I recently implemented OID/SSO with E-Business Suite 11.5.10 CU2, and experienced some issues after the entire setup went smoothly. I hope this note might help others troubleshoot, as it took me a while to figure out the root cause of the problem.

Hello everyone,
Reading PlanetMySQL today, I discovered that Alex Gorbachev’s announcement that he has released the first public beta of his Oracle Grid Control plugin for MySQL was not aggregated! This is probably because Alex is primarily working on our Oracle space and so his feed isn’t on planet.

For the past few months I’ve been using a query that I refer to as “ash report - recent spike”. That’s the second thing I do when I get a call of the “the system is slow” type. The first thing I do is run “top” (or whichever alternative for the OS) and check the […]

So, get on the OTHER SIDE of the podium.  Yes, it can be scary, but it is definitely worth the fear factor long term.

I arrived in Denver on Sunday and was surprised to see how nicely the conference was set up.  Everyone I’ve talked to is pleased and thinks the conference is going really well.  Unfortunately, as I’ve been setting up the booth and getting laptops configured, I have yet to attend any sessions.  While I’ve already missed […]
