Beta 1 Timelines
Timelines for beta 1
• First in the DB to start testing
• Final approvals in progress
• Recruitment to start in the next few days• Focus on Partners• Few Customers, need Oracle contact to be very engaged
• Beta start date first week April, will run for about 2 months
Words of wisdom for beta 1
• Testing of OWB on Oracle 10.2 DB only
• Single machine testing preferred
• Windows and Linux (32bit) is supported
• NO Upgrades• No updates of the software until beta 2, no patching either!• No upgrades of beta 1 repository to beta 2• No upgrade from 10.2 or 11.1 to beta 1• THINGS WILL CHANGE
• Internal audiences:• Testing only• No selling of futures - sell current software!!
Candidates for beta 1
• If you have a partner (or customer), please contact your favorite OWB PM:
• Michelle Bird• Jean-Pierre Dijcks• Antonio Romero
• Do not promise your candidate acceptance! We will have a small group and will be very selective
