I have decided to blog some more of my concerns related to Metalink3. Check my previous post related to ML3. I have noted down some key issues that should be looked upon. I am sure that the ML3 team is still working hard to improve the tool and hopefully they read this blog to improvise on.
So here it is.
- Auto Log out feature: ML3 logout after I have signed and I am idle. I am not sure how long it keeps me logged in, probably it is one hour. It will sign out automatically if I am not active. So if I am having a bad day, I login at least three times a day searching for stuff. Can’t be just have me logged in as long as I don’t close my window?
- Remember Password: Can’t it remember password like other websites do? This is complimenting the Auto log out feature by having me to type passwords again and again. By just having ML3 to remember passwords it would save my time.
I am sure other people have also experienced problem with ML3. Share your thoughts.

My biggest concern is locating the latest ‘fixpatches’ for the current version of Siebel I’m using.
for example, we’re using 7.8.2.6 SIA. Now, there’s a number of fixes that exist (one for example is the ability to run siebel with IE7 which is not possible on the base 7.8.2.6 install). Apparently QuickFix 0625 fixes this (as well as other bugs). In the end, I needed to create a service request via metalink3 to show me how to find the fixpatch on their site. I eventually found it, but there appears to be no way of keeping tabs on the latest fixpatch available for the version we’re running.
It just seems to complex for its own good to me.

Hi Chris,
Your point is valid. The other day I was looking for a patch and inspite of downloading it didn’t work. Then opened a SR only to figure out that there is some other patch I have to download instead. Also I have noticed that the searching utility is really complex.
Two weeks back I met my old Siebel friend and he was explaining all the frustration he had with this.
Yes, I agree with you. I hope someone from Oracle is looking into our comments.
Let me know if you have more. Thanks.

I also have found Metalink lacking in quality and features.
i just place a SR every time i want to update my Siebel install becuase is more simple that trying to use the very complex sear utility the offer.
also the missing SR are a great waste indeed.
just my 2 cents.
