Recommendations for SCJP 6 practice exams

I everyone, I am new to this forum but I have gotten a lot of help from this forum so far. This is my first post. And please excuse me and direct me in the right direction if someone else has already asked and gotten an answer for this questions.
I am taking the SCJP 6 this AUG 4. I wanted to know what practice exam service shall I use (other than the two exams provided by SUN) if I want to get a taste of the real exam. I know there are many sites that provide practice exam packages, but I am afraid they might not be similar to how the actual SCJP 6 exam might look like. Please tell me your recommendations on what sites best depict the real exam scenarios.

Thank you for your reply, I will check out your recommendations, it certainly helps. But I would also like a recommendation for a practice exam service that I could subscribe to, meaning a portal that will provide me with many practice questions and I dont have to worry about whether they are similar to the questions in the real exam. I know there are services like Ucertify, pass4sure etc...if anyone has used these services could you please comment! Thank you all in advance

Recommendations for LMS - focus on exams

I'm looking for recommendations for a LMS mainly for scoring exams. We're currently producing course material and exams with Captivate 4 and using the LMS component of Connect Pro. We've run into numerous issues with applying time limits and preventing cheating (through the cumulative score display) in our current system. In Captivate, it looks like we have a lot more options if we publish to a different LMS. We prefer to host things ourselves and have a strong IT staff and development team for deployment and customization. Thanks.

Inquisiq (http://www.inquisiqr3.com) is worth a look - SaaS or Installed, various pricing models, pretty full-featured but can certainly be used for just test results. No interaction reports available to those without permissions...
(disclaim: I work with these folks)
Moodle and Sakai, of course, are two Free LMS products that may suite you just fine, especially if you've a strong IT and dev group, and even moreso if they've a taste for open source products.
Articulate, I believe, has a hosted tracking system for their QuizMaker products. I've not looked into it, and not sure if it's available 'installed', but either way may be a fast solution. QuestionMark Perception has a similar thing, I think I've heard, but also heard their pricing is...challenging.
Helps?

Seeking book recommendation for DBA best practices

Good afternoon,
I've been reading a lot of documentation on Oracle and learning quite a number of commands and different ways of doing things. The problem is knowing the commands is one thing, creating the context where they are appropriate/best is another.
I am looking for a book where the authors share their experience as to "how to do it right" as far as database configuration, backups and all the "details" that are involved in setting up a sound, reliable, robust, manageable and productive environment. A book where the authors would present the "why" do it this way and not the other would be great.
Effectively, I want to gain "experience" vicariously ;)
Thank you for your help,
John.

Hi John,
I am sure that you would like the Scaling book. Reason for that is the snippet of information that you have mentioned about your past work, the book goes into great detail of internals. As I said internals and you do research a lot, bookmark this site http://www.ixora.com.au (Steve Adams) and also get his book,
http://www.amazon.com/Oracle8i-Internal-Services-Latches-Memory/dp/156592598X
Fair warning that lots of stuff has undergone many changes since the book is written and Steve doesn't update the site also now but still, both are a very valuable resource to get into the deep of (some) things and get more clarity.
I am too small to say anything about Jonathan, all I can say that he is just great! His book Practical Oracle 8i is really very good and also, you should bookmark his blog and site, http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com and www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk. I would strongly suggest to read the co-operative FAQ from his website, http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/ind_faq.html
Yes, its not correct to attribute something as a best practice given the fact that rarely, two environments would be essentially same. That's why I don't like to call anything as a best practice because when I say that in my sessions, it spreads a message that it must be done but actually the answer (mostly) is may (or may not) be . I suggest to know more about Oracle db's work, know what it can do, what are the tools it provides and then use them all wisely :) . Not sure how much I am correct :) .
Regards
Aman....

Practice exam for 1Z0-146

Hi,
I was actually looking out for some good practice exams before i gave the actual 1Z0-146. It will be of great help if anyone can guide me about it.

Thanks.As you probably noticed the authorized exam provider (Kaplan IT trading as Transcender and SelfTestSoftware) do not currently appear to provide a test for 1z0-146
Most, if not all, practice exams you will see by searching on the web are unauthorised training material:
See: [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/05/the_route_you_choose.html]
Certguard will show that these are typically braindump websites [http://www.certguard.com] .... really you should only consider sites that are guarenteed non braindump.
There are a few sample questions (10) with the exam topics (I call these the beta exam rejects).
Basically you are your own with this. But at east by the time you are taking 1z0-146 you will have taken and passed 2 certiifcation exams at least anyway.

Which books are recommended for oracle 1Z0-051 exam ?

visit Amazon.com and search for "1Z0-051". There is not only official Oracle book, but a few third party.

SCJP 1.4 EXAM

In the course given for SCJP 1.4 exam, There is a point that I dont understand. It says
Write code that explicitly makes objects eligible for garbage collection.
Now what is this , can someone please give me a detailed description of this or tell a site where this code could be found, I have not been able to solve this topic.
Plz Help asap.

I'm assuming they mean that when you're killing an object that it sets all of its own objects to null as well. This seems kinda silly and overkillish to be, but....

What is the best practice exam for 70-462 SQL 2012 DB Admin. exam?

Hi All,
I've completed the 70-462 exam prep guide from Microsoft press, i.e., I've read the book twice and practiced everything I could on my lab network (short of AlwaysOn and Clustering), including all the review questions and practice sections. Now I need
a practice exam and I'm wondering what success test-takers would suggest.
I saw Transcender's practice exam for 70-461 and it was less than what I expected. There were questions that didn't belong there and I don't want to waste my money on a practice exam that has a bunch of "filler" questions. It was the
first Transcender practice exam I've ever seen.
Thanks for any advice you can provide! I expect to take the exam in about 3 weeks.
Eric B.

Seriously, though, I've been studying this guide for nearly 6 months, don't have the money to re-test over and over, and would rather pay for a practice test than pay for the exam itself more than once.
Hi Eric,
In addition to Kalman’s post, based on my research, you can take a practice test for 70-462 from below link. Also, as is suggested in this
article, you can buy a practice test for Exam 70-462 from Kaplan SelfTest and MeasureUp.
http://www.accelerated-ideas.com/free-70462-practice-test.aspx#.VGRCzf6KCM8
Besides, about such issues, for quick and accurate response, I would like to recommend that you ask the question in the Learning forums at
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=CertGeneral . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

Practice exams for 'Intro to Oracle9i SQL'

I just finished the 'Introduction to Oracle9i SQL' book
and was hoping if anyone knows of any places where I may
be able to find some practice exams (1Z0-007)?
Or if anyone has any practice exams for the Oracle9i
DBA track that they could send me would be greatly
appreciated! My email address is: rwd1971(at)hotmail.com
Thanks IA,
Rick.
ps-I have already done the practice exams from Oracle.com

You can do a google search and download practice exams (they are generally text files) You will find a lot of questions in the exam from these practice exams.
PS:Sybex has a good book and practice test for 1Z0-007. I would definitely recommend it over Oracle Press 1Z0-007(author: Marisetti)

Practice Exam for 1z0-050

Hi,
I am preparing for 1z0-050 exam to get 11g OCP. I am thinking of buying 'Transcender' - 1z0-050 Practice Exam.
Has anyone used these practice exams and Flash Cards from Transcender for 1z0-050? If yes, do you recommend the material from Transcender?
I have used the Transcender practice exams for 042, 043 and 047 in the past and I found them very useful.
However for all those exams I used a very good Study Guide to supplement the Practice exams.
For 050 exam, based on the Web Search there are only 2 books, Sam Alapati and Freeman. Reviews for both the books are not that great.
Looks like Sam Alapati book has lot of errors.
Can someone please post there experience regarding the Transcender practice exam for 1z0-050?
Thanks in advance.

I used a practice test from SelfTest Software, which is produced by the same company, Kaplan. I thought their practice test for that exam was very good. I only have one complaint: Some of their referenced materials (websites, etc) were illegal materials found on sites like docstoc. I hope they've removed those. Anyway, I also had heard that Alapati's book was not so good, but it was the only book I used. When I heard that, I decided to glean through the book quickly & try to learn elsewhere. This site is helpful:

Question from Sun ePractice exam for SCJP

Hi All. I�m preparing to take the SCJP for Java 5 test shortly, and in preparation I am taking one of the Sun ePractice exams for this test. I have run across an answer I don�t understand and am hoping that someone might help me better understand their explanation. I have included the question and answer below.
Here's where I'm fuzzy: I selected option A, compilation fails, as the answer. As you can see by their answer, option A is, in fact, the correct answer. However, I thought the compilation error would be due to the statement on line 10. The statement on line 10 is attempting to assign a superclass object of type Dog, referenced by d2, to a reference variable for a subclass of Dog, h1 of type Harrier, without an explicit cast. But their answer states that the compilation will fail due to an error on line 8, not line 10. I don�t understand this. With respect to line 8, I can see that a cast from a subclass to it�s superclass would make the code more clear, but I don�t see why the compilation would fail due to no cast on this line. Furthermore, the compilation will certainly fail from the statement on line 10. I ran the code, and it did fail due to line 10. Do you think this is just a mistake in their answer, or am I missing something?
Any insight would be much appreciated.
The question and answer from the practice exam are as follows:
Given:
1. class Dog { }
2. class Harrier extends Dog { }
3.
4. class DogTest {
5. public static void main(String [] args) {
6. Dog d1 = new Dog();
7. Harrier h1 = new Harrier();
8. Dog d2 = h1;
9. Harrier h2 = (Harrier) d2;
10. Harrier h3 = d2;
11. }
12. }
Which is true?
A-     Compilation fails
B-     Two Dog objects are created
C-     Two Harrier objects are created.
D-     Three Harrier objects are created
E-     An exception is thrown at runtime
Answer:
Option A is correct. The compiler will issue an incompatible types error because of the assignment on line 8.

Did you buy these practice exams off sun. I remember this question. It confused the hell out of me too. Yes you are correct it fails because of line 10.

Best Sites for OCA Practice Exam

I'm preparing to take my OCA exam and wanted to purchase one of the practice exams. I have found a few sites (selftestsoftware.com, testking.com, etc). I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with any of these sites or could recommend any others.
Thanks,
Bill

FYI - I found this on DBASupport.com and I just purchased the bundle OCA/OCP for $89 from selftestsoftware.com.
If you become a member of Oracle Academic Initiative you can get SelfTest for half price (each practice exam is $50). When it ask you for your Institution, just enter in your local community college as it is spelled exactly (chances are it is an authorized Oracle Academic Initiative Institution) and agree to everything else. You have to order through OAI and your cart will reflect 50% off.

What are Best Practice Recommendations for Java EE 7 Property File Configuration?

Where does application configuration belong in modern Java EE applications? What best practice(s) recommendations do people have?
By application configuration, I mean settings like connectivity settings to services on other boxes, including external ones (e.g. Twitter and our internal Cassandra servers...for things such as hostnames, credentials, retry attempts) as well as those relating business logic (things that one might be tempted to store as constants in classes, e.g. days for something to expire, etc).
Assumptions:
We are deploying to a Java EE 7 server (Wildfly 8.1) using a single EAR file, which contains multiple wars and one ejb-jar.
We will be deploying to a variety of environments: Unit testing, local dev installs, cloud based infrastructure for UAT, Stress testing and Production environments. **Many of our properties will vary with each of these environments.**
We are not opposed to coupling property configuration to a DI framework if that is the best practice people recommend.
All of this is for new development, so we don't have to comply with legacy requirements or restrictions. We're very focused on the current, modern best practices.
Does configuration belong inside or outside of an EAR?
If outside of an EAR, where and how best to reliably access them?
If inside of an EAR we can store it anywhere in the classpath to ease access during execution. But we'd have to re-assemble (and maybe re-build) with each configuration change. And since we'll have multiple environments, we'd need a means to differentiate the files within the EAR. I see two options here:
Utilize expected file names (e.g. cassandra.properties) and then build multiple environment specific EARs (eg. appxyz-PROD.ear).
Build one EAR (eg. appxyz.ear) and put all of our various environment configuration files inside it, appending an environment variable to each config file name (eg cassandra-PROD.properties). And of course adding an environment variable (to the vm or otherwise), so that the code will know which file to pickup.
What are the best practices people can recommend for solving this common challenge?
Thanks.

HI Bob,
As sometimes when you create a model using a local wsdl file then instead of refering to URL mentioned in wsdl file it refers to say, "C:\temp" folder from where you picked up that file. you can check target address of logical port. Due to this when you deploy application on server it try to search it in "c:\temp" path instead of it path specified at soap:address location in wsdl file.
Best way is re-import your Adaptive Web Services model using the URL specified in wsdl file as soap:address location.
like http://<IP>:<PORT>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel<xirequest>
or you can ask you XI developer to give url for webservice and username password of server

Where does one find the Oracle Best Practice/recommendations for how to DR

What is the Oracle Best Practice for install/deployment and configuration of ODI 11g for Disaster Recovery?
We have a project that is using Oracle ODI 11g (11.1.1.5).
We have configured all the other Oracle FMW components as per the Oracle DR EDG guides. Basically using the Host ip name/aliasing concept to ‘trick’ the secondary site into thinking
it is primary and continue working with minimal (or no) manual reconfiguration. But will this work for ODI? The FMW DR guide has sections for SOA, WebCenter and IdM, but nothing for ODI.
Since ODI stores so much configuration information in the Master Repository..when this DB gets ‘data guarded’ to the secondary site and promoted to Primary…ODI will still think it is at the ‘other’ site. Will this break the actual agents running the scenarios?
Where does one find the Oracle Best Practice/recommendations for how to DR ODI properly?
We are looking for a solution that will allow a graceful switchover/failover with minimal manual re-configuration.
