There are a number of questions that commonly arise in relation to Oracle database licensing.
The first question that often arises relates to the licensing of Oracle database on virtual environment.
“I have a physical server with N physical processors. I am running Oracle on a virtual server but it only uses M processors. Do I need to license Oracle for N or M processors”? In this instance, you need to license N processors. Further details are available at Oracle Virtual Licensing.
The second question that often arises relates to the licensing of Oracle database in disaster recovery environments.
“I have a production and disaster recovery environment. Do both need to be licensed”? In this instance, both environments need to be licensed. Additionally, the licensing metrics and options for both production and disaster recover environments must match. Further details are available at Oracle Disaster Recovery Licensing.
The third question that often arises relates to the licensing of development and test environments.
“Do I need to license development and test environments?” In this instance, the development environment may be licensed under an OTN Development License. The test environment must be fully licensed. Further details are available at Development/Test Environment Licensing.
The fourth question that often arises relates to licensing by user or by processor. Each licensing option is suitable for particular scenarios and should be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Further details are available at Oracle Database Licensing.

In today's market, finding the correct person to fill contract Oracle positions is a major challenge for businesses. Finding a candidate with the required professional and technical skills to undertake a fixed-term, highly specialized and technical job is almost impossible.
If you are in the process of rolling out systems into new channels (e.g. a mobile presence), migrating toward a cloud-based deployment or integrating with a new partner, you should give consideration to how your systems are integrated. An effective integration infrastructure facilitates business agility, simplifies on premise and in-cloud integration and reduces operating costs.

Streamlining the process of migrating from OWB to ODI.
Background: Many Oracle customers currently use the Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) product as part of their data warehouse environment. Oracle noted in an OWB Statement of Direction that the current release of OWB (11.2) is the terminal release of the product and that no future releases are envisages. Furthermore, future database releases beyond Oracle Database 12c Release 1 will not be certified with OWB 11.2. On this basis, OWB customers need to identify a strategy and approach to migrate from OWB.
Background: In my previous blog entry: http://www.metalogic.ie/news/9/46/Best-Practice-Code-Organisation-and-Management-for-Oracle-ADF-Applications/d,ML_V2_News_Detail I described some initial considerations when starting a new Oracle ADF project, particularly in relation to ADF modules structure. Another consideration, when starting new ADF projects is that of building the project. In this blog I would like to explain one possible way to approach the application build process.
Using the Oracle Advanced Analytics Database Option can introduce analytic capability into existing Oracle solutions, delivering significant benefits with minimal time, cost and effort.
Recent trends in business intelligence and analytics has seen a shift in interest
Most Oracle ADF project codebases require reorganisation during their lifetime. Getting the structure correct at project outset can save significant effort and pain in the longer term.
A questions that often arises in enterprise software development environments is one of "how do we track requirements, change requests and software bugs. Additionally, how do we track source code to requirements, change requests and software bugs and track issues to software releases? Finally, how do we track time and effort against issues".
