Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: RSS Feeds, Metalink and a New Sign Out Button
Some good points. You have to have a valid CSI to see support docs but
in general it should be much easier to log in and see which CSI's you
are associated with, who dropped you etc...also I think in general there
should be some sort of way of getting access even without a CSI for a
short period in the event errors have been made, some sort of "trust"
period, especially if you have some sort of established history, kind of
like Ebay rankings or something.
I also have always liked microsofts MVP program and think Metalink should somehow list/promote some of the folks on this list as MVP's. Not sure exactly how that would work but I think there are some advantages to it for everyone.

Subject: Re: RSS Feeds, Metalink and a New Sign Out Button
I'd like my profile associated to me, with the associations to CSIs subordinate to that. As a consultant, I have access to the CSIs of several different clients. Occasionally the Metalink Administrator of a client removes me from their list of users (like when I finish an assignment). This has the nasty result of me not being able to access Metalink at all. I have to figure out which client did this (sometimes it's obvious, occasionally not), have them add me back to their list, then drop their CSI from my profile. Unfortunately I sometimes only discover this has happened when I'm trying to get into Metalink to solve a problem for another client, and these extra steps are a major pain.
If the client removes me from their list, it should just eliminate my ability to access information related to their CSI, not keep me from getting into Metalink.

What could be done to make it better? ... Well enough of my rant. Would appreciate the thoughts of othershowever.
