WLS10.3.0 and Oracle DB 12c

Hi
we've WLS 10.3.0 (we've extended support) and Oracle Database 11g DB 11.2.0.4 running under HPUX 11.31 U ia64
We plan first to upgrade to Oracle 12c.
Question: is WLS10.3.0 supported together with Oracle DB 12c.
Its planned to to do WLS10.3.6 upgrade in a separate step - later - 10.3.6 and 12c - this combination is valid (according the Certifcation page)
Best regards
Thomas

You can also patch up 10.1.3.0.0 with 10.1.3.1.0 patchset and then deploy SOA Suite components like BPEL, ESB, OWSM to the same OC4J. This will reduce the number of Oracle Homes on your machine.

Can i use "Oracle Database 12c: Performance Management and Tuning " training for getting certification on "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning 1Z0-054"

i have taken "Oracle Database 12c: Performance Management and Tuning new" training from oracle university. Now i would like to get certified on "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning 1Z0-054" exam. Is it possible ?

I essentially endorse and refer you to Matthews' and John's post above.
I would differ with slightly with Matthew because my guess is you would often be able to use like for like 12c training for an 11g certification ( I believe there are precedents). BEFORE ANYONE ASKS THE OTHER WAY DOESN'T HAPPEN.
.... but totally concur with Matthew you would ill advised to procede on that basis without one of:
- This being advertised as possible on the website : e.g. https://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=654&get_params=p_id:169 ... option 2 show courses.
- Confirmation from Brandye
- Confirmation from an Oracle Certification Support Web Ticket ( http://education.oracle.com/pls/eval-eddap-dcd/OU_SUPPORT_OCP.home?p_source=OCP )
... The more common (and in my opinion usually better) way would be get your 11g DBA OCP ( or higher first) and then take the 1z0-054. I am almost certain they will accept your 12c course for the 11g DBA OCP.
If you are choosing the route of not being a 11g (or 12c ) DBA OCP first but are on option 2 and relying on the course for certification then the issue is more in the balance and you are even more strongly advised to get confirmation before proceding (remember if the rules need to be changed for you only then any profit out of the exam is lost).
In general my understanding is Oracle would prefer to encourage people to train on the latest version of product that is available for training and will prefer to avoid restrictions which would cause you to train at a lower version. ( This is simply my guess at Oracle University Policy ... personal opinion only).
Having said all I have said I'd encourage you to go with the advice of the earlier two posts.

IZ0-047 and Oracle '12c'

Hello,
According to this article http://www.computerworlduk.com/news/applications/3361449/oracle-12c-database-set-for-december-or-january-release/
The new version of Oracle '12c' is scheduled to be released on December this year or January 2013...
I just wanna know if the IZ0-047 : SQL Expert will still be valid for the new version of Oracle?
your thoughts?
Thanks

I just wanna know if the IZ0-047 : SQL Expert will still be valid for the new version of Oracle?It depends on what you mean by 'valid'. If you are asking whether people certified as SQL Experts will continue to have a valid certification, I guarantee that will be the case. Oracle does not invalidate existing certifications when new releases come out. The SQL Expert certification, like the PL/SQL developer certifications (and unlike the DBA certifications) is not 'versioned'. Someone getting this certification today does not become an "Oracle 11g SQL Expert".
If you are asking whether the content of the SQL Expert test will still be valid for Oracle 12c, the question becomes (slightly) grayer. I have not been following Oracle 12c. I know that it's supposed to be cloudier, but little else about it. It may well contain significant new SQL functionality that should be included in the SQL Expert exam. However, I'm certain that it will not invalidate the information that exists in the current test. Oracle will not abandon ANSI SQL or remove existing functionality. Even if new functionality exists and Oracle decides to add it to a new version of the Expert test, this is unlikely to happen for quite some time following the release and would probably require a new beta exam. In all, a new 12c-enhanced test (if such were even to happen) wouldn't be available until 2014.
I can't see worrying too much about it myself. If you're interested in obtaining this certification, then I would go for the current version rather than waiting on some future update that may not happen for years.

Does EM 12.1.0.3 support Oracle DB 12c as managed target and repository database?

Oracle released EM cloud control 12.1.0.3 last week. The certification matrix on My Oracle Support does not list Oracle database 12c as a supported managed target or repository database. Is the cert matrix wrong, or does Oracle have no version of cloud control that supports the 12c database?
Thanks

Oracle database 12c is supported as a managed target - but not as repository. MOS is being updated to reflect this shortly.

Does Analytic Workspace Manager 11.2.0.3.0A work with oracle database 12c?

hello,
i would like to know if AWM 11.2.0.3.0A works against with oracle database 12c in pdb mode or not .
regards
jm

I have attempted to connect 11g versions of AWM to 12c and get this error:
'This version of Analytic Workspace Manager is incompatible with the database instance. The Analytic Workspace Manager version is 11.2.0.3.0 and the database compatible version is 12.1.0.0.0'
So unfortunately it is not compatible, and there is currently no AWM for 12c
I also contacted Oracle support and they wont give me any information about a release date or any information on the xml template specification for 12c.
I guess we will just have to wait till they release a version of AWM that supports 12c...

Oracle ODAC 12c Release 3 32-bit supports EF 6.x?

Hello,
I have Windows 8.1 64-bit with Visual Studio 2013. I installed the latest Oracle ODAC 12c Release 3 32-bit which says it supports EF 6. When add the ADO.NET Entity Framework to my project and choose my Oracle data connection, it doesn't allow me to select the Entity Framework 6.0 version. It has Entity Framework 5.x selected and version 6.x is greyed out. It says 'An Entity Framework database provider compatible with the latest version of the Entity Framework could not be found for your data connection'. Why is that?
Thanks

How is your app.config? You need to have the Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client provider in your app.config:
<configSections>
    <section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
    <section name="oracle.manageddataaccess.client" type="OracleInternal.Common.ODPMSectionHandler, Oracle.ManagedDataAccess, Version=4.121.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
</configSections>
<entityFramework>
    <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework" />
    <providers>
      <provider invariantName="Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client"
          type="Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework.EFOracleProviderServices, Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework, Version=6.121.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
      <provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
    </providers>
</entityFramework>
I have experimented a bit more, and suggest the following:
1) Remove any Oracle driver references for the various projects. Close Visual Studio.
2) Uninstall ODP.Net.
3) Reopen Visual Studio and install the latest version of Nuget package "Oracle Data Provider for .NET (ODP.NET) EntityFramework" (I have "6.121.1-beta (Prerelease)"), and include this package both for your data libraries and the application itself.
This will make sure that the completed application will have all the necessary drivers, and ensures that all users will be able to compile and run the solution - all the references will point to the dll's included in the Nuget package.
3) Edit: As the Nuget package I reference above is not authored by Oracle I'd recommend waiting for the correct official Nuget package - I solved it by adding references to Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.dll and Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework.dll located in the local Oracle Home, with "Copy Local" set to True, to ensure that they are distributed along with the package. I added the references after installing the newest version of the ODAC package.
4) Close Visual Studio and install the latest (beta) version of ODP.Net - this will enable you to run the import wizard. (Currently12C R3 Beta 2 - get the 32 bit version: ODAC 12c Release 3 Beta Download).
5) Reopen Visual Studio. Make sure that both the application and data library has the <entityFramework> above.
In this way - any other computer can run and compile your project - they just need to get the Nuget package with the managed driver dll's. But - to run the wizard you need to have ODP.Net, it seems.

To my knowledge the plug-ins are not yet supported for WebLogic 12c.
"For information on WebLogic Server 10gR3 (10.3.0) and 11gR1 (10.3.x) Web Server Plug-In support, refer to My Oracle Support Doc ID 1111903.1 on https://support.oracle.com"
- New plug-ins will be released for WebLogic Server 12c.
- The location for the WLS 12c plug-ins will be released when they are available.

Oracle weblogic 12c 64bit

64-bit version of Oracle WebLogic 12c download .When will there be.

It's not the WebLogic Server (which itself is just a Java application, albeit one that provides lots of services to provide a Java EE environment for other apps) that is 32 or 64 bit, but the underlying JVM.
It just so happens that for installation convenience BEA/Oracle have provided special installers that bundled up WebLogic with 32 bit Windows or Linux JVMs in the past. However these are equivalent to you installing your own JVM and then running the generic .jar installer.
Note some platforms (though not Linux) need the -d64 option - check the install docs.

Oracle XE 12c

Oracle 12c will be realeased soon (by the end of the year). As well there will be (I assume) a new release of Oracle XE. Did anybody heard, what will be the limitations of Oracle XE 12c?

First the for-fee editions on prio platforms will need to be released, not only by word on OOW, but in installable form. I'm guessing starting from q1 2013. Then maybe a release for OS X. Then perhaps some other for-fee products will follow, like Fusion apps or middleware products, that depends on new version database libraries. After that maybe a new XE will see light of day...
I think you are at least 6 months too early (and that's counting from 2013-01-01). Let's hope your guess is better than mine.
Re limitations, even if there would be some rumours, they would not be set in stone yet.

Help needed for Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Oracle Database

Hello - I currently signed up for an online Introductory Course for Oracle...we need to download the Oracle Database and I was trying to download version 10g on my Mac. Do I need to have Mac OS X Server to do that? I currently run OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Alternatively, I have a PC with Windows 8 - is there a download available for this machine?

Currently, there is no available database software that is certified with Mac OS X.
Which version of Win 8 ? If you have a certified version listed at Oracle Database Preinstallation Tasks , then you can download and install 12cR1 from Oracle Database 12c Release 1 for Microsoft Windows (x64)</title><meta name="Title" content="Ora…
If you have Home version. you will have to install VM software (such as free Oracle Virtualbox), then install Linux in the VM (free from https://linux.oracle.com), then install 11gR2 or 12cR1 in the Linux VM - pl google for my blog for detailed steps

Re: Oracle ODAC 12c Release 3 32-bit supports EF 6.x?

I am also facing same problem with latest ODP.NET. Our existing application with 11G and EF 4.3 DB first worked very well. We need to migrate our application from 11G to 12C. But its showstopper for us to proceed. Please help us.
My environment details
Latest Oracle ODAC 12c Release 3 - 32-bit released on 24-Dec-2014
Visual Studio 2013 Update 3 - 32 Bit on Windows 8.1 64 bit OS
Entity Framework 6.1.31219.0 (EntityFramework.6.1.2)
I have tried with .Net framework 4.5, 4.5.1 and 4.5.2.
The latest EntityFramework.dll (6.1.31219.0) added to project reference, EF 6.x option alone comes also getting greyed out.
If I remove EntityFramework.dll from project reference, getting only option to use EF 5.0
Tried various config file changes, different versions of EF (6+), also tried reverting to ODAC 12c Release 3 Beta. I could not make it working 12c ODP.Net with EF 6+ DB first.
Please suggest us the ideal environment for 12c ODP.Net with EF 6+ DB first.
Thanks

Have you set the entityFramework correctly in the local app.config/web.config? You need to set it both in any libraries using the code and in the deployed application.
And - how is the system.data/DbProviderFactories in the correct machine.config? You either have to have it set in the correct machine.config or the local app.config/web.config files.
Here's my working local config file, using the 12c R3 release version dll's and the managed drivers:
<configSections>
    <section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
    <section name="oracle.manageddataaccess.client" type="OracleInternal.Common.ODPMSectionHandler, Oracle.ManagedDataAccess, Version=4.121.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
</configSections>
<entityFramework>
    <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework" />
    <providers>
      <provider invariantName="Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client" type="Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework.EFOracleProviderServices, Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework, Version=6.121.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
      <provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
    </providers>
</entityFramework>
<system.data>
    <DbProviderFactories>
      
      <remove invariant="Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client" />
      <add name="ODP.NET, Managed Driver" invariant="Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client" description="Oracle Data Provider for .NET, Managed Driver" type="Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory, Oracle.ManagedDataAccess, Version=4.121.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
    </DbProviderFactories>
</system.data>
<connectionStrings>
    <add name="MyOracleModel" connectionString="DATA SOURCE=MySource;PASSWORD=MyPassword;PERSIST SECURITY INFO=True;USER ID=MyUserName" providerName="Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client" />
</connectionStrings>
And for example
<oracle.manageddataaccess.client>
    <version number="4.121.2.0">
      <dataSources>
        <dataSource alias="MySource" descriptor="(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=MyService)))" />
      </dataSources>
    </version>
</oracle.manageddataaccess.client>
for explicit server settings or
<oracle.manageddataaccess.client>
    <version number="4.121.2.0">
      <settings>
        <setting name="TNS_ADMIN" value="C:\app\path\to\tnsnamesdotora\here\network\ADMIN" />
      </settings>
    </version>
</oracle.manageddataaccess.client>
..to point to a tnsnames.ora file.

WLS10.3.0 and Oracle DB 12c
