This blog is about my experience so far with below 2
world’s largest interactive community dedicated to Oracle technologies so far,
1. My Oracle Support Community
2. OTN community
You can simply register yourself using below link –
It is hard to decide which one is my favorite out of
the two. I believe it is more about purpose of these two communities and
differences that makes nerds like us to choose between the two or follow both.
Understanding the difference-
OTN: Available for everyone
MOSC: Only accessible with My Oracle Support access.
OTN: Possibly larger audience, but not the place to
discuss MOS notes or SRs, since you can't assume that everyone accessing an OTN
community also has MOS access.
Basically, both communities are managed by different
teams. OTN space is open and visible to anyone. Anyone can create an OTN
account.
MOSC spaces are available to only those who have a
valid support contract. You need an account(MOS account) attached to valid
Customer Support Identifier.
Both MOSC and OTN platforms work on Jive and are
merged for users to participate in both forums.
My experience when working with both -
1. You can raise any query and there are members who
will support you, guide you and you never know, you will get solution
from
community before Oracle Service Request ticket you
raised.
2. You relate to experts worldwide and both
communities provide you common platform for technical discussions.
3. Even if you know solution for one issue, you may be
surprised to know there are other ways/possibilities for same issue that
can be more effective and efficient than solution you
already have.
4. Like I read this quote -
'Gaining knowledge
is the first step to wisdom. Sharing it is first step to humanity.' -- Unknown
They help you gain knowledge and share your own
experiences on the same platform.
Lastly, I would like to mention that this article will
only evolve with time as I wish to continue serving these 2 communities.
So, say tuned!!!
