Oracle certification Planning/essbase

Gurus,
I am thinking about getting oracle training/certification, which my company is planning to sponsor. I was wondering if someone can suggest some sites or some resources that helps in the certification exams. For example, there seems to be some vendors that sell some kind of preparation sample tests, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks

Hi ,
As John mentioned , posting any questions in forum will means cheating.
I will proabbaly suggest you couple of things to clear it.
1. make sure you have good basic concept.
2. With basic try to have some practical knowledge with some excercices solved as per Bootcamp.
3. From admin part try to explore folders and hierarchy of Hyperion.
4. Have fair knowledge about the logs and what all that it contains.
Please let us know if you have any more questions.
Thanks,
KKT

Oracle EPM Planning 11.1.2.1 - Ziplogs utility not working on all servers

Oracle EPM Planning 11.1.2.1 - Ziplogs utility not working on all servers
We have Planning 11.1.2.1 distributed so that Planning web app, EAS etc. are on own webservers and Essbase is on separate cluster.
Currently we have an issue with ziplogs utility - it seems to work on Essbase servers gathering all necessary ODL logs for over 100MBs, but on Planning Webservers ziplogs utility seems to start, but generates only empty 1kb zip file without any content.
We haven't touched logging otherwise, everything should be pretty much in original state.
Unfortunately I can't remember now exactly, but I have a a hunch that ziplogs utility worked prior patching Planning element on webservers to 11.1.2.1.600.
Other servers or elements haven't been patched (although Oracle recommends also FS, EB etc. to be patched to 11.1.2.1.600). I'm wondering, could this be the reason as in a way FS and EB are on same patching level whereas Planning is not?
Also, there seems to be a bit of limited diskspace on webservers (still waiting for extension), but I would imagine lack of diskspace for preparing any temp files etc. would results in some errors, the problem is that ziplogs doesn't give any errors, just runs very short time and then ends bringing 1kb empty file.
Has anyone experienced anything similar and are you perhaps able to give quick guidance how to enhance or modify ziplogs batch file etc. to make it create a bit of logging of its own actions?
Thanks in advance if anyone has ideas what could be the root cause for this or faced something similar.

Okay, I was able to get it installed and Common Components installed correctly this time. I still can't access workspace though.
Is there something I need to do before I can browse to http://localhost:19000/workspace/index.jsp?
All I get is the following error:
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
Anyone know what's going on?

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?

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 Certification Exam for AIA

Does Oracle have any certification exam for AIA Developer & Expert like similar exam in other technical & functional stream?
If not, is Oracle is planning to lunch that in near future?
Thanks
priyadarshi.

Hi Priyadarshi,
There is no certification exam as of now. However, Oracle University offers trainings on AIA both instructor-led and self-paced online. The Foundation Pack Training is especially useful and often required for any one working with AIA. You may access them at http://education.oracle.com.

Oracle certification knowledge

Hi All,
I am working as an Oracle DBA from last 8 months and planning to write Oracle Certification on 11g (OCA & OCP etc). please guide me What Is process and are there any books or Material available for this certification courses.
Thanks in advance.
-Hari

... this is mandatory to achieve your OCP credential because without attending at least one module's training from OU ... IF I may, this is really an unfortunate requirement:
1) I passed my OCA11g. Given the economic situations, my company is "dragging" its legs in sending me to the required training from OU because of the costs it involves.
2) Plus, OU hardly ever comes to my state (probably due to low demand). So, if my company were to send me to the training, it'll have to be out of state, which means more expenses. Which unfortunately also means lower chances of me ever making it to the training classes; and consequently, me ever getting my OCP certifications.
I haven't given up on Oracle or anything like that YET; because we're still using Oracle at my workplace. However, since we also use MSSQL (used for the 3rd party applications that doesn't connect to Oracle), I have moved on to prepare for my MSSQL 70-432 exams and will probably continue on with the MCDBA path.
Given the economic situations, it's damn hard for companies to cough up 3000 for the class and 1-2 k more for out of state travel to attend the class. I'm not at all happy with this requirement.There are two things that might help to cut costs, but they probably wont.
- (1) Remember online (LVC) courses will satisfy the requirement.
- (2) Some of the satisfying courses course are 3 day (though you probably shoudn't take most of these until you have passed your 1z0-053 or reached that standard) ... and these are cheaper.

Optimal configuration of laptop in order to install EPMA 11.1.x (Planning & Essbase), VM Ware.

Hi,
I am planing to buy a new laptop and looking for optimal configuration of laptop in order to install EPMA 11.1.x (Planning & Essbase) to be run on VM Ware.
Can you please suggest?
Thanks.

I have an old Lenovo W520 with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB Samsung Evo 840 SSD. I have Planning, Essbase, EPMA, FR, Calc Manager and Oracle 12c running (version 11.1.2.4) on Windows Server 2012 R2.
16GB of RAM will allow you to run a compact deployment, but probably not a "regular" deployment. I don't like compact deployments as they can make it difficult to troubleshoot issues with individual products.
I recommend 32GB of RAM. I also recommend an SSD rather than a regular hard drive. Quad-core processor is a must-have.
I would look at either a Lenovo W541 (not the new W550s as it tops out at 16GB of RAM) or a Dell Precision M4800 or M6800. If you really want to go nuts, check out Digital Storm/Clevo/Sager, where you can custom build your laptop. These three appear to use the same components.
Check out my blog where I illustrate step-by-step how to get Hyperion Planning running on a laptop. I should have the last posts in the series up this weekend.

Thanks in advance.From the information you have given the:
Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate ( http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=458&get_params=p_track_id:PLSQL )
Would seem to be a suitable target certification.
I would suggest this is best achieved via study for the 1z0-051 and 1z0-144 exams. In general most people would consider studying for 1z0-051 (SQL) first.
matthew ... who regularly posts here .... has a comprehensive set of certification safe certificaiton resources for these exam here: http://www.oraclecertificationprep.com/apex/f?p=OCPSG:Exams:0::NO::::
There is no mandatory training for this certification, but oracle do recommend certain courses if you need them. As you have a some SQL knowledge you might wish to purchase the book by Watson for 1z0-051 as a low cost introduction. Also browse the website at http://certification.oracle.com

Please guide.

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.

Dependent Certification - Plan Type

Hi,
Currently we are setting up the Dependent Certification in the Program Enrollment Requirements -> Dependent Coverage -> Plan Type -> Life Event Change..
I am determining the certification requirement using fast formula (Dependent Certification Required)
If we have 4 plan types and 2 certifications (ssn + birth certificate), the certification requirement records will be created for 4 plan types.
For example two dependent will be having 16 certification records.
I guess this will be a time consuming process to certify each dependent.
Will it cause any problem in the enrollment if we received the certifications for one plan type, no need to create certifications for other plan types by using fast formula or any workaround to avoid this?
Did someone come across this situation?
Thanks
Arun

Oracle certification or SCWCD 1.5

Hi all,
I have completed scjp 1.5 in Auguest. Noe planning to start SCWCD. But I think it is better to do Oracle certification than SCWCD. Please advice. Because then i will be certified in Oracle as well as in java.
Please give your ideas.
regards,
Sajitha

as you seem to care more about the number of certifications than about what you're actually certified in (otherwise you'd not ask such a question) you should just choose the easiest...
MCSE, MCSD, stuff like that, are a lot easier than Oracle of SCWCD, so are perfect for you.
After that, Websphere certification, RedHat, and tons of others. Just go on cramming without learning anything and stuffing that resume with useless certs and you should get a job with Wipro in short order so you can be given an illegally attained H1b and sent to the USA.

Oracle certification doubt ....

Hi ,
I am using oracle db seens last 8 months in my project .
Currently i am giving SCJP exam for Java certification next month(as in my project we are using java as front end and oracle 11i as backend ).
just after that i am planning to go for Oracle certification .
but i am not sure which certification i should go for ...
for more details : i am working as software engg (developer) and have basic idea about SQL queries , procedure,functions,cursors etc..
I want to do certification which will add a value to my career as developer so that it will help me in IT industry.
thanks a lot.

My personal suggestion (any others may say differently) is :
(1) concentrate on on your SCJP first. i know your probably young, but keep focused on that and dont get distracted.
If you successfully clear that, aim to do :
(2) Aim to do 1z0-051 next (11g-SQL) ( Hint: There's an Oracle Press Book focusing on this exma).
(3) Next do Do 1z0-144 after that. (11-gPL/SQL)
This should give you a PL/SQL developer OCA certification.
choosing to d 1z0-051 / 1z0-144 looks initially more daunting than the 1z0-007/1z0-147 alternatives but I personally would regard the former as more modern and relevant exams( I may be the only who thinks this way though).

But the most important thing is to keep focused on getting the SCJP first

Oracle.jbo.NoDefException: JBO-25002: Definition oracle.epm.planning.applic

All,
Want some pointers to the error that I am running into. The application supports webcenter and when we bring up the web page we get the error below
oracle.jbo.NoDefException: JBO-25002: Definition oracle.epm.planning.application.ui.DataControls of type null is not found
caused by the nested error Caused by: oracle.mds.core.MetadataNotFoundException: MDS-00013: no metadata found for metadata object "/oracle/epm/planning/application/ui/DataControls.dcx"
at oracle.mds.core.MetadataObject.getBaseMO(MetadataObject.java:1279)
There is no file called DataControls.dcx under the "/oracle/epm/planning/application/ui/ package.
How do we remove the runtime reference that webcenter still seems to hold onto?
Any help is really appreciated.

It supports WebCenter Customizable Components tag library in the ViewController project. The DataControls.dcx file which was under the oracle.epm.planning.application.ui package was still present under the classes folder. Since this file was deleted from the JDEV view it seemed that it should not be included. It worked on my environment but not for others who did not have the file stored under classes folder under the ViewController project.
I have the problem resolved now. Thanks for all the pointers.

SOS!!!!----Error for Loading data from Oracle 11g to Essbase using ODI

Hi all.
I want to load data from oracle database to essbase using ODI.
I configure successfully the physical and logical Hyperion essbase on Topology Manager, and got the ESSBASE structure of BASIC app DEMO.
The problem is.
1. When I try view data right click on the essbase table,

I got answer from Oracle Supporter It's ok, just omit it. Then the second problem appear.
2. I create an interface between oracle database and essbase, click the option "staging area deffirent from target"(meaning the staging is created at oracle database), and using IKM SQL to Hyperion Essbase(metadata), execute this interface

Hi ethan.....
U always need a driver to be present inside ur <ODI installation directory>\drivers folder.....for both the target and the source......Because ojdbc14.jar is the driver for oracle already present inside the drivers folder ....we don't have to do anything for it.....But for Essbase ...you need a driver......If u haven't already done this.....try this.....
Hope it helps...
