I wish those folks would stop farting around with location
of their docs in otn, it f***s up tahiti no end!
Bloody annoying: every second month or so some moron admin
decides to change file locations and all heck breaks lose
when one wants to check doco.
Enough!

sounds like "arbitrary" changes in how the OUI developers set their OFA
default paths and home names when a new release is issued.

maybe its even the same person.

perhaps it was due to something being moved from a stand-alone server
to "the grid" and its location was "improperly virtualized".

I do prefer to download the entire doc sets, but then if there are any
errata, one doesn't see the updated material.

Ah ... but this was the 'justified' change coincident with the fiscal year
end. Happens every year. (And just about every quarter, about 25
minutes after the financials are released.)

I agree - it's bloody annoying. Try to teach people how to get the best
use of Oracle (a significant part being, how to get at the docco) and
stand in front of the class like a dofus trying to figure out the
new layout of the site. Doesn't impress the impressionable customers, I
tell ya.

Oh well. At least http://docs.oracle.com still works (thus far)

Precisely! Why is it that every new webadmin thinks urls are
some sort of scent-marked thing they must change regularly? Don't
these people realize the www works with hyperlinks that are NOT
dynamic?

Cripes, one would hope it'd have sunk in by now! There should be a
LAW to stop major sites from changing urls...

Let alone the links in Oracle.com itself :-) ... many are invalid.

Good to read I'm not the only one suffering because of this *g*
