make before taking this exam by disclosiing your Oracle Testing Id to another person ... aka the whole internet!
>
For your info,
I hve just got confirmation from my WDP training centre (Informit). They have emailed "[email protected]" to confirm that i have officialy registered with WDP training centre by showing to them (them = oracle) the screen shot or print screen of regsitration form from WDP website, where my name alrady been registered inside the WDP system.
Ho Ho Ho !! The WDP training center are well enoughton the ball to know that email address have been withdrawn. ( http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2011/03/email_alias_ocpexam_wworacleco.html ).
Perhaps that document does show a registration number.
Now i can only wait, wheter oracle still could not accpet that email from INFORMIT as a proof or i have to wait for my certification hardcopy (take 2 or 3 months ahead)
Emails can be faked. And I am reasonably certain a percentage of WDP Training centers would not apply the rules properly if they could get away with it.
If i still have to wait for the scan hardcopy certification, then for sure, i really upset with ORACLE, due they could not manage best communication & sychronization database between ORACLE - WDP TRanining Centre, & me as a unlucky candidate due to their bad communication on both system.
IMHO I can see from this and other threads that WDP or the training centers fail to publish clear and precise information of what is involved so the students can authoratively check on an oracle website. IMHO The WDP Traiing centers have a degree of control which they can use to mislead students.
And I assume you have access to the following :: https://workforce.oracle.com/pdf/html_rd/wdp_stu_reg.html?wdp0 ... and if not why not ? ( I dont .. i am not WDP).
If ORACLE is a great database company, then they must already predict such issue in early as possible instead of waiting such complaint raised in.
Oracle is Great. Larry is Great. Any Oracle RDBMS version with a zero in it may be a bad vintage.
But IMHO you may be right wrt WDP.
Again, Pls help me on this..
Besr Regards,
Zulfirman,PMP,OCAWhen one does training at OU the attendance is properly recorded and there are nless real issues with attendance not being recorded.
With WDP institutions as far as I can tell this is not perhaps as well auditted and there is perhaps room for shenanigans; faked attendance, etc.
As far as i know when WDP was started (oracle 9i) the students used to have to attend the whole track of a specially constructed coiurse to get the credi ( I used to call it a never mind the quality feel the width training). And the training was spread to ensure the pupil had time to absorb the training. And it might be taught by non Oracle Professionals. WDP can however now be used for a single session set of part of track being sufficient for the training requirement (This may be simply a never mind the quality appreciatethe cheapness approach).
This may all seem off topic for you.
However please realise Oracle Certification (whcih operates independently of WDP who do there own thing) need to establish training has been properaly attended. And if there is a loophole many WDP candidates wll rush towards it.
This however does give me a chance to kick Oracle to ensure WDP has its house in order.

CERTIFICATION DETAILS FOR ORACLE DATABASE 11gR2 (11.2.0.3) with Oracle 9i AS.

Hi,
My client is planning to upgrade from 10.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3 database(AIX 6L). Client having ORACLE 9I AS on different machine and connecting to 10.2.0.2. I am trying to check the certification details for this. but could not able to. Any references please?
I gone through MOS certification, but could not find any thing related to this combination.
I am in the way of checking further options as well..
Regards
DBA....

Well, seeing as how AS 10g has been gone since 2009 Oracle Application Server 10g 9.0.4 & 9.0.4.x (Doc ID 295948.1) I'm not sure an older version would be supported. Now, that's been superseded by an alleged lifetime support policy http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lifetime-support-technology-069183.pdf
but that probably has a funny definition of who's life.

Oracle AS or Instant Portal Training for Oracle Employees

Hi,
I noticed there is external training available for Oracle Portal. Is there any Oracle Portal training available for Oracle employees? If so, can you forward a link? I would appreciate it. Thank you.

No, if your application is a web application. (not client/server)
you need or Oracle AS 10g Enterprise Edition that include the Forms and report server.
or you can install only the Forms and Report Server standalone version.
all of this are expensive.

It's my 3000 post – Oracle ACE and Oracle employees

Hello,
So, this is my post number 3000. In this forum, it’s not so unique, but still I decided to dedicate it to the subject of Oracle ACE and Oracle employees.
Recently, Joel blogged about Carl awarded Oracle ACE (http://joelkallman.blogspot.com/2009/02/carl-backstrom-oracle-ace.html), after special efforts made by Sharon, because “the folks at the Oracle Technology Network decided that Oracle employees could no longer be awarded the ACE designation”. I truly wish I could write that Carl is a living proof of this decision being misguided. Unfortunately, I can’t. However, Carl’s case paints the situation in strong colors. Only after his death, Carl was honored with something that I’m sure seems so obvious to most of us.
I’m thinking that if this decision, not to award Oracle employees with Oracle ACE, was made sooner, people like Scott and Joel would not have awarded Oracle ACE, not to mention Tom Kyte, and probably others I’m not familiar with. Scott and Joel deals with APEX all day long, as part of their job, and this forum is not part of their day job description. Still, they find the time to help us all. Just look at the post counter of Scott. I’m amazed each time I see it. Scott, with all his experience, doesn’t limit himself to only the most complicated issues. You can see his replies, to the most basic issues, almost every day. Joel never failed helping me, and many others on this forum, every time there is an issue only he can help with. Scott and Joel were lucky, and have been awarded Oracle ACE, prior to this decision. Carl was less lucky, and as Joel wrote, I can’t think of anyone who better represent the true meaning and spirit of the Oracle ACE program.
The point I’m trying to make is that Oracle ACE should not be left for luck and timing, or place of work, for that matter. I’m sure that the OTN folks had best intensions when making this decision. I can understand that people might suspect favoritism toward Oracle employees; however, the solution shouldn’t be the easy one – no to every Oracle employee.
While writing, I can think of Tyler. He’s no longer a member of the APEX team, but we can still enjoy his wisdom and experience on this forum, not to mention his APEX dedicated blog entries, were he covers special and more complex aspects of working with this tool. I don’t know if Tyler qualifies to become Oracle ACE (and, of course, I’m only using him as an example) but it seems wrong to me not to even consider it, just because he happens to work for Oracle. I’m sure there are others like Tyler, in the other forums. I believe that this kind of behavior, by Oracle employees, should be encouraged, and not taken for granted. Certainly, they shouldn’t be penalized.
So, what all of this has to do with my 3000 posts? I believe I earned the right to call myself a frequent poster on this forum. As such, I know how time consuming this forum can be, not to mention the hard and tedious job of keep repeating the same answers to the same questions, keep pointing to old references, and such. So, I want to take this opportunity to thank all the active participants of this forum, Oracle employees and others. In spite of all the hardship, this forum can also be very rewarding, and at least for me, a very educated experience. I learned a lot in my attempts to help others. I can all heartedly recommend it to everyone who enjoys helping others, and enriching him /her self in the process.
Regards,
Arie.

If I understand you correctly, you ought to reinstall. At this point, even if you're able to resurrect this installation, it might be severely unstable. Mostly because of my proclivity for messing around with settings until I screw something up, I have a tremendous amount of experience with the recovery console, and my success rate is not inspiring. If you have data you need on the drive, your best course of action is to reinstall to a different boot drive, and once you’re able to boot, archive the files you want from the corrupted installation. Then you can wax both drives, restore the data and get everything back the way you want it. Getting your data back from the recovery console is basically a lost cause since it doesn't support wildcards (as in, you'd have to copy every freaking file one at a time).
I re-read the above paragraph, and it's not the clearest thing I've ever written, so if you need clarification on anything, let me know.

If your training isn't an authorized course from an authorized provider it won't help.
Yours was possilby an WDP course.
The problem is there can be some bad people out there.

How to enter a non-oracle employee"labor hours in Oracle PA"

Hi Friends,
I have an issue that "need to enter outside Oracle employee (who has not entered as employee in HRMS, but working as temporary only) labor hours in PA" (11.5.10.2) for a perticular Project.
Thanks in advance
Surya Dev

Hi Dina,
Thanks for the reply.
we are using 11i (11.5.10.2) and I checked in the same tab "expnd/costing" tab only (in Setup > System > Implemenion Options). But there is no check boxes as "Import Contingent Worker Timecards with Purchase Order Integration" and "Interface Contingent Worker Labor Costs".
Is there any profile options related to enable these options?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Prakash

Does OIM Connector for Lotus Notes support Domino certification authority?

Lotus Notes allows an Organization to register servers and users without stamping each server ID and user ID if you have migrated the certifier to a Domino server-based certification authority (CA).
A Customer has done such a migration to a server-based certification authority (CA), and therefore they have set up Notes and Internet certifiers to use the CA process.
So, now this Customer does not require access to the certifier ID and ID password.
Having enabled certifiers for the CA process, they can now assign the registration authority role to administrators, who can then register users and manage certificate requests without having to provide the certifier ID and password.
My question is: is this compatible with the requirements of Oracle Identity Manager Connector for IBM Lotus Notes and Domino Release 9.0.4, that, among other parameters, requires to specify CertPath (Complete file specification of the certifier ID to be used when creating certifier ID files) and CertPwd (Password of the certifier ID file)?
Regards,
Angelo Carugati

I quite new with OIM, but not at all... For sure, I need to configure a connector for Lotus Notes / Domino.
The main points in my question are (USING A connector for Lotus Notes / Domino):
- How can I create 1 user account (and related data), on different servers (IT Resources), with different "mail templates", when the data should be the same, and the user mail database, should only be a replica on the the 2nd server
- Maybe, I need to configure 2 distincts IT Resources, and run both (through Provisioning Policies), when I need to provision a user, as described in my scenario (above), right?
- In the 2nd server, I dont want the user to be created with a new mail database (neither new user data, as shortName, IDfile... ).
I want that same data, and a replicated mail DB is generated on the 2nd server (webmail server)
Is it possible, how can I configure this within OIM connector for Lotus Notes / Domino?

OCM exam and Oracle employee

Dears,
Could you pls let me know, if it is reality that, Oracle Employee does not pay for exam fees, including accommodation and travel fees and all of these expenses will be covered by ORACLE?

Thanks for your time.It's false. To my understanding, they only can claim the tuition of expense and exam fee for one time. Once the claim became valid, they should work for their employer and not resign within one year.

How to get a question in the course placed anywhere in the course and does not appear in the quiz result or total number of questions. Pretest would work except it can't go anywhere in the course (at least for me it can't)

How to get a question in the course placed anywhere in the course and does not appear in the quiz result or total number of questions. Pretest would work except it can't go anywhere in the course (at least for me it can't)

Use a normal question, and do not add the score to the total score. That will give you a correct score at the end. But the total number of questions, that system variable will still take into account all questions. You'll need a user variable, and calculate its value by subtracting 1 from the system variable cpQuizInfoTotalQuestionsPerProject. Same for the progress indicator if you want to show it?
Customized Progress Indicator - Captivate blog
If you want to allow Review, you'll have to tweak as well. You didn't specify the version, and all those questions I now mentioned.
And my approach, since you talk about only one question: create a custom question, because you'll have total control then.
