Thanks to twitter, blog posts from friends, Oracle iPad App and other resource it is quite easy to stay up to date on the latest news from the OOW. Ok, I’ll miss some life sessions and OOW receptions and parties. But hey on the other hand I can download the latest software on a high speed internet connection and do the first test 🙂

As I mentioned in the excerpt of this post, Oracle introduced the new Enterprise Manager now named Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1). Oracle has already released version for Linux x86-64, which can be downloaded from OTN (Oracle Enterprise Manager Downloads). For know I’ll download the software and start some first tests. The first impression and results will be posted later this week. At least for know it looks like the 2 EMCC Zip archives (2,5-3GB each) contain everything you need to run the OMS exempt the OS and the repository database. No more search for the right JVM and WLS server.
