In a WebLogic server domain set as a Production domain, when we try to connect to the Node Manager with WLST we get the following error:

This blog gives the solution to solve the issue.

En 2012, les principaux systèmes de gestion de bases de données relationnelles (SGBDR) sur le marché sont propriétaires. Nous parlons régulièrement d'Oracle Database, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server. En dehors de ces solutions commerciales, il existe un SGDBR open-source largement utilisé: il s'agit de PostgreSQL et il est l'objet de cet article.

Recently, at a customer site, I discovered the Attunity connector 1.1 for Oracle. The customer uses this connector to transfer data from Oracle to SQL Server using Integration Services (SSIS) and informed me that performances are greatly improved. So I decided to post a blog about this connector and perform a benchmark between Attunity connector and Microsoft OLE DB provider for Oracle.

In my previous article, I announced the first fix for SQL Server 2012.

One week later, the first cumulative update is available on the Microsoft website.

With the appearance of WebLogic Server as Oracle application server and the emergence of the Oracle Fusion Middleware suite, some may wonder what will be the support of their Oracle Internet Application server license, e. g. Oracle Forms and Reports services, Business Intelligence Edition, etc. As a consultant, I am often dealing with these kinds of problems and aiming to improve license benefits. In this post, I want to focus on Oracle Internet Application server licenses.

This is just a little blog posting to announce that the first fix for SQL Server 2012 came out last week during Easter Break.

Since the commercial version of SQL Server 2012 is due to be released in April, a little posting about the changed licensing costs seems appropriate.

Who never had to measure the disk performances on a system?

Speaking about Linux performance monitoring includes a significant part of disk performances. If you are facing applications or databases running slower than expected or than on other environments, you may take a look on the I/O performances.
This posting aims to provide an introduction to a pretty interesting tool: IOzone.

In this post, I will explain how to install Oracle Fusion Middleware Forms and Reports 11g R2 for a high availability architecture on a Windows platform. For the Linux platform, it’s approximately the same, even though the node manager is a daemon.

Recently, during one of my missions, a client asked me to give him access rights to the SQL Server logs from SSMS to his application managers. As you know, you must grant the role “securityadmin” to have such rights. However, with this role you can also manage logins, CREATE DATABASEs and change passwords.

These are “too many rights” for an IT manager, but there seems to be no other way ... or is there?
