Requirement for finishing OCA - Oracle 9i SQL-PLSQL

Hi,
I am planning to give the OCA certification in SQL-PLSQL Oracle 9i.
Please let me know, after successful completion of both the SQL and PLSQL exams, do I also require to have the Oracle certified training to get the certificate from Oracle.
On the below URL
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=152
There is no such mention. Howerver for OCP, it is required to have the training.
I called up few of the test centers and they all told me that I have to undergo the Oracle training, then only I will get the certificate. However, I dont feel that I need training to clear the OCA certification Oracle 9i.
Please confirm me on the requirement of training for getting the Certificate from Oracle on succesful completion of both SQL and PLSQL exams.

Saurabh

SaurabhFor PL/SQL OCA you do not require training to get the certification. Nor do you for PL/SQL OCP (For a lot of OCP's you do have to have training).
- Of course Oracle would recommend ou have training.
Please note that the PL/SQL OCA and OCP certifications are non version specific.
With the best will in the world a (Pearson VUE) test center only really deals in exams, they do not deal in certifications.
However some Test Centers may also be associated with training establishments.
You may have been given mis-information for one of three reasons I can think of:
1) They may have misunderstood your question.
2) The may have genuinely not known the answer, and because DBA OCP needs training they may have thought and not checked Pl/SQL OCA needs it.
3) They may have been fraudulently trying to sell you training you did not need.
You can always book the required exams online anyway.
BUT HOLD ON A SECOND ... ;-) ... BEFORE I SLANDER PEOPLE OFF: :-) [ There's meant to be a smiley here bu it keeps disappearing ]
The link you have given is for 9i DBA OCA/OCP .... and to get the 9i DBA OCP you DO need to have training.
The certification you have asked about is (9i) PL/SQL OCA/OCP ..... and the required page for that is here .....

If you look at this carefully you may be able to begin to confirm what you want.

Uploading Production Requirements For Finished Goods From External System To Run MRP For Components in SAP.

Hello Production Planning experts,
I'm looking to solve the current business problem:
The company bought a third party software (JD Edwards) to calculate production requirements instead of using SAP's standard Production Planning or a tool like SAP's APO. They run a batch job to query Sales Orders, Deliveries, available stock, stock in transit, etc. from sap and feed/upload it to the third party software so it can calculate the Finished Goods Production Requirements for them. They love the third party software, so replacing it is not an option. Since the third party software is already taking into account Sales Orders, Deliveries, available stock, stock in transit, etc. from SAP, it just outputs a "Finished Goods Production Schedule" by week.
My questions are:
1) What's the best way to upload something like that in SAP in the form of Planned Orders or something of that nature?
After i get that schedule in SAP:
2) Is there any way to calculate components' requirements for that "Finished Goods Production Schedule" alone? The company would like to IGNORE existing stock AND expected-goods-issues in the future (sales orders, deliveries, etc) for Finished Goods ONLY. The components calculations would work the standard MRP way, taking into account existing stock and AND expected-goods-issues in the future (sales orders, deliveries, etc)
I started looking into Master Production Schedule (MPS), but I don't know if that's the right approach since I'm not very familiar with it.
Thanks in Advance! I will gladly reward points for helpful/correct answers.

Hello Oscar
I suggest you to upload your production plan in the for of "Planned Independent Requirements" using BAPI BAPI_REQUIREMENTS_CREATE. Later, MRP will create planned orders to cover the PIRs.
If you don't want to consider the existing stock of the finished product, you should use the planning strategy 11 to create your PIRs. Take a look on the following link for more details about this planning strategy:
Gross Requirements Planning (11) - Demand Management (PP-MP-DEM) - SAP Library
Here you will find the following information:
The make-to-stock strategy gross requirements planning is particularly useful in mass production environments; it is often combined with repetitive manufacturing. This strategy is particularly useful if you need to produce, regardless of whether you have stock or not. For instance, steel or cement producers might want to use this strategy because they cannot shut down production; a blast furnace or a cement factory must continue to produce, even if this means having to produce to stock.
This strategy is also frequently used if there is a Material Requirements Planning system in a legacy system that needs to be linked to an SAP system which serves as a production execution system. The legacy system calculates a specific production plan, which has to be executed, regardless of the stock situation in the SAP system
It looks like this planning strategy is exactly what you are looking for.

Ports required for GG setup (Oracle to Oracle replication )

GG version: 11.2.1.0.1
OS : RHEL 5.4
We are going to configure GoldgenGate which is going to replicate the DMLs for few tables (Uni-directonal) from source to target.
Since there is a firewall between source and target, We need to request the network team to open ports at both source and target servers.
For manager process , we are going to use the default 7809 both at source and Target. What are the other ports that we need to request the network team to open for both servers ?

Hi,
If a firewall is being used at an Oracle GoldenGate target location, additional ports are required on the target system to receive dynamic TCP/IP communications from remote
Oracle GoldenGate processes. These ports are:
● One port for each Collector process that is started by the local Manager to receive propagated transaction data from remote online Extract processes. When an Extract
process sends data to a target, the Manager on the target starts a dedicated Collector process.
● One port for each Replicat process that is started by the local Manager as part of a remote task. A remote task is used for initial loads and is specified with the RMTTASK
parameter. This port is used to receive incoming requests from the remote Extract process.
● Some extra ports in case they are needed for expansion of the local Oracle GoldenGate configuration.
● Ports for the other Oracle GoldenGate products if they interact with the local Oracle GoldenGate instance, as stated in the documentation of those products.
To specify these ports, use the DYNAMICPORTLIST parameter in the Manager parameter file.
Follow these guidelines:
● You can specify up to 5000 ports in any combination of the following formats:
7830, 7833, 7835
7830-7835
7830-7835, 7839
● The ports must be unreserved and unrestricted.
● Each Manager instance on a system must use a different port list..
Although not a required parameter, DYNAMICPORTLIST is strongly recommended for best performance. The Collector process is responsible for finding and binding to an available
port, and having a known list of qualified ports speeds this process. In the absence of DYNAMICPORTLIST (or if not enough ports are specified with it), Collector tries to use port 7840 for remote requests. If 7840 is not available, Collector increments by one until it finds an available port. This can delay the acceptance of the remote request. If Collector runs out of ports in the DYNAMICPORTLIST list, the following occurs:
● Manager reports an error in its process report and in the Oracle GoldenGate ggserr log.
● Collector retries based on the rules in the Oracle GoldenGate tcperrs file
For more information about PORT and DYNAMICPORTLIST, see the Oracle GoldenGate Windows and UNIX Reference Guide.
Hopefully this will help you

Hardware Requirements for OC4J and Oracle DB

Hi,
I'm looking for some information about hardware requirements for a server that will run a Oracle DB and OC4J. It will be used for training purpose (about 10 people) and for running small apps using ADF.
Does anybody knows how much hardware I need?
Is there any documents from Oracle for hardware requirements?
Any help appreciated. Thanks

Greetings,
We routinely develop and test on a Dell Vostro laptop with OS Windows XP and 4GB RAM. The key is to either run the Oracle db in a VM (10.2.0.1) with at least 0.5 GB RAM for the VM or use the XE db. I personally prefer the XE db as it is lightweight and easily configured or uninstalled. As far as oc4j is concerned, a lot can be done to improve the efficiency by modifying the oc4j.cmd file in driveletter:/oc4j/bin:
set JVMARGS=-Xmx512m -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit -server -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dclass.load.trace=class-not-found -Dclass.load.log.level=finestThe JVM args settings are fully explained at:

Minimum requirements for deploying a package on Sql Server 2008

I am trying to setup a restricted login to deploy packages. At the very least I need to avoid using the sysadmin server role however all of my testing seems to point to my restricted login requiring it which sort of defeats the purpose of a restricted
login. Without the sysadmin account I get the following error: Create failed for JobStep

Role
Read action
Write action
own package roles.
db_ssisoperator
Enumerate all packages.
View all packages.
Execute all packages.
Export all packages.
Execute all packages in SQL Server Agent.
None
Windows administrators
View execution details of all running packages.
Stop all currently running packages.
Sysssispackages Table
The sysssispackages table in msdb contains the packages that are saved to SQL Server. For more information, see sysssispackages
(Transact-SQL).
The sysssispackages table includes columns that contain information about the roles that are assigned to packages.
The readerrole column specifies the role that has read access to the package.
The writerrole column specifies the role that has write access to the package.
The ownersid column contains the unique security identifier of the user who created the package. This column defines the owner of the package.
Permissions
By default, the permissions of the db_ssisadmin and db_ssisoperator fixed database-level roles and the unique security identifier of the user who created the package apply to the reader role for packages,
and the permissions of the db_ssisadmin role and the unique security identifier of the user who created the package apply to the writer role. A user must be a member of the db_ssisadmin, db_ssisltduser,
or db_ssisoperator role to have read access to the package. A user must be a member of the db_ssisadmin role to have write access.

Is Ansi c cc compiler for HP-UX require for installation of oracle 9i (9.2)

Hi.
I'm doing an installation of Oracle 9i 9.2 on HP -UX Itanium version 11i. The installation fails when OUI tries to relink executables. Release note clearly states "Requires Ansi c cc which is located in /opt/ansic/bin".
Is this Ansi c cc a requirement?. I don't have a /opt/ansic/bin directory.
Help will be greatly appreciated ...!

Hi.
I've read that already and linked files with the root user, because I don't understand what they mean by enable superuser privileges. Superuser privileges for whom? the oracle user?. How do i do it? by making it a part of root group?. Anyway, as i said, i made those links as the root user and tried to install DB with same result.
Now if you read release notes, it clearly states that ansci c cc is required and is located at /opt/ansic/bin. I'm afraid I don't have that directory, so i assume i have to install ansi c cc. Since this is stated on release note, i consider this information more current.
Please review release note and let me know what you think!.
Regards Luis !

Help required for doing LIKE search in SQL

Hello All,
I have situation like below

INSERT INTO @TempTable(Name1, Name2)
VALUES('_HASKAR','BHASK_R')
SELECT *

WHERE Name1 LIKE Name2
Both the columns are having WildCard (underscores). How can I do like search so that the where condition will be TRUE?

amar ankatha

Hi,
If I understand correctly, the position of H, A, S, K, R is fixed in the strings and you can use
SUBSTRING function.
DECLARE @TempTable TABLE (Name1 VarCHar(100), Name2 VarChar(100))
INSERT INTO @TempTable(Name1, Name2)
VALUES('_HASKAR','BHASK_R')
SELECT *
FROM @TempTable
WHERE substring(Name1,2,4) = substring (name2,2,4) and right(Name1, 1) = right(Name2, 1)
Thanks.

Query Regarding the Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA

Hi All
I am planning to go for the certification "Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA "
But I am not sure what is value of this certification in market.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance
Amit

My view is this: The more you can put on your resume, usually the better. By itself, its not worth anything. Combined with several years of experience, it could make a difference. If you go for a job and have 5 years of experience and a certification, and the other candidate just has 5 years, as long as you both interview well, I'd say you have a slightly better shot because you have that extra thing on your resume.
You need to look at it in that respect - but its not a magic key to get you any job. Of course different countries may be different in how they view certiciations.

Hardware Requirements for a SCCM 2012 CAS with SQL Server Remote

The hardware requirements for a CAS server with SQL Server Enterprise locally installed are:
16 cores (Intel Xeon L5520 or comparable CPU)
64 GB of RAM
1.5 TB of disk space for the operating system, Configuration Manager, SQL Server, and all database files.
Does anyone know what the hardware requirements are if SQL Server Enterprise is remote from the CAS server? It's not listed. -Shane

Even though I am going to be strung up for even saying this, I do agree there is a use for a CAS outside of 100,000 users. If you do indeed have distinct admins managing their own images and apps in remote
locations then I see the benefit of a CAS. A remote ConfigMgr console connecting to a primary site would perform poorly. Admin A at the primary site would not experience any issues but Admin B would be in for a lot of work and waiting. Any
time Admin B needed to add an app or image it would have to be copied up to the remote primary site and then distributed back down. This is not the best scenario.
There are scenarios in company merger situations (and others I am sure) where the management of both locations has not been consolidated down to one location yet and is not going to be done as part of the deployment or upgrade. If you had a 2007 environment
it is going to be very hard to convince the admin at the remote location that this upgrade is going to be a good thing for him/her. There is an option for the remote admin to RDP into a server in the primary site but the image and apps still need
to be distributed down to the remote location. During testing this can be very time consuming.
I do agree that adding a CAS adds additional complexity but in some cases such as the one I described it is the right decision.
Thank you for the reply. And i totally agree that in some cases a design like that is a necessary evil (but not by our personal wants).
We had that design with 2007 (implemented before my time), and as you predicted EU admins complained about difficulty using the console RDP-ed into a box close to the primary site. The bandwidth to and from different regions is out of scope for me so I do what
I can with what I have. We too will be moving forward with a CAS hierarchy.
Administratively the other IT depts in other regions operate on their own. I dont handle any of the EU computers on a day to day basis whatsoever, etc. We're not merging but our IT shops operate with near independence.

Hi ,
Thanks for your reply.
Contents of my initMYSQLSERVERDSN.ora file is
# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that are
# needed for an ODBC Agent.
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = MYSQLSERVERDSN
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME = hsmsql.trc
# Environment variables required for the non-Oracle system
#set <envvar>=<value>
set ODBCINI=c:\WINDOWS\ODBC.INI
SALIHKM.DOMAIN.COM is my system in which Oracle Test DB is Installed.
SQL Server is in another location.
In Tnsnames i specified ip address.
One more doubt.
I am using 10g Release 2 demo version.
whether it will support Hetrogeneous Services?
How to know whether a database supports HS or not?
Thanks & Regards
Salih Km
