Teamwork teamwork rah rah rah!

So our internal consultants from a-certain-company-we-all-know-and-love call me because one of their pages in Vision is not coming up. Of course, Metalink was down, so I couldn't look into it. I posted a question here to see if anyone ever had a similar problem. No response, so I'm assuming "no"
(or that I'm being redirected to people's trashbin due to all my discussions
of life in the good old days). Anyway, Metalink comes up, and, would you believe it?, go tell it on the mountain!, their app mysteriously comes up, at the same time. Coincidence? Hmm. So, while these %@$& are sniffing around inside *my* beautiful, immaculate database for problems, I call said-same-company-we-all-know-and-love on the phone. (I love this "we're all on the same team" bullsh*t.) Seems that the Vision instance has loads of links to internal Oracle sites, and when Oracle went down, well....  

Anyway, BE AWARE, if you're running Vision, about 20% of your app, by default, is served outside your own environment, meaning that approximately 20% of the problems you will have will be outside your control. Oh, and that teamwork thing works real well when you're helping "other people", or when things are rosy... they don't seem to work so good when they're having problems and looking for a way to deflect blame. Surprise, surprise, surprise.
