"SS Link Form for the WebLogic VCR adaptor for UCM"

A new component has been released called " VCR/SPI for Site Studio 10gR4", this new component is only of interest to WebLogic customers using the VCR adaptor to connect to UCM as a repository. The link form allows content authors to add item links to the Site Studio data file in a way that the VCR will recognize.

Also I wish I will be to test it when I return to Egypt.

"JRockit with Content Server"

I was talking from days with some guys, and I was telling them about if we installed Oracle Content Server with JRockit, the content server will be faster, for example, we can create a lot of folders and check-in a lot of content in the same folder using WebDAV.

Today I was taking a look at Oracle Website if there are a new components has been added or modified, I discovered that there a new component has been added that will allow us to use JRockit with CS. Unfortunately internet connection in Nigeria is slow and I cannot download that component to test it.

Nigeria =

Someone: What is your opinion in Nigeria?
Me: Well, Nigeria = Rich Country + a lot of poor people

Someone: Why are you saying that?
Me: Because people there owns very good cars which are very expensive, and real state there is expensive

Someone: But it's the same in Egypt
Me: No because cars here are newer and better even car prices in Nigeria are higher than Egypt, and real estate in Nigeria much exepsive

Someone: mmmmmmmmmmmm

Someone: What's about the Oracle UCM workshop?
Me: The workshop is going well, people in Nigeria want to learn, and they are accepting ECM concepts but I wish they practice what they learn in real projects.

Accounts & Editing Workflow

Today during Oracle UCM workshop in Nigeria, I discovered something related to Accounts and workflows.

If in some step in a criteria workflow, and you chose the workflow step permission equals to "users can review and edit (replace) the current revision", then in the workflow process the user tried to modify "Account" metadata field value for the content in the same step, you will got an error, however the user has the write permission on the account and security group for that content.

The problem is with workflow step permission "users can review and edit (replace) the current revision", which will not allow you to modify the account while it is replacing the existing revision.

!!!!!!!!!!!!

New post from Nigeria

I am currently in Nigeria, where I am providing Oracle UCM implementation workshop. That country is very crowd, actually I didn't like it. They should learn more about civilization :)

I don't know what I say, may be in the next post I can say something :)

Philosophy of The Last Samurai

I like that movie because we can learn a lot about management, in the following lines I will write in brief what we can learn


- At the beginning of the movie when they tried to hire "Nathan Algren" in the Japanese army, they found him drunk however he was able to shoot by the gun perfectly


When you have the experience in some field, you can do any task related to that field easily and quickly


- When Nathan was learning how to fight like samurai, someone told him to concentrate

While we are working, we should concentrate on our work and we should forget anything else especially personal staff


- When he was learning how to fight like Samurai, the teacher was tough with him


The teacher was tough because he wants Nathan to be like him


- The Samurai leader was responsible for entertaining his community


Managers should not forget that there should be a time for giving a break to employees


- When the Samurai fighters decided to fight against an army with guns, they didn't choose to learn how to fight using guns


Because they are not perfect in using guns and they are perfect with swords, can kill more people.

The EARTH

I wish I can see that movie in Egyptian cinema :)
