| Greetings!
Ah, Collaborate. We always spend months preparing for it, and this year is no exception. This year, just in time for the conference, we've completed two books and a detailed project plan to help with upgrading to Release 12 of the E-Business Suite. We're partnering with OAUG on our deep dive into the technical details, the little r12.1.2 upgrade guide, and we're selling the DVD and the softcover edition of the book at a very special price - just $12.00 for the DVD or $34.99 for the softcover book. And, just in case you'd like to own the entire trilogy, consisting of the little r12.1.2 project plan,the little r12.1.2 upgrade guide for managers and team members, and the little r12.1.2 upgrade guide, we're offering a specially priced $80 DVD collection of all three.
But enough about the books; let's also talk training. It's springtime, a time of renewal. You must be thinking about enhancing your skillsets, so take a look at our training schedule to see what we've got planned. Confio is sponsoring two one day seminars in Boston in May, Writing Optimal SQL and Troubleshooting and Tuning Oracle by Jonathan Lewis. We sold out Jonathan's seminars the last time we offered them, so don't miss your chance to attend! And for those of you in a developer frame of mind, consider spending the dogs days of summer with us in Salt Lake City in August taking Scott Spendolini's APEX classes. If there's anybody who knows APEX, it's Scott.
Don't miss out on this terrific lineup of classes with the best trainers in their fields!
Sincerely,
Mike Swing

PLAN PREPARE PERFORM
Are you the Mighty Oracle Foot Soldier, ready to tackle the upgrade to Release 12.1.2 for your company? We recommend you start here, with TruTek's 3-part guided tour.
One of the first steps you should take in preparing to upgrade is to actually try the upgrade. If you haven't already installed the Release 11.5.10.2 Vision Instance on a test environment, go ahead and do it. And then use Mike's guides to upgrade that instance to Release 12.1.2. Surprisingly, even the Vision Instance doesn't upgrade flawlessly. Mike includes pointers to additional patches and steps that you'll need to take to make your upgrade a success.
Mike's comprehensive trilogy consists of:
the little r12.1.2 upgrade guide - at 414 pages (so far), this book provides the detailed steps to upgrading your Vision instance from R11i to R12.1.2. It includes the steps for upgrading your database to Version 11gR2. It includes pointers to more than 175 patches and 150 My Oracle Support notes. That's right, just because you've got this book doesn't mean you get out of downloading patches and reading the Readmes and assorted other explanations. But we tell you, all in one place, which documents to read, how to apply the patches, and "gotchas" that we've discovered along the way.
This edition is bigger and better than the last, as Mike continues to add information about patches and bugs and features that you need to understand to upgrade to E-Business Suite Release 12.1.
Are you looking for a guided tour? Don't worry, Mike uses this book as the basis for TruTek's Oracle E-Business Suite R11i to R12.1 Technical Upgrade class. He's also available to chat if you'd like to discuss your upcoming upgrade plans - just give him a call at 801 486-6655 or send him an email at mswing@trutek.com. Best of all, Mike has the hands-on experience that you'll need for an upgrade, so consider TruTek for meeting your consulting needs. |

| | Your Claim to Fame... |  You might argue that our newsletter staff weighs in more on the technical side than the functional side. Yes, we admit it, we're geeks. But that doesn't mean we don't want to include articles about the functional side of the E-Business Suite. Really, we do. So here's your chance to help us keep a balanced perspective in our newsletter. If you've got a good functional topic, please, let us know. Enter our writing contest! If you'd like to enter, just write an article about Oracle or the Oracle E-Business Suite. Tell us about a technique that you've used that made your life easier at work. Or describe something you've learned from all those books on your bookshelf, and how it applied to your environment. If you're not sure if you've got a good topic, send us a note, and we'll help you figure it out. Go ahead, you know you want to!
Submissions should be sent to editor@trutek.comby April 25th. We'll include the winning article in our next newsletter. And the winning author will win a very cool prize, a $50 Gift Certificate from Amazon! |

| Enough Already! |
Our newsletter editor's dad, who is 82, likes to spend a little bit of time every day shredding his junk mail and then putting it into the pre-addressed stamped reply envelope and mailing it back in. That's one way to deal with too much information! We know how it is. You're on everybody's mailing list, and maybe you're just not interested in being there. Hey, we don't want to cram your mailbox unless you'd like to hear from us. So here's what you can do:
If you like our newsletter and think someone you know would like it as well, click on this box to forward it:
And, if you're just not the right person for this newsletter, click on Safe Unsubscribe at the bottom of this newsletter and take yourself off the list.
And if you accidentally remove yourself from the list and want to be put back on, click here, enter your email and be sure to click Submit, then click Update Profile in the email that you receive.
And if we're just not hitting the topics that you want to hear about, either submit an article yourself, or click here and fill out our survey. We know people who know stuff - that's our claim to fame - and we'll get them to write about that stuff! |
