Comment regarding new statement of direction

Hi all,
I've just read the new statement of direction regarding Oracle Workflow (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/workflow/workflow_sod.html). Especially regarding the standalone version it is a great pitty that Oracle will kick such a good and stable product into the garbage can.
I'm not convinced that BPEL can replace Oracle Workflow. Also I'm missing a real migration path. It's not only Workflow that needs to be re-implemented. For example our custom application would have be to re-implemented as well because Workflow is one of the central components.
So if I read "In addition, Oracle are now recommending that customers who have Oracle Workflow workflows in development or production that they plan to continue to enhance in the future should begin re-implementing those in BPEL." or "While there will be some development costs associated with the migration of existing processes from Oracle Workflow to Oracle BPEL Process Manager..." this brings me to some critical thaughts about the future of our custom application.
What are your thaughts and comments?
Best regards
Matthias

They also removed the entry about charting (Charting - Provide for chart rendering without using Flash (to enable display on mobile devices).)... Guess this will be in the next release (4.2) or next MAJOR release (5.0??)..
Thank you,

Oracle Workflow - Statement of Direction and BPEL

Hi,
I am starting to study Oracle BPEL and other people at my company are studying Oracle Workflow.
Recently I found the following article at the OTN, regarding the Statement of Direction of Oracle Workflow:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/workflow/workflow_sod.html
It finishes saying:
"As Oracle BPEL Process Manager provides out-of-the-box features for building human-based workflows, rules-based process automation, and integration style business processes, further development on OW4J will not continue and OW4J will not be released.
Any new or existing customers who wish to build business processes in the middle tier are recommended to use Oracle BPEL Process Manager."
So my question is: Does Oracle BPEL provides (or will provide) all the functionality implemented in Oracle Workflow ? If not what are the main differences ?
I will be waiting for your thoughts
Thanks,
Claudio.

Site mentioned above is an internal site. External site is http://otn.oracle.com/bpel
I think the above highlighted SOD is about Oracle initiative to re-write current pl/sql based Workflow engine in Java so that it can ported to middle-tier. Since the acuisition of Collaxa they seems to be dumped that idea and positioning Oracle BPEL as the middle-tier process orchestration (BPM) solution.
Having said that let me take a shot at comparing Oracle Workflow and BPEL products....
Oracle Workflow
* No way getting dropped as Oracle EBS has huge investments in it
* Oracle Fusion Applications has plans to use the Oracle Workflow BES functionality extensively
* Good for modeling business processes within a single DB/application instances. It's possible to integrate with external apps but not an elegant solution
* Web Services can be a functional activity with in the work flow but again not an elegant solution. Requires DB java, queues and a listener
* Doensn't provide sophisticated modeling artifacts like TaskManager, Faults, sensors etc out of the box. It's possible to build your own library.
* Better performanent if the entire process interaction is within a single instance like Oracle EBS account generators, approval flows etc.
* Based on proprietary technology
Oracle BPEL
* Based on standards like BPEL, WSDL and WSIF
* What ever you can do in workflow can be done in BPEL but not the otherway round
* Has adapters to interact with various transports like JDBC, AQ, JMS, JCA, HTTP. That means integration with existing workflows is very easy
* Interation with Oracle AQs seem to be trivial as there is a native JCA based adapter for it
* You may get performance hit because of the multiple connection points. You may be loosing performance but gaining in flexibility
Overall Oracle BPEL seems to be the way to go if your business process involves multiple applications.

A Simpler, More Direct Question About Merge Joins

This thread is related to Merge Joins Should Be Faster and Merge Join but asks a simpler, more direct question:
Why does merge sort join choose to sort data that is already sorted? Here are some Explain query plans to illustrate my point.
SQL> EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
2 SELECT * FROM spoTriples ORDER BY s;
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT |              |   998K|    35M| 5311   (1)| 00:01:04|
|   1 | INDEX FULL SCAN | PKSPOTRIPLES |   998K|    35M| 5311   (1)| 00:01:04|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Notice that the plan does not involve a SORT operation. This is because spoTriples is an Index-Organized Table on the primary key index of (s,p,o), which contains all of the columns in the table. This means the table is already sorted on s, which is the column in the ORDER BY clause. The optimizer is taking advantage of the fact that the table is already sorted, which it should.
Now look at this plan:
SQL> EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
2 SELECT /*+ USE_MERGE(t1 t2) */ t1.s, t2.s
3 FROM spoTriples t1, spoTriples t2
4 WHERE t1.s = t2.s;
Explained.
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT       |              |    11M|   297M|       | 13019 (6)| 00:02:37 |
|   1 | MERGE JOIN            |              |    11M|   297M|       | 13019 (6)| 00:02:37 |
|   2 |   SORT JOIN            |              |   998K|    12M|    38M| 6389 (4)| 00:01:17 |
|   3 |    INDEX FAST FULL SCAN| PKSPOTRIPLES |   998K|    12M|       | 1460 (3)| 00:00:18 |
|* 4 |   SORT JOIN            |              |   998K|    12M|    38M| 6389 (4)| 00:01:17 |
|   5 |    INDEX FAST FULL SCAN| PKSPOTRIPLES |   998K|    12M|       | 1460 (3)| 00:00:18 |
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
   4 - access("T1"."S"="T2"."S")
       filter("T1"."S"="T2"."S")I'm doing a self join on the column by which the table is sorted. I'm using a hint to force a merge join, but despite the data already being sorted, the optimizer insists on sorting each instance of spoTriples before doing the merge join. The sort should be unnecessary for the same reason that it is unnecessary in the case with the ORDER BY above.
Is there anyway to make Oracle be aware of and take advantage of the fact that it doesn't have to sort this data before merge joining it?

Licensing questions are best addressed by visiting the Oracle store, or contacting a salesrep in your area
But I doubt you can redistribute the product if you aren't licensed yourself.
Question 3 and 4 have obvious answers
3: Even if you could this is illegal
4: if tnsping is not included in the client, tnsping is not included in the client, and there will be no replacement.
Tnsping only establishes whether a listener is running and shouldn't be called from an application

Designer dead - statement of direction

Just stumbled across the document "Oracle Forms, Oracle Reports, Oracle Designer Statement of Direction."
Didn't particularly like what I read:
"....Oracle Designer will not include new features...."
The way I read it, Oracle will seize further development of the generators (web plsql/forms/reports etc.)
Designer will still be supported, but new features will not be introduced as from now.
I hope I have read this wrong?

Statement of direction . . .

Hi,
I've read this Statement of Direction. I saw a couple of interesting remarks.
But one of them confuses me a little bit:
Note that htmldb.oracle.com is not an environment to deploy production applications.
Can someone explain to me Why? (or not), some Arguments to write this ?
Roel

Hi me!
Strange to reply to yourself.
After reading the document two times more I understand that this remark does tell something about the trial site that Oracle deploys as a service to their customers.
So, now I understand that HTML DB must be an environment to deploy production applications.
And I really agree with that!
Sorry I posted the first message

Detailed Stat Macbook Fan Question

Dear Apple Community,
After quite some time spent online sifting through threads related to macbook fan noise, overheating, and everything related to it i have finally decided to ask directly for some guidance as i have yet to find a clear solution.
My problem, like many, is that the moment i start using my CPU more than just a few % , temperatures soar out of control and i guess as a result so does my fan.
I have double-triple check alternate causes for this problem. Definately not the printer-que issue as some have posted before.
It is 100% as soon as i go out of idle and use CPU problem starts and noise because problematic when sitting in library.
Here is a quick table on what happens when i go from using just excel to starting and using flash animations/journals/magazines and then back to idle again.

Here are the stats of my Black Macbook 13'..

Bus Speed:          667 MHz
System Version:          Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
My questions is what i can do to be able to work with normal programs without my mac going crazy? Is it thermal paste problem? Fan seems to work, but maybe i need to open up and either clean with compressed air or replace fan? Other solution?
Thank you for taking time to respond.
Best regards.

Solid-state hard drive questions....

Hi, I'm going to get a new Macbook Pro soon to replace my archaic 17" wobbley screened Powerbook and I'm having some dilemmas about picking the hard drive. So heres a few solid-state questions I was hoping you could answer:
How much faster is solid state than disk (disc?), for example I run Flash and Photoshop alot. If a go for 8gb of ram and 3.somthing processor, will there be a noticeable difference in the speed of these apps opening/running if the hard drive is solid state?
and...
If I go for normal hard disk now, is it possible to upgrade the hard drive at a later date (doing it myself or through Apple) to a solid one?
It's an extra 600 quid that I could be spending on crisps, so is it worth the money?

While I can't comment on the speed I can comment on changing the internal drive. In short it's a 10-15 minute process. My recommendation would be to start with a traditional HD and see if it's performance is adequate before considering an upgrade. If not as mentioned the upgrade is extremely easy. In fact here is a video that shows it.

Solid State Drive Upgrade Questions

Hello!!
I'm looking at removing the optical drive (recently deceased) from my MacBook Pro as I rarely use it and can use my friend's external one for the rare occasions I'd need it, and replacing it with a second hard drive. I've heard that this port can't reliably handle 6Gbps speeds so I'm going to put my 1TB mechanical drive in place of the optical drive and put a 64GB solid state in as the "main" drive.
My intention is as you might expect, to use the SSD for OS X and applications.
My first question, is what folders do I need to copy onto that SSD? I'll be using Carbon Copy Cloner to do this task. Do I have to select every folder on the source drive and just unticking any media and data that I'm going to keep on the mechanical 1TB?
When I have the two drives installed, where will my 1TB data appear? Will it still show up in Finder as it does with a single drive, or will appear as another storage device as if it were external? If it's as another device, can I make OS X make it look like everything is on the same drive?
I don't know a huge amount about this stuff, I know enough to do the copying and changing of hardware but not that much about working with OS X in Terminal or anything like that so please be patient if I ask lots of "How to" questions If there are online guides already answering my questions it'd be great to have some links, I've had a hard time finding them!
Thanks

Solid state drives have yet to become a worthwhile venture as their use in high end computing has not yet been proven. One of the biggest problems with SSD's is the fact that they cannot come to par with traditional drives in terms of random write speeds. Most people take a performance hit with these types of drives except for the exception of one company, which has gotten speeds up to traditional drive speeds.
However, sequential read and write speeds are marginally faster than traditional drives, which gives u a boost on boot, which is noticably faster. For most business users, the upgrade to an SSD will not yield any tangible results except when transferring bulk files back and forth, at which point one would notice a significant performance hit. Regarding battery life, the first time I used a SSD, it didn't help with battery life at all that was noticable. However, it was well worth the upgrade as it made the laptop literally silent and cool. It's surprising how much sound hard drives make these days ....
My two cents is that the SSD is really an expensive looks-only aesthetic mod but in terms of CG heavy users - not worth it yet unless you can run it in RAID 0 or 5 with 4+ drives, bringing performance quite up to par. At that point, a desktop machine running RAM drives from Gigabyte might even be better....

Solid State Drive (SSD) Questions for G4 "Sawtooth".

Below are some questions concerning using a Solid State Drive (SSD) in a G4 "Sawtooth".
Would a controller card need to be installed for an SSD to work in this machine?
Would the G4 be able to operate in Classic mode with the SSD?
Would the G4 be able to boot into OS 9 with the SSD?
Should the SSD be used only for booting and applications, with user data stored on another drive that does not use SSD technology (such as an ATA or SATA drive)?
Should only 50% of the drive space be used, in order to ensure optimized performance?
Would the G4 only be able to use the first 128 MB of drive space of an SSD that has a capacity greater than 128 MB? If so, would either of the below cards enable the G4 to read the entire drive?

Would a controller card need to be installed for an SSD to work in this machine?
One like this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technology/TSATA/
Would the G4 be able to operate in Classic mode with the SSD?
Yes.
Would the G4 be able to boot into OS 9 with the SSD?
Depends on the controller card, but with the linked card, it shouldn't be an issue.
Should the SSD be used only for booting and applications, with user data stored on another drive that does not use SSD technology (such as an ATA or SATA drive)?
Smaller capacity drives will limit file storage, and keeping OS and applications separate always improves performance, regardless of the drive type.
http://www.jcsenterprises.com/Japamacs_Page/Blog/00E03B83-1ADA-406E-A940-396D39F 598EA.html
Should only 50% of the drive space be used, in order to ensure optimized performance?
SSD's can be filled further, but should maintain 20GB or more for virtual memory.
Would the G4 only be able to use the first 128 MB of drive space of an SSD that has a capacity greater than 128 MB?
A controller card removes that limit.
If so, would either of the below cards enable the G4 to read the entire drive?
Those controllers will work for and allow use of large capacity ATA drives.
