Lately whenever I restart my laptop I see that CISVC.exe service starts consuming 99.99% CPU. Every time I restart my laptop I had to kill this service to have my laptop behaving normal. It was high time to do some research on this service. Here are some details about this process.

It provides documentation templates that support the tasks that must be performed to assist the implementation participants in running and managing projects successfully.

One of the conferences that I attended over last few months was Oracle Technology Day on Data Integration. This happened on may 18th 2011. Couple of presentations on Data Integration and GoldenGate. Interesting topic for me was on GoldenGate 11g Zero downtime upgrades and migration. This is one of beautiful features of GoldenGate through which you can achieve Zero downtime for upgrades or migration (This does not mean that no downtime required, downtime can be reduced to nearly zero but not zero). Unfortunately this feature cannot be used with CRM/ERP upgrades as E-Business Suite is not completely supported by GoldenGate. There are about 20 objects specific to E-biz suite which are still under development to be included with GoldenGate. As GoldenGate is an acquired product Oracle this development will take some time to get supported. Following are the list of presentations and details of the sessions I attended. Please go through this, share it with your colleagues/friends and let me k...
