You can also copy and manually edit the VMX file to reconfigure the new server.

Also note that if you have snapshots this clone process will not clone the data that came after the snapshots. You have to merge the snapshots first - at least as far as I can tell

Good information.
Question: how was oc4j directives with dynamic mount points dealt with?
An Metalink Doc Id: 739881.1 goes in detail, however I did see it this document.
In version 10.1.3.4, this is an important part in restricting Web Application Access By VirtualHosting.

Re: PIPELINED PL/SQL function performance

Mostly for Search Functions where the .NET code was attempting do do everything in one big SQL statement. Large performance gains were seen.

I was very open with the developers and said they could have implemented the same logical solution in their language of choice, I prefer PL/SQL.

My dad has managed a Japanese steakhouse for 25+ years, now a Benihana, before that a Samurai, and I worked there off and on in a lot of roles for many years. I can relate to fried food smell that sticks.

Re: Concatenating lines in ldapsearch results

I was having a problem with this script. It doesn't handle the situation where the continuation line contains spaces. Here's a better version:

$cnt=0;
while ($line = <>) {
chomp($line);
if ( $line =~ /^authpassword/ ) {
next;
} elsif ( $line =~ /^\S+/) { ### this line is a "normal" or starting line
$results[$cnt++] = $line;
} elsif ( $line =~ /^$/ ) { ### this line is blank
$results[$cnt++] = "";
} elsif ( $line =~ /^\s+(\S.*)/ ) { ### this line is a continuation
$results[$cnt-1] = $results[$cnt-1] . $1;
}
}

for $i (0 .. $cnt) {
print "$results[$i]\n";
}

Re: Configuring Multiple Weblogic IIS Plug-Ins On Same IIS Server

dannorris — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:13:48 -0000

I don't think I understand the question. Depending on how your network and DNS records are configured, users on the internet and intranet should have equal and same access to the environment.

The ORACLE_HOME throughout the process remains the middle tier (Portal) O_H--you never switch to use the INFRA O_H during this process as outlined in the post.

Thanks, Kyle. I had the VPN installed too, just too many other things that I
felt it better to conform with the corporate standard for now. I don't
anticipate it will be too long to go back to the Mac--I miss it a lot
already.

I knew before I joined that there is a lot of MacOS in use at Oracle. I just
reverted to Windows long enough to make sure I have all the necessary
software components. I hope to go back to Mac soon.

Thanks for the heads up!

Dan, there are OS X versions of the Cisco VPN and there used to be an OS X version of iPass. I can do everything except participate on Web Conferences because it requires IE. Now if we would just release 11g on OS X I could even do testing on my MacBook Pro.

I'll bring it up next week if you don't see this comment before then.

$ORACLE_HOME at steps 6 and under is the INFRA oracle home or the Portal (App) Oracle Home?

Thanks

Re: Portal Virtual Host Configuration

greekguy — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 07:59:28 -0000

Hi Dan!

I am trying to do exaclty the same configuration for Portal with one virtual host but although I can access the portal from the main setup URL, when I try to access it from the Virtual Host , I get this error:

You cannot access this screen because the enabler configuration is missing. (WWC-41974)

This was also the error I was geting with the default Oracle documentation, but at that case when I accessed first the Portal from the virtual host URL, then also the main URL didn't work. So I guess following your config, I solved the problem with the different versions / virtual host.

I guess I am doing something wrong with the SSO registration...

Any ideas would be very welcome and helpful.

Thanks for your blog post anyway!

DSL drops could be due to your distance from the headend, which if I had to guess, is pretty far, being in the 'burbs and all.
Ditch the XP and roll your own Linux install. I have the Cisco VPN package for Ubuntu, or use your MBP for work, like many of us do.

The most important thing to do when starting a new job is, find out where the toilets are. As you're working from home you've got that one sorted. The rest is plane sailing. :)
