Experience software with Wittmann&Partner

If you are unable to use the YM client with the new gateway configuration (through proxy) it is very likely you have the issue (and solution) described here.

One of my latest tasks was to install an application to a virtual machine, (running on a Vmware server). This application, built on client-server architecture, use an Oracle database so i had to install Oracle 10g and import the specific database for the application.

Installing Oracle and make it work seemed to be an easy task, theoretically, but it proved to be a real problem, practically. I had installed Oracle on VM (virtual machine) just as i would on my computer and at first everything worked just fine; the application was running to it’s normal parameters. The issues appear after restarting Oracle server, the database was not accessible anymore: “ORA-12505: TNS:listener could not resolve SID given in connect descriptor”.

A video from a trip I’ve made a few days ago on Transfagarasan can be found on my personal blog. I hope you will enjoy it…

Last Tuesday we had a new team building (first this year, at least for me). After a hot start (from the city concrete) we arrived at Curmatura, near Rasinari. Plenty of green (as you can see in the pictures), a small river, not so hot (only late afternoon the temperature was nicer - some would say even cold) and lots of cars (we had 9 or 10 cars for 15 persons). Some of us prepared the food, some of us cooked it (me included) and some play football. It is the same “team-building” atmosphere from the last years, with more persons and more food (maybe it was too hot to eat but it remained a lot of food).
If you (participants) have something to say please contribute to this article (or start a new one in this category), I don’t feel in the mood to write funny now, but wish to share the pictures. Maybe later I’ll expand it with some more thoughts.

Below you can see the pictures taken with this occasion. (there was only one photo camera so there isn’t too much to see).
