Oracle Product Management Sessions this month

Forms Product Management will be delivering two Forms sessions in the coming weeks:
The [Scottish Oracle User |http://scotland.ukoug.org/default.asp?p=4869] and the [Swedish Oracle User Group|http://www.orcan.se]

Working with the Oracle Enterprise Manager group to integrate closely with their monitoring solutions has been one of the most important advantages of joining the Oracle team. As our customers have started to use CRM more deeply as part of their business processes, CRM has quickly become Mission Critical, with 24/7 uptime requirements. Furthermore, as CRM becomes further integrated into the enterprise, knowing the status and health of the connections to multiple backend systems becomes evermore crucial.
Through our partnership with the Oracle Enterprise Manager, we aim to support true Enterprise-class CRM. We are the only solution out there with over six million live users, and we are leveraging the knowledge gained from those customers in our Enterprise Manager integration. With the real-time monitoring and diagnosis that Oracle Enterprise Manager provides, we simplify the process of managing sophisticated CRM implementations which span organizations and systems. If you have a Siebel implementation with four servers or more, or with integrations to several systems, you owe it to yourself to check out Oracle Enterprise Manager.

New Recommended Bundle Patches 9822322(EM 11.1.0.1) and 9843796(EM 10.2.0.5) are available for download from My Oracle Support now. This patch primarily enhances the Patching functionality offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control.
The 9843796(EM 10.2.0.5) patch is cumulative and is a superset of the previously released bundles #9405592, #9132461, #8992470, and #8653501 that were released previously, and therefore, includes all the features that were introduced as part of those Recommended Bundle Patches.
Make sure you apply the pre-requisite patch 9705138 before applying the new patch.
For more information, refer to:
Comprehensive Overview of Recommended Bundle Patch 9843796
Comprehensive Overview of Recommended Bundle Patch 9822322
under support note - OMS and Agent Patches required for setting up Provisioning, Patching and Cloning in 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.5 GC [ID 427577.1]
FAQs:
#1 If I had applied the previous recommended patches, do I need to rollback before applying this?
Yes, if you had applied any of the patches (#9405592, #9132461, #8992470 and #8653501) you would need to rollback the patch and apply this.
For rollback instructions, refer to the patch README from the support note 427577.1
#2 I recently applied the patch 9132461, do I still need the new patch?
The new patch contains additional bug fixes. (For more info see,9843796 or 9822322) -- Required for applying latest DB PSU.
The 11.1 patch provides the additional fixes from the 10.2.0.5 line that were not part of the base EM 11.1 release.
Oracle strongly recommends you to apply the latest patch to make sure your do not encounter these issues and you are at the current patch levels for faster issue resolution through support
#3 Are there any special instructions to apply these patches?
Yes, you need to apply the pre-requisite patch -9705138 before applying the new patch.
#4 Any more issues seen at customers or learnings ?
a) "I applied the patches but the version of the deployment procedure remain the same"?
The patch instructions are not followed up completely. Make sure you run post apply steps - PAR Deploy and SQL apply as per the readme.
b) Oracle DB JULY PSU is an Overlay patch on top of April PSU, can I apply using these deployment procedures?
You need these recommended bundles on the OMS as a pre-requisite. You can apply both PSUs (APR and JULY) together through Deployment procedures. It would take care of the orchestration of applying April followed by the Overlay July PSU.

Nice - thanks!

Free Oracle ADF training by Oracle Product Management in the UK

For anyone learning Oracle ADF, we are running some free ADF training including a hands-on lab. Check out

Grant Ronald

Hi, many of these events come about as a result of local demand. If you have an account manager in UAE please let him know you want this kind of training/events. This kind of demand from the field is what helps us target these events. So, to answer your question, I don't have anything planned from my group, but this is something we could put together if we have demand in a region.

From Forms Product Management - New Forms/Reports install option

Oracle Product Management are pleased to announce the release of Forms/Reports Services only download and install option of Oracle Application Server 10g.
This provides an option to the EE to install those components related only to running Forms and Reports.
To download please go to http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/forms/ and please feel free to post any comments.
Regards
Grant Ronald
Forms Product Management

I did create a posting on OTN almost a year ago asking if/when 9iAS light version (forms/reports/graphs only) will be available at a reduced cost.
Oracle now announced (and also proved my claims that it was not a technical but marketing decision not to make forms/reports part of iAS a separate product) the separate download/install option for forms/reports services.
My original posting attracked more than 100 folks (including Shay, Frank and Grant) but was not fruitful to convince Oracle to make forms/reports services a separate product targeted for the small companies, who might not need/use the rest of the 9iAS framework. I believe, seeing one side of the coin and enforcing your opinion by ignoring the cry of many others (including many ODTUG members) is not a wise solution for your existing small business and niche market (using Oracle db and tools for very specific purposes such as simulations, etc on intranets - and operating under strict security protocols not to open up to internet) customers.
Grant and Shay repeatedly wrote on this forum and presented via whitepapers, etc. that forms/reports services are not fading away and it is a complementary solution to JDeveloper and emphasized that JDeveloper is not the replacement of forms/reports services. This news was very good for existing forms/reports developers.
Given that forms/reports services is now separately available, why not making Forms/Reports Designer and Forms/Reports services (only) part of iAS a separate product? as Oracle did the very same with JDeveloper?

Downloading the Adobe Creative Cloud app opens Adobe Product Manager but never updates it

I've tried seveal times to download the Adobe Creative Cloud app but each time it opens Adobe Product Manager and then never updates APM to the Creative Cloud app nor does it give me any options to install the CC app. Note: I've used adobe cleaner to clean my manager and did a fresh install of the latest Adobe Product Manager. This allowed me to at least see all of the other CC programs and install several of them. Its my understanding that APM is suppose to update itself to the CC app but it never does. I'd really like to have the CC app to interact with the cloud as is intended. plz advise and help.

Nickpl the forums are fairly active right now. You may want to take a look at the topics listed under the annoucements and within the FAQ Creative Cloud Download and Install forum - http://forums.adobe.com/community/download_install_setup/creative_cloud_faq while you wait. We are updating these areas with any new issues or solutions which are being discovered.

Essam - That's probably a bit too much to cover in a forum. If you have a Metalink account, then go to the top tech docs and download the AR and OM user guides - if not, the 11.5.9 guides are here: http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B12190_11/current/html/docset.html
On Metalink, there is also a subsection under the top tech docs called business flows, there you can find information on the flow from order to cash etc.

ORA-28102 in ORACLE POLICY MANAGER

Hi,
I tried to drop a policy in Oracle policy manager and this generate the follow error:
ORA-28102: policy does not exist
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_RLS", line 308
ORA-06512: at line 1
thanks,
Luis

Hi, yes Oracle 10g can manage Oracle Security Label, you need install the Oracle Client tools for manage it. In Oracle by examples section you can locate the procedure for make this. Review the next link.

TNS-04012: Unable to start Oracle Connection Manager instance.

Hi,
I've tried to configure Connection Manager but i fails on:
TNS-04012: Unable to start Oracle Connection Manager instance
This is my configuration (I've removed as much as possible to remove possible errors):
CMAN1=(CONFIGURATION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<hostname>)(PORT=1522))
(RULE_LIST=
(RULE=(SRC=*)(DST=<IP>)(SRV=*)(ACT=accept))))
CMCTL> administer CMAN1
Current instance CMAN1 is not yet started
Connections refer to (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<hostname>)(PORT=1522)).
The command completed successfully.
CMCTL:CMAN1> startup
TNS-04012: Unable to start Oracle Connection Manager instance.I've reviewed following notes without getting any closer (298916.1 and 733421.1)
I can't see any errors in any of the following possible issues:
* The max_connections value must not exceed 1024. Maximum acceptable value is 1024
* The max_gateway_processes value must not exceed 64. Maximum acceptable value is 64
* The trace_directory and log_directory values must be valid
* The trace_level and log_level values do not support numeric values 6,10 and 16
* Duplicate sections
* Misspelled parameter names or parameter values
* Host values that are not resolvable
* Rule list must allow the local address of the machine where cman is installed
* A specfic address in SRC or DST for a rule in the rule list must be resolvable(Try ip address range as a workaround and see the enhancement request 6125025)
* Windows: Ensure the ORA_DBA group is present and O/S user starting CMAN is in the group
* Windows: Ensure any firewall is not blocking Oracle from using Network
All help are appreciated!

Error trying to log into Oracle Directory Manager

I am receiving an error message when I try to log into Oracle Directory Manager. This is the first time I am trying to log in, I am trying to login with the username cn=orcladmin, and with the password welcome, which is the default. I then receive the error message "Server is not up and running". I thought I started an OID instance with oidctl.
I am running on w2k.
I am using the default port 389, at least thats what I accepted while installing the infrastructre.
Any advise?

From the main page for this forum (http://forums.adobe.com/community/creative_cloud) please see the announcement.
Creative Cloud is experiencing issues at this time. We are investigating and working to restore service as soon as possible. This post will be removed once the issue is solved.

First, can you see the agent and host in EM? If not, then you'll need to follow these steps:
emctl secure agent
emctl start agent
emctl config agent addinternaltargets
emctl config agent listtargets
The host and agent must be "green" in EM to discover targets. The last command listtargets will show you what the agent has "auto-discovered". Not all targets can be auto-discovered.
Did you check the Auto Discovery Results to see if the targets are waiting for promotion? If they're not there, then you might have to "manually" discover them.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e24473/discovery.htm#CBAEGHBH
For each target type, there could be additional pieces that you need to look for when discovering, for example for
SOA - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/install.121/e24215/disc_mon_soa.htm#GSSOA9921

Oracle Enterprise Manager Console Sessions

I do apologize if this is posted in the incorrect location. I have Oracle Enterprise Manager Console open and i'm within instances\Sessions. When I first log in there are 9 total active sessions. 1 is mine with program java.exe which is OEMC. I have a website that calls a stored procedure. It will return either a string or nothing depending on if there is a row in the table. That is the only call that is being made. This executes on page load. As soon as I go to this page and it loads I check OEMC again and now I have 5 new INACTIVE sessions with program w3wp.exe. Why is there 5 when i'm only making 1 call to the database?
Here is the c# code i'm using on my master page. The page that is calling the master page only has text there is nothing in the code behind for that page.
OracleParameter pMsg;
OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["strDB"].ConnectionString);
OracleCommand command = new OracleCommand("GetMsg", conn);
command.CommandType=CommandType.StoredProcedure;
pMsg = command.Parameters.Add("PMSG", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 4000);
pMsg.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
conn.Open();
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
string sMsg = Convert.ToString(pMsg.Value);
if (sMsg.Length > 1)
litMsg.Text = "** " + sMsg + " **";
conn.Close();
conn.Dispose();
command.Dispose();
Thank you for any help

I think I figured out what is going on. I think it's the connection pooling that is creating these 5 connections. When I turned pooling off it created 1 connection when I was on that page and then when I exited the connection was gone as well. My question now is are these 5 connections for the entire site? Meaning that it will server anyone user to my site?
If I have an open connection object later on in my code does it skip this process and just go to the connection pool?
Thanks

Can DRM manage the hierarchies of non-Oracle products

Hi,
1. Can DRM manage the hierarchies of non-Oracle products. (For example, does it have an ability to interface with and manage the internal hierarchies of Guidewire( A claims system))?
2. does DRM interact with ODI to achieve that type of integration.
Appreciate your response..

DRM is an independent or stand alone application. Even other applications like IBM cognos and SAP apps also uses DRM as their master data management tool.

2 products installed in this Oracle Home

Our security scanner is indicating that our Oracle 10g install has a vulnerability that should have been address with the install of CPUApr2011. Our server is patched with every 10g CPU until end of life in Aug 2013, so I know it is a false failure. But one question that I have is that the opatch lsinventory command indicates that I have 2 products installed in my Oracle home:
Installed Top-level Products (2):
Oracle Database 10g 10.2.0.1.0
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Patch Set 4 10.2.0.5.0a
There are 2 products installed in this Oracle Home.
What is that actually telling me? Do I actually have 2 installs of Oracle in that home?
Thanks in advance

You have installed 10.2.0.1.0 released base, and over this 10.2.0.5. You release is 10.2.0.5.
You can verify this by
i) from sqlplus execute at command line "sqlplus -version"
ii) into the database "select * from v$version"
