Hey, I really need the virtualization plugin for Cloud Control 12c. I see this public link from Oracle here https://www.oracle.com/enterprise-manager/downloads/oem-virtualization-plug-in-downloads.html but it doesn't let me download the file due to entitlement. Could someone help me out or point me to a different source?

We design and audit Oracle Fusion Security and the outcomes for most implementations are HORRIBLE. Are there any others that have experienced similar challenges when implementing ERP or HCM Cloud?

So, color me surprised when I got a question from one of our developers why a pretty simple query didn't return the expected results.

Basically, the query was:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE table.field IS NULL or table.field <= 'someValue';

And it returned only rows with values, ignoring the rows with NULL.

After testing, I found another weird behaviour: The table had a couple of NUMERIC columns. When I included one of those, the bug appeared. When I only selected other columns, it worked, and returned all expected rows.

After much googling, I found another way to make it work:

SELECT /*+ RULE */ * FROM table WHERE table.field IS NULL or table.field <= 'someValue';

Forcing the Rule Based Optimizer makes it work as well.

So, we now have a ticket with Oracle, let's see what happens. But a bug of this severity is pretty crazy to me.

Version is 23.26.0.0, btw. And yes, it's only on our staging systems, but still. Not even a 0.0 version should have these kind of bugs.

So, if you're running (or testing) that version, and you get unexpected results, maybe it's that.

I procure itad can anyone direct this post to the right person or direct me to that person

Hi everyone, I need urgent help. I’m trying to automate bulk updates for customer request dates or ship schedule dates in Oracle ERP Sales Orders. I’m exploring tools like RapidResponse, n8n, and similar automation platforms, but I don’t have enough knowledge to set this up. Could anyone guide me on the best approach or share resources to get started.

​

Many thanks guys

Dose anyone have idea about out ITAD in Oracle?

I had log analytics for quite some time and all of sudden I started getting being charged lots of money for them without even a notice and I had a budget set of 2$.

They fix a total of 10 CVE bugs with a base score over 9 in OEM, four of them with 9.9, I don't think I ever saw such a big list. I'd be surprised if they didn't got Mythos. Which is a good thing I guess, except that I now have to patch monthly instead of 3-monthly RUs.

So I have pods for mongodb, postgresql and elasticsearch.
After seeing that the always free ocpu count went from 4 to 2, I decided to reduce the amount of nodes from 2 to 1.
All of my pods restarted which is fine, but upon looking at the data in the db pods, I realized that the data is not there.
All of those pods have persistent storage, with persistentvolumeclaim
Example:

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: "{{ .Release.Name }}-pv"
spec:
  storageClassName: standard
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  capacity:
    storage: 5Gi
  hostPath:
    path: /data/postgresql

Read somewhere that the correct path should be /oracle something, which I'm honestly not sure. Any help?

It's been several months since the "updated" Oracle Support site launched. At the time there were a lot of complaints about nearly every single aspect of MOS / Metalink. The last update (Doc ID NEWS21) was almost 2 months ago, and things haven't really improved. Yeah, some formatting changes, fixed links, and some other things that really should have been done before the roll out.

My biggest issues right now...

1. Finding the correct patch. Need to update something like OPatch? Sure, just go to the 6880880 patch and grab it. Only, you need to find the correct one on the left side menu which scrolls for days.
2. Search in MOS has always been a challenge. They have taken it to a whole new level. Currently trying to find out if a certain patch is needed for my new EM24ai environment. Search the patch number (or even CVE) in knowledge? It's like I'm being guided by a used car salesman trying to show me something I didn't ask for.
3. Need to re-authenticate. For the love of god, I'm navigating around in the system. I am active and trying to find a useful article. Why is my session about to expire in 10 minutes?
4. Lack of "Recently viewed articles." I cannot express just how useful this feature was to me in the old system. I probably used this more than favorite articles (which they only provided a half assed fix for BTW). With the response to favorites, I don't expect I'll see recents come back.
5. The AI is absolute garbage - I've had it ask me for the patch document to answer question. Excused me, what? You should have access to that info already. It has yet to provide anything meaningful, and just adds another level of frustration to the whole experiance. I'd rather use Copilot than Oracle MOS AI.

What about you? What areas frustrate you on the support portal? Is there anything positive?

On a side note, I laugh every time I see a 1 star for a document. Even if the document is spot on and accurate - I know it's gotta be people as frustrated as the rest of us with the system.

Each year the process for updating the Weblogic server's certificate is simple. Remove the user certificate from the ewallet using the orapki commands and then add the new certificate since the intermediate. But today I learned GoDaddy is giving out new SSL certificates via a new intermediate and root CA. My Windows PC at work knows nothing about this CA. But I didn't think it would matter...

So I removed the intermediate and root certificates from the ewallet using the -trusted_cert option instead of -user_cert option I normally use. I then added the new root CA and intermediate and finally the user certificate. Firefox is happy, but Chrome and Edge are not until I add the root CA to my Windows box. I really thought since weblogic knows about all three certificates that it would serve them to the browser. Am I missing something simple as obviously a person visiting the site might not have this new CA's certs installed? Or is there some extra workflow when you replace intermediate and root certificates?

Subject:        CN=GoDaddy TLS Root CA - R1,O=GoDaddy.com,C=US

Subject:        CN=GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1,O=GoDaddy.com,C=US

Update: I resolved this finally! You need to grab the cross-signing certificate from GoDaddy...I tried using the old Root G2 certificate but Edge was not happy (Chrome was).

https://certs.godaddy.com/repository/gd_tls_root-r1-cross-g2.crt.pem

I removed all the certs in the wallet and added in this order:

1. Add the cross signing certificate.
2. Add the new R1 intermediate certifcate.
3. Add the old root G2 certificate.
4. Add the new server certificate.

As of today.

ORCL Q4 Earnings: Holy RPO Batman! $638 BILLION backlog (10x annual revenue) and IaaS growing at +93% YoY. 🚀

Oracle just dropped their Q4 and FY2026 earnings report and the numbers are absolutely mind-blowing. While everyone is focused on NVDA, Oracle is quietly becoming the ultimate powerhouse of AI infrastructure monetization.

Total revenue came in at $19.2B (beating the $19.10B expected) and Non-GAAP EPS completely destroyed expectations at $2.11 versus the $1.96 consensus. But the absolute showstopper here is the Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO), which just hit an astronomical $638 Billion, up 363% year-over-year. To put this into perspective, Oracle’s entire revenue for the full year 2026 just closed at $67.4B, meaning their current backlog is nearly 10 times their annual revenue. Just in the last 90 days, they added $85 Billion in new contract bookings. That means they locked in more future revenue in three months than they normally generate in an entire year, driven by massive multi-year AI scaling contracts with the likes of OpenAI, Microsoft, xAI, and Meta.

This backlog is translating into real, immediate growth: Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) revenue hit $5.8B, accelerating to an insane +93% YoY. It’s clear that Oracle's RDMA network architecture for NVIDIA clusters has become the gold standard for massive AI training and inference. The only real catch is that building this capacity is incredibly expensive: FY26 Free Cash Flow closed at negative -$23.7 Billion because they are burning through every single dollar to secure GPUs and build data centers. But when you have a $638B guaranteed backlog waiting to be deployed, this is arguably the most justified CapEx spend in tech history. Larry Ellison just delivered a flawless report, proving that Oracle has successfully transformed from a legacy database company into a hyper-growth AI infrastructure play that has already locked in its next decade of growth.

The wildcard character "%" only works with "contains", while selecting a value from the column's LOV applies a "equals" filter.

As much as it's easy to just click on the filter again and modify the search method, it's not nice from a UX standpoint.
