Oracle User Productivity Kit

Welcome to the Oracle User Productivity Kit blog!

Bill and I are very excited to have this new way of reaching out to our customers, partners, industry analysts, and everyone interested in Oracle UPK. We hope more UPK and Tutor insiders and community leaders will join us in delivering interesting and informative posts.

We are committed to supporting the UPK and Tutor community. As Oracle's acquisition of Global Knowledge Software continues, there may be changes and will be new opportunities for how the community interacts and grows. We will do our best to keep you informed of any changes and new opportunities here and everywhere we can!

What community resources are out there now?

Oracle Metalink Knowledge Base entries for UPK

Oracle Metalink, and MySupport at Oracle.com, hosts the official Knowledge Base for UPK and is a great place to check for solutions to known problems. If you experience a problem installing or using Oracle UPK products, look here first! Dazzle forum users with your ability to quote from articles here! You'll need to register to access the site. (Update: I'm told the link only works if you are using the non-flash version of Metalink.)

Oracle UPK Community Site

From Metalink, choose the Community Tab. Click Enter Now, then click the User Productivity Kit link on the left. Oracle communities help you leverage professional connections through forum discussions, shared knowledge and documentation, web conferences and more.

Unaffiliated resources

While surfing this series of tubes, we've stumbled across some other noteworthy blogs. These are external and we take no responsibility for their content or accuracy. But, they were kind enough to talk about UPK, so we'll be kind enough to mention them.

A lengthy article on UPK

We're still doing some setup and housekeeping, so you may notice changes to some areas over the next weeks, thanks for turning a blind eye for a bit.

We hope you'll continue to follow and enjoy the UPK blog. Subscribe to the RSS feed today!

Thanks for all the feedback about the UPK community links! I have some updated information to share.

The Oracle Application Users' Group has a special interest group dedicated to Tutor and User Productivity Kit.

Check out the UPK feature article in Profit Online.

It seems the myforums.oracle.com site is for Oracle employees only. So, the link I provided in the Welcome post is no good. The Metalink community forum should be used instead. After logging in to Metalink, follow these directions to get to the forum.

1. Select the Community tab.
2. Click the Enter Here button.
3. Click the User Productivity Kit link on the left.

Best wishes and happy holidays!
