		<description><![CDATA[As an Apps DBA, you might have been asked to clear the JSP cache many times, either by Developers or Oracle Support. The usual directory that holds the JSP cache is $COMMON_TOP/_pages in 11i and R12 releases. In older versions of 11i it used to be $OA_HTML/_pages. What is this JSP Cache? It&#8217;s the compiled [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, an Oracle-L discussion on Sun T2000 servers got me thinking. The T2000 servers have Sun&#8217;s new line of processors, UltraSPARC-T1. These processors come with 8 physical cores, and each core has 4 threads (similar to hyperthreading in Intel Xeon Processors). So each UltraSPARC-T1 processor shows up as 32 Processors (8 cores * 4 threads) [...]]]></description>

If we outline the Apps Tier cloning process, it looks like this (supposing we have a two-node instance with the DB and CM on one node, and Web and Forms on the other): # CM Node # [...]]]></description>

Too often, users must reboot their desktops, clear their browser cache and the jinitiator jar cache, and so on, even when we have made sure that the post-failover URL of the 11i [...]]]></description>

The interesting part here is it&#8217;s not &#8220;pure&#8221; 64-bit software like the Oracle Database on Linux 64-bit: R12 is taking advantage of the OS&#8217;s capability to run 32-bit executables.
