Reference book for Oracle Linux exam 1Z0-402

Hi gurus!
Can you please give me useful reference books which cover the al topics for Oracle Linux Exam 1Z0-402 preparation?
Thanks
Mokarem

Can you please give me useful reference books which cover the al topics for Oracle Linux Exam 1Z0-402 preparation?By itself, 1Z0-402 does not grant any certification. Presumably you are going for Oracle Linux Administrator Certified Associate. That certification path also requires passing 1Z0-403. However, you can skip 1Z0-402 if you already have one of several other industry Linux certifications (LPI, Linux+, Ubuntu, Red Hat, or Novell). My recommendation would be to go for one of these certifications, then skip straight to the 1Z0-403 exam. I suggest that for several reasons:
1. There is a lot more study resources for exams like CompTIAs Linux+ available.
2. The other Linux certifications are better known than Oracle's.
3. Since 1Z0-402 by itself does not grant a certification, going this route gets you two certifications for the price of one.

Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.

Oracle 11gR2 certification for Oracle Linux 6

Hello,
According to Oracle documentation, database certification and support for Oracle 11gR2 under Oracle Linux starts with 11.2.0.3.
I was wondering if this might have anything to do with the i386 software prerequisites. Speaking of Oracle 11gR2 x86_64, the need for i386 libraries was removed with 11gR2 11.2.0.2. Or in other words, one can go straight to 11.2.0.2 without the need to install any 32-bit libraries.
Under Oracle Linux 5 x86_64, the "oracle-validated" package triggers the installation of several i386 packages. Under Oracle Linux 6 x86_64, the oracle-rdbms-server-11gr2-preinstall package uses x86_64 only. Under Oracle Linux 6, i386 changed to i686.
For what it's worth, I have installed Oracle 11gR2 database 11.2.0.1 under Oracle Linux 6.1 to 6.3, both x86_64, simply by using the oracle-rdbms-server-11gr2-preinstall package, and so far have not noticed any problems. Is there some information available, why 11.2.0.1 (x86_64) should not be used or is not certified for Oracle Linux 6 (x86_64)?
Thanks.

I was afraid of that. Since the question is Oracle Linux 6 specific, I thought I'd try my luck here, thinking that if I get an answer, then probably here. Maybe it was not very realistic to get an answer anyway.
For what it's worth. Using "oracle-validated" under Oracle Linux 5, and "oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall" under Oracle Linux 6, I was able to install Oracle 11gR2 11.2.0.1 just fine, both platforms x86_64 and 32-bit. I have not found any operational issues yet and it seems to run perfectly well.
The only trouble I had was with Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.1, and here 11.2.0.3 is indeed required for it to install. I made a custom patch, just a few lines and after that 11.2.0.1, both x86_64 and 32-bit installed just fine and is fully operational.
I'm though I could post the patch. I guess it might make those people happy who do not have access to Oracle support and download 11.2.0.3. The patch will allow them to use the 11gR2 OTN version and install it under Oracle Linux 6. It won't be certified, but it is good enough for the purpose of education.
I'm closing the thread.

CVE-2014-6271 and CVE-2014-7169 Patch Availability Document for Oracle Linux

Hi,
Can you suggest from where we need to download bash rpm for OEL 6 :-
bash-4.1.2-15.el6_5.2.x86_64.rpm
bash-doc-4.1.2-15.el6_5.2.x86_64.rpm
Thanks in Advance !!
Mukesh

First see the document I linked about creating a local yum mirror (How to Create a Local Yum Repository for Oracle Linux). I very strongly recommend setting this up so your systems can get other updates besides bash.
The individual RPMs can be found at Index of /repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64/ -- but I cannot stress the importance of updating entire systems rather than just bash. If you are not updating your systems periodically, bash is just one of your worries (as you're undoubtedly vulnerable to hundreds of other exploits in other packages besides Shellshock). Please set up an update repository and use it.
Patching only the vulnerabilities you see in the news is equivalent to locking your home's front door, but leaving the security alarm disconnected and the back door held open with a doorstop. You need all the updates, not just bash.

Anyone Recommend a Reference Book for Pages?

Specifically, I'm interested in a reference book for the latest version of Pages--just downoaded it from the App Store--for creating books to be exported to epub and viewable in the iBook app. I'm a print book designer of 22 years' experience, so I don't really need a beginners book on Pages unless it really, really covers making book for export to epub.
Preferably something I can read on my iPad in either the iBook app, the Kindle app, or even as a PDF. (A public doman--free--book would be really nice at the moment.
Thank you.

You should also ask in the forum for Pages:

Basic installation: X11 for Oracle Linux 6.3

Hi All,
I created Oracle VM and installed Linux 6.3 as operation system. First try with X Windows and X11 shows, that I can not start X-Appse.g. xclock --> command not found!
How can I correct install oderwise configure X11 for Oracle Linux 6.3
Regards,
Moh

I guess Oracle VM VirtualBox and Oracle VM can be misleading. Oracle should better call it Oracle Virtualbox, without VM in the name. Fyi: http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/virtualization/oraclevm/index.html
Anyway, a default installation of Oracle Linux or RHEL 6 does not install the X Window system and a graphical user desktop. If you want to run X11 applications you have 2 options:
- Use remote access from a system that has X Window server installed
- Install X Window and a window manager on your virtual machine.
If this is a new installation and you use it locally then I suggest to re-install the system and customize the package selection. You should see a prompt "customize now" during the installation where you can select the Desktop packages.

Oracle databse 10g express edition 64 bits for oracle linux 64bits

Can I find somewere where i do downlod of oracle database 10g XE 64bits for oracle linux 64bits
Please help me.
I realy need this database !
thank's
Dênio
Edited by: 968495 on 30/10/2012 10:17

All 10g oracle is under extended support, the XE 10g version was yanked from the download pages at about the time 10g went Extended.
Probably won't be able to get a download from anywhere under oracle.com but there might be a few sites that still have it hosted. Try google.

Regarding Good book for Oracle Service Bus 11g

Hi All,
What is the good book for Oracle Service Bus 11g in the below list(or You can also specify any book other than from below list)?
1)Oracle Service Bus 11g Development Cookbook
2)Oracle Service bus in 21 days
3)The definitive guide to SOA:Oracle Service Bus,Second edition (or)first edition?
Can yOu help me out which is the good book for OSB?

Hi Deilby,
Thank You for your reply.
According to my understanding(I don't know whether it is correct or not),If you want to have full-fledged OSB development,we need to have eclipse.
If you just need to have routing and transformation along with SOA suite development,We can use OSB console .
Can You also look into this below SOA forums thread with SOA-OSB questions? If I have 'Oracle
Service Bus 11g Development Cookbook' , Can I answer all those questions?
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2559964?tstart=0
My intention is clear,I want to have full-fledged OSB development information(important components) and that leads to have good exposure to face questions.
Can You help me out to clarify my understanding and recommend the book according to that?
Note: I already worked on SOA Suite.I worked on OSB console. I think whatever we can do with OSB eclipse development the samething we can do with OSB console along with SOA suite.
Can You clarify on this?

Which file must i download for Oracle Linux

Hi.
I have decided to download Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 on vmware.
But when i look Oracle's edelivery site.
files are : http://i.imgur.com/kXuwe.png
There are 4 files for Oracle Linux.
Above there is a sign ;
TIP View the Readme file(s) to help decide which files you need to download.
But in readme file dont mention for these files. Only say "You don't need to download source files".
What is the difference between first and second file? Which one must i download ?
Thanks.

What is the difference between first and second file? Which one must i download ? The first one is the full install DVD and is the one that you'll need if you don't already have OL6. The second one is a very small boot image that can be used if you already have an OL6 package mirror locally.

Books for oracle 1Z0-051 exam

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.
I like

Books/sites for Certified Associate (exam 1Z0-042)?

What books are recommended in order to pass exam 1Z0-042 (Oracle Database 10g Administrator Certified Associate)? Is there any one book that I can study that will help me pass this test?
I've read that you should have some "hands-on" experience to pass the test. I have software development experience with T-SQL (sql server). But I've rarely done anything with Oracle specifically (although I've worked with pl/sql).
Thanks.

Download the Database and install it and your on the first step of going through exam topics
Get time to read the Concepts guide, and maybe Admin and Performance guides from the docu library.

1z0-105 for Oracle Linux OCP

This appears to be starting beta about 5//6 October .... interesting this still seems to be OL 6; perhaps even OL6.3 when OL7 has now been out a while ( but obviously not in general use). ( OL 6.3 was perhaps the first usable OL6.x for Oracle Databases ... so I personally wouldn't touch OL7 at the moment). However the certification may shortly look a little behind the curve. Betas are of course subject to change. ... and the topic list may yet have an update.

This is now all sorted out officially everywhere .. see blog post https://blogs.oracle.com/certification/entry/0925_07

please let me know other books of this series...Just downloading/purchasing the Books is not going to help you learn SQL. You will have to read and practice.
My take is:
1. Oracle Documentation -- Download from Here
2. Effective Oracle by Design by Tom Kyte (Might have to purchase it as its not available for free download).
Once you read these and practice simultaneously, you would be able to grasp much more than reading all the above 4-5 books mentioned.
Also, I would say, to read just one of the books at a time than to make a mess by reading all and understanding none.
