Then you should read this article. We know the “Alt+Ctl+Del” in Windows is to lock and unlock the desktop. In linux, it is by default to reboot the system “without warning”!!!If you have a production system running and someone by mistake connects a keyboard to the system and execute the Alt+Ctl+Del command, the system will reboot and they need not login to the system. Many of the PeopleSoft administrators do not know about it, unless they worked as system administrators.By default it is set to shutdown with the option –t3 –r now. The setting is in /etc/inittab file as below:# Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETEca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r nowTo disable the system to reboot when Alt+Ctl+Del command is executed, comment the line starting with ca:: or replace it with something else which does not execute this shutdown command.

There is a new rule passed, SB 541 and AB 211 which is above the existing HIPAA Privacy Laws that are already in effect. This was signed by the state governor way back in Sep 2008, but this is effective from Jan 1st 2009. There is high probability that the other states to follow the suit soon. SB 541 and AB 211 were passed in the wake of high-profile privacy breaches at California hospitals. An analysis of SB 541 by the Senate Health Committee cited a 2008 finding by the California Department of Public Health ( CDPH ) that UCLA Medical Center employees had accessed hundreds of patients' medical records without authorization, including the records of celebrities such as Farrah Fawcett, Tom Cruise, and Britney Spears. The CDPH also reported that hospitals commonly use patients' information for fundraising purposes without their express permission. The bills are intended in part to clarify that unauthorized access such as snooping or other internal misuse of patient records violates state law.

Oracle is going to use Siebel CRM 8.0 for their Customer Support Management (CRM) System. This is indirectly saying that the Siebel CRM is better than PeopleSoft CRM and Oracle Apps CRM . That is ok as they have to select one from the existing CRM tools. PeopleSoft CRM has chat service. Does the Siebel CRM have chat service? If it has or not, one thing is for sure that they have not mentioned anything about it anywhere in providing it to “PeopleSoft Customers”. Once you login, the logo says, “My Oracle Support” and “Formerly MetaLink” and then why name url as https://metalink3.oracle.com? Are they going to change the url later?

The list is elaborate and covers almost all components. This will be useful for the Project Managers who budget PeopleSoft investments and also analysts who prepare ROI on PeopleSoft implementations.This is also very useful for the consulting companies who prepare the project plan and estimates for their clients. I had prepared ROI on PeopleSoft implementations for the new installations and also individual modules in the past. The document like this is very useful for such tasks.

In 2005, the company migrated to Stephens City, Virginia. The company was founded by British born Mark Vernon who started producing CD-based training for Apple software. The format on the CDs - narrated QuickTime movies that take a user through the steps of learning complex software applications - was very well received. Soon after, VTC began producing training for Windows software. Basics - Basics Fri, 03 Oct 2008 17:52:44 +0100 http://psadmin.org/index.php/Online-Training-with-more-than-14000-+-free.html
