Emctl stop oms malfunctining?

Question

Hi,
In order to upgrade to EMR3 the Management Server has to be stopped.
$ /apps/oracle/product/em10g/agent10g/bin/emctl stop oms
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 10.2.0.1.0.
Copyright (c) 1996, 2005 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Agent Commands:
emctl start | stop agent
emctl getversion
emctl reload | upload | clearstate | getversion agent
emctl reload agent dynamicproperties [<Target_name>:<Target_Type>]....
emctl config agent <options>
emctl config agent updateTZ
emctl config agent getTZ
emctl resetTZ agent
emctl config agent credentials [<Target_name>[:<Target_Type>]]
Blackout Usage :
emctl start blackout <Blackoutname> [-nodeLevel] [<Target_name>[:<Target_                                             Type>]].... [-d <Duration>]
emctl stop blackout <Blackoutname>
emctl status blackout [<Target_name>[:<Target_Type>]]....
The following are valid options for blackouts
<Target_name:Target_type> defaults to local node target if not specified.
If -nodeLevel is specified after <Blackoutname>,the blackout will be applied to all targets and any target list that follows will be ignored.
Duration is specified in [days] hh:mm
emctl getemhome
emctl ilint
emctl start | stop | status subagent
Secure Agent Usage :
emctl secure agent <registration password>
emctl secure status agent [oms http url]
emctl unsecure agent
Any hint what to look for?
Thx,
Dobby

Hi Dobby,
$ /apps/oracle/product/em10g/agent10g/bin/emctl stop omsIs this path to emctl right? Is this your $ORACLE_HOME/bin?
It may be a pathing issue. Here is the pathing I use for OMS:
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0export ORACLE_HOMEPATH=.:$PATH:.;$ORACLE_HOME/dcm/bin/:$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/:$ORACLE_HOME/ldap/bin/:$ORACLE_HOME/ldap/odi/admin/:$ORACLE_HOME/oca/bin/:$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/:$ORACLE_HOME/portal/admin/plsql/sso/:$ORACLE_HOME/sso/lib/:$ORACLE_HOME/uddi/lib/:$ORACLE_HOME/upgrade/:$ORACLE_HOME/wireless/bin/
Here are the Oracle docs on emctl, that might help:

Hope this helps. . . .
