Oracle Finalizes Sun Acquisition

Well, it's final -- I got the e-mail from Charles Phillips and Safra Catz this morning.  Oracle has finally satisfied the regulators and now is the proud new owner of Sun Microsystems.  What can we expect from Enterprise Software going forward?  Well, according to the e-mail:

Performance levels will be unmatched. Oracle’s software already runs faster on Sun SPARC/Solaris than on any other server or operating system. With Sun as a part of Oracle, each layer of the stack will be engineered to further improve performance, reliability and manageability so that IT will be more predictable, more supportable, and more secure. Customers will benefit as their system performance goes up and their system integration and management costs go down.

In addition, our open standards-based technology will give customers choice. Customers can purchase our fully integrated systems, or easily integrate our best-of-breed technologies with their existing environments. Our open technology also enables customers to take full advantage of third party innovations. Oracle also plans to extend its partner specialization program to include Sun technologies to better enable partners to deliver differentiated and value-added solutions to customers.


Congrats guys. Feel free to cut out a couple of hours early.  You've earned it. 

 

Error when running PeopleTools 8.50 from a file server

If you try to run PeopleTools 8.50 from a file server, or if you copied the directory to your home directory and tried to launch it, you may get the following error:

The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.  Please see the application event log for more detail.

This happens because PeopleTools 8.50 is developed using the Microsoft Visual C++, and the C run time files must be installed on your workstation or the PeopleTools client programs will not run.

Here's how to fix it:

  1. Go to PS_HOME/setup/vcredist
  2. Run vcredist_x86.exe
