TME No.3 and The girl

I just did TME the third time yesterday. Talking about the ThosaiMaster joke. The GE said that I did it too long. I should just do one liner, and that's enough!

I invited her to my meeting. By the way, I ask her out on saturday, and we had dinner, movie, and starbucks! It's a great time with her!

After the meeting, I feel like I want to talk to her more, but because it's late, and the time, etc. etc. feel like want to take her home and take care of her... Same feeling I had with my 1st one.

Wonder how she feel about me? Wonder I am getting the wrong signal? She likes me because I am a Toastmaster, or the real me?

TME Next Monday!

I am the TME for next Monday! I am going to talk about ThosaiMaster this time! :)

MQ and Oracle

Finaly I know how to install MQ and Oracle! When I install MQServer, I should have uninstall MQClient first but instead I install MQServer in the same directory as MQCleint! What a big mistake I made! This only found out by Oracle Support later...

This should be the sequence:

1) MQClient or Server
2) Install Database
3)Install Gateway

3options and CMA -> MQ

I found out 3 options to connect to the MQ.

1. Use a 'host' command: amqsput Q1 QM_APPLE < a.text
but using amqsputc only allow 100 characters! and somemore Host command



****************************************************
Finally Oracle Support give me a solution on how to do a CMA->MQ, (last Thursday)! But I can only do this on my PC, OracleHome9.2.0.7, OracleGateway9.2.0.7, and IBM MQ Series V6.

Also found out that:

1. the Gateway executable is in the Oracle_Gateway_Home\bin\pg4mqc92, not in oracle_gateway_home\pg4mqseries\bin as describe in the docs

2. The Gateway should install separately from the Oracle Database Home.

3. Need to use a different port, NOT the database port 1521. Using 1522 for the Gateway!

Try to do it on my customer site but failed. I also found out that the OracleListenere in the System Control Panel can give login name and password. Really learn a lot from this project :)
