VirutalBox Image not starting up

I often have the situation that I get a pre-installed VirtualBox image with some new Oracle stuff to test. Sometimes these images don’t start with this error message:

“This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot – please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU”

 

The solution here is not to “Enable Intel VT-x/AMD-V from BIOS”. But this is a necessary option, too.

 

The solution is to change the setting of the vm before starting and switch it from e.g. “Ubuntu 32bit” to “Ubuntu 64bit”.

 

Webinare: Salesforce und SAP verbinden – Integrationsplattform in der Cloud oder On-Premise

Auch in Deutschland gewinnt das Thema Cloud an Fahrt. Zunehmend werden Softwarepakete als SaaS-Lösungen gleich in der Cloud angeschafft, weil die Vorteile, sich nicht um den Betrieb kümmern zu müssen und die damit einhergehende Flexibilität, starke Treiber sind nicht nur in der IT, auch in den Fachbereichen. Diese SaaS-Systeme müssen mit der bestehenden Anwendungslandschaft integriert werden: schnell, übersichtlich, qualitativ hochwertig und wartungsoptimal. Dieses Webinar stellt Möglichkeiten und Architekturen vor, wie eine Integration mit Cloudsystemen aussehen kann und diskutiert auch gleich die Frage, ob die passende Integrationsplattform dann nicht auch in der Cloud stehen sollte. iPaaS ist hier das magische neue Buzzword: Integration Platform as a Service. Wir zeigen an einem Livebeispiel, wie sich Salesforce als Cloudsystem und SAP als typische On-Premise Installation für den Anwendungsfall des Ordermanagements miteinander verbinden lassen.

 

Es wird zwei unterschiedliche Webinare geben, einmal mit der Oracle BPM Suite 12c/ SOA Suite 12c als Plattform, am 31.7.2015, von 10:00-11:00 Uhr: www.opitz-consulting.com/webinar-sap-salesforce-integration-mit-oracle

Und einmal auf Basis der Talend-Plattform, am 4.8.2015, von 10:00 bis 11:00 Uhr: www.opitz-consulting.com/webinar-sap-salesforce-integration-mit-talend

We are very proud that we were able to contribute a whole chapter to this book:

Ontology-based ACM - The Need for Truly Adaptive Systems

Jürgen Kress, Clemens Utschig-Utschig, Hajo Normann, Torsten Winterberg

After seven months of traveling Curiosity lands on Mars. The engineers in NASA mission control are excited to start scientific research. These scientists have a special challenge; the Mars rover is so far away and the signal takes so long, that they need to rely on automation in order to maintain control in the wildest scenarios. There are many decisions that must be made on a daily, and even on a minute-to-minute basis. Involving the scientist in every possible decision, given the round trip time to consult and answer, would slow the research to – literally – a crawl.
The scientists who operate the rover are knowledge workers. Just like knowledge workers in a business setting, they must figure out how to accomplish goals, as they uncover new information that affects their goals. The automation that they use built into Curiosity is very much like the business processes that businesses use to achieve their goals: the process works fine as long as the situation matches what was expected. But what happens to a business process when confronted with something unexpected?
This chapter takes us on an exploration of how to adapt to the unexpected--including a Little Green Man--using the Mars Curiosity as an entertaining, but highly enlightening example.
