Smart update / My Oracle Support authentication & MD2withRSA is disabled

Greetings,
We just installed OEM 11g R1 which uses WebLogic 10.3.2.0 using jdk1.6.0_20. We did an all in one install, i.e. 11g DB, WebLogic and OEM 11g R1 on the same OEL 5U5 x86-64 machine and OEM 11g R1 is up and running. The environment is not stable and I was informed that WebLogic must be update with patch WDJ7 using the smart update program, i.e. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/doc.1111/e14143/quickrefax.htm.
When we try to authenticate to My Oracle Support with the smart update GUI we receive an error message "Unable to verify your status" and in the logs we see
"javax.xml.rpc.ServiceException: Error processing WSDL document:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path validation failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: algorithm check failed: MD2withRSA is disabled"
We found a similar post smart update not connecting to my oracle support that said an uninstall and reinstalled of WebLogic with a different JDK solved the smart update / My Oracle Support error.

Could you please help us with a solution to patch WebLogic 10.3.2.0 using the smart update program with ? I'm not sure if uninstalling WebLogic and reinstalling WebLogic with a different JDK will break our OEM installation. Suggestions?
Thank you in advance for your support!

Hi,
Do u hav a supporting license, If so there is a back door solution for this. Contact the oracle support and the them for patch "WDJ7". Copy the path of this .jar in your commonenv.sh file under +"WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH"+.
Restart the server and the patches would be installed.

My Oracle Support - always points me to changing my username?

Hi folks,
I just updated my Oracle Support login information to reflect a new username as per a new company/position I have acquired. However, every time I now go to log in to Oracle Support, it kicks me to "Change Username" page ... and there is no links on that page to go elsewhere?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, has "My Oracle Support" replaced "Metalink"? Its been a while since I've accessed this.

Issues during installation of WDJ7 Patch after new Smart Update version

Hi everybody,
today I installed the WebLogic Server 10.3.2 64 bit to use it for Enterprise Manager Grid Control 11g. One of the prerequisites is the WDJ7 patch for the WebLogic Server.
After the update of the Smart Update on July 11 it is not possible to get that patch over the Smart Update gui (Note: 1294294.1). I tried to download the patch with the id 9438213 over My Oracle Support. The descripton (SU Patch [WDJ7]: Mandatory Patch required on WLS 10.3.2 for Oracle Grid Control (GC) 11.1 install) of the download looks fine, but in the zip file the jar WDJ7.jar is missing. The zip files contains only the following files:
*4D53.jar*
NIXN.jar
patch-catalog_15563.xml
patch-catalog.xml
XLXA.jar
README.txt
How can I get the WDJ4 patch? Do I use the wrong patch id?
Best regards
Christian

If you look at the install documentation of the Grid Control you'll find:
"Ensure that you apply patch ID WDJ7 on Oracle WebLogic Server using the Oracle Smart Update utility. This patch fixes bugs 8990616, 9100465, and 9221722."
After loading the patch into Smart Update you'll see that the 3 entries which appears under tab Manage Patches are in fact fixing those three bugs.

How To Simplify Knowledge Search On My Oracle Support (MOS) For WCI (ALUI)

****** Please feel free to post a reply to this thread if you've found the link provided here useful ******
Where's The WCI Knowledge On My Oracle Support?
Have you been frustrated by how difficult it is to navigate the My Oracle Support "Product Tree" when searching for WebCenter Interaction knowledge articles?
Do you find yourself confused by the number of articles returned from your keyword searches for knowledge that have absolutely nothing to do with WCI Products?
Is there really any knowledge base for WCI products at all?
The answer is yes! In fact it's very healthy and getting healthier every day.
Across the breadth of the the WCI Products (Portal, Collab, Publisher, Analytics...etc.) there are hundreds of current and updated knowledge articles available on MOS.
New knowledge is created from almost every support case where the issue was not otherwise solved by existing knowledge or documentation.
The Support Team is reviewing and publishing an average of 20 new articles a month, each of them solutions culled from actual customer engagements.
We recognize that it can be difficult to navigate the "product tree" to narrow the scope of your search results to ensure it's limited to the knowledge created specifically for the WCI products.
To help make it easier for WCI customers to get to the right knowledge as quickly as possible we've created a valuable link to use anytime you want to search MOS for
WCI product knowledge. The link at the bottom of this posting will limit your search to only the products in the WCI family.
Let Us Know How We're Doing
Did an article help you resolve your issue and avoid having to log a service request?
Was the article perfectly written and exactly what you needed?
Was the article more complicated than it should have been or somehow incomplete?
Make sure you "rate" the article after viewing it and feel free to make comments to improve an article.
Look for the "Rate This Document" icon at the bottom of the view window for the article and click there.
The feedback goes directly to the team that created the article is actively reviewed in an effort to improve on the knowledge already provided
or to help generate new knowledge as needed. The Support Team is striving to ensure that the right information is available at the right time.
<h2>Click this link: WCI Search
The link should take you right to the WCI KM search section on MOS (after you log in) and all you need do from there is enter your key words and "Search".

SUPER userful.
I attempted to use the Knowledge Base on oracle support earlier today to find this precise information and gave up in frustration.
This link definitely helps.

How to check whether a SMTP server is supporting Authentication or not

Hi All,
We are using Java Mail API 1.3.1/1.3.2 to send the messages. some of the SMTP servers that we use are supporting authentication and some of them are not.
As the SMTPTransport.supportsAuthentication() is not available only in Java mail API 1.4.1, we are identifying the SMTP server whether it is supporting authentication or not in the following way.
Socket clientSocket = null;
InetSocketAddress socketAddress = null;
OutputStream outStream = null;
InputStream inStream = null;
InputStreamReader inReader = null;
OutputStreamWriter outWritter = null;
try
clientSocket = new Socket();
socketAddress = new InetSocketAddress(host, port);
clientSocket.connect(socketAddress, timeout*1000); // convert timeout from second to miliseconds
// 1: now try to execute the given command by passing that on Out-Socket
outStream = clientSocket.getOutputStream();
outWritter = new OutputStreamWriter(outStream);
outWritter.write("ehlo localhost" +"\n");
outWritter.flush();
// 2:Read output of above command
inStream = clientSocket.getInputStream();
inReader = new InputStreamReader(inStream);
// This array limit would be fine to get "AUTH" extension of smtp server.
char[] arr = new char[16384];
StringBuilder strBuilder = new StringBuilder();
inReader.read(arr);
for(int i=0; i< arr.length; i++)
strBuilder.append(arr);
System.out.println(METHOD_NAME + "SMTP server response for ehlo localhost command ->"+strBuilder.toString());
// The output EHLO command comes like below :
// ehlo localhost
// 250-ap9058pc.us.oracle.com Hello ap614ses.us.oracle.com [130.35.33.43], pleased to meet you
// 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
// 250-PIPELINING
// 250-8BITMIME
// 250-SIZE
// 250-DSN
// 250-ETRN
// 250-AUTH GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN
// Since for XATUH ( like internal IP),
// we are not sure, so just checking for AUTH capability.
supported = strBuilder.indexOf("250-AUTH") >=0? true : false;
As shown in above code, we are issuing 'ehlo localhost' command to SMTP server, if the response i. 'strBuilder' contains '250-AUTH' then we are assuming that it is supporting authentication.
But for one SMTP server the 'strBuilder' value is showing as '220 mail.durofelguera.com ESMTP Service (Lotus Domino Release 8.5.2) ready at Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:57:20 +0100' only which is socket connection output but not 'ehlo localhost' command output.
where as the telnet test output is showing correct only as below
# telnet mail.durofelguera.com 25
Trying 172.20.16.65...
Connected to mail.durofelguera.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.durofelguera.com ESMTP Service (Lotus Domino Release 8.5.2) ready
at 0
ehlo localhost
250-mail.durofelguera.com Hello localhost ([172.20.15.209]), pleased to meet
yu
250-HELP
250-AUTH LOGIN
250-SIZE
250 PIPELINING
AUTH LOGIN
The question is why the 'strBuilder' is not showing 'ehlo localhost' conad output where as the telnet test results are showing correctly, what is going wrong here?
Is there any other way to check that whether SMTP server is supporting authentication or not?
Edited by: sarojak on Feb 19, 2012 10:11 PM

There are so many things wrong with your code, it's hard to know where to start...
Basically, the problem is not as simple as you think it is.
For example, some servers might not allow authentication until you've issued
the STARTTLS command.
These days, essentially all servers allow authentication. You're probably better
off just assuming the server supports.

Java Plug-in Update on Oracle AS

Hi All,
On my test Oracle Application Server where I have Discoverer installed, I updated my configuration.xml file, but when I log into the Application Server Control as ias_admin and navigate to the Discoverer Plus (Application Server: disccoverer.appsvmrpt02.cm.charter.com > Discoverer > Discoverer Plus), I receive the following error:
An error occurred:oracle.disco.oem.configuration.DiscoConfigurationException: Cannot find element: configuration See base exception for details. Resolution: See base exception for details. Base Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException null
Here is my jvm element from my configuration.xml file which I updated:
after:
<jvm name="sun" classid="clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0012-ABCDEFFEDCBA" plugin_setup="http://appsvmrpt02.cm.charter.com:7778/jpi/jre6u12.exe" version="1.6" versionie="1,6,0,mn" type="application/x-java-applet" plugin_page="http://java.com" disco_archive="disco5i.jarjar" d4o_archive="d4o_double.jarjar" />
before:
<jvm name="sun" classid="clsid:CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-0006-ABCDEFFEDCBA" plugin_setup="\\cm\sys\Tools\MIS_Utilities\Java\Java 6 update 12\javainstall.exe" version="1.6" versionie="1,6,0,mn" type="application/x-java-applet" plugin_page="http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/1.4.2_06/index.html" disco_archive="disco5i.jarjar" d4o_archive="d4o_double.jarjar" />
I did confirm that this element is well formed prior to inserting/modifying.
I also tested the plug-in url by placing it in my browser and this works fine.
I tried to rollback, but I get the following error when I navigate to the Oracle AS Discoverer Plus Configuration page:
An error occurred:oracle.disco.oem.configuration.DiscoConfigurationException: Cannot find element: configuration Base Exception: The requested Entity was not found. Entity Path [system/configuration] not valid. Check log to see if the PlugIn was loaded Resolution: Contact Oracle Support.
I did submit a SR and Oracle is advocating applying CP6. One would think we should be able to rollback (our production box works fine with this set-up).
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Patrick
p.s. Here is my configuration:
System configuration:
OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.3)
Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.55.26)
Discoverer Model - 10.1.2.55.26
Discoverer Server - 10.1.2.55.26
End User Layer - 5.1.1.0.0.0
End User Layer Library - 10.1.2.55.26
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
Copyright © 1999, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.

Patrick,
1. You may want to use the family classid so that it is not coded to a specific minor version
"clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0012-ABCDEFFEDCBA" vs. "clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-FFFF-ABCDEFFEDCBA"
See Oracle's technical note:
Recommended Client Java Plug-in (JVM/JRE) For Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2) (Doc ID 465234.1)
Shouldn't matter too much (for minor version vs. family version) since all Java applets are run using the latest version of the JRE software that is installed on the system.
2. The error
"An error occurred:oracle.disco.oem.configuration.DiscoConfigurationException: Cannot find element: configuration Base Exception: The requested Entity was not found. Entity Path system/configuration not valid. Check log to see if the PlugIn was loaded Resolution: Contact Oracle Support. "
This seems to indicate that something corrupted the Application Server Control plugin. Applying CP6 likely laid down a new correct file. You are right it likely could have been resolved also by rolling back and re-applying the same cumulative path.. This may have been caused by modifying the UIX files. I don't think it is related to the configuration.xm, if you had a bad line in there, you would see an xml parsing error.
3. Speaking of UIX files.
"Lastly, he had to modify the discovererplus_config.uix so that the Java Plug-in drop-down on the Discoverer Plus configuration page would show the Java 1.6 plug-in option. I did not see much documentation on this step."
Just a "heads-up" / reminder for you to document your change in the uix file as any new patch installed after this will overwrite the UIX file. You are correct, there really is not documentation on changing that hard-coded version number in Application Server Control. It likely should have been developed generically with no version number hard-coded. Probably should be an enhancement request.
Regards,
Steve

Exam results not updated on Oracle CertView

I have passed the following exam :
1z0-052 - Oracle 11g Administration I
in October 22 . The exam results are posted in my PearsonVUE account , but not updated in Oracle CertView acount . Only my previous exam ( 1z0-051 , which was in March ) details are there .
I have contacted ( a web-form ) Oracle Certification Support two days ago and they never responded.
My OCA certification is processed only after this exam is updated. How to resolve this ?

It is obvious that Oracle would verify candidates attendance in the Instructor Led Training.
But how many days it takes from Completion of Track Exam and actually receiving certification ?
I have raised SR : 22787267 for getting OCP Logo as its more than 3 weeks that I have received OCP Success Kit.
Can some one from the Certification Team provide answer to this as I'm being constantly asked where I work about the actual Certification.
Can Oracle find a middle way out to such issues as this may be faced with many alike ?
Much Appreciate Your Time !

Edited by: user10268116 on Nov 16, 2011 2:37 PMThis is somebody else's thread.... the subject is certview ... it is not obvious from this thread you are talking about certview.
It would probably be better if you are in your own thread.
Is it that you have access to certview and your certification doesn't show there, or is it that you haven't recieved your certification success kit in the post?
It you register on http://certview.oracle.com you can publish your certification credrentials via email from Oracle Certview to thrid parties who ask.

How far does Oracle Support extend?

Hi,
I have a problem determining how far I am covered by oracle support in a particular circumstance. I intend to use the DMBS_LDAP package to connect to a CAS authentication server.
1. Am I covered by Oracle Support in this scenario?
2. If I am covered, to what extent?/what cover will be provided?
Thanks,
JIM

JIM wrote:
Justin and Billy, from what you have implied. Oracle will support their services to the nth degree, providing there is proof of bug.
Obviously the do not support third party tools. However, Oracle will not refuse support on the issue if I am connecting to a non-oracle product, such as in the scenario I described.Almost. You also need to show that the bug in the Oracle s/w is not caused by a "3rd party" s/w or unsupported/non-certified configuration combinations.
For example, last time I looked Oracle 11.2.x RAC was not certified for VMware. It is certified for OL5.x. So what happens regarding support when you run into a RAC error on OL5.x in a VMware VM? Had this discussion with an Oracle VP last year and he said along the lines of that support will be willing to assist, to the extent of certified o/s support, running on VMware - but should they suspect that virtualisation is the cause (or part of the problem), then one cannot expect support.
So in your case - if you do a DBMS_LDAP search and that crash and burn, Oracle will support that if it is a bug. However if you tried a funky method outside the LDAP specs against a proprietary half-baked implementation of LDAP, then you are on your own.
Anyway, that is my understanding of the issue...
FWIW, been using DBMS_LDAP for some years now against Microsoft Active Directory (authentication and SSO integration, and dealing with escalations and so on that needs organigram data) - no issues. DBMS_LDAP works fine against AD in our case.

How to update an Oracle table from SSIS

Hi there
I've been working in a SSIS project where I need to update a table in an Oracle database that is located in a remote server. Until now I have used the OLE DB COMMAND to do this in a sql server database. To access the data that belongs to the Oracle database
I am using an OCDB task, but this component does not work with an OLE DB COMMAN and I also need to do an inner join with a table in SQL.
This is the schema of the query that I need to perform:
UPDATE OT
SET
OT.COLUMN1= ST.COLUMN1,
OT.COLUMN2= ST.COLUMN2,
OT.COLUMN3= ST.COLUMN3,
OT.COLUMN4= ST.COLUMN4,
FROM
ORACLE_TABLE AS OT INNER JOIN SQL_TABLE ST ON
OT.COLUMN5 = ST.COLUMN5
WHERE
(((OT.COLUMN1) Is Null) AND
((ST.COLUMN2) In ('A1','A2','A3') AND
((ST.COLUMN3)<>'B1' Or (ST.COLUMN3) Is Null) AND
((ST.COLUMN7)=1));
I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.

Hi dj2907,
According to your description, I find that you ever asked a similar question in the forum, and I have answered it. The thread URL is there:

Based on your current requirement, we should change your current provider to Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle supported by Microsoft or Oracle Provider for OLE DB
recommended by Microsoft to access the data in Oracle. Then we can directly use the OLE DB Connection Manager for OLE DB Command. The following similar thread is for your reference:

Harry, Why won't Portal Developers Support Oracle Support???

I just got off the phone with Oracle support and the response is
that they can't provide assistance on my TAR because the portal
developers won't give them the info. Why?
All I have been asking for are the columns/tables in PORTAL30
and/or PORTAL30_SSO that store the page name (and display name),
owner, etc. for each page, content area, application, etc. This
way I can more easily generate a script to do the page/content
area exports/imports instead of going through the navigator and
clicking edit on each object. And how about a data model like
Apps offers its users -- surely one exists so why not share it?
Bob

I'm using this procedure to list all my pages. For now I just
run this in Portal and copy/paste it into an export dos-batch
script which exports all the specified pages. Later I will
update the procudure so that it generates the export script
automatically.
Create or Replace PROCEDURE SUPPORT.DUMP_PAGES
as
CURSOR page_cur IS
SELECT NAME
FROM PORTAL30.WWPOB_PAGE$
WHERE CREATED_BY='USERNAME';
begin
FOR page IN page_cur
LOOP
-- Syntax I need in my export script...
htp.p('call E:\support_dump\dump_page.bat ' ||
page.name || '<BR>');
END LOOP;
htp.p('<P>');
FOR page IN page_cur
LOOP
-- Syntax I need in my importt script...
htp.p('call E:\support_dump\imp_page.bat ' ||

Oracle support for Weblogic 7 under LINUX

Hi,
Does anyone know what happened to oracle support in weblogic 7.0 for linux platform,
as it seems that the drivers are not included? Are there any discussions on that
topic anywhere?
thanks.
Zlatko

It DOES appear that there is support for WebLogic jDriver for Oracle on Linux:
see http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/certifications/certifications/redhat_linux.html#39532
The strange thing here is that, apparently, the Oracle drivers located @ lib/linux/i686/oci817_8/libweblogicoci38.so
and lib/linux/i686/oci817_8/libweblogicoxa38.so are "Type 2" ODBC drivers which
require an Oracle client to be installed on the WebLogic machine, but Oracle doesn't
support installation of the client on RedHat 7.2, which is required (according
BEA's doc) for installation of WebLogic 7.0. Can someone reconcile this apparent
conflict?

Oracle Support SLA

Hi,
I opened a SEV 3 SR with Oracle Support a week ago (6/1 8am) and have yet to get any response whatsoever. Updated the SR on Monday asking for a response and none so far. This has happened a couple of times the last 6 months. I read the latest "Oracle Software Technical Support Policies" pdf on the Oracle Site and the SLA for SEV 3 SR is only mentioned under Priority Service and Priority Service Desk (both say 90% of SEV 3 service requests will be responded to within the next local business day) on pages 13 and 14. Apparently there is no SLA for SEV 3, only option is to have the Support admin upgrade to SEV 2 and pray.
Are there any other docs that outline what the SLAs are?
Thanks

Hi Srini
I have read this Note many times in the past. Why do I have to escalate my SR to a SEV 2 when it is not a SEV 2 issue? Why should I be honest and open an SR as a SEV 3 if it will never get worked on? My point is this process is broken and it needs to be fixed as Support is very expensive. I posted here as Support is not doing anything to fix this broken process.
Thanks
Tom CullenPl re- read that note again - escalation has nothing to do with the severity level of the SR.
