Tips for 1Z0-232: Oracle Certified Expert (OCE) - Sys Admin Exam

From the desk of Bas Klaassen, OCE:
At the end of 2006, I found out that Oracle finally decided to start a certification program for 11i OCP E-Business Suite DBA.
Being an EBS DBA for over seven years now, I always wondered why Oracle did not have a certification program for the E-Business Suite DBA track earlier even though the OCP DBA certification has existed for years.
I also noticed that there were three beta exams and decided to take two of them to start with. Please note that Oracle launched Oracle Certified Expert track in April 2007 and the System Administration exam now provides OCE credentials instead of 11i EBS DBA OCP certification as announced during the beta phase.
One of the beta exams was Oracle 11i System Administration: 1Z0-232. The beta period was expiring soon and I did not have enough time to prepare for the exam except for relying on my professional day-to-day DBA and system administration expertise and experience.

The exam is based on Release 11.5.10. So if one is already working on Release 12 or earlier releases like Release 11.0.3, one needs to be careful about the concepts since it may not apply to the release one is working on.
As part of my rushed preparation, the concentration was on topics that needed some review of the concepts on my part. They were as follows:
- Oracle user management

- Creating EBS users, Responsibilities, Data groups and relationship among them
- Oracle Application Manager
- Managing concurrent managers.
- The life cycle of a concurrent request
- Scheduling concurrent requests
- Creating request sets
- Forms Personalization
Preparing for the Sys Admin OCE exam can be done by reading the available sysadmin guides. Look up the following guides from the 11i.10 documentation CD or on the 11i Documentation Portal:
115samg.pdf 115sasg.pdf 115sacg.pdf. These guides can be downloaded and cover all the important topics mentioned above.
For seasoned practioners, if one is
able to combine the topics in the user guides with the 11i Sys Admin experience, then the exam experience will indeed be a fruitful one. It turned out to be a satisfying experience for me as I got the certificate in my mail box a few months later after the beta testing phase was over.
Good luck!

Introducing Guest Author

The Blog Editor (Your OCP Advisor) is thrilled to introduce the first of a select group of guest authors who have agreed to contribute to this blog. So here's your first guest author introducing himself in his own words:
" My name is Bas Klaassen. I'm from Netherlands. I have been an Oracle EBS DBA for seven years now. I have worked with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11 and 11i. Last year, Oracle introduced the 11i OCP DBA program. I decided to take one of the first beta exams last November. After passing the beta exams, I decided to become OCP 10g DBA and 1 month ago I also passed the 1Z0-042 exam. So, I only need to pass one more exam (and of course attend a course at Oracle University) to become an Oracle EBS 11i OCP DBA. Also, I received my Oracle Certified Expert (OCE) certification. As a quest author on this blog, I will share my OCP and OCE experience with you. Hopefully, by writing posts on this blog, it would stimulate others take the exams. In my spare time, I also write an Application DBA blog. Please visit my blog at
http://basklaassen.blogspot.com
".
On behalf of the OCP and OCE community, it is my priviledge to extend a very warm welcome to Bas. The Blog Editor is hopeful that our exclusive group of guest authors would provide great insights and tips for the exam prep and contribute to our readers and readership success!

Are you ready for the party?

This last installment of Micro Mock Test for 1Z0-200 E-Business Fundamentals exam features 26 questions on System Administration, Workflow, Alerts and Daily Business Intelligence. Please spend about half an hour answering these questions to simulate actual testing conditions. Micro Mock Tests 1-4 consists of a total of 64 questions (Test 1 - 9, Test 2 - 9, Test 3 - 20 and Test 4 - 26) which is the same number of questions asked in the actual exam with a 1.5 hour time limit.

One who is preparing for the Oracle Certified Expert (OCE) exams for System Administration and Workflow would find the same focus areas also featured in the E-Business Fundamentals exam with the questions not at an advanced level like the OCE exams. However, the OCE exam prep helps as the blog editor found out to his pleasant surprise.

A record number of blog readers have responded to the Micro Mock Test 1. One hopes that the other micro mock tests are equally popular and useful from the exam prep perspective. More than 40% of the survey respondents have indicated that they are taking an OCP exam this month. A large number of them may be appearing for the E-Business Fundamentals exam. After the exam, please provide your feedback regarding your test taking experience to the blog editor. The more we share, the better are the chances for our readers to become OCP and OCE certified. The answers to the micro mock tests would be published over the next few days to enable more readers to take the tests online. Once you evaluate your mock test performance, it would be clear if you are ready for the (OCP exam) party!

More the Merrier

This installment of Micro Mock Test for 1Z0-200 E-Business Fundamentals exam features twenty questions on Multi-org and Flexfields. Please spend about 15-20 minutes answering these questions to simulate actual testing time pressure. Please remember that the exams are based on Release 11i and hence the concept of Multi-Org Access Control (MOAC) introduced in R12 may not be included.

Many blog readers have inquired when the test answers would be published. Ideally, one would like to have a testing engine / application where the test scores and answers are available on test completion. While the application is under construction, please be patient at this time while I promise to post the answers on this blog over the weekend. For the blog editor, it is quite heartening to see that so many of you are joining the Micro Mock test block (blog) party and answering the questions online. More the merrier! Continue to have fun!
