Oracle’s extended support – when is it free of charge
It’s such a simple, basic and old question I got from a colleague: “Do you have to pay for extended support?”. And if so, how much I have to pay for it. So basic and yet… always have to check again the waived support, what prices and where to find […]
Java SE licensing
There are several good blogs about this subject (like this one), and I never paid much attention to Java and licensing. Until one of our customers became a bit frightend after Oracle approached them with the question if they were really license compliant using Java.

The curious case of the blank plugin page in OEM13c
After an upgrade of Oracle Enterprise Manager from 12.1.0.5 to 13.2, I wanted to deploy a new version of the plugin oracle.sysman.db. Downloaded the new version and got to the plugin-management page to apply the patch. But all I got was a blank page. Cost me quite a while to […]

Upgrade OEM 12.1.0.5 OMS to OEM13.2
Despite the potential of Oracle Management Cloud, I’m a fan of Oracle Enterprise Manager, with its small imperfections. So when noticing a 12c Oracle Enterprise Manager on Linux, and targets on Windows, I took the challenge of modernizing the customer’s environment a bit. And the starting point , 12.1.0.5 for […]
Oracle, Azure Cloud and licensing with hyperthreading enabled.
Until recently, there was one rule when deploying Oracle software in the Azure cloud:
- count one Azure CPU Core as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license.
But there was somehow what confusion about hyperthreading VM’s. This has been nuanced by Oracle in their cloud-licensing document very recently
Converting a WordPress site to SSL
No Oracle stuff this time, but something I should have done a long time ago. Converting my very own private blog-site jobacle.nl – powered by WordPress – to SSL. When I started this blog-site, converting to SSL was a kind of a hassle, but nowadays there is a plugin that […]
Oracle Open World; day 4 – almost done
Almost done. It’s not expected that tomorrow, thursday, will be a day full of new stuff, exciting news. Today, wednesday was a mix for me between ‘normal’ content like sessions about migrating to Oracle Enterprise 13.2 (another packed room) and a very interesting session about the Autonomous Database. Just a […]
