Topic:
Trivial Pursuit: Grid Control Edition
Speaker
: Kenny Smith, Cnetics

Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control offers plenty of functionality for Oracle administrators. Many times the functionality is there but finding how to accomplish the task is a real brain teaser. During this meeting, attendees become “contestants” in a trivia game where they test their Grid Control knowledge on a live Grid Control training environment. Test your skill to see if you can: add permissions to a user, check for locked sessions and compile invalid packages, and more – while the room looks on!
