...or if he wanted to concentrate on the Oracle Applications side he could go for any of several dozen app-related certs.
...or the list goes on...
Any certification suggestions made with no further information about the poster than what has been supplied so far are just random choices from the 200 or so possible exam options.  The two options you suggested are probably the ones you considered for yourself.  They may or may not be appropriate to the OP. If the poster had asked for opinions between a given set of certification tracks, that would be entirely different and a much easier question to answer.

  • Which Jdev version to start with?

    Hi all, I have played with java for some time and looked at early versions of Jdev but now want to use it in earnest myself to expand my skill sets. I work primarily with Oracle Applications and would like to create custom modules etc using Jdev and learn this development tool.
    Which version should I start with? Is it better to look at 9 version rather than 10 as there are more resources etc and also more likely to be in use in the world of work?
    Great if someone who uses it in the real world for development could give me some advice.
    Thanks Cel

    There is no reason to start with 9i.
    The way I see it is that you have two options right now:
    10.1.2 - the current production version
    or 10.1.3 - which is currently in a developer preview mode.
    The decision factor can come down to which technology you are interested in. (for example JSF is only in 10.1.3).
    But one more important factor is ADF which is not yet in the 10.1.3 preview - and is especially useful for people who are just starting with Java.
    My suggestion is that you take 10.1.2 and run through the reviewer guide to understand what ADF gives you.
    Then you'll have a better view point on which version to use.

  • Database accidently started with lower version binary.

    We recently upgraded and patched a version 9206 database to 9208. However, after this was done the database was bounced and accidently started with the 9206 binary and it has been running this way for a couple of weeks. My fix is to shut the database down as 9206, reset the environment to 9208 and restart. Is that all I need to do? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks Mike. Just to clarify. The database was a 9208 database at the end of the upgrade. The upgrade to 9208 completed successfully and then I applied the AprCPU2008 patch.
    When we upgrade databases we install a brand new binary patched to the level we want to upgrade to. Then we open the database, in migrate mode, using the new binary and run the catpatch and utlrp. So for a short time I have both the 9208 and 9206 binaries available.
    What happened is that the server the database was on, in a Veritas cluster, was patched the next day. The Veritas resource setting for startup had not yet been changed to use 9208, so when the database came back up after the server patching Veritas used the 9206 OracleHome and binary to start the database.
    So is my fix. "Just shutdown the database using the 9206 binary change the database environment to use the 9208 binary and restart and be done with it." valid. So I really have a 9208 database that was started with a 9206 OracleHome. Hopefully that makes sense.

  • How to get name of class that the JVM was started with ?

    Assume I have class foo with the standard main method.
    I also have classes ding and dong, they extend foo.
    The JVM is started with either ding or dong as the 'main' class. Since neither ding nor dong directly implement main, the actual main method being executed is foo's.
    In the main method of foo I want to construct an instance of either ding or dong, depending on which the JVM was started with. Since I'm in a static context, I can't do anything with 'this'. Is there another way to get the name of the 'main' class from the JVM so that I can construct an instance of it ?

    The idea behind all of this is that the developer of
    Ding and Dong should not have to know anything about
    foo, in particular it's constructors. But if Ding and Dong are subclasses of Foo, then developers must know about Foo. If you expect developers to extend a framework without having a well-defined interface to that framework, you are probably heading for trouble.
    To be able to
    privatize the constructors, construction of the
    concrete class has to take place in foo.If Ding and Dong are subclasses of Foo, then you can not make all of Foo's constructors private.
    Of course I could have a method in Ding and Dong that
    calls a static method in foo into which the Ding and
    Dong instance pass their class, but then I'd have
    identical implementations of this method in Ding and
    Dong. Yes you would (well, not identical, but very similar). Like I said, you could do this programmatically with AOP, or you could probably do it dirtily using stack traces (though with it being a single hit at startup, you might not consider it being quite so dirty).
    But: the point of inheritance is that common
    functionality goes into superclasses. I disagree. The important thing about inheritance is that classes share an interface, and that methods can be polymorphically inherited, allowing new functionality to be 'plugged in' in the future, and even at runtime.
    Also, in
    general one wouldn't make methods static if a class
    reference is needed (or one would make it an
    argument), but Sun didn't consult me when they
    designed the main method :-(I still don't see why you need to do what you want to do. It appears that all you are after is the ability to start your program using a command line like
        java com.mypackage.Ding
    instead of
        java com.mypackage.Foo com.mypackage.Ding
    or
        java com.mypackage.Foo Ding.properties
    or something else along these lines.
    Since you must know the name of the class you want to use at the time you want to use it, why can't you just pass the name as an argument, or start up using some properties file, or a shell script?

  • Knwoing the database was started with which pfile/spfile

    hello to everyone,
    Actually, a question that crossed my mind and I wondered if it's possible in Oracle.
    For an already started database, is there a way to know the database was started with which pfile/spfile? Is there a view that tells this for example.
    Many thnx.
    H Hiruya

    If spfile parameter is null, then you can look for a
    pfile with the name convention of
    init<ORACLE_SID>.ora.Yes, you can, but that won't tell you anything about which pfile was used to start the instance. I can just as easily type:
    startup pfile=/my/pfile/that/does/not/conform/to/any/naming/standard
    There's no way to definitively determine which pfile was used to start an instance.

  • Which Oracle Certification Should I Start With

    Hi,
    I'm looking for some advice on which Oracle certification I should start with. Let me first tell you about me and my business goals. I an new to the SQL world but have a firm grasp of the RDBMS. I have also worked as a Business Analyst for a company that is doing an Oracle upgrade including the EBS. I have had to do some very basic queries. My business goal is to improve my Oracle database skills.
    I would like to add Business (Data) Analyst to my job description some day. I would like to be both a Business Analyst and a Business Data Analyst. I have been asked to work as a jr. DBA in the past, and would like to continue to pursue those options. Currently, my work seems to evolve around Oracle as opposed to the other businesses out there.
    Given this information, which certification would you recommend I start with. Please let me know if you require additional information. This is my long term business goal so I will take as much time as needed to get it done. I was thinking I should start with *1Z0-051 SQL Fundamentals I* (11g). Any thoughts?
    Thank you in advance!

    If you get to Business Analyst than you can go wiht ebs certification

  • Database starts with other user

    Hi everyone!
    I have a rman catalog I want to start with orarman OS user.
    The binaries belong to oracle user, since it's installed in a two-nodes cluster. Active node has the production instance (startup with oracle), and the pasive node the rman catalog.
    There is only one oracle software in each node (which belongs to oracle)
    When I try to start rman catalog with orarman in the second node, it only starts up with oracle user and not with orarman.

    Welcome to the forums.
    Provided the orarman user is in the Unix dba group, you should be able to startup the database.
    In your post you don't show the result of a startup command, not even a startup nomount.
    So far no one can see what you did to reach the result the instance is stopped.
    Can you
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    startup nomount
    if this doesn't work stop here and post the error message.
    alter database mount;
    again if this doesn't work stop here and post the error message.
    alter database open;

    I have similar problem, my apple tv which has always worked properly with my Samsung tv will no longer play any audio after the latest 5.1 upgrade. Very frustrating as it was working perfectly before. I am starting to not trust apple upgrades until proven for example ios6 on iPhone with that stupid map app instead of google maps.
    I just want to buy and hear my iTunes music and videos on my apple tv, could before cant now. Thank you apple. Time to pack up the apple tv and start torrenting without the ios-bs.
    Disheartened apple fan.

    Welcome to the  discussion forums.
    Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade.

  • I want to start my Time Machine. I bought a Goflex Home which says it is compatible with my iMac but it refuses to download an update of the software. This means the Time Machine will not operate. What is the problem?

    I want to start Time Machine. I bought a Goflex Home netwrork storage system, which says it is compatible with Imac. Each time I go online to try to get any updates, it always comes back saying Error. In other words, I can't start Time Machine because I can't get any software updates. Anyone else experiencing problems with Seagate software updates?

    If you want to use Time Machine the Seagate software is unnecessary. The drive is probably ntfs format which is not for the Mac.
    Manually preparing a new disk for Time Machine
    If you want to erase a disk before using it with Time Machine, follow these steps:
    Open Disk Utility (located in the Utilities folder).
    Connect the disk if it isn't already attached.
    In the left side of the Disk Utility window, select the disk you want to use with Time Machine.
    Optional: If you want to partition the disk, click the Partition tab and select a layout. Make sure "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" is selected in the Format menu for the partition that will be used for backups. Click Apply.
    Click the Erase tab.
    Optional: If you want to securely erase the disk, click Security Options to configure, then click OK.
    Click Erase.
    After erasing, open Time Machine preferences in System Preferences and configure as described in the section above.

  • Which NI devices should I buy and how to start with?

    Greetings!
    I am an undergraduate who is trying to design a control system which can measure chemical solution conductivity as well as PH value; besides, based on those values, we need to control 4 valves to open and close so that acid, base, water,and salt from 4 tanks can flow into the main pipe.
    Question: Which NI device should I buy and start with? The devices have to have at least 4 input/output, do you have any suggestion, Thank you very much!!
    I am also new to LabVIEW, so any extra suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you , we are considering purchasing NI USB-6008
    http://www.ni.com/products/usb-6008/
    Doest it work with the following PH sensor, one specification says that it has output voltage of Output 0-5 vdc, does NI USB-6008 accept it?
    Model A1004 pH Transmitter
    Warning
    Do not short the power connections. Wrong wiring of the signal and power wires will result in
    permanent damage to the unit instantly.
    Specs:
    Range 0-14pH
    Power: 12vdc 500ma nominal
    Output 0-5 vdc
    Material ABS
    Calibration trim pots
    Distance up to 50ft
    Model A1004 is a pH transmitter designed to be used with PLCs and microprocessors that accept
    analog input of 0-5vdc.
    Connect any general purpose pH sensor to the transmitter. Double junction sensor is preferred.
    Calibrate unit with 4 and 7 pH buffer solutions. Use zero trim pot to adjust 4pH and span trim pot to
    adjust 7pH..Fine tune adjustment is done with span trim pot.
    If you do not have a sensor , short the bnc connector ,this will simulate 7pH and observe output voltage
    of 2.5vdc.
    Din connector provides power and signal from one cable.
    Note.: When connecting signal and ground to the PLC input ,use .01uf capacitor across signal
    and ground to filter any noise issues.

  • Creating a template in Pages is straight-forward as answered here previously. Is there and equivalent for iBooks Author which can start with a blank page and build up the template as required? or can one only adapt a ready made template?

    Creating a template in Pages is straight-forward as answered here previously. Is there an equivalent for iBooks Author which can start with a blank page and build up the template as required? or can one only adapt a ready made template? This has proved unsatisfactory to me so far. Lines are left in etc.

    There are two basic menus for fonts - one from the main menu bar and one from the toolbar. You can also bring up the font manage dialog.
    I don't recommend trying to hard to force an otherwise foreign font, as it inevitably needs to be usable/supported on iOS as well, and that can get tricky w/3rd party fonts, as an example, even with the expanded font support in the latest iBA.
    If you need to discuss fonts more, I suggest starting a new thread....preferably with a slightly more brief title, thanks.

  • Column name in the database starts with a number!

    Hello,
    Recently we updated out database and we changed our tables' and columns' names, I'm developing an adf application with EJB3.0 the question is that the new column names start with a number (eg. 001U_ID), its a kind of encoding the names of the tables so no one can modify the values.
    When I create a query on the table it is throwing an exception:
    Caused by: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Incorrect syntax near 'U_ID'.
    I think the problem is that the EJB3.0 doesn't recognize column names starting with a number!!! What can I do to solve this issue?
    Thanks
