RDBMS and RAC
You can't beat the accuracy of this article title: Using
Physical Standby with transient Logical Standby (SQL Apply) for near zero
downtime upgrade of two node Oracle RAC database from 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3.
And if you are even one digit off, the whole thing
is a no-go. Well, on the other hand, I'm betting you can find some good content
on the principle of the matter in there as well. It's from Guenadi N Jilevski's Oracle BLOG.
Also in the realm of the DB, one of our favorite blogs here at the Infogram, the Upgrade your Database - NOW! blog, posted an informative article on some of the foibles of the Data Pump: Data Pump: Consistent Export?
PeopleSoft
Over at the PeopleSoft Technology Blog there's a
pointer to resources (actually a renaming of a resource, but with some very
nice additions): Introducing
the PeopleSoft Interaction Hub.
Performance
I don’t think I’ve ever linked to the Databases and
Performance blog, and I’m not sure why. This article called All
Outer Joins Are Not Equal certainly seems interesting.
OBIEE
A down to hard tacks, blow by blow on the new OBIEE
from RittmanMead: OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 : New
Features, Oracle BI Mobile HD, and Patching & Upgrade Considerations.
APEX
I like the YA genre. Adding 'Yet Another' is still
managing to be amusing through the years, like the numinous term 'I like pie'
(many mathematical types write it as I like Pi, but that's just silly). So here
is some recent good news from the (YABAOAE) Yet Another Blog About Oracle
Application Express: Application
Express 4.2 Early Adopter 1 available.
WebCenter
Speaking of resources, here's a pointer to some
goodies for WebCenter from the Oracle WebCenter Alerts blog: WebCenter
Content Technical Resources.
Applications
Mobile Computing
An op-ed piece from someone at the curiously named iHeavy, Inc +1-212-533-6828 blog who has
tried both side of the Apple/Android fence: Why
The Android Ecosystem is Broken.
It seems in computing, as often in history, one has
to find a middle ground between freedom and security, but reality tends to go
one way or the other with no middle ground.
…And Finally
More sad but true wisdom from the Mock Sage of
Central Asia's cousin in IT:
“Every of devops team is have at least 3 shell script which is
critical and is not in source control or backup.”
