On the left side of this page you will see a 'Software' link. Via this link you can subscribe to an Oracle Technology track. The current cost is $200 per year.
The Windows NT Platform track, for instance, comes with about a dozen CDs that have the software and documentation for the database, IFS, IAS, etc.
As new versions come out Oracle will ship you, at no charge, a new set of CDs.
You can't beat this deal if you want get your hands on the latest stuff.

Any Suggestions on Oracle Forms Book for Beginners?

Hi Everyone,
I want to learn Oracle Forms development. What book or references can you suggest for beginners like me?
Thanks in advance... :-)

Not read it but http://www.amazon.co.uk/Oracle-Developer-Techniques-Bulusu-Lakshman/dp/0672318466 seems to get good reviews.

What are the best books for PL/SQL and Forms for BEGINNERS?

I asked about learning Oracle Forms in an earlier thread. Some suggested Oracle training at official Oracle Training centers like Koenig. I just went to the Koenig site. The OCA & OCP Forms Developer Training Boot Camp is a whopping 2,610 USD. That’s like 1/4 Million LKR. It’s more that the yearly salary of both the 2 new developers we got and want to train. That’s out of the question.
Some have suggested shadowing experiences programmers and team coding. Both options are out, since those things don't work here.
Learning from sites such as Francois Degrelle's blog is no good for new people since they will get confused.
I have come to the conclusion that the only way to do is to buy 2 books, one for PL/SQL and another for Oracle Forms, give it to them and ask them to follow the book and learn it and also give a time period like 2 or 3 months.
What are the good books out there for BEGINNERS to learn PL/SQL and Forms?

In addition to the books the chapter Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals in the documentation is also worth giving a shot:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14251/toc.htm
Just for the record: I believe leaving them alone with the books won't do it. I'd at least define objectives (e.g. $chapters of the books in a week) and after they achieved them I'd test their knowledge of the individual objectives (like it was back in school :p ). By that you have control over how they are proceeding, you can focus on the things they didn't understand and you are able to eradicate some bad habits they might adopt during their studies.
If you don't take your time to train them proper you won't get good developers anyway and you will loose much more time and money...
cheers

Oracle8 For Beginners

I bought a copy of this book from Oracle to get a leg up on 8.0.5
on Linux. The book is actually targetted to the NT interface,
but there are occasional references to XWindows. It refers to
lots of important utilities like OEM that do not seem to be a
part of Linux Oracle 8.0.5. Is anyone else trying to reconcile
the info in this book with the distribution?
Thanks in advance.

This does pertain to your question....
Oracle Enterprise Manager requires an Enterprise Edition of the
server which is not currently implemented (but I read in another
thread that it is coming in mid February)
Can't wait for that Enterprise Edition ;-)

The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server ...

Our setup is that we have two databases; a SQL Server 2008 database and an Oracle database (11g). I've got the oracle MTS stuff installed and the Oracle MTS Recovery Service is running. I have DTC configured to allow distributed transactions. All access to the Oracle tables takes place via views in the SQL Server database that go against Oracle tables in the linked server.
(With regard to DTC config: Checked-> Network DTC Access, Allow Remote Clients, Allow Inbound, Allow Outbound, Mutual Authentication (tried all 3 options), Enable XA Transactions and Enable SNA LU 6.2 Transactions. DTC logs in as NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService)
Our app is an ASP.NET MVC 4.0 app that calls into a number of WCF services to perform database work. Currently the web app and the WCF service share the same app pool (not sure if it's relevant, but just in case...)
Some of our services are transactional, others are not.
Each WCF service that is transactional has the following attribute on its interface:
[ServiceContract(SessionMode=SessionMode.Required)]
and the following attribute on the method signatures in the interface:
[TransactionFlow(TransactionFlowOption.Allowed)]
and the following attribute on every method implementations:
[OperationBehavior(TransactionScopeRequired = true, TransactionAutoComplete = true)]
In my data access layer, all the transactional methods are set up as follows:
using (IDbConnection conn = DbTools.GetConnection(_configStr, _connStr))
using (IDbCommand cmd = DbTools.GetCommand(conn, "SET XACT_ABORT ON"))
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
using (IDbCommand cmd = DbTools.GetCommand(conn, sql))
... Perform actual database work ...
Services that are transactional call transactional DAL code. The idea was to keep the stuff that needs to be transactional (a few cases) separate from the stuff that doesn't need to be transactional (~95% of the cases).
There ought not be cases where transactional and non-transactional WCF methods are called from within a transaction (though I haven't verified this and this may be the cause of my problems. I'm not sure, which is part of why I'm asking here.)
As I mentioned before, in most cases, this all works fine.
Periodically, and I cannot identify what initiates it, I start getting errors. And once they start, pretty much everything starts failing for a while. Eventually things start working again. Not sure why... This is all in a test environment with a single user.
Sometimes the error is:
Unable to start a nested transaction for OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "ORACLSERVERNAME". A nested transaction was required because the XACT_ABORT option was set to OFF.
This message, I'm guessing is happening when I have non-transactional stuff within transactions, as I'm not setting XACT_ABORT in the non-transactional code (that's totally doable, if that will fix my issue).
Most often, however, the error is this:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "ORACLSERVERNAME" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
Now, originally we only had transactions on SQL Server tables and that all worked fine. It wasn't until we added transaction support for some of the Oracle tables that things started failing. I know the Oracle transactions work. And as I said, most of the time, everything is just hunky dorey and then sometimes it starts failing and keeps failing for a while until it decides to stop failing and then it all works again.
I noticed that our transactions didn't seem to have a DistributedIdentifier set, so I added the EnsureDistributed() method from this blog post: http://www.make-awesome.com/2010/04/forcibly-creating-a-distributed-net-transaction/
Instead of a hardcoded Guid (which seemed to cause a lot of problems), I have it generating a new Guid for each transaction and that seems to work, but it has not fixed my problem. I'm wondering if the lack of a DistribuedIdentifier is indicative of some other underlying problem. I've never dealt with an environment quite like this before, so I'm not sure what is "normal".
I've also noticed that the DistributedIdentifier doesn't get passed to WCF. From the client, I have a DistributedIdentifier and a LocalIdentifier in Transaction.Current.TransactionInformation. In the WCF server, however there is only a LocalIdentifier set and it is a different Guid from the client side (which makes sense, but I would have expected the DistributedIdentifier to go across).
So I changed the wait the code above works and instead, on the WCF side, I call a method that calls Transaction.Current.EnlistDurable() with the DummyEnlistmentNotification class from the link above (though with a unique Guid for each transaction instead of the hardcoded guid in the link). I now havea DistributedIdentifier on the server-side, but it still doesn't fix the problem.
It appears that when I'm in the midst of transactions failing, even after I shut down IIS, I'm unable to get the DTC service to shutdown and restart. If I go into Component Services and change the security settings, for example, and hit Apply or OK, after a bit of a wait I get a dialgo that says, "Failed ot restart the MS DTC serivce. Please examine the eventlog for further details."
In the eventlog I get a series of events:
1 (from MSDTC): "The MS DTC service is stopping"
2 (From MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS): "The connection has been lost with Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC). Recovery of any in-doubt distributed transactions
involving Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) will begin once the connection is re-established. This is an informational
message only. No user action is required."
-- Folowed by these 3 identical messages
3 (from MSDTC Client 2): 'MSDTC encountered an error (HR=0x80000171) while attempting to establish a secure connection with system GCOVA38.'
4 (from MSDTC Client 2): 'MSDTC encountered an error (HR=0x80000171) while attempting to establish a secure connection with system GCOVA38.'
5 (from MSDTC Client 2): 'MSDTC encountered an error (HR=0x80000171) while attempting to establish a secure connection with system GCOVA38.'
6 (From MSDTC 2): MSDTC started with the following settings: Security Configuration (OFF = 0 and ON = 1):
Allow Remote Administrator = 0,
Network Clients = 1,
Trasaction Manager Communication:
Allow Inbound Transactions = 1,
Allow Outbound Transactions = 1,
Transaction Internet Protocol (TIP) = 0,
Enable XA Transactions = 1,
Enable SNA LU 6.2 Transactions = 1,
MSDTC Communications Security = Mutual Authentication Required, Account = NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService,
Firewall Exclusion Detected = 0
Transaction Bridge Installed = 0
Filtering Duplicate Events = 1
This makes me wonder if there's something maybe holding a transaction open somewhere?

Hello,
The XSD you are using is from Data Type and you are using it for mapping.
Instead export XSD for Message Type and also pass the XML schema for source that will solve the issue and your XSLT will be generated.

A note of thanks to Oracle for the help I have received!

Hi!
I would like to thank the following people from Oracle for their help on a recent problem I was having with FOP PDF generation:
Carl Backstrom for his patience and dilligence in finding the problem and
the solution! Another bug squashed!
Marc Sewtz for his initial investigation of the problem.
Joel Kallman, David Peake and Matt Doherty for working behind the scenes to see that a solution was found.
Without your help our project would have been dead in the water and not completed as an APEX project.
Again many thanks for your time, patience and help in getting me a very needed solution!
Dave Venus

Just goes to show why this is one of the BEST software forums around.
Not only are there many knowledgable "civilians" on here, willing to help with their expertise, but we also have many of the Oracle developers on here as well who are more than willing to help us with our problems.

DVD start menus and books for beginners

I would like to make a custom start menu using a jpg graphic and my own music. It would just have 2 options start video and scene selection.
I was fumbling around with PE11 yesterday and did it by accident. I added the picture and then added the audio with drag and drop....but when I tried to do it again, I could not remember what I selected.
Also is there a good book for beginners?
Thanks,
Matt

MHairell
Pending further information, this is what I came up with using
Premiere Elements 11 Windows
General/Grid
and its matrix_pal_s_mm.psd (for main menu) and its matrix_pal_s_sm.psd (for scene menu)
My Photoshop Elements is presently not allowing me to open the Photoshop Layer Sets in the .psd files, so I picked the above theme so I could get around having to do that.
This is the first try result
Main Menu....
Scene Menu
I tried it out in a DVD-VIDEO standard on DVD, and it did not look that bad.
My advice is to look at the theme as is to see what it is all about, and, if interested in getting a look like above, I will give you the step by step. But, you will need Photoshop Elements or Photoshop for the background exchanges. I did not find a theme where I could get a clean enough background replacement with just the customization within the Movie Theme section of the program. Again, Photoshop Elements that will not open the Layers Sets is OK in this instance since we are not opening any Layers Sets, we are just replacing backgrounds at the .psd level rather than within the project.
If interested, I will post further details which should be quick and easy to follow.
Thanks.

Which is better for beginners

Which Photoshop is better for beginners ???
SujithVijayan

For what purpose? Usage?
Elements will be OK for editing photographs. Just making them look their best, sort of thing. Photoshop is better if you want make composites, or radical changes, or build an image from scratch, or if you think you are really serious, and want the best tool for the job.

Tutorial: Flash Builder 4 beta 2 and PHP Data/Services for beginners

Hi fellas,
I've written this tutorial for total beginners to get quickly to FB4 and PHP. Comments welcome
Flash Builder 4 and PHP Data/Services for beginners
http://www.flashrealtime.com/flash-builder-4-and-php-data-services/

Hi,
The first issue will be the pathing differences between wamp/mamp/xampp, some use www as root others htdoc you need to setup the php services on your local machine rather than importing a project.
The created services will have a connection array declared at the top of the code that points to the mysql server, in the project default debug folder you will have the config file that has the zend and webserver path
top of service file
============
var $username = "root";
var $password = "";
var $server = "localhost";
var $port = "3306";
var $databasename = "zend";
var $tablename = "clients";
var $connection;
amfconfig.ini
=========
[zend]
;set the absolute location path of webroot directory, example:
;Windows: C:\apache\www
;MAC/UNIX: /user/apache/www
webroot =C:/wamp/www
;set the absolute location path of zend installation directory, example:
;Windows: C:\apache\PHPFrameworks\ZendFramework\library
;MAC/UNIX: /user/apache/PHPFrameworks/ZendFramework/library
;zend_path =
[zendamf]
amf.production = false
amf.directories[]=Zender-debug/services
In your main project folder you have a .model folder the file there is an *.fml file that contains your channel endpoints etc.

I didn't see anything on the Sun site, but the disk arrived with my Solaris media. I have installed it on one machine (you need to create the "oracle" user id, the "dba" group, and you must set the tunable parameters for shared memory to install the software and example database.)
I tried to install a second machine and the Oracle installer terminates half way through without errors. I'm still working that issue.
