Configuring Rman backups from Enterprise Manager GC.

Greetings,
I am having a difficult time understanding how OEM GC 11g interacts with RMAN and am hoping someone can clarify a couple of things for me. Hopefully I am asking meaningful questions. I can make it work but am unclear as to how it is working.
1) For a particular instance under Availability -> Backup/Recovery -> Setting -> Backup Settings I configure my backup settings for RMAN. Is that analogous to issuing the CONFIGURE command from within RMAN?
2) For a particular instance under Availability -> Backup/Recovery -> Manage -> Schedule Backup There are two choices: Oracle Suggested Backup and Customized backup.
Does each of those choices use the settings defined when I configured backup settings?
Looking at the script generated by the Oracle Suggested Backup it appears that it is a very basic backup. What does it do about archive maintenance after backup.
Thanks
Bill Wagman

Hi,
to answer the questions:
1.) yes, these settings reflect the RMAN configuration settings and are used for the backup jobs that are configured via Grid Control
2.) we are using gric control to configure our backup jobs - we never used the Oracle suggested backups, they seemed to be too simple and less flexible. We preferred to build customized backups. They are easy to configure (some screens to clck through) and provides more flexibility. As an example you can decide to backup archive logs also and to delete then from disk afterwards. Also you can distinguish between full or incremental backups. I think it is uasbel and flexible enough for basic backup strategies.
Regards

Configuring Backups in Enterprise Manager 10.2.0.2.0

Hello,
I am trying to configure backups in Enterprise Manager. Whenever I try to provide the host credentials, I receive the following:
"Connection to host as user Administrator failed: ERROR: Wrong
password for user"
This machine is a primary domain controller, and therfore has no local accounts. All accounts are through the domain via Active Directory. I came across a plug-in for Enterprise Manager for AD, but it is only for Windows Server 2003. Since I cannot authenticate locally for host credentials, how would I work around this in order to setup a backup schedule? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, this did not seem to resolve the issue, as I still received the error message when attempting to provide the Administrator's credentials. I also added the domain admin to the Log on locally option, but this did nothing as well. Is there something else that I need to put in to the fields when attempting to set up a backup job?

Error messages from Enterprise Manager Grid control

Hi,
Hi,
I get several messages in my email daily from Enterprise Manager that Services from Application server control are down when all ther services are up and running. Messages like
EM Alert: Critical: testdev - The OC4J instance is down.
Any idea why this is happening.
Thank You

Here is the error in the "installActions<date>.log" file:
SEVERE: OUI-25031:Some of the configuration assistants failed. It is strongly recommended that you retry the configuration assistants at this time. Not successfully running any "Recommended" assistants means your system will not be correctly configured.
1. Check the Details panel on the Configuration Assistant Screen to see the errors resulting in the failures.
2. Fix the errors causing these failures.
3. Select the failed assistants and click the 'Retry' button to retry them.
I checked in the details section and it listed this as the issue:
Configuration assistant "OMS Configuration" failed
The "D:\oracle\product\10.1.0\agent10g\cfgtoollogs\configToolFailedCommands" script contains all commands that failed, were skipped or were cancelled. This file may be used to run these configuration assistants outside of OUI. Note that you may have to update this script with passwords (if any) before executing the same.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do I fix this?? When I open up the configToolFailedCommands file, all it lists is "oracle.sysman.emcp.agent.AgentPlugIn".

Problem Autodiscovery of node from Enterprise Manager

We are using Oracle Enterprise Manager 2.1.0.1.0 through Management Server on NT for Oracle 8i(8.1.6) on Linux
While autodiscovery of node from Enterprise Manager I am getting following
error
"Discovery Failed VNI-4002:Unknown gateway Exception"
Even Intelligent agent and all the requisite services are started.
If we configure manually we will get
following error while using the tools of management pack
"VTO-2018 This wizard Couldnt be launched because target was manually
configured.It can only be launched for targets which have been discovered using an Intelligent Agent."
I shall be thankful if you provide the solution ASAP

Can't do anything from Enterprise Manager

I am trying to undeploy an application from Enterprise Manager Web Site, and I get the following error:
An error occured while undeploying the application. The configuration files for this Oracle9iAS instance are inconsistent with the configuration stored in the repository. In order to protect the repository, no further configuration or deployment operations are allowed until the problem with the configuration on the filesystem is resolved. This condition arises when a prior operation was unsuccessful. Please check the logs located at ORACLE_HOME/dcm/logs to determine why DCM was unsuccessful in updating the configuration files on disk. Some possible causes are: * permissions on files * file contention issues on Windows NT * EMD and dcmctl running concurrently * internal Oracle error After resolving the problem that prevented DCM from updating the configuration files, you may use the dcmctl resyncInstance command to resolve the problem. Alternatively, you can stop and then restart the active dcmctl or EMD process and resyncInstance will automatically be performed.
It won't let me do anything. I tried dcm, too. It happens too often to me that I cannot deploy or undeploy apps from EM, or even to alter simple properties. Is there a way to recover from this situation?
I have checked the errors at $ORACLE_HOME/dcm/logs but I can't get any ideas from there.
Help me

check out the Application Server - General forum. this has been discussed quite many times. Specifically,

How to avoid timeouts from Enterprise Manager/BPEL console?

Occasionally I want to deploy (from JDev) some BPEL processes to the AppServer.
Surprisingly I got some errors. I found out when I re-login into
Enterprise Manager and tried again to deploy it everything works fine.
So it seems to me all errors occur because of a forced logout from Enterprise Manager.
How can I avoid such situations?
Peter

Hi peter,

If finally found the cause of the problem, lack of PermGen space for the home instance;
When opening the EM Console most of the times i was able to open the login page, under stress opening this page failed most of the times.
The ascontrol-application.log pointed me in the right direction;
10/09/07 15:26:59.111 ascontrol: Servlet error
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space
When monitoring the PermGen of the home instance, is showed that the system was running out of PermGen space.
Increasing the PermGen size for the home instance in opmn.xml did the trick

If i understood correctly what you are trying to ask , you are interested in email notification when your node suddenly reboots/restarts.
And if it is so, this is will not be possible in the way like it is for tablespace, memory and similiar alerts.
Although you could consider monitoring alert.log content, because information about database up-down statuses can be found there.
For example , you could do that either by using external tables or by using shell/batch scripts;depending on the os on what your database is, and then after information that indicates database unexpected reboot is found, forward that information further (e-mail notification) .

Oracle AWR can collect information about these.
"The Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) is an integrated part of the Oracle database server. Its purpose is to collect server-related performance data automatically every 60 minutes (by default) when the statistics_level parameter is set to 'typical' (or 'all'). As the data is collected by the server itself, the Automated Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM) component of the server uses this data automatically to diagnose performance issues."
