Disabling Management Packs automatically

Not sure if this is the right place but after a duplicate with RMAN I have to recreate the EM repository with emca. Everything is fine and fully automated except I have to disable all features in the Management Pack Access manually while control_management_pack_access is set to NONE. I find it very annoying I selected SE One during installation and everytime I do a duplicate I have to disable the features again. Can this be automated? I read about CHOPT but from what I understand the database has to be closed. Isn't there another way?
Another question, is it really necessary to disable all features from the Management Pack Access when you only have a SE One license? It's not like I am using those features.

The control_management_pack_access parameter is dynamic and you can set to NONE to turn off the featuers.
If you are not using the features, still you have to disable the management packs.
refer below link for features availability by edition.

Create multiple management packs and groups

Hi,
I wonder if it is a way to create a lots of Groups and management packs automatically/scripted.
My problem is that I have a list with about 200 services that I need to setup monitoring for.
The monitoring are simple, its just if the service are started or stopped.
I need to have one management pack and one group for each service.
Like this:
The monitor monitors the service "workstation" if its started or stopped.
The monitor needs to be created in a management pack with this name: "Custom-Service-workstation"
The agents that I want to monitor this on need to be members of the group "Group-Custom-Service-workstation"
Please, please help me with this.

Complete removal of some management packs? (not disable, but removal)

Hi all,
We are using Oracle Standard Edition 10g database.
As far as I know there are some options that don't belong in Standard Edition without proper licenses such as:
*Application Server Configuration and Diagnostics Pack
*Database Configuration
*Diagnostics and Tuning pack
Can you please point me to an document where it is described how these can be completely removed (not just disabled from EM Database Control -> Setup - Management packs) - thus removing all v$iews and pl/sql packages, etc...
Appreciate your help in advance!

Maybe there's a way to do this with Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) runInstaller. We ran into the same issue with completely removing plugins and this command satisfied our needs.
I have not tried this yet personally.

Exchange Server 2013 Management Pack in SCOM 2012, can not update healthset status automatically

Hi, all
I have Exchange Server 2013 and SCOM 2012 installed. I have imported Exchange Server 2013 Management Pack to SCOM 2012. Now I have a question that when there is a service not healthy, I can find the red alert in my alert view with the Exchange 2013 server,
but after the service is healthy automatically, the red alert is still there. I can only make it become green healthy status after reseting the healthset status in the healthset explorer.
Does anyone know how to make the server become green healthy status automatically after the monitor is healthy?
Thank you.
Nile

Hi,
How many Exchange Servers do you have? Does this issue only occur on one Exchange Server?
Please check the application log on the problematic Exchange server and see whether there are any related event error.

SCOM 2012 Disabling Sealed Management Packs

Hi, I need to disable some default MP in scom 2012 as part of testing and its a sealed MP. Could someone pls help me out to share a powershell script for executing the same.
Also I want to know, if I disable this MP, will it allow me to enable in future.
Pls advise..
Regards, Rajeev Parambil

There is no easy way of disabling all alerts, but this script could be used:
http://www.systemcentercentral.com/disabling-all-the-rulesmonitors-of-a-management-pack-in-scom-2012/
I don't know your situation, but I would recommend implementing the management pack in a demo environment, tune the alerts to a new management pack, and then import that custom mp into a production environment.

SQL Management Pack Agent Job Unit Monitors

I am trying to utilize the SQL Agent Job Monitors included with the SQL Management Pack (page 81 of the MP guide), particularly the "Last Run Status" monitor. I have set an Override for "Generate Alerts" to True. The goal
is to have an email notification sent when any SQL Agent job fails on a specific group of computers. However, I am not familiar enough with what "Last Run Status" is actually monitoring and if it will do what I am looking for. Does this monitor
check the job status of any agent job on the target group? I tried setting up a job for it to fail, which it does fail, but it does not generate an alert. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

1) For monitoring SQL server job status, you can refer to the following blog
http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2011/08/05/how-to-monitor-sql-agent-jobs-using-the-sql-management-pack-and-opsmgr.aspx
2) For troubleshoot: Make sure that your SQL agent job is discovered, you may find the discovered job under Microsoft SQL Server --> SQL Agent --> SQL agent job status. By default, the discovery is disabled and you should enabled the discovery by using
override.
Roger
Thanks. So I enabled Agent Job discovery for the systems that I want. It discovered those objects. Now, I still cannot get the alerting to work. I can see the Health State of the job change to a Warning, indicating "Last Run Status" equals Failed, but
it is not generating an alert. I set Overrides (Generates Alert = True) on a Group that included one of the job objects, nothing. I also set the same Override directly on the job object and I still do not receive an alert. Any ideas? I
noticed someone in the comments mentioned in the blog you linked, a similar issue, except with the Job Duration monitor. However, he was able to get alerts to generate by setting the Override directly on the Job object and noted that it is not a
feasible solution due to the number of jobs he wants to monitor. Again, I tried the same, but still could not get alerts. That solution would not be acceptable for me either because of the number of jobs that I would have to set individual Overrides for.

A note on Setup Manager - Application Change Management Pack

Hi All,
This is Mugunthan, Development manager for iSetup and Setup Manager. I am happy to begin my note with the launch of Application Change Management Pack 3.1. For those who are not aware of Application Change Management Pack, it is a new product built on top of Oracle Enterprise Manager and comprises of three major modules namely Setup Manager, Customization Manager and Patch Manager. You can find more information about this pack here (LCM: Oracle Application Change Management Pack Setup Manager is enhanced and advanced version of iSetup on Oracle Enterprise Manager. There were good amount of reasons to re-architect iSetup on Oracle Enterprise Manager as Setup Manager.
Why Setup Manager?
Ability to migrate to data over point releases of EBS – EBS comes up with rollup patches on top of major releases periodically. It means that you have to certify the patch before it get deployed on to production which means that setup data are to be certified again. iSetup cannot connect between 12.0.4 to 12.0.6 or 12.0.6 to 12.1.1. We have achieved the data migration for above scenarios in Setup Manager (11i to R12 is not supported in Setup Manager)
Projects – Setup Manager supports grouping of Extracts, Transforms, Loads and Reports as a single entity and can be deployed multiple times to multiple targets. The project consists of one or more tasks (of type Extract/Load/Transform/Report) and can be orchestrated according to your ends. Project execution supports scheduling which means that you can use this feature to sync up setup data between two instances at periodic internal. Projects can be shared with other users which is remarkable difference between iSetup and Setup Manager. You can share your projects with others in a combined development environment. The functional configuration data (Extracts) are stored in Oracle Enterprise Manager. This means that you can refresh EBS without losing Extracts.
Integration with Change Approval mechanism – Execution of projects is integrated with change approval mechanism which means that you can control who executes what. Also, you have fine grain access control where you can control EBS targets assigned to a user.
Offline Transformation – I would say this is the most unique feature of Setup Manager and as an implementer you would welcome this feature very much. iSetup has got very limited capability on Transformation. Here we have gone way ahead and support Transformation on almost all Setup Objects. We present you the extracted data in excel sheets. You can download the excel template and work offline. All the attribute value fields in the excel sheet are editable which means that you supply your own value. For example, you can download Operating Unit data in xls file and change operating unit “OU100” to “OU200” and upload it back to system and load to target instance. Please note that any attribute of Operating Unit setup data can be edited. Also, system has got intelligence and once you upload the excel sheet, it automatically changes all the inventory organization which belongs to “OU100” to “OU200”. This behavior can be controlled using attribute mapping which you can create in Setup Manager. Hold on, this is not the end, also you can add more operating unit in excel, say OU300 and OU400 and load it to target instance. You can delete few Operating Units from extracted data in excel sheet and load the remaining to target instance. This gives you complete flexibility to manage (add/edit/delete) functional configuration data offline. This is fantastic feature and please have a look at how it works.
Advanced Filtering – Filter support in iSetup is not flexible where you cannot use comma separated values and complex sql join conditions. Also you do not know what query is executed behind the scenes to the data. All this problems are addressed in Setup Manager 3.1. We show you the “select clause” (SQL) associated with interface and provide you a text field where you can refer the select clause and provide your own custom where criteria (SQL). This means that filter support is unlimited and you can set filter any database columns. For example, you can extract “Responsibilities/Menu” which are active or created as on yesterday. You can extract all Operating Units excluding “OU100 and OU200”. We support all filter criteria that are supported by SQL.

Hi,
your note very interesting. Is there any other way to extract the configuration using SQL? not using Enterprise Manager? hope this will be fastest way then using GUI base.
Thanks,
Fahmi Fahlevi

Distributed Application group relationships not displaying in health view (VSAE created management pack)

Hi there,
I am working through my first complex Distributed Application which I have been creating using VSAE. I have followed Brian Wren's training, but the result does not match what I am expecting.
I have created a single DA (based on the System.Service class) with four groups (base on System.Group) which will be populated with the core components of the application. Each of the groups (and the DA) is configured as a Public, Non-Abstract, Non-Hosted
Singleton, as per the MPAuthor.Stores example. Each of the four groups is linked via an Internal, Non-Abstract System.Containment relationship to the DA.
When I open the DA diagram view, I only get the DA class visible. Each of the four groups shows in the Groups node in the Operations Console. Based on the experience with importing the MPAuthor.Stores MP, I was not expecting to see the groups in the Groups
node, but linked in the DA diagram node.
I have configured dependency monitors for each of the groups, and these display in the Health Explorer but there is no health rolls up.
The only difference between the MPAuthor.Stores module and mine (that I am aware of) is MPAuthors.Stores is a 2007 R2 MP, and I have created a 2012 MP as I will be deploying to 2012 SP1 and there is no need for backwards compatibility.

Hi Vladimir,
Thanks again for your response. I'm not quite sure what you mean with your last post. My current DA model is:
| Dist App |
| System.Service |
|
| | | |
| Group 1 | | Group 2 | | Group 3 | | Group 4 |
| System.Group | | System.Group | | System.Group | | System.Group |
Where all the groups have discoveries for membership. Are you saying that I need another level of groups below these to house the objects?
I thought that the point of System.Group as a base class was that it did not appear in the console, but gave an automatic health rollup (as per TechNet). Interestingly I am not getting
the automated health rollup for the Groups for their members and it is displaying in the Groups list in the console.
I have also tried creating a new DA with a single group in an 07 MP, and have the same issue. The sample MPAuthor.Stores management pack works as expected.

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.

Enabled monitor through override not visible in custom management pack

Hello Everyone,
I've this requirement to enable a monitor which is disabled by default in its source sealed management pack. Using following article; via override; I enable the monitor and place it into a custom unsealed management pack.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/library/hh212818.aspx
Now when I try creating subscription based on that monitor; and select the custom unsealed management pack; that monitor is not listed/available. However, this same monitor which is turned enabled by override; is listed; if its parent sealed management pack
is selected.
Questions:
1) Would selecting this monitor from its sealed management pack; safe to assume this monitor is now enabled?
2) Is this default behavior for monitors turned enabled via override?
Please provide input to this, how an enabled monitor through override can be referenced to be used? Thank you.

1) If the override is done properly, yes, it is enabled. You can check that it is actually enabled by opening the health explorer of an object targeted by this monitor : it should be green/yellow/red instead of blank when it was disabled
2) It is the default behavior. What happens is that you store the override (just a parameter that says "ok, the monitor is now enabled") in the unsealed management pack, not a copy of the actual monitor.

SCOM 2012 Management Packs, Names of Servers they relate to.

hello,
I'm looking to find how I can get existing data from SCOM Management Packs.
I have existing MP importing into SCOM, although I want to know how I find out what named Servers they relate to.
I have been currently been able to view the XML files and look through the code for server names, but want to find out any easier way through SCOM. Is this possible ?
Grateful if you could advise.

Hi Rich,
I´n not really sure if i get your question correct but correct me if I´m wrong.
Once a Management Pack is imported into SCOM, It´s then distributed to all of your monitored servers where you´ve installed an agent. When this is done, the agent itself finds out what MP should be used on that particular server. A domain controller for
example will automatically use the AD Management Pack while a SQL server won´t use the AD management pack even though it is distributed to the server.
The easiest way to see which servers are using a specific MP is to look in the "Monitoring" tab in the Operations Console and there drill down to SQL Server MP for example. Then look for SQL Computers and you will see which computers have been discovered
as SQL Server computers.
