Oracle Updates SES11g
August 1, 2011
We wanted to mention the update to Secure Enterprise Search (SES) to our Oracle fans. Users will want to upgrade to 11g Release 1 (11.1.2.2), which can be downloaded at the link above.
First the token bullet list of “what’s new” straight from the Web site:
- All platforms available for download, including Windows 64-bit
- Oracle Access Manager integration for crawler and search application
- Autovue CAD file support
- Custom lexers and stop words lists, on per-data source granularity
It’s nice to see that the add-on is ready to cooperate with Oracle’s own Autovue; including drawings in an index is a must for several industries. Provided it proves functional, adding more flexibility with the stoplist should increase accuracy and weed out those pesky repetitive user-specific terms.
I scanned the release notes; no surprises here (a patch is a patch is a patch). There are several known issues but save a few exceptions the workarounds are adequately documented. Watch out for a possible compatibility issue with IPv6. Keep in mind that Oracle bought a natural language search engine with its InQuira purchase. NLP seems to be an interest of Oracle.

Connectbeam May Be Disconnected
July 29, 2011
Short honk: The Connectbeam.com Web site is down and listed as available on GoDaddy. The company was an enterprise social search vendor. Here’s what I have from one of my Overflight files:
Founded in 2006, Connectbeam provides modern Web services applications to enterprises and their employees. The underlying premise behind Connectbeam’s application is that informal social networks already exist inside all companies and with the right platform, those networks will grow in practical value through efficient information sharing and expert-colleague discovery. Connectbeam was the first company to integrate concepts of social book-marking and tagging with those of social networking specifically for the enterprise. The Connectbeam application resides securely behind your corporate firewall easily deployed as a physical appliance enhancing information-sharing and collaboration in the daily work-flow of enterprise employees, boosting their innovation, improving their decision-making, intensifying their collaboration, and helping them to build valuable relationships across the company, effortlessly. Connectbeam, headquartered in Mountain View, California, is venture-backed and privately held.
If anyone has information, please, post it using the comments section of the blog.
