How to purchase DPS enterprise edition?

I've been trying to speak to an adobe sales rep for days now with regards to the DPS enterprise edition, to figure if its the right answer and to get a price for it.
We are a design agency making an interactive catalogue for a client that needs to be either In-house or B2B (password protected).
I've emailed the sales team with no response, I've requested a consultation via the website link with no response and tried a couple of numbers with no response .
I need to get this information as soon as possible, any help for a contact number or how to get a consutlation would be great.
Thanks
Brett

Did you try calling on US Number : Sales: 877-792-3623. If you have already tried this, send me your Organisation details and contact information via PM. I'll try and send this accross to someone who can help.

Hi I hold a full creative cloud membership, Are there any extra costs for DPS enterprise edition? Thanks!

I'm wanting to produce a monthly magazine using the DPS, and was wondering if there are any extra costs or if everything is included with creative cloud full membership.
Ive seen that single editions for ipad are free, but i need to build for multiple platforms and think enterprise edition would be best.
Can anyone advise.
Thanks

Thanks Bob
Ive found the costs, more than i expected...I noticed that you only get 250 free downloads a month, then you have to pay for any extra. Our downloads would be 155,000+ a month, Any idea how much this is? or can you direct me to where i can find out. Our downloads would be 155,000 a month.
Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

DPS Single Edition Rejected

A very interesting thing has occured. We have an Adobe DPS Enterprise Edition account in which we created a single folio edition for. This is a digital version of a photobook we published for a Rabbi in Israel (www.seasonsofthemoon.com). Apple reviewed our app and rejected it and said:
We found that your app is primarily a book and is therefore not appropriate for the App Store, as noted in the App Store Review Guidelines.
Books should be submitted to the iBookstore. To work with Apple on iBookstore distribution, first verify that your content meets the following requirements:
- ISBNs for all titles you intend to distribute
- Is in EPUB format, passing EpubCheck 1.0.5
To obtain an ISBN for your content and learn more about ISBNs, please see US ISBN Agency. Then complete the iTunes Connect Online Application.
Visit iBookstore Aggregators for information on working with the iBookstore aggregators.
My question is: If our app was selling more than one book, for instance, 3 or 4 books, would Apple still reject it?

Try and add more overlays and add more interactivity to your App. Use Scrollable frames, MSO's (like Slideshows). When you resubmit the app, cite examples of other apps in App store with same level of interactivity. That will help in Approval process. Use features that that not available in iBooks and inform apple that you have unique features in your app that are not availble through ibooks.
For reference of other similar books, try finding some here : http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishinggallery/all-apps

A question about Oracle 1g R2 Enterprise Edition license

Dear all,
I have a question about Oracle license and I would appreciate if you could kindly help me.
I have installed an Oracle server (11g R2 Enterprise edition) on a linux virtual machine. The pc used for this purpose
is my enterprise laptop (therefore a professional and not a personal Computer). However, I use the this Oracle Server
only for learning purpose, that is, only for running the examples in my Oracle Press books (SQL, PL/SQL and some
administration tasks) just for learning the stuff.
There is absolutely no data related to my enterprise, stored or used on this server. Whenever I want to work with my
enterprise data, I use the Oracle server of the enterprise which has of course the appropriate license. So as I said, I
use this Enterprise server on the virtual machine only for running queries/programs in my Oracle Press books just for
learning and I'm the sole person who uses this server (no remote connection for other users).
The reason for which I needed to install this server on my PC was that our DBA couldn't provide a training environment
for me with all required privileges and functionalities.
Am I supposed to buy a license for this installed Enterprise server on my virtual machine?
Thanks in advance,
Dariyoosh

I think self training can be considered in this category, therefore I think there is no need to buy a license for that.

Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2 never finishes searching for updates and use 100% of CPU.

Hi everyone, I am having issues updating a clean Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2, so any help with be appreciated cause I've already tried all my cards for the past 5 days in this particular issue without success.
All I did so far is installing Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise with Service Pack 2, open IE to update, it keeps searching for updates and never stop, after 20mn to 30mn the process svchost.exe start using 100% of my CPU.
I already tried the following scenarios:
1- Install IE8, install the update KB927891 and the Windows Update Agent 3.0 (I already had this one installed). Reboot and run windows update trough IE8 and the problem did not solved.
2- Install those 2 software "MicrosoftFixit.wu.MATSKB.Run" and "MicrosoftFixit50777", open IE to update, it still hangs and continues eating my CPU. This is the output of "MicrosoftFixit".
Windows Update error 0x8007000D(2014-01-06-T-06_06_34A) --> Not Fixed
Cryptographic service components are not registered (This service is actually running successfully) --> Not Fixed
3- I found the following script that would register some DLL, deleting the "SoftwareDistribution" and forcing windows update to solve the problem and nothing happened either.
Link to script:

Here is a link to the content of my WindowUpdate.log file:
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=883EE9BE85F9632B%21105
Thank you in advance for helping.

Herein is the root cause of your issue. A topic that's been discussed in several blogs, forums, and even in the media since September regards a known issue with attempting to patch IE6 RTM via Windows Update.
Aside from that particular issue... browsing the Internet with an unpatched instance of IE6, especially from a Windows Server system, is also asking for a world of hurt.
Might I suggest the following:
Download the IE8 for Windows Server 2003 installer to a thumb drive.
Download the latest Cumulative Security Update for IE8 for Windows Server 2003 to a thumb drive.
Reinstall Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2.
Upgrade to IE8 from the thumb drive installer and apply the
Cumulative Security Update.
Now your machine is capable of safely browsing to Windows Update to install the rest of the updates (well, maybe, there's also all those other Security Updates from the past seven years that your machine still has vulnerabilites for -- even those seven
years of updates are going to take a Very Long Time to scan for, download, and install).
Why don't you have a WSUS server? -- noting, wryly, that you've posted in the *WSUS* forum.

Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?

Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?
I currently have SE via creatieve cloud - one of the only reasons we switched to CC was for the DPS SE.
Does anyone know if this capability will just be 'switched off' at midnight 1st May 2015?? There are huge costs for going the enterprise route but with no date in sight for Publish to be launched I am not sure I can wait for this, or should I???

Adobe states: Please note that the Digital Publishing Suite, Single Edition, service will be available for use until May 1, 2015, but beyond that date the service will no longer be available.
So essentially my licence will expire on 1st May - Adobe's note just mentions 'service' - even though part of CC and I will not be able to maintain my app or create any more IPA's after 1st May. I can't beleive there is nothing to switch over to other than paying thousands of pounds for enterprise??
Just all so vauge, feels like a plug is going to be pulled and thats it??? Maybe I am missing something?

Native android apps - with DPS single edition?

Can you build native android apps also with DPS single edition or only with enterprise edition?

Thank you!

(V7.3)RDBMS 7.3 Enterprise Edition NEW FEATURE에 대한 Q&A

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2004-08-13
(V7.3)RDBMS 7.3 Enterprise Edition NEW FEATURE에 대한 Q&A
=========================================================
1. Q) Oracle 7 Release 7.3의 new feature들을 간단하게 알고 싶습니다.
A) 다음과 같이 요약하여 설명드리겠습니다.
New features of 7.3.3 are :Direct load to cluster
Can use backup from before RESETLOGS
New features of 7.3 are :histograms
hash joins
star join enhancement
standby databases
parallel union-all
dynamic init.ora configuration
direct path export
compiled triggers
fast create index
multiple LRU latches
updatable join views
LSQL cursor variable enhancement
replication enhancement
ops processor affinity
Net 2 load balancing
XA scaling/recovery
thread safe pro*c/oci
DB verify
new pl/sql packages
new pl/sql features
bitmap indexes
2. Q) Oracle 7 Release 7.2와 7.3의 새로운 Parallel feature에는 어떤 것이
있습니까?
A) Oracle 7 parallel query 에 의한 parallel operation에는 다음과 같은 내
용이 있습니다.
> Parallel Data Loading : conventional and direct-path, to the same
table or multiple tables concurrently.
> Parallel Query : table scans, sorts, joins, aggregates, duplicate
elimination, UNION and UNION ALL(7.3)
> Parallel Subqueries : in INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE statements.
> Parallel Execution : of application code(user-defined SQL functions)
> Parallel Joins :
nested loop,
sort-merge,
star join optimization(creation of cartesian products plus the
nested loop join),
hash joins(7.3).
> Parallel Anti-Joins : NOT IN(7.3).
> Parallel Summarization(CREATE TABLE AS SELECT) :
query and insertion of rows into a rollup table.
> Parallel Index Creation(CREATE INDEX) :
table scans, sorts, index fragment construction.
3. Q) Release 7.2와 7.3에서 추가된 optimization 기능에는 어떤 내용이 있습
니까?
A) 다음과 같은 기능들이 있습니다.
1> Direct Database Reads
Parallel query 프로세스들은 필터링이나, 소팅, 조인과 같은 작업을 수행하
기 위해서는 아주 큰 테이블을 scanning해야 합니다. Direct Database Reads는
read efficiency와 성능의 향상을 위해 contiguous memory read를 가능하게 해
줍니다. 또한, concurrent OLTP와 같은 작업을 수행시 따르는 경합을 없애기 위
해 버퍼 캐쉬를 bypass합니다.
2> Direct Database Writes
Parallel query 프로세스들은 intermediate sort runs, summarization
(CREATE TABLE AS SELECT), index creation(CREATE INDEX)과 같은 작업의 수행
결과를 디스크에 종종 기록해야 합니다.
Direct Database Writes는 write efficiency와 성능의 향상을 위해 direct
contiguous memory로 하여금 contiguous disk writes를 가능하게 해줍니다.
또한, concurrent OLTP 작업과 DBWR 프로세스에 의한 경합을 없애기 위해 버
퍼 캐쉬를 bypass합니다.
결론적으로, Direct Database Reads와 Writes는 concurrent OLTP와 DSS 작
업에 따르는 복잡한 부하를 조절하면서 Oracle 7 서버를 분리된 형태로, 또한 최
적의 튜닝을 가능하게 해줍니다.
3> Asynchronous I/O
Oracle 7은 이미 sorts, summarization, index creation, direct-path
loading 에 대한 asynchronous write 기능을 제공하고 있습니다.
Release 7.3부터는 보다 나은 성능의 향상을 위해 asynchronous read-ahead
기능을 제공하여 최대한 processing과 I/O의 병행성을 증가시켜 줍니다.
4> Parallel Table Creation
CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT ...와 같은 구문을 제공하여 상세한 데이타를
갖는 큰 테이블의 조회된 결과를 저장하기 위해 임시 테이블을 생성합니다.
이 기능은 보통 intermediate operation의 결과를 저장하기 위해 drill-down
분석을 할 때 사용됩니다.
5> Support for the Star Query Optimization
Oracle 7은 수행 속도의 향상을 위해 star 스키마가 존재하고, star query
optimization을 invoke합니다. Star query는 먼저 여러 개의 작은 테이블을
join하고, 그런 후에, 그 결과를 하나의 큰 테이블로 join합니다.
6> Intelligent Function Shipping
Release 7.3부터 parallel query를 처리하는 coordinator 프로세스는
non-shared memory machine(cluster 또는 MPP) 내의 노드들을 처리하기 위해
디스크나 데이타들 간의 유사성에 대해 인식하게 될 것입니다.
이 사실에 근거하여, coordinator는 data들이 machine의 shared
interconnect를 통해 전달될 필요가 없다는 점에서, 특정 node-disk pair로 수
행되고 있는 프로세스들에게 parallel query operation을 지정할 수 있습니다.
이 기능은 연관된 cost나 overhead없이 'shared nothing' 소프트웨어 아키텍
쳐의 잇점을 제공하면서 효율성과 성능, 확장성을 개선할 수 있습니다.
7> Histograms
Release 7.3부터 Oracle optimizer는 테이블의 컬럼 내에 있는 데이타 값의
분포에 관한 더 많은 정보를 이용할 수 있습니다. Value와 상대적 빈도수를 나타
내는 histogram은 optimizer에게 index의 상대적 'selectivity'에 관한 정보와
어떤 index를 사용해야할 것인가에 관한 더 좋은 아이디어를 제공해 줄 것입니다.
적절한 선택을 한다면, query의 수행시간을 몇 분, 심지어 몇 시간씩이나 단축
시킬 수가 있습니다.
8> Parallel Hash Joins
Release 7.3부터 Oracle 7은 join 처리시간의 단축을 위하여 hash join을 제
공합니다. 해슁 테크닉을 사용하면 join을 하기 위해 데이타를 소트하지 않아도
되며, 기존에 존재하는 인덱스를 사용하지 않으면서 'on-the-fly' 라는 개념을 제
공합니다.
따라서, star schema 데이타베이스에 전형적으로 적용되는 small-to-large
테이블 join의 수행 속도를 향상시킬 것입니다.
9> Parallel UNION and UNION ALL
Release 7.3부터 Oracle 7은 UNION과 UNION ALL과 같은 set operator를 사
용하여 완전히 parallel하게 query를 수행할 수 있습니다. 이러한 operator를 사
용하면, 큰 테이블들을 여러 개의 작은 테이블의 집합으로 나누어 처리하기가 훨
씬 쉬워질 것입니다.
4. Q) Release 7.3에는 어떤 제품들이 있습니까?
A) Oracle 7 서버 Release 7.3.3에 대한 제품 리스트는 다음과 같습니다.
단, 모든 플랫폼들이 리스트된 모든 제품들을 지원하지는 않습니다.

P.S. I have checked the CD rom itself by doing the installation in our classroom on a Windows XP Pro machine and it loaded like a charm. I have been emailing and calling Compaq customer support on this issue, and I've done everything they've suggested, including a Quick Format of the hard drive. I am still getting the same results. I have been able to load a small program (Palm Desktop) on the Compaq without a problem, so I don't think it's the CD drive that's the problem, either. Thanks for any help you can give me!!! Deborah

Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for Windows 8.0.6

I’m a naïve user in Oracle and would like to know the following details from the Gurus.
Any information in this regard will be highly appreciated !
We are trying to use Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for Windows 8.0.6 for some specific reason.
Some general doubts regarding the installation.
1.     Is any installation specific to the OS language (English/Japanese) ?
2.     Say, if I get an installation for Windows, would I be able to use the same for a Japanese Windows version?
3.     During the installation, choose the default language as Japanese?
Also, if we would need to install Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for Windows 8.0.6 in a Japanese OS, what should we do?
Can we procure a license for the same? Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for Windows 8.0.6
Can we get the media?
Please advice. Many thanks in advance.

The best way to arrange this is to contact Oracle sales and talk very nice to them.
You are asking to have someone provide you with a piece of software that was very full of bugs and made obsolete before year 2000. Oracle will probably not be very happy to do that.
Besides, Oracle is so upward compatible that - unless you depend on the bugs - you should be able to use any currently supported version. Such as Oracle9i or Oracle10g.

8.1.7 Enterprise Edition install

I have downloaded the 8.1.7 Enterprise edition for Windows 2000 and when I run setup.exe under disk1 the program appears busy for a few seconds and then stops. We have 8.1.6 running on a Sun but need to run Oracle on Windows 2000 to test some new software. Is there a step that I am missing for the install to run?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

It is possible that you have some services in conflict with Oracle Installer. I cannot tell you which exact name. If you go into control panel->administrative tools->services try to see if you have MSDTC running or not, if you do, stop it. If not, look for some other services that doesn't appear to be essential and stop it.

BIP desktop vs BIP enterprise edition.

Hi,
WHat is the difference between BIP Desktop and BIP Enterprise editon. I installed BIP Desktop first and coverted few Answers reports. I tried to sftp the report and was not successfull. I contacted oracle support and was informed that I need to install BIP Enterprise edition and apply a patch to the server version for the sftp to work. Now I have both desktop and enterprise edition installed on my machine. Now I am totally confused. I have few questions.
1. In which case do we BIP Desktop and BIP enterprise edition.
2. Will the microsoft word pugin work only for the desktop version?
3. When I connect to BIP now I am not sure if I am connected to Desktop version or enterprise edition.
4. When I run BIP from presentaion services I see that I am connected to the desktop version as I see few of my developed reports in there.
5. After I installed BIP Enterprise edition I see the 'Start BI Publisher' and 'Stop BI Publisher' in the start menu. When I click on start BI Publisher I am connecting to BIP and in there I dont see any reports. SO I am assuming it is the enterprise edition version.
6. If I want to ftp reports from enterprise edition version how do I do it.
Please help. I am totally confused with two versions installed. Thanks in advance.

BIP Desktop is for Report/ RTF template development and testing purpose. It is against the static data or if you have installed Enterprise, you can connect to live data as well. While enterprise is the complete product with all the functionality.

Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0

Hello,
Maybe you can help me (new on RMAN backup) in doing this.
I have configured a single Oracle 10g database to have backup with RMAN with following steps:
1. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/rman_scripts
2. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/logs
3. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/tracking
4. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/c_backup
5. $ sqlplus sys/<password> as sysdba
6. SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size = 50G scope=both;
7. SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest='${ ORACLE_BASE}/flash_recovery_ area' scope=both;
8. SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_10='location= use_db_recovery_file_dest';
9. SQL> shutdown immediate
10. SQL> startup nomount
11. SQL> alter database archivelog;
12. SQL> alter database open;
13. SQL> alter database enable block change tracking using file '${ORACLE_BASE}/tracking/rman_ change_track.f';
14. $ rman target /
15. RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK
TO '/var/opt/oracle/flash_ recovery_area/ORCL/c_backup/% F';
16. RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
17. RMAN> CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
18. RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
19. RMAN> exit
I need to configure incremental backup with RMAN on a two node Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 installation.
We also use ASM to store database files, and have Oracle software installed on separate file systems (two Oracle roots for Node1 and Node2).
I have following questions:
1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
Below is the script used to run RMAN on the normal Oracle database (without RAC) which I need to change :
=============================================================================================
2.0 Oracle backup script: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh
Use this for daily backups, possiblly as a cron job.
Once a week run this: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh FULL
All other days of the week: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh INCREMENTAL
Note: You may have to change ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE below to match your database.
=============================================================================================
#!/usr/bin/ksh
ORACLE_SID=orcl
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/app/oracle

Hi [email protected],
Q1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
A1) With RAC: on the shared storage
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
If you want your backups to be available for both nodes you have to use shared storage or tape using an mml library.
So if you want to use the FRA for rman backups and the database is on ASM just make ASM the standard for the FRA as well.
Q2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
A2) Than you cannot recover in case Node1 is down. Best would be to send your storage admin to a training course so he can manage the clustered raw devices needed for ASM.
Q3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
A3) No see A2.

Tycho
