Special thanks to some of Oracle teams

I would like to take the opportunity to thank OCP exam teams, both teams (ocpreq and ocpexam) showed high level of support and fast response time on my inquiries regarding the 11i Apps DBA OCP, they supported me step-by-step to submit my hands-on-course.

In the same time I would like to give a special thanks to oracle Customer Knowledge Exchange team a.k.a CKE team for their support and help when I tried to submit an article to be published at metalink, they showed a high level of support. a big thanks goes to (Mary Anne,Debbie Kiaaina) from this team.

So thank you ocp team/cke team and keep up the good work

My 11i Apps DBA OCP

After I passed my beta exam 1Z0-233 Oracle 11i Install, Patch and Maintain Applications and in order to be an Oracle 11i Apps DBA OCP, I had to be either 10g DBA OCP or 9i DBA OCP or the new 2 exams (apps fundamentals 1 & 2), so I applied for 10g and I passed the OCP. So far I am still waiting my 11i beta scoring sheet to see my mark but I guess I did very good on that beta exam I regret that I did not apply the other 2 beta exams (workflow and sysadmin) every one took any one of them (pass or fail) got a free voucher that can be used for the 11i certification program. I did not believe when they were on the path to be an apps dba specially the workflow and then oracle changed the 11i apps dba path (which is a correct step they took). No the path for apps dbas is more clear and more technical.

Have a good day
