  • SAP Asks Court to Take Axe to $1.3b Oracle Award

    Updated: 2011-02-26 11:00:00
    SAP finally filed its expected protest of what it claims is the “grossly excessive” $1.3 billion jury award to Oracle stemming from Oracle’s suit against SAP and its now-defunct third-party maintenance operation TomorrowNow, which SAP admitted illegally copied Oracle’s IP. SAP thinks it should pay no more than $408.7 million, 10 times more than SAP figured was the most it should pay Oracle during the three-week trial last year. It wants a do-over trial if Oracle won’t take the lower number, which is exactly the amount Oracle’s expert put the company’s damages at. read more

  • Court Denies Google’s Summary Judgment Bid in Oracle Case

    Updated: 2011-02-25 16:26:56
    Google lost its fleeting bid last week to get Oracle’s copyright infringement claims thrown out of court so it won’t be standing there accused of both copyright and patent infringement in the Java-Android suit against it. The judge wouldn’t even let Google file a motion. He isn’t convinced Oracle’s copyright claims don’t have merit. Google can ask again after there’s more discovery, but that’ll take a while. Patent watcher Florian Mueller found Oracle’s successfully opposing letter “the single most interesting document in this whole lawsuit to date as far as the copyright part of the case is concerned.” read more

    Recently had a problem where Import/Export was not working. I kept getting an interesting Error Message. What was really interesting about this was the user that was referenced, mxmc_admin. Now this is interesting, because during the Identity Store creation process, you are prompted to use mxmc_rt as the user and there is no time during the install that you are asked to create a JAVA based connection string using mxmc_admin. This started a great deal of troubleshooting and conversations with people who have a great deal of knowledge with IDM's moving parts.

Leveraging in-memory data stores in support of both transactional and analytical applications is supposed to make real-time query and analysis development costs cheaper because they both use the same native object level APIs.
