RoboHelp vs. Oracle User Productivity Kit

I have always used RoboHelp to create help files, but now my
company is exploring using Oracle's User Productivity Kit. Does
anyone know of Oracle UPK, and how or even if it compares? Does
anyone know if Oracle UPK only works with Oracle apps? Help I need
some good answers.

Welcome to the forum.
I haven't used Oracle's UPK but I am guessing it will be much
like the Sun Java Kit. See my site for a topic on that.
Both will produce a help file and other documentation. But
see what I say about JavaHelp.
Neither of those tools are high on the list of tools used by
authors.

  • 8.3 Tutorials P6 user Productivity Kit (UPK)

    Hi,
    Where are the P6 Tutorials (P6 user Productivity Kit (UPK)) for EPPM 8.3? I remember it was part of the 8.2 install but in 8.3 this seems not to be included in the installer. The media pack for 8.3 mentions P6 Tutorials.

    This is what I found in the P6r8.2 documentation for the Oracle hosted UPK.
      http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E25030_01/P6UserProductivityKit/
    I'd recommend using the Oracle hosted UPK URL's that are listed in the documentation unless you need to host the UPK locally for appending to or editing.

  • Need user Productivity Kit or similiar resources for CRM

    Hi All,
    I've used User Productivity Kit (UPK) for Order Management, Service Contracts, Account Receivables and other financial products of E-Business Suite. Now that I've switched over to CRM, I'm looking for UPK or similar resources for learning CRM.
    Have Zeroed down on the following topics to get started with CRM but since I don't have access to e-Business instance from home, I'm finding it difficult to learn them without UPK. Request you help me get UPK(if available) or similar resources to get some hands-on training.

  • User Productivity Kit (UPK) - What is the KContentUser for, specifically?

    What exactly does the KContentUser do with regards to UPK?  It appears to act as a database user, which I found in Support article 1399963.1, but what other functions does it take part in?  Do end users use this or do they connect anonymously to the UPK content?
    Best regards,
    Winston Price

    HI Winston,
    The KContentUser is an application user created on the web server side (IIS) during the application installation. It does not have to do much with the database.
    The KContentUser is used as identity to run certain application pools in IIS and it requires special permissions. It is not mandatory to use this user to run the application pools. you may run the app pools under 'Network Services' user and make sure you assign correct permissions to NetworkServices user as per the installation guide.

  • Can not start WLS as oracle user

    I am not able to start the WLS (10.3.2) as the oracle user.
    I am able to start it as the root user but i don't have root access so i always have to ask our admin to stop and start the server...
    What do i need to do to be able to start and stop the WLS with the oracle user?
    Their are 2 errors i get... When i started the server as root and i need to restart it and i try it with the oracle user i get this:

    I know the error says something about bootstrap or something which i thought to be something to do with a password... But when i run the same startup with root user i do not get this error...
    So what do i need to do so i can start the WLS without having to login as the root?

    Hi,
    Could you first check if you have read/write/create permissions on the folder:
    /oracle/product/wls10320/user_projects/domains/webcenter_domain/servers/AdminServer/data/ldap/ldapfiles/EmbeddedLDAP.tran
    If yes could you try deleting the the ldap folder from "yourdomain/servername/ldap" and then restart the server.

  • Oracle user can't see all files in a folder. Why?

    I've installed oracle 10g (32 bit) in Oracle EL (32 bit). When I attempt to start the database from the oracle user, it throws the following error:
    ORA-01078:failure in processing system parameters
    LRM-00109:could not open parameter file '/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/initorcl.ora'
    As an oracle user I checked the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and found these two files visible:
    initdw.ora & init.ora
    But as root user i found the following files existing in the directory:
    hc_orcl.dat, initdw.ora, init.ora, lkORCL.ora, orapworcl & spfileorcl.ora
    echo $ORACLE_SID returns the value as "orcl".
    I followed the possible issues from the following thread:
    ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
    and
    http://mohamedazar.com/2010/04/27/ora-01078-failure-in-processing-system-parameters/
    but since the files are not visible for the user, but available to the root, what are the possible solutions that I should try for?

  • Oracle user password into ApEx?

    I'm not sure this is possible - but wish it was...
    Here, Oracle user's passwords are managed by an automated process and I need to get new/changed passwords (the same one) into ApEx. It would save a lot of time and effort if I can grab, massage, and then put it into wwv_flow_fnd_user's web_password, web_password_raw.
    It would be great to hear that Oracle used the same obfuscation routines for both Oracle (sql*plus) and ApEx.
    Doesn't Oracle concatonate the username with the password when creating the obfuscated password? If so, is this the case for ApEx?
    Any advice?

    Steve,
    There's an overview of some of the new features here -
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/whats_new_2.2.html
    However that doesn't cover a lot of the features (you'll notice that the database authentication isn't mentioned there). The Apex 2.2 release is currently running on the public Oracle server (http://apex.oracle.com), so if you already have an account on there then you will be able to see the "Database Account Credentials" method listed in the authentication types, although obviously you won't be able to use this method on the public server.
    Hope this helps

  • Oracle User Group in Germany

    Hello,
    I just came back from the DOAG (German Oracle User Group)
    conference. HTML db seems to be much more popular than I
    thought - and that's good. There were no free chairs in the
    room at all. People were sitting on the floor.
    Tomorrow is the second day. There are at least three or
    four topics related to HTML db. Happy to have a chance to
    attend the courses.
    More and more people are starting to realize and admit
    than HTML db is much, much more than just a replacement
    for Access and Excel. It is making competition to Oracle
    own products that have this heavy aura of "serious"
    programming interfaces (J2EE, Portal,
    ...). People are using it with SAP, BAAN or standalone.
    I saw the roadmap for HTML db. Looks quite promising. If
    only the half of the planned features appear in the next
    version it will become unbeatable (and I was told it is
    unbreakable?).
    They demonstrated the new "session state protection"
    feature using checksum. This was one of the bigger issues.
    Now, it doesn't seem to be an issue any more.

    Denes,
    Thanks for posting this update from DOAG. Unfortunately, I was unable to make it.

  • ORA-12154 as oracle user, whit the root account it works fine

    Hello there,
    I've a problem with a client installation if I try to connect to the database. I've the following configuration:
    1. Database: Running on a Ubuntu Jeos VM, Oracle 11g (Release 11.1.0.6.0 64 bit)
    2. Client: Running on a CentOS 5.2 VM, Oracle Client 10g Linux 32bit
    I've configured the tnsnames.ora and stored it in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory. The content of the tnsnames.ora file is the following:
    ORCL64=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=192.168.12.128)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=orcl)))
    If I try to connect to the database as the oracle user with the following command sqlplus SYS@ORCL64 AS SYSDBA, I'll get the ORA-12154  TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified error message. If I try the same as the root user it works fine and I can establish the connection. The same result I've got if I try the command tnsping ORCL64. As the root user the tnsnames adapter can resolve the alias, as the oracle user this is'nt possible and I'll get the error message: TNS-03505: Failed to resolve name. In both he uses the paramter file /u01/app/oracle/network/admin/sqlnet.ora. The content of the sqlnet.ora file is the following:
    NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT).
    Have you any suggestions how can I resolve this problem to get a connection with the oracle user.
    Thank you in advance

  • Struggling with oracle clustered production environment

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement to upgrade Oracle Data Integrator(ODI) from 10.1.3.5 to 11.1.1.6.3 We have a Clustered production environment where N1 will be up when N2 be down and viceversa.
    Here N1 and N2 are the ODI servers as well as DB(11g Release 2) servers. They both access the SHARED CLUSTERED database.
    From ODI we will generally point the Oracle clustered IP(Virtual IP) which will internally point either N1 or N2 whichever is active.
    ODI application wise we are clear about the procedure.
    Having some issues on DB related activities.
    1. Should I break the cluster definitely? Cant I do the activity without breaking the cluster?
    2. Do I need to point N1, N2, Clustered IP (Virtual IP) while doing the activities?
    3. Since its a clustered database, do I need to db related activities once or twice? (Twice means, manually on both the servers)
    4. As they are using same file structures (RAC), If the Virtual IP points N1 by default, assume that I create two new users and log in is success. Now i manually point N2 and what will happen if I try to log in to the two new users from N2. will it work?
    5. If it will not work, then what would be the solution for this?
    Please someone suggest about the clustered environment production problem.
    As this is high priority, early response would be highly appreciated.
    Need Expert's suggestions for the sequence of steps that to be carried out for a successful migration in clustered environment.
    Many thanks in advance..!

    This is an ODI question.
    Please discontinue your question here and continue it in your duplicate thread here Struggling with oracle clustered production environment
    Apart from that, ODI is a front-end tool. If you have any clue about RAC: for ODI it doesn't matter whether your database is RAC or not. the issue is you installed a front-end tool in a RAC environment.
    Finally:
    As this is high priority, early response would be highly appreciated.For high priority questions there is paid support. This is a forum of volunteers.
    Asking for high priority is IMO insulting and rude.

  • Announcement - UK Oracle User Group Meeting 09-Sep-2004

    The UK Oracle User Group Development Engineering Special Interest Group which covers the Forms and JDeveloper Tools will be holding one of it's regular meetings in Oracle's Reading Offices (UK) on the 9th September 2004. For details see http://www.ukoug.org/calendar/show_event.jsp?id=436.

    I agree.
    What's needed is at least 5 years of ongoing active Support (including emerging new Platform Versions).
    If Sun/Oracle expects their clients to migrate to a new product, they should provide detailed migration information and usable migration tools (covering existing Components and Plans, inheritance, Dependencies and installation history data) to protect the substantial investments existing clients have made in the N1SPS framework.
    Of particular interest for my client are the virtual host concept and modeling of dependencies over multiple hosts for application server (Oracle WebLogic) clusters.
    I'm not sure if Sun/Oracle did fully understand the potential of N1SPS - especially for managing (their own) Middleware products - when they decided to EOL N1SPS.

  • Encountered an error while getting the ORACLE user account for your concurrent request. Contact your system administrator

    Dear Techies,
    We have registered an Extra Information Type as self service OAF page and did some validations using user hook which are working fine. But for some requests EIT creation page is throwing below errors.
    1. Encountered an error while getting the ORACLE user account for your concurrent request. Contact your system administrator.
    2. An unexpected situation occurred while executing routine FND_DATA_SECURITY.GET_SECURITY_PREDICATE_HELPER.The cause was: The parameter 'p_object_name' cannot be 'GLOBAL'.
    System throws these errors whenever user hook suppose to throw our customized validation messages.Since we are at UAT instance, we are bouncing apache and oacore to get rid of these errors every time they appear. But we cannot bounce once it is moved to production.
    Kindly share some ideas  to fix these errors as we are very close to Go-Live and we are facing this issue with all EIT's and SIT's.
    Thanks and Regards
    Dileep Kumar.

    Hi Mahesh,
    Thanks for reply.
    I have gone through the link that you have suggested. But our EIT user hook validations doesn't  have any code related to submission of concurrent programs. More over our error is not stable. If we bounce the apache and oacore, the system will work fine without unexpected errors for some time. We are not even able to replicate these errors.
    Thanks and Regards
    Dileep Kumar.
