Although I have little use for Metalink unless I absolutely HAVE NO CHOICE but 
to log an SR, (I don't know about most folks, but I really do feel like I spend 
more time sending them information and end up figuring out how to fix it myself 
than it would have taken me to just figure out originally how to fix it 
myself...)  as for OCM-  DON'T get me STARTED!!
 
Somebody decided to be too smart for their own britches and implemented the OCM 
stats jobs into our 10g data warehouse and data marts and I am not thrilled 
with the results.  I could do a better job figuring out what objects need 
updated stats in my sleep!  I just need to convince everyone else that there is 
a reason that processes complete when *Kellyn collects stats* and that it's not 
just new DBA dumb luck... :)

I'm just curious.... how many of you guys and gals are felling warm and fuzzy 
about OCM these days?
 
As for me, I don't think I'm quite ready yet....;-D.

he asked who took our online My Oracle Support training? When only 2 hands went

I spent some time on the training yesterday.


It is quite tedious.  'A' for effort, as it was well put together.


For an experienced ML user though, a 45 minute session with 5 minutes of
useful information is very difficult to sit through.


There are some other targeted sessions that may be more useful, such as 
patch management.


I have learned the most though just when navigating through the tool.


For a newby, the training would be great.  


For someone experienced with ML, it wasn't that helpful, at least
the couple sessions I watched.
