Question about required workshop classes for OCP

Im working on finishing up my OCP in a few months. Quick question about the workshop class. Is there a test at the end of the week?
Also how do most people pay for these classes? They are pretty steep and my company doesnt pay for stuff like this for me. Im paying totally out of my own pocket. Also why is the online class the same amount as the instructor lead class? Its not like im in a room at some building that Oracle has to lease for use or something.

  • Question about lead in music for podcasting.

    Question about lead in music for podcasting.
    I listen to many other podcasts and there are those which play lead in music with bit of music inside their podcast. The music are songs we all know and enjoy. I have notice that they only play short small clips of these songs and are not royalty free songs.
    My Question would be is there a limit of time which you can play any song with out paying for it and use it in a podcast legally.
    Thanks Mike

    Legally you cannot use copyright music without written permission or a licence from a recognized authority, no matter how short the clip. Many people do this and get away with it (and for full tracks too) and it's debatable how much notice anyone is likely to take, or whether they would be bothered about a short clip. But the legal position is, it's not legal.

  • Instructor-led class for OCP/OCM schedules

    Is it possible to take an instructor led online class for ocp/ocm choosing other location? i live in US but i prefer other country's schedules..
    thanks

    I'm not positive that I understand what you are asking. You can attend a class anywhere that you're willing to travel to. Oracle Education will not prevent you from taking a class in The UK because you happen to live in the US, or vice-versa. The only VISA they are interested in is the one with sixteen digits on the front and a magnetic strip on the back.

  • Less dumb follow-up question about super/sub classes in WDJ?

    This is a follow-up question to the question which Maksim answered in this thread:
    Dumb question about super/sub classes in WDJ
    Question:
    Is there any kind of weird C++-like statement that you can put at the top of a WDJ module to force the module to interpret any reference to superclass A as a reference to some specific subclass B of A ???

    David,
    1. Java has no preprocessor, so C++ tricks are not available. Also I would not recommend such tricks even in C++ if you don't want to turn your colleagues working with same code into personal enemies.
    2. The phrase "easier to create a WDJ custom class loader " makes me smile. First, it's not that simple to interfere WDJ class loading scheme. Plus custom class loaders is not trivial Java topic per se.
    3. The problem "replace all A-s with B-s" is typically solved using one or another GoF creation patterns, like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_factory_pattern">Abstract Factory</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_method_pattern">Factory Method</a>. You may use them with custom class loader, if you really want to
    By the way, all UI controls in WD are created using Abstract Factory (role played by view). So you may use this as good example.

  • Few questions about Calendar / SimpleDateFormat classes

    Hi.
    I have few questions about Calendar class:
    1. How can I get only date representation (without the time)?
    after doing:
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    I tried to clear unecessary fields:
    cal.clear(Calendar.SECOND);
    cal.clear(Calendar.MINUTE);
    cal.clear(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
    But after printing the time, it seems that the HOUR was not cleared:
    SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
    System.out.println(sdf1.format(cal.getTime()));
    ---> 03/11/2004 17:00:00
    Am I missing somthing?
    2. I want to make sure that two different formats couldn't be compared. i.e., if I'll try to parse one String according to different format -- ParseException will be thrown.
    String date = "19/04/2004 13:06:10";
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
    Date dateObj = sdf.parse(date);
    However, even though that formats are different, no exception is thrown and the return Date is 19/04/2004 00:00:00.
    How can I cause to exception to be thrown if formats are not identical?
    Thanks in advanced

    The Calendar class has a few of what Microsoft would call 'features'. :^)
    To clear the time, call:
    calendar.set(calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR), calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH), calendar.get(Calendar.DAY), 0, 0, 0);
    If you want 'pessimistic' rather than 'optimistic' date parsing, you have two options:
    1) Call calendar.setLenient(false);
    See if that is strict enough for your needs, otherwise:
    2) Write code to ensure a stricter parsing of the string passed in. For example, you could very simply check the length of the string to determine if time data is also present.
    When parsing, a string like '02/29/02' would parse to the date '03/01/02'. Setting lenient to false may fix this, but the surest way is to do some testing and then make the parsing more pessimistic where it suits your needs.

  • Question about using container class - Map

    hi all
    i have a question about the following :
    i have two sets of data, both use a common filed as key for the map:
    A = {a,b,d,f,g,h} and B = {a,d,e,g,i,k}, each key has a value associated with.
    i need to find out the commonality, and the difference - i.e fields are in map A but not in Map B, and some fields that are in B but not in A. is there any quick method that comes with the collection class that can calculate this? thanks

    yes, the keyset will be used to access values.
    so, SetA.retainAll(SetB) will modify the SetA so that it contains keys that are in both SetA and SetB - the intersection.
    and SetA.removeAll(SetB) will modify the SetA so that it only contains keys that are in SetA, but not in SetB?
    correct?

  • Some question about Toshiab reocvery disk for Satellite P300-133

    Hello guys ,
    I got some questions about unpleasant recovery surprises :
    *1)* I just made recovery DVD using Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator and it initially asked for 2 DVDs - but when the first one was done it didn`t require a second blanc DVD . Is it possible all system files of Windows Vista to be written on 1 DVD ?
    *2)* Could I reinstall Windows Vista using the HDD Recovery option ( by pressing F8 ) without using recovery DVD ?
    *3)* Which HDD partitions`ll be formatted ( just system C: or both C: and E: ) using HDD recovery ?
    *4)* What is recovery DVD - Image of the hard drives or Vista installation files ?
    Its pretty bad idea not to include OS on DVD when I have paid for it.
    Thanks for all the problems to Toshiba :(

    1. I think the recovery disk creator means 2 CDs. I have a Portege M700 with Windows Vista and one DVD too. I recovered it and after this I have a clean Vista installation with all drivers and tools from Toshiba. Nothing is missing.
    2. Yes, you can reinstall Vista using the HDD Recovery option when you press F8 at startup. You dont need the recovery DVD but you should create one when your HDD get some errors or something else. If you need a new Recovery DVD, you have pay for one.
    3. The complete HDD and partitions will be formatted, so backup your data first on a DVD, external HDD, USB stick or something else.
    After the reinstallation you have the factory settings.
    4. The recovery DVD is an image of the HDD about the factory settings. If you make a recovery, there are all drivers and tools already installed. Of course on the disk are the installations files of Vista, but you can only use this DVD on your Satellite P300. The disk can not be used on an other Satellite or on a PC.
    When you have more questions, have a look in the user manual. There are a many in formations about the recovery. Its in chapter 3.

  • Question about source system copy for BW

    Dear all,
    I have a quick question about copying a source system for BW.
    We have two clients in the source ERP:
    100 Customizing
    200 Testing
    Our BW is only linked to client 200, so when we now delete client 200 and make a copy from 100 to 200, are we then still able to restore the source system connection so that our extraction will work, or will it fail, as in client 100 I have no BW related (except the cross-client-objects like datasource) information, that can be used for a possible restore of this connection.
    What is the procedure in this case?
    Thanks,
    Andreas

    Unfortunately, you will lose your source connection and need to create a new one in R/3.  You can use the same source system name in BW, but check the source system connection after the copy (SM59).  Also, I would "Restore" the source system (in BW, right-click on Source system in RSA1, and click "Restore") to insure the datasources get replicated from R/3 to BW.
    Depending on how much you want your BW and R/3 systems to be in synch, you will need to rebuild all your data providers (cubes/ODS's) from your R/3 system.  This means deleting all the data and running the initializations from scratch.  At the very least, you will need to rebuild the delta queues.
    Curious, if 100 is just for customizing, is there any data in it?  Are you just creating a new blank client 200?

  • VAT Tax determination- question about "Requirement" for Table-Is mandatory?

    Hi everybody,
    I am having problems to determine the appropriate VAT tax percent in some cases in Mexico.
    In Mexico for billing at the border with other countries the VAT tax percent is 11% and for billing inside the country the VAT tax percent is 16%. For determine the VAT tax percent the sequence access is MWST and is assigned to the condition type MWST.  For cover the border cases we create a table 989 with the fields: Distribution Channel/Plant and VK11 is fill out with this information. With these parameters is possible to determine successfully the VAT percent of 11% at border sales point.
    The problem that I have is related to the u201Crequirementu201D assigned to the table 989: Distribution Channel/Plant. This table has assigned a standard requirement number 7- Domestic Business and when billing to a customer with address of MX (Mexico) as LAND1 at general data section of customer master data, the VAT tax percent of 11% is obtained successfully, because all the fields of the table are filled. But when billing to a customer with address of US ( United States of America) as LAND1 at general data section of customer master data, is not possible to obtain the correct VAT tax percent of 11% even all the fields of the table are filled.
    I do not know if the problem is the requirement number 7- Domestic Business, but if I change for the requirement 8- Export Business then the opposite is occurring. For US customers the VAT tax percent is determinate successfully and for MX customers not, because the fields of the u201Crequirement u201Care not filled.  
    So, I am wondering if:
    1.     Would be necessary to create a new requirement for combine the 7- Domestic Business and 8- Export Business requirements or exist one like this? I do not need to conditioning anything
    2.     What happen if I left in blank the requirement field, I mean if I do not assign anything. I was doing testing for both customers and the VAT tax percent was determined correctly. But I do not know if is correct do not assign a u201Crequirementu201D to the table of the sequence of access MWST.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    OK I think I understand but here is where I am at now. I originally created a regulation that requires a license when shipping to certain countries out of the EU. I set the regulation as an Export reg did all the necessary config and was able to assign licenses automatically where needed.
    Has I was testing the solution I could not find sales docs or deliveries for some of the materials and finally found out they are being moved on NB PO's.
    So I changed the reg to include imports etc., classified with import control class etc. but I am seeing a couple things that don't make sense and tells me my config isn't quite right.
    I finally do see that the system at least recognizes the new legal reg in the screening now. before this it had not. But it is still telling me it can't find any relevant country.
    The other thing the document itself only shows under Display Existing Export Documents even though in the log it says it's an import document and when I go to the Import log there is no data.
    Before I realized there was a note to change the Import to export on transfer I assigned the PO types to export orders and I am thinking that's why they are showing in the export list but I woul have tought that it would say it's an export doc which it doesn't.
    Any ideas?

    I'm in exactly the same boat as you... gonna be using it as my primary computer, graduating college soon, and my first mac. I'll be going with the 13 inch MacBook Air.
    The Pro and the Air are nearly identical performance-wise and so that means the only advantage of the Pro is the storage space (unless you count the cd drive as an advantage). The Air is way more portable and has a better display, I don't know about you but my current cd drive rarely gets used so might as well get rid of it.
    I have also compared them side-by-side in the store and that was really what won me over to the Air. The 11-inch Air was there too but the screen just seems too small, especially if you are doing work/writing essays etc.
    Hope that helped

  • Question about using 1 SETID for Vendor Master

    Hello everyone,
    I work for a large healthcare system and we are currently in the PeopleSoft training classes and are about to move into the design phase. We are a multi hospital system and are moving everyone to PeopleSoft for our ERP system. My questions is for Supply Chain purposes and hope that someone can help clarify. It is our goal to use 1 vendor master SETID for our entire hospital system. Please see my question below.
    The customer account # for a vendor is currently at the set id. The customer account # is specific to an entity as it identifies where the vendor should ship. How can we have one vendor master (setid) and still allow the correct customer account # to default on the PO (the buyer needs this when calling in an order)?

    On each of these 'dumb terminals' I assume you are looking to access the complete Mac desktop from the central Mac?
    Unfortunately, this can't be done.
    In the past, the setup you describe first was used on mainframes where each end node was a dumb terminal. But it was just text.
    Next came X11 which does mostly what you are asking about, but each end node is basically a full computer in itself. You can remotely log into a central server and get a complete desktop session. This would take using a central computer that is running full X-Windows and then you'd need a PC running Linux, or running Windows and a X-Terminal package like Exceed or a Mac with X11 installed (not sure if you can make the Mac X11 do a full-blown desktop X session.) Note that as the central server, you'd need a computer running an OS with full-blown X-Windows (Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, etc.) -- OS X is UNIX but it doesn't run full X-Windows as its window manager.
    Finally, there is what are called 'thin clients' ... a good example is Sun Microsystems' SunRay... it's enough hardware on the client side to provide display, keyboard and mouse. They boot off a central Sun Solaris server and work just like X-Windows clients. The difference here is that the SunRay unit can't work on its own; it has no disk, and has to boot from the SunRay server.
    And of course there's Windows Terminal Services, which lets you do the same thing with Windows. I think that takes Windows Server edition software on the central computer, and then a regular PC as a client.
    Sounds like your only option is to use Mac minis as you suggest. But then there's no need for a central computer to share, obviously.

  • Thunderbolt / USB3 questions about external backup drives for my new MacBook Pro

    I have a new MacBook Pro retina 13". It has two USB3 and two Thunderbolt2 ports.
    Until now on my iMac I've kept two backups on two WD USB2 drives. I have never had any problems with any of my WD Passport drives. One for Time Machine and one for CCC (a complete bootable clone incrementally created at 3:30 am every day).
    I'd like to get new portable drives for my MBP for these backups going forward and have a few very basic questions, since this is the first time to have a device with a USB3 port, and the first time I even heard about Thunderbolt.
    If I get a USB3 drive and need to use it to restore things on my older iMac, which just has USB2, will it generally connect and run with USB2 at a slower speed? Or would I have to get a drive with both USB2 and USB3 ports?
    Is Thunderbolt just an Apple thing? Or is it a new standard widely used by peripherals now? I just never heard of it before. Is it faster than USB3?
    Is it common for drives to have both Thunderbolt and USB2 connections?
    Are there "hubs" for Thunderbolt like there are for USB? Considering the limited number of ports, I'm wondering the best way to connect 2 external drives. My iMac has 4 USB2 ports on the back, and I connect one drive separate to each of those ports, rather than going through a hub.
    Is USB3 like USB2 in that if you have even 1 USB2 device (e.g. my Logitech headset) connected to a USB3 hub it will slow down everything on that hub to USB2?
    Any recommendations for good, portable backup drives?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Hi Doug,
    Lets see if we can address some of these:
    If I get a USB3 drive and need to use it to restore things on my older iMac, which just has USB2, will it generally connect and run with USB2 at a slower speed? Or would I have to get a drive with both USB2 and USB3 ports?
    USB3 is "backwards compatible" with USB2 so plugging a USB3 drive into a USB2 port should work, but at USB2 speeds.
    Is it common for drives to have both Thunderbolt and USB2 connections?
    Drives sold as Thunderbolt often (not always) have USB as well, drives sold as USB never (in my experience) have Thunderbolt connections.
    Are there "hubs" for Thunderbolt like there are for USB? Considering the limited number of ports, I'm wondering the best way to connect 2 external drives. My iMac has 4 USB2 ports on the back, and I connect one drive separate to each of those ports, rather than going through a hub.
    Yes there are (but don't expect them to be comparable in price to a USB hub) e.g. see here: http://www.belkin.com/uk/p/P-F4U055/
    Is Thunderbolt just an Apple thing? Or is it a new standard widely used by peripherals now? I just never heard of it before. Is it faster than USB3?
    I'ts an Apple technology (like firewire) and is far from widely used on peripherals.  There ARE Thunderbolt drives etc by companies such as LaCie, WD etc but they are still very expensive (3 or 4x the price of an equivalent sized USB drive).  For some this was a worthwhile expense since Thunderbolt is many times faster than USB2.  But the arrival of USB3 has, in my opinion, changed the landscape.  Yes, Thunderbolt is theoretically faster than USB3 (up to twice as fast) but benchmark tests have shown that in real world situations, the speed difference varies from no difference to Thunderbolt being 25 or 30% faster.  When you take into account that USB3 drives are more common than Thunderbolt and are only a little more expensive than USB2 drives at present, then it's a "no brainer" as far as I am concerned.
    Hope this helps.

  • Beginner's question about naming helper classes

    Hello,
    I am building a pretty basic multi-tier application. I want to reduce a much as possible the dependencies between the web tier and the ejb tier. Ideally I would like for the web tier to construct a request object (of class MyRequest) and send it to the ejb tier that would then return a results object (of class MyResults).
    These would therefore be the only two classes that BOTH the ejb and web tier would be aware of. All other classes would either belong to the web tier OR the ejb tier.
    My question relates to the naming of these two classes. I would like to have different package names for the two classes as follows:
    -web-tier request object will be of type com.mycompany.web.MyRequest
    -ejb-tier request object will be of type com.mycompany.ejb.MyRequest
    -web-tier results object will be of type com.mycompany.web.MyResults
    -ejb-tier results object will be of type com.mycompany.ejb.MyResults
    I am getting errors with that. Is there a way around it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Julien Martin.

    Hello PinkyDead and thanks for your answer,
    I got the errors on another project and can't remember which. Class Cast Exceptions perhaps. I had to change the package names so that they matched in the web tier and the ejb tier. (which is what I don't like).
    As far as the new project is concerned I am trying to design the application as well as possible and your comments are therefore useful. Better getting the design right before starting coding.
    Can you or anyone tell me what architecture would be better that the one I proposed?? Don't you agree that at least some classes have to be shared by the web tier and the ejb tier? How can it be otherwise?
    Thanks in advance,
    Julien.
