I used the OCM tool not long ago, and it uploaded the wrong information to Oracle. It took four (wasted) days of working on an SR to determine that.
I have also found the best analysts never ask for an RDA. They always ask for what is relevant to your problem (alert log, crsd logs, etc.), and then work their way to more stuff if there is a need. Received on Sun Mar 07 2010 - 08:19:54 CST
