Thanks & Regards,The first thing to note is that from your email I challenge you that you are not actually a 9i DBA OCP even though you are representing yourself as one.
Can you confirm you have received a 9i DBA Certification Success Kit from Oracle?
If the answer is yes you have received a success kit from Oracle:
- all well and good (and accept my apologies).
- Taking the 1z0-040 DBA 10g upgrade exam will get your Oracle 10g OCP Certification.
If the answer is no, and you have merely passed 1z0-007+1z0-0031+1z0-032+1z0-033 then perhaps you need to re-read the certification agreement you agreed when you took your exams:
1) Reference: [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=138]
2) Reference: [http://www.oracle.com/global/us/education/downloads/certification/certagreement.pdf]
In particular breach of * especially 3.2 (iii) * representing yourself as OCP when not could actually result in Oracle nullifying all your exam passes and OCA certification and possibily preventing you from taking further exams.
My guess is you may have been through a WDP program and able to submit that as your 9i online course.
Please note if you have not received a Certification Success Kit and have and/or have not taken a hands on course there is nothing stopping you taking 1z0-040 any time you can schedule a sitting. However under NO CIRCUMSTANCES can you represent yourself as an OCP without having received the success kit (or meeting all requirements) or the consequences can be considerable.

11G upgrade exam - can someone answer this question

The study guide I have says the answer is "C"... isnt the answer "D". How does this guy get the resolve privilege? confused???
Evaluate the following block of code:
BEGIN
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.CREATE_ACL (
acl => 'mycompany-com-permissions.xml',
principal => 'ACCT_MGR',
is_grant => TRUE,
privilege => 'connect');
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ASSIGN_ACL (
acl => 'mycompany-com-permissions.xml',
host => '*.mycompany.com');
END;
What is the outcome of the above code?
A. It produces an error because a fully qualified host name needs to be specified.
B. It produces an error because the range of ports associated with the hosts has not been
specified.
C. It creates an access control list (ACL) with the user ACCT_MGR who gets the CONNECT and
RESOLVE privileges.
D. It creates an access control list (ACL) with the user ACCT_MGR who gets the CONNECT
privilege but not the RESOLVE privilege.
Answer: C

Edited by: user647572 on Dec 26, 2011 5:10 AMI dispair when an Oracle Certified Professional says he does not have 'preapartion material' and asks for a PDF link.
.... The most likely response is from someone training to sell unauthorised learning materials.
..... The OCP should understand the exams topics and online manuals for 11g should be sufficient. Oracle Press Books and Sybex Books for 11g DBA OCP should also cover number of the required topics if that helps. Not to mention Oracle University Training.
...... But an OCP asking for a 'PDF' or 'PPT' for the 1z0-055 exam ??????? .... what form of content are you thinking?

Regarding 11g OCA and OCP exams

Hi,
I have 10g OCA. Now i am planning to write 11g OCA and OCP. Do i need to write 11g OCA or can i upgrade my 10g OCA to 11g.
Can any one please let me know how to prepare for 11g OCA and OCP. any web links or any text books do i need to follow in order to get good score in both certifications

There is no upgrade path for the OCA certification. You'd need to take the 11g OCA exams. Assuming we're talking about the DBA track (there are many different tracks), you should have passed one of the SQL exams when you got your 10g OCA so you probably only need to take one more exam for the 11g OCA.
All of Oracle's documentation is online at http://tahiti.oracle.com. You should be able to find more than enough information about all the exam topics there.

Oracle DB 10g to 11g Upgrade

Hi,
We have a SAP Oracle Database, the size is 1.5 TB.
The Hardware details are
Application – SAP ERP 6.0 EHP5 SPS6
Database – Oracle 10.2.0.2
OS Platform – AIX 5.3 TL05, SP06
HW – 8 Dual Core CPU’s, 256 GB RAM on DB-CI server
Test Environment : 32 GB RAM
Please from your experience let me know how much time will a 10g to 11g upgrade will take.
Regards,
Narayan

hi,
There are several parameters you have to check before upgrading. Commonly it is independent of size of database.I think it will take as minimum 1 hour. Check the links to speed up upgrading and to consider pre-upgrade preparation:

11g Upgrade from 10.2.0.4 in SUSE 10.

Hi Gurus,
We have 11g Database upgrade on our EBS 11i environment, database size is around 1.3 TB, i already did test upgrade it was not satisfactory results what client is expecting regarding downtime, i followed manual upgrade as i am very much familier with that, i your views and suggestions to reduce upgrade downtime.
11g Upgrade from 10.2.0.4 in SUSE 10.

Hi,
Is your database is RAC or NON-RAC.
If you are going for patchset upgrade then you can go for roll upgrade patch.
as you know, you cannot escape the downtime always. ;-)
i already did test upgrade it was not satisfactory results what client is expecting regarding downtime, i followed manual upgrade as i am very much familier with thatOracle introduces DBUA with many features, still why you are not going for DBUA?
You have to test the TEST environment using DBUA ;-)
If for example For 1.3 TB you are going to consistent backup, still you have down time. then there is no point to think on UPGRADE duration.
but you can perform pro-actively like.. install the 11g ORACLE_HOME before the downtime. & so on.

11g Upgrade Issues and Questions

Hi,
I am upgrading database from 9.2.0.6 to 11g in EBS, Apps version is 11.5.10.2.
I have performed 11.1.0.7 patch set installation tasks & Apply additional 11.1.0.7 RDBMS patches
Now my query is that I have to copy InitSID.ora from 9i to 11g before or after database Upgrade(using DBUA)?
When I have to set Database Initialization Parameters for Oracle Applications Release 11i before or after database Upgrade(using DBUA)?

11G Upgrade - EBS 12.1.2

I have a few questions on the 11G upgrade.
DB - 11.2.0.3 - OS - zLinux
EBS - 12.1.2 - SLES 10-SP3
I am following note 1058763.1 (Interoperability Notes Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0) - and am at step 23 - Implement and Run Autoconfig
Referring to 387859.1 (Using AutoConfig to Manage System Configurations in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12), I have finished unzipping the appsutil.zip file to the $ORACLE_HOME on the database tier using the unzip -o appsutil.zip.
The next step in 387859.1 requires running autoconfig on the DB tier - for which I don't find the $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts folder.
Section 3.2 of 387859.1 refers to Installing JRE on the Database tier - however when I run the java -version command - I already get the following output on the upgraded 11g home.
tebsdb01:EBST1:/t01/product/db11.2.0.3 > java -version
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pxz6460sr9fp3ifix-20111215_04(SR9 FP3+IV12154))
IBM J9 VM (build 2.4, JRE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.4 Linux s390x-64 jvmxz6460sr9-20111214_97396 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)
J9VM - 20111214_097396
JIT - r9_20101028_17488ifx31
GC - 20101027_AA)
JCL - 20110727_04
tebsdb01:EBST1:/t01/product/db11.2.0.3 >
My first question - what steps have I missed that have resulted in a missing $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts folder
My second question - if my java version is already 1.6.0, is there a need to continue with instaling JRE on the database tier?
This is the first time I am running through a 11g upgrade - hence the plethora of questions.
Thanks so much in advance for your help.
Regards

One last question regarding this 11gR2 upgrade.
My APPS and BA team are now asking what kind of testing they should be doing on an upgraded 11gR2 instance.
Can anyone who has upgraded an instance (DB only) shed some light on this aspect of the QA testing process?Since the database upgrade does not change any of the underlying objects under Oracle EBS schemas, you need to do basic checks to verify this upgrade. Examples are ..
- You can shutdown/startup the database with no issues
- No errors are reported in the database log files
- Submit concurrent programs and make sure it completes successfully
- Make sure CM and all services are up
- Create/Update Users/Responsibilities
- Make sure AutoConfig complete successfully
..etc
Thanks,
Hussein

11g OCM Exam Price

Do anyone know what's the price? Or anyone knows the price of previous OCM upgrade exam price (if any) for an reference?

I wonder whether that is related to the fact that the 11g OCM is not released yet.
IN any case http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=&lang=&p_exam_id=11gOCM shows me that the 2 day exam is priced at US$2000

12c ocp upgrade exam 1z0-060

Hi all,
currently 12c ocp upgrade exam (1z0-060) is validated against Oracle Database 12.1.0.1.0.
any idea when its going to validate against 12.1.0.2 or with some new topics as going to sit in this exam .
So to avoid any surprise near to exam date ,i would like to know is this exam stay some more time with this release or going to change soon with some more topics.
Thanks
kuljeet

I understand changes on production exams cannot be developed so easy, but regarding to this new release it could be good to analyze if could be interesting update the exam.
"Interesting' or not, making topic changes to production exams is a huge amount of work... and not just for Oracle University. When topic changes are made, such as happened with the 1Z0-047 exam on September 15th or last year, it immediately obsoletes all of the test preparation material in existence for that exam, whether it be books, study guides, or practice exams. People making use of these legacy materials are likely to be caught off guard when taking the exam and they determine that they are not prepared for the newly-added topics. It just doesn't make sense unless the changes that were made are extremely significant. With a 'New Features' exam, it is difficult to imagine any new feature being added in a patch release that is so significant that it warrants such handling.
Any time a new release or patch comes out, OU does go through the exam to verify the existing questions still make sense. I don't know to what level they make changes at this point. However, I am fairly certain that if, for example, in version 12.1.0.1 there was a given restriction and in 12.1.0.2 that restriction was removed... any questions on the exam that referred to the changed restriction would either be removed or altered such that the correct answer was not version-dependent.

Oracle 11g upgrade: How to update stale statistics for sys and sysman?

Hi,
I am in the process of testing Oracle 11g upgrade from Oracle 10.2.0.3. I have run utlu111i.sql on the 10g database.
The utility utlu111i.sql reports about the stale statistics for SYS and SYSMAN components.
I executed dbms_stats.gather_dictionary_stats; dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('SYS'); and dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('SYSMAN');
After that the utlu111i.sql still reports the stale statistics for sys and sysman. Does anyone know how to get rid off this warning successfully?
Thanks,
Sreekanth

Does anyone know how to get rid off this warning successfully?Just ignore the warnings. Check The Utlu111i.Sql Pre-Upgrade Script Reports Stale Sys Statistics - 803774.1 from Metalink.

Oracle packages - nested table cursor - 11g upgrade testing

I have a package call Crisis_Contacts. This package has a function(generate_file) in it that has a create cusor statement which calls on another function(split) in another package called NCF_UTL. In testing our code for a 11g upgrade the cursor statement calling on the split function is throwing a Error: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [4814], [5], [0], [0], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [] when compiling the package, which it was not doing prior to upgrade. Can you suggest a possible workaround or mod to this code to stop the error from occuring.
Basically, this code is reading html files and spliting them into section and loading them into the cursor. Then the cursor is read to write them to a table. Then it reads the table and transmits the lines of html to another location.
