Event test "Archive Full (%)" failed: ora-28009:

Question

Trying to create an event that will send an email with OEM but Im getting this message
Event test "Archive Full (%)" failed: ora-28009: connection to sys should be as sysdba or sysoper in the event viewer.
Im not sure what this refers to though - to connect to Management Server it has to be sysman user. What "connection" is this referring to ???
Oracle 9.2.0.5.0 (due to migrate to 10g at years end hurrah!)
Windows XP (now, but AIX once in production)

Answer 1

OK thanks for that. I went ahead and did this:
Configuration
Manage Administrators
Selected SYSMAN
Preferred Credentials
Selected target database and erased everything from the Database Credentials fields (where previously we had SYS/AS SYSDBA etc. )
I am getting the same darn error as before.
Anyway, the OEM help for this screen says
Role Select the role from the pull-down list. You need to login with the SYSDBA or SYSOPER role to start up or shut down a database.
Still stuck on this. I dont properly understand the error itself - it is telling me that the connection to sys should be as sysdba - and I am connecting as sysdba. ... . not sure what else I can do apart from try and write a script and forget this altogether.
Thanks

Also, in the Event Viewer, according the documentation, there is an "advice" tab. I see no such tab. :(
When I try to create an event without any information supplied to the fields for SYSMAN Preferred Credentials, I get this in Event Viewer:
"Failed - ora-0:normal , successful completion."
Now I am really confused - a "failed, normal completion" ??
