A question regarding Management pack dependency.

Hi All,
I am new to SCOM, I have a question regarding management pack dependency.
My question is, Is Dependency is required when New alerts are created in a unsealed MP and the object class selected during alert creation is (i.e Windows server 2012 full operating system) and it is on a Sealed management pack ?
For example i have a Sealed Windows server 2012 monitoring management pack.
I have made a custom one, for windows server 2012, So if it the custom is not dependent on the sealed Windows server 2012 monitoring management pack, Then cant i create any alerts in the custom management pack targeting the class Windows server
2012 full operating system ?

Hi CyrAz,
Thank you for the reply. Now if your's and my understanding is the same, Then look at the below what happened.
I created a Alert monitor targeting a Windows Server 2012 class in my custom management pack which
is not dependent on the Windows server 2012 management pack, But how was i successfully able to create them when the dependency is not there at all, If our understanding is same, then there must be an Error thrown while creating the monitor its self right
? But how was SCOM able to create that ?
Look at the below screenshot.
I was able to create a monitor targeting Windows server 2012 Full operating system and create a alert on the custom management pack which is not at all dependent
on the Windows server 2012 Sealed MP.
Look at the dependency of the management pack where i do not have the Windows server 2012 management as my custom management is not dependent on that.
Then how come this is possible ?

Questions regarding managing Siebel

Hey all,
I have the following questions:
1- What responsibility/ way for the Siebel Users to only perform a read only function on both Siebel Call Center (All screens) and Siebel eService
2- Customers can read only certain statuses in Siebel eService regarding a Service Request Status (For example a status of Waiting for customer response)
3- How can I manage the Products screen in Siebel so that I can enter name of Products and Sub-Products (Could I rename the fields of Parent and child products to Products and Sub-Products?)
Regards,
Edited by: Hamzeh Al-Karmi on Sep 14, 2010 1:57 AM

Ok the bank that is implementing Siebel would like the customer read certain service request statuses whenever it is changed in Siebel Call Center. Because whenever for example is changed from Unassigned-Development to Assigned Development the Customer would get an email from Siebel mentioning that the SR that was opened has changed. So he reads the new status (Assigned-Development) But the bank doesnt want the customer to read this status or any status that should only be between the employees. Instead the customer should be able to read specific statuses that would be read by the customer like Waiting for customer response. Because the customer is complaining that he is getting a lot of emails from Siebel regarding the Service Request opened which most emails are statuses that are changed to "Assigned/Unassigned/Under Development" all those technical statuses that as mentioned before should only be read by the employees and not the customer.

CRS Installation - Question regarding media pack

Hi all,
I am waiting for the 10gR2 media pack to do a CRS install. When the media pack arrives, what CD/DVD should I start with? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

You get separate DVD;s for CRS installtion and RDBMS installtion.
You need to first install CRS and then RDBMS.

Coherence Management Pack questions

Hi all,
I'm attempting to setup the Coherence Management Pack for OEM12c integration but have a few questions on which I can seem to get clear answers. My understanding is that there needs to be a node setup as a JMX monitoring node for the Coherence Management Pack to function. Based on my research this should ideally be a separate node used just for JMX monitoring and not used as a data cache node. So my questions are:
1. Does this separate node used just for JMX monitoring require a Coherence license?
2. Is this node a single point of failure (SPOF) whereby if it goes offline then Coherence monitoring also goes offline?
3. What is the thinking/recommendation for using this single node as the JMX monitoring node for multiple environments, i.e. DEV, TST, QUA, and PRD?
I appreciate any assistance.
Thanks.

Hi,
It is included in the OEM 11g installation and there is no seperate software/binaries required for Coherence Management Pack.
Cheers,

Questions on Oracle Management Packs

1. What is the difference between MANAGEMENT PACK and CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT PACK (Oracle versions 10g & 11g)
2. If one uses CONFIGURATION must one also use MANAGEMENT?
3. Is there a view that tells if either of these are actually being used? (No, I dont mean using the capability in Grid Control/EM to turn them on or off)

5. Do Extent also span files(ORA files) i.e. 'Table can span across ORA files' whether it means part of a Extent may present in one Data file and other part in another data file.
A table Extents can span into multiple datafiles. But, a single extent can't span into multiple datafiles.
4. How are Bitmap used to track used and Free space in Locally managed TablespacesA Locally Managed Tablespace is a tablespace that manages its own extents maintaining a bitmap in each datafile to keep track of the free or used status of blocks in that datafile. Each bit in the bitmap corresponds to a block or a group of blocks. When the extents are allocated or freed for reuse, Oracle changes the bitmap values to show the new status of the blocks. These changes do not generate rollback information because they do not update tables in the data dictionary (except for tablespace quota information), unlike the default method of Dictionary - Managed Tablespaces.
** Reduced recursive space management
** Reduced contention on data dictionary tables
** No rollback generated
** No coalescing required
3. How many blocks will form a Extent. Is it configurable ?, Where we need to configure whether we need specify it in Storage Parameters or in some configuration files?

Management Pack Contents Question

Hello,
I have recently became the owner of our SCSM 2012 R2 environment and the previous admin was all over the place with putting things in seemingly random management packs. I am in the process of cleaning things up but at the same time I am afraid of removing
a management pack in case there is some "grenade" in it.
Is there an easy way to list or determine what is in each management pack? Maybe a series of powershell scripts? I have been searching on the internet for an answer and trying out a few commands myself but nothing seems to be what I am looking
for.
Thank you in advance.

Personally, I just look at the XML in the sql database.
select MPName, convert(xml,mpxml) from Managementpack with(nolock)
I'll assume your previous admin put things in unsealed MPs via the console.
In my opinion, the only grenade would be classes or relationships defined in the MP. Other than that, generally you can remove an MP and simply re-import it with no ill effects. Classes and relationships, when their MP is removed, also remove any data defined
in those classes/relationships. So, those are the ones to watch out for.
Unsealed MPs cannot be referenced by other MPs, so again, generally, the only affect removing an unsealed MP can have is removing stuff defined in that unsealed MP..which can be things like templates, views, console tasks, worfklow rules, notification subscriptions,
etc. So while some functionality may be removed (like a view is suddenly missing), re-importing the MP will put the view right back where it came from.
Anyway, I don't know of any simple powershell scripts to get a management pack's manifest (like: How many views are in this MP?), but I would look through your XML and catalog the views, templates, custom console tasks, custom workflows (which include notification
subscriptions) and groups&queues (which include custom classes). Then you can start eliminating the unnecessary stuff.
Incidentally, if you're simply trying to clean-up stuff that was created in the console, I recommend removing that stuff using the console..that way you won't have to deal with MPs at all. For example, if you want to get rid of a view that your previous
admin created, simply go to the view and run the "Delete View" task. You can do the same for templates, notification subscriptions, workflows, etc etc.
I apologize for rambling on quite a bit longer than was necessary :)

AD Management Pack question again

Hi everybody!
Guide instruction presented with AD MP says about installing agent on
ALL Domain controllers. But there is one "but"....In my situation there are several domains in one forest (one parent and two subdomains). My management group there is in one of subdomains. Do i have to install agents to other domains....?
In guide says nothing about it(((

Hi,
The ADMP supports the monitoring of forests in addition to the forest where Operations Manager and the management pack are installed. You can deploy agents to remote forests. The management pack will gather health and performance data for the remote forest
according to the view of the domain controller where the agent is installed.
For more information, please review the link below:

Management pack license question

is all the management packs require license to use?
I see in the grid licensing page:
"Some premium functionality contained within this release of Enterprise Manager requires a separate Oracle license"
How do you know which needs license?
specifically, I am looking at using Service Level Management Pack. Is this free with grid or it needs a separate license from Oracle?
Thanks.

Hi,
When you login to OEM,In the left bottom corner of your home page you can see a link "About Oracle Enterprise Manager",click on tht (+) sign and then it will show the details of mgmt packs.
Click on any of those mgmt pack name and u will get licensing info.

Is it possible to use SCOM 2012 R2 with the new Azure Managment Pack to monitor Aure Wadlog Events for azure sdk 2.5

My operations team has been using MOM 2007 and has recently migrated to SCOM 2012 R2.
Till now we are using Monitoring Pack management packs which were released way earlier (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11324),
and had a dependency on diagonstics connection string being present in the cscfg of Azure package.
This pack was allowing us to monitor the wad logs and events generated by applications.
However we plan to move to newer Azure managemen pack (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38414), which allows for discoverability.
I have 2 questions -
Is it possible to monitor Diagonstics Event Log with the new Monitoring Pack released on 10/2014 ? Or will the users still require the earlier pack for monitoring diagnostics installed in parallel ?
Azure SDK 2.5 got rid of diagonstics connection string. Is there any possible way to Monitor of Azure Diagonstics wadlogs using SCOM 2012 R2
Thanks,
Pratush

Hi Pratush,
I would like to suggest you go through the management pack guide to get details. And you should be able to create custom monitor to monitor event logs for Azure.

Error showing while adding a management pack to 2007R2 authoring console

Hi Every one,
While trying to add an unsealed management pack to 2007 authoring console we are getting error
XSD Verification failed for management pack[line: 1, "color:#222222;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;">

any help will be thank full

The Authoring Console has not been updated and does not understand the OpsMgr 2007R2 MP Schema version. It can still be used to produce MP that will work on OpsMgr 2007 R2, but you need to reference the old versions of the libraries.

Basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005 and there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed in Production

Hi all,
I got one basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005. I wanted to know How this package works in production where there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed. To check that there is excel driver installed
or not, I followed steps: Start-->Administrative Tools--> Data Sources(ODBC)-->Drivers and I found only 2 drivers one is SQL Server and another one is SQL Server Native Client 11.0.
Windows edition is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, Service Pack-1 and System type is 64-bit Operating System.
We are running this package from SQL Server Agent and using 32-bit (\\Machine_Name\d$\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn\DTExec.exe /FILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\ Folder_Name\EtL.dtsx" /CONFIGFILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\Folder_Name\Config.dtsConfig"
/MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E) to run this package. I opened the package and tried to find out what connection we have used and found that we have used "Excel Connection Manager" and ConnectionString=Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=F:\Fares.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"; and source is ‘Excel Source’
I discussed with my DBA and He said that SSIS is having inbuilt Excel driver but I am not convinced.
Could anyone please clear my confusion/doubt?
I have gone through various links but my doubt is still not clear.

Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

Hi S Kumar Dubey,
In SSIS, the Excel Source and Excel Destination natively use the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider which is installed by SQL Server. The Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider deals with .xls files created by Excel 97-2003. To deal with .xlsx files created by
Excel 2007, we need the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider. SQL Server doesn’t install the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider, to get it we can install the
2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable or Microsoft Office suit.
The drivers listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator are ODBC drivers not OLEDB drivers, therefore, the Excel Source/Destination in SSIS won’t use the ODBC driver for Excel listed in it by default. On a 64-bit Windows platform, there are two versions
of ODBC Data Source Administrator. The 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator is C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe, while the 32-bit one is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. The original 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC drivers are installed by the Windows operating system.
By default, there are multiple 32-bit ODBC drivers and fewer 64-bit ODBC drivers installed on a 64-bit platform. To get more ODBC drivers, we can install the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable.
Besides, please note that 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components only install 32-bit ODBC and OLEDB drivers because it only has 32-bit version, but the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable has both 32- bit version and 64-bit
version.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

How to manage your environments, going from Development (DEV) to Production (PRD) with Management Packs.

I am looking for a way to go from the development (DEV) environment to the production (PRD) environment in a controlled manner.
As I do not want to manually click around with a walk-through screen-shots document = error prone.
As I read these articles
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh519659.aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/antoni/archive/2013/10/09/system-center-service-manager-operations-manager-management-pack-and-naming-convention-best-practices.aspx

http://www.netiviaconsulting.com/2012/05/10/staying-organized-with-scsm-beware-of-the-management-pack-jungle/
I still have some questions:
1. Can all MPs (un-sealed) be exported from DEV and imported to PRD without breaking things?
2. Are there any known pitfalls?
3. Do you have some tips on this matter? In other words, how do you manage this?
Regards,
Erik

Alex is spot-on. Most MPs are environment/management group independent.
But some MPs contain what I call "Environment Specific Variables". In my experience, ESVs are in:
1) Templates (such as the runbook guids)
2) Criteria blocks (like view criteria, and rule criteria)
3) Parameters (such as write action parameters, and console task parameters)
Alex already gave an example of a template ESV.
An example of a Criteria ESV might be some view that you developed that returns objects that have a specific set of values in your dev environment, but may be different for your prod environment. ie: You have a view whose criteria looks afor a specific business
service ServiceId property. Let's say "Business Service X". But "Business Service X" has a different ServiceId in your dev environment than in your prod environment. So, every time you import your view MP from dev to prod, you have to remember to change your
criteria.
A quick Parameter ESV example; you have a notification subscription (a rule+writeaction). In Dev, you've hardcoded the notification recipient to be yourself. In Prod, the recipient has to be your boss. So, every time you import your MP from Dev to Prod,
you have to remember to change the recipient parameter in the subscription's writeaction.
Like Alex said, handling ESVs by hand is error-prone and time consuming.
Alex, when you write that utility, you should make it more robust. Within an MP, allow a user to pick and configure
any ESV. Store that configuration. Then, just run the MP through the utility and have it automatically set all the configured ESVs to the appropriate environment specific value :) (It's been something I've wanted to write into TFS for
a while, but I never take the time to do it ;) ) If an ESV is missing (because it was removed or changed in such a way that it no longer resembles the configured ESV), throw a warning during conversion.
