1390717.1 - 12c Cloud Control Agent: Is it possible to Re-configure ...

Can anyone get to this note "1390717.1: 12c Cloud Control Agent: Is it possible to Re-configure a 12c Agent to a Different 12c OMS Without Re-installation?"
I do a search in Metalink and I see it listed in "How to Point a 10g/11g Grid Agent to a Different Grid Control OMS and Repository without Re-installation? [ID 413228.1]" but that is the only doc a search returns.
I have a test environment with agents pointed to an old OMS 12c. I'd like to utilize the same agents but point them to our new, production, OEM 12c environment. Has anyone had any success with this? I've followed the 10g/11g OEM steps without luck, thus far (early testing).
I was excited to see "emctl switchOMS REPOSITORY_URL" in the emctl options until I read the next line...
This command is not supported.
Drat :-)

  • 12c Cloud Control - Agent Unreachable

    Hello,
    I am quite new to 12c cloud control and I am unable to resolve an "Agent Unreachable" issue.
    I could find Agent does not upload to OMS in OEM 12c as relevant
    but nothing in that worked for me.
    The setup is as follows:
    1) 12c cloud control is installed on a box and is up and running (both OMS and agent)
    2) The agent on the same host as OMS can talk to OMS and the agent status is shown as "available" in OMS console
    3) There is another box that has a 11.2 database installed as well as 12c agent installed (called as DEVBOX for convenience)
    4) DEVBOX has database up and running and 12c agent also up and running. In the past, it was probably being able to "talk" to OMS but I can't remember
    However, at present, on OMS console, this agent is shown as "unreachable". I tried few things but only possible issue I could find is
    when I try to use Setup -> Add Target -> Add Targets Manually -> Add non-Host targets using guided process, on the "specify Host" page
    when I click on "Select Host" option, the hostname in the agent URL for the DEVBOX is different than the actual host name.
    As the agent URL for DEVBOX is not reachable (because the hostname is invalid), I can't do anything with this agent.
    Can somebody please help?

    To remove an agent from the console:
    - Go to the homepage of the host where the agent reside

    - Stop the agent
    - Remove the agent target by going to the agent homepage and selecting Agent > Target Setup > Remove TargetLoc,
    Once again thanks for looking into this. I followed your advice above and removed the host and the agent from OMS console.
    Now, with the 12c agent already running on the DEVBOX, I was hoping that OMS will automatically detect the agent but I
    can't find it in OMS console.

  • Blocking Locks monitoring in 12c cloud control

    Ours is a 11.2 4 node RAC environment, and to check for blocking locks i run a sql script. I want to monitor the blocking locks in the system and if there are any locks for more than say 10 minutes then send out a mail to a group to look into it.
    We have 12c cloud control setup, my question is if there is a way to setup alerting/monitoring via 12c for checking blocking locks on all nodes and send out email notifications if there are any. I am not much familiar with 12c, please let me know and if its possible let me know the steps to set it up.

    Resolved by removing and re-adding the target...

  • Tuning 12c Cloud Control (Grid).

    Hello All.
    Ive installed the latest version of 12c Cloud Control and since I was previously using 11gr2 Grid, I can tell you its amazingly improved!
    It still has the system moving window, but i like the way things are layed out and categorized now.
    I got it running on that patchset 11.2.0.3 and the database is humming right along after adding larger redo logs and pumping up the sga/pga, ect.
    But when i start oms, it literally sucks up all the ram on the svr.
    Its ridiculous.....
    Is there a way to actually tune the oms itself??
    Thanks,
    Xevv.

    Hi,
    Would recommend to have the below patches in place for your setup
    Applying Enterprise Manager 12c Recommended Patches (Doc ID 1664074.1)
    Please note : the doc also covers patch recommendation for repos DB which should also help
    Also you can refer to below doc which covers some important tuning tips

  • How to view Dehydration Store Performance in OEM 12c Cloud Control

    Hi All,
    I have installed OEM 12c Cloud Control.I want to view dehydration store performance for my fusion middleware domain.Can anyone please suggest me how can I achieve this?
    I have added the database, where soa schemas are created, as a monitored target in OEM 12c Cloud Control. Also have added Fusion middleware domain for which I want to view dehydration store management.
    Thanks in Advance!!
    Edited by: Roshni Shankar on Sep 19, 2012 5:26 AM

    You should open an SR and support can assist you with it. The only current case where that feature is known to not work is in the case where the Dehydration Store is running on RAC. Otherwise, it should be possible to get it to work. The main thing is that you need to have DB configuration properties (host, port, sid) that have a 3-way string match between the JDBC data source configuration in the WLS server, the JDBC properties you add to the Monitoring Properties of the SOA Infrastructure target, and the connect settings of the Database target in EM that matches to the dehydration DB.
    If there isn't a match in all 3, the Dehydration Diagnostics page will not work. But again, to look into your specific setup, you should file an SR and work with support.

  • How to add a weblogic cluster in OEM 12c Cloud Control

    Hi All,
    I have created one SOA domain with a two node cluster. My cluster contains two servers; one on each machine. Now I want to monitor my domain with OEM 12c cloud control. I my OEM 12c cloud control I can add my weblogic domain but if that domain contains a cluster and in the cluster one server must be residing on the some other machine. Then how exacly in OEM 12c I can a add a target which is of type weblogic domain and contains a weblogic clusters with two servers?
    Please advise on this..!!
    Thanks in advance!!

    EM12c can take care of multiple hosts during discovery and you don't have to do anything special, however, for SOA its advisable to have local agents monitor their individual hosts; hence, you should first discover both your hosts in EM first by pushing agents to each of the hosts using Setup>Add Targets>Add Targets Manually and then discover the SOA domain. You local agents will be picked up automatically that will eventually monitor your 2 nodes/servers.

  • How to inegrate OID with OEM 12c Cloud Control

    Hi All,
    Can anyone please tell me how can I integrate OID with OEM 12c Cloud Control. As we can integrate our weblogic administration console with OID,is it possible to integrate OEM cloud control with OID?
    Thanks in Advance!!

    Hi,
    Please find the URL below:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e24473/security.htm#BABGAGIJ
    Following section will provide you the information for OID intergration:
    13.2.5 Oracle Internet Directory (OID)
    You can implement an OID-based authentication scheme to have Enterprise Manager authenticate users against the OID.
    Running the emctl config auth oid command on the OMS creates a WebLogic authentication provider of type OracleInternetDirectoryAuthenticator that uses the configuration parameter values specified by the command. Any configuration values not specified retain the default values. Tuning and modification of advanced OID configuration parameters is carried out through the WebLogic Server Administration Console and not the emctl config auth oid command.
    Prerequisites
    Oracle Internet Directory LDAP server is set up and running.
    Run the emctl config auth oid command on each OMS.
    emctl config auth oid -ldap_host <ldap host> -ldap_port <ldap port> -ldap_principal <ldap principal> [-ldap_credential <ldap credential>] [-sysman_pwd <pwd>] -user_base_dn <user base DN> -group_base_dn <group base DN>
    where:
    ldap_host: LDAP host name
    ldap_port: LDAP port
    ldap_principal: The distinguished name (DN) of the LDAP user the WebLogic server should use to connect to the LDAP server.
    ldap_credential: Password for the user specified by ldap_principal.
    user_base_dn: The base distinguished name (DN) of the tree in the LDAP directory that contains users.
    group_base_dn - The base distinguished name (DN) of the tree in the LDAP directory that contains groups.
    Example:
    emctl config auth oid -ldap_host "ldaphost" -ldap_port "3060" -ldap_principal "cn=orcladmin" -user_base_dn "cn=users,dc=us,dc=oracle,dc=com" -group_base_dn "cn=groups,dc=us,dc=oracle,dc=com" -ldap_credential "my_ldap_password" -sysman_pwd "my_sysman_password"
    Stop the OMS.
    emctl stop oms -all
    Restart the OMS.
    emctl start oms
    Note:
    For Enterprise Manager deployments consisting of multiple OMS instances, emctl config auth oid must be run on each OMS. Each OMS must be restarted in order for changes to take effect.
    Testing the OID Configuration
    Use the WebLogic Server Administration Console (Users and Groups tab) to check whether the OID configuration has been successful. To navigate to this tab, select Home/Summary of Security Realms/myrealm/Users and Groups. From the Users and Groups tab, you should see users and groups showing up from the OID.
    Best Regards,
    Venkat

  • OEM 12c Cloud Control/WebLogic - Running slow

    Recently installed Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Cloud Control on AIX 64 Bit Server. It is running considerably slower than existing 10g Grid Control version.
    We setup on a server with 4 GB and plenty of diskspace - I believe the 10g server only had 1 GB free. Has Oracle gone the way of Bloatware as MS/Symantec, and others? If so, what are the new unofficial (there are recommended minimums vs. functional minimums) specs to run OEM on a server?
    Thank you in advance for you comments!

    Before you started installing you did of course did read the documentation? Maybe you missed the part of the hardware requirements in the Basic Installation Guide. The OMS server should have at least 6 GB memory and 2 cpu's and for the Repository database the same.
    But this depends on the number of agent, targets and concurrent users. You can check this in the mentioned guide in the chapter "Meeting Hardware Requirements".
    If the adviced redo log size is 300 MB and I would not know you would stick to the default redo log size. It is a small effort to create a number of redo logs with the proper size and drop the small ones.
    You run de repository on a production server, meaning you can have a lack of resources. It is adviced to have the OMS and OMR on the same or on separate dedicated servers.

  • Facing error while creating report in OEM 12c Cloud Control

    Hi All,
    I want to create a report in OEM 12c Cloud Control in Information Publisher. I have select element as "Table from SQL" and want to select data from "gc$metric_values_latest" view. But when I am writing a sql statement like..
    select * from gc$metric_values_latest
    Then on execution I am getting the following error "Error rendering element. Exception: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist "
    What can be the issue for this. Please suggest..
    Thanks in Advacnce!!!

    Is this mean that we can not fetch data from gc$metric_values_latest view or we need to do some configuration in order to fetch information from this view. Because I am able to fetch from views like mgmt$metric_current or mgmt$metric_history
    So what can be the probable cause of not getting access to gc$metric_values view

  • 12c Cloud Control installtion issue (on Windows 7-64 bit)

    Hello,
    I am trying to install 12c Cloud Control on my personal computer Windows 7 (64-bit) OS for practice purpose. The database setup has been fine and the creation of pluggable database has been successful post which we need to install the cloud control setup. There is an issue at "Step 6 of 9" where we are required to provide the database Configuration Details. The details are: Database Host Name, Port, SID, SYS password. After providing these details it shows the following error:
    "There was a problem connecting to the database on the host and port specified. Check to make sure the host is up or that the database listener is running on that host."
    My understanding is:
    Database Host Name: it is the fully qualified name of my computer, which in my case is "SRIDHAR-PC".
    I ran the following script and it confirmed the same: [quote]DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE()UTL_INADDR.GET_HOST_NAME[/quote]
    Port: the default port "1521" that I have provided and which I have not configured anywhere during installation. So it is the default one.
    SID: The SID of the pluggable database being asked and. In this case it is "PLUGDB"
    SYS password: The password of the sys account.
    How do I resolve this error?

    I am sorry for having asked this question outside the forum that I am supposed to for the issue. Progressing further on the issue, yes I have tried connecting them using the credentials and it succeeds connecting the database. On digging further I found that I have been installing the 12c Cloud Control setup on 12c database with pluggable-container database architecture, unfortunately which the 12c Cloud Control EM does not support to be installed on. To install the 12c EM Cloud Control we need to install it on either of the two databases:
    1) A pre-12c instance, i.e. 11g database (OR)
    2) 12c database installed as a regular installation (as we install the 11g DB) which is not installed as a container-pluggable database combination (This option needs to be selected at the time of database installation).
    Oracle can support monitoring the databases which contain the container-pluggable database structure along with the single instance and RAC architecture, but to install the EM Cloud Control setup, it cannot be installed on DB's which consists container-pluggable structure.

  • 12c cloud control software costs extra or free with normal support

    Hi,
    I am interested to use 12c now, as I have managed enough databases with 11g Grid Control.
    I have read some docs about 12c licensing, but I would be thankful if someone could answer me himself. My questions is: Whether one is required to buy extra or separate license to use 12c cloud control software to manage Data Guard setups for example, or it's not required if one has Enterprise or Standard support license, or may be its free if someone has DIAGNOSTIC & TUNING PACK license?

    Hi Ken,
    Wow, I've logged into adobe and never seen your response until now.
    I need to make the forums more of a daily stop I guess.
    Thank you for your response, When I go to the Archives, it states I have none. In addition, previously when I'd tried to move items to the archive, they just disappeared  
    Currently my desktop is not connecting at all, Everytime I connect, it's states "We have now logged you out" and requests I login again.
    I have of course rebooted,
    Gone into taskmanager, killed all the relevant threads,  tried again to login through the desktop, no luck, I'll have to uninstall it, make sure the threads are killed, then reboot it and then reinstall it, but I've not had the time to do that.
    On another note, and just as a point of reference, myself, personally, I hate these "cloud" file repositories (not to be confused with adobe cloud services which I love) but the file repositories themselves imho, are a blackhole of resource usage when one doesn't/isn't using them,
    Is there a way we can use it more of a "ftp" sort of thing, when I want to I can  put files there?  There is no way to "Download" the repository, no way to download the folders.. only individual files and then it takes I think three different steps before the download starts.. I find this very inhibiting.  Just an fyi. for what it's worth.
    Please, feel free to contact me,
    I'm on g+ chat [email protected]
