Shouldnt Metalink literature be made available for learning aspirants?

When i was working for an organization earlier i would often use metalink for clearing my doubts.
But now when i am not working i am missing it thoroughly as when i am embarking about learning the basics of Backup & Recovery,RMAN and other details.
Shouldn't people associated with metalink consider making some of the content public+ (at least read -only) ,so that interested people can get to basic resolution notes easily?
I am not saying that it should provide all facility to anyone and everyone like current one where users can raise TAR & use it for numerous other purposes.But even a read-only format of most basic things should be really helpful.
Cheers,
Kunwar

KunwarI was trying to reference a post made by Hans indicating that purchase of personal oracle (and subsequent support) can be used to gain access to metalink.
Restricting Metalink to supported customers is a (perhaps not massively unreasonable) commercial decision by Oracle.
It peoples not on support gained access to metalink they'd only start moaning about paches and patchsets ......
.... but I wont get drawn any further than that into the argument.
.... Any if more users are granted access it might grind to a total halt completely from some recent moans I have heard.
IMHO There's enough information available to do basic and intermediate (and even advanced) backup / recovery training without metalink . I suppose one may argue metalink might make available some extra current best practices.

  • Is it possible to take the CDR data from a v4.2 Call Manager and copy it to a separate server where it would be made available for reporting?

    Is it possible to take the CDR data from a v4.2 Call Manager and copy it to a separate server where it would be made available for reporting? We are not interested in migrating the CDR data to v6 because of the concerns it introduces to the upgrade process. Is it possible to get the raw data and somehow serve it from a different machine? (knowing it would be 'old' data that stops as of a certain date). If so, what would be the complexity involved in doing so?
    It seems like the CDR data lives within MSSQL and the reporting interface is within the web server portion of the Call Manager... that's as far as we've dug so far.

    Hi
    It is absolutely possible to get the data - anyone you have in your org with basic SQL skills can move the data off to a standalone SQL server. This could be done most simply by backing up and restoring the DB using SQL Enterprise Manager.
    Moving the CAR/ART reporting tool would be more difficult... if you do actually use that for reporting (most people find it doesn't do what they need and don't use it for anything but basic troubleshooting, and get a third party package) then the best option may be to keep your publisher (possibly assigning it a new IP) and leave it running for as long as you need reporting.
    You would then need a new server to run your upgraded V6 CCM; you may find you need this anyway.

  • [SOLVED] Why is there a PKGBUILD made available for the Android SDK?

    Hello all my fellow Arch users.
    I'm just curious as to WHY there's a PKGBUILD in the AUR made available for the Android SDK. I mean, it's already made available at the Android Developer's website, and the only things you'd need are Java, Python, and 32-bit application support, and correct me if I'm wrong, but usually you have the option to install those the moment you're selecting packages for Arch Linux while you're installing them.
    I don't have anything against the PKGBUILD, it saved me a load of headaches trying to configure the SDK, and limited my pains to merely editing my .bashrc file to include the full path to the Android SDK tools and platform tools folders.
    I find it strange. But then again, I find the concept of an i686-optimized GNU/Linux operating system that leaves all the major configuration to me that also kicks major ass strange as well.

    My brain refuses to form an adequate answer to your question. Downloading $APPLICATION from the developers website, extracting it, manually solving dependencies, figuring out a good path to put it and symlink it to /usr/bin is exactly what you do not want to do on an Arch Linux system, therefore you create a PKGBUILD, which enables pacman to know about the package. Just because it does not need to be compiled, does not mean it is a bad idea to create a PKGBUILD. If this is not the purpose of the AUR, then I must have gotten it wrong entirely.
    Maybe if you took another AUR package (of your choice) and compared it to the Android SDK PKGBUILD, I could comprehend what's different about this one.
    ouch, i was just wondering. i did migrate here from ubuntu after all. but i was just curious, because it reminded me of the android sdk installer gentoo had when i was still running it on a virtual machine a few months ago.

  • Will new batteries be made available for older Mac Books?

    I have a Late 2008 Mac Book Pro 15" model. The battery life ***** on this thing. With the announcement of the new models and the new batteries, is Apple going to make the new battery technology available for the older models?
    I'm guessing they will not given Apple's history, but I thought I would ask anyway. It sure would be nice to be able to get some decent battery life out of my laptop.
    Thanks.

    The newer higher capacity batteries use a different chemistry than the older batteries. There is no real reason that Apple couldn't replace the current battery chemistry with the newer one. However, I wouldn't expect it to happen for another year.
    Not quite true. The OP's issue is with battery life, not battery lifespan. The slightly modified chemistry (they are still lithium polymer batteries, so the basic chemistry is the same) and the adaptive charging on the new batteries account for the lifespan of 1000 charge cycles vs. 300-400 charge cycles.
    However, the increased battery life (i.e. run time on a full charge) is higher with the new batteries simply because they are physically bigger - 40% bigger, according to Apple. The newer, internal batteries are larger due, in part, to the fact that they are non-removable, meaning space formerly taken up by the battery case and latching mechanism can now be used for the battery itself.
    So, although Apple might implement the modified chemistry and the adaptive charging controller in replacement batteries (although I think this is pretty unlikely), there's no way they can make them larger due to the constraints of the machines they are designed for. Therefore, there's no way for Apple to increase the battery life on the older machines.

  • Component should not be made available for backflush during final Backflush

    Hi,
    In REM Scenario, during final backflush system explodes and proposes all components in the header material for GI backflush. Is there any way we can restrict certain materials not to appear for GI backflush and that can be posted at later time.
    your thought and suggestion is well appreciated.
    regards,
    ppcon

    Hi,
    Suppose componenet stock is less at the time of backflush. Now you can do backflush, after that you can clear the error (goods mvt) in COGI.
    OR
    You can do GI later for all components after doing backflush. The setting is available in REM profile. But for certain material not possible.

    There aren't plans for this in the immediate future, but you could achieve this effect with a background image of the shape you want, and then turning the fill of the thumbnails to the [None] color (or the color of the page background).

  • ExternalInterface made available offline

    I am developing a Flash application that will be made available for both online and offline (via DVD).
    Opening the HTML through the web presents no issues. However, if the HTML file is opened locally, Flash Player security stops the application from communicating with local HTML files unless the Flash Global Security Settings is set.
    How can I allow the Flash application to run properly locally without setting the Security Settings of the FP.
