Figures in Grid Control and Enterprise Manager Console don't match!

Hi,
I have just installed Oracle 10g Grid Control and it is managing an existing database on another server. It appears to gather information as expected in most areas (I can look at the alert log through grid control and it is up to date to the nearest 60 seconds as I expect) but today I looked at how full my undo tablespace is and the figures seemed completely wrong. When looking through grid control it showed me that Undo was 20% full. When I looked in the old java console, it showed it was 30% full!
Is there any reason why figures in Grid Control would not be accurate or up to date? I have no error messages and it seems to be gathering data fine.
Is it more likely the old java console is not accurate? (I've always found it accurate in the past I think!).
These are Solaris Sparc servers, Oracle 10.2.0.3 Grid Control monitoring an Oracle 10.2.0.3 database on a remote server via management agent.
Thanks,
Paula

And this morning my old console says 21%, and the new Grid Control says 14%. So they both seem to be gathering the info and putting it out but they have completely different opinions on how much space is used. I think that makes the whole thing fairly useless. Not so glad I spent an age trying to get grid control set up now!!!
Any thoughts much appreciated!!!!
Thanks,
Paula

  • Oracle 10g Enterprise Manager DB control vs Enterprise Manager Console

    We have a consultant install Oracle 10g on Windows platform. Somehow, I only see Enterprise Manager Console installed and I can use this console to access database. I don't see Enterprise Manager Database Control installed. What difference between Console and DB control? Please advise.
    Thanks

    I see the interfaces are totally different. the console is more like Oracle 9i. I know the DB control is a web tool, just for Oracle 10g. My question is in terms of admin, which one is better? Why Oracle has different tool to manage Database?The Oracle Enterprise Manager Console is a Java Standalone client, not a 3-tier product like the EM DB Console.
    The Java Standalone client was deprecated in 10gR1. Probably since not all features had been ported to the 3-tier DB Console (eg: Spatial index management and Workspace Management), Oracle decided to let us use the Java Console as an extra install from the Client/Companion disk. However it is no longer available going forward into 11g.
    If you look at the 'Console' carefully, you will not that some areas are no longer functional and it does not cover all capability of 10g, for example in partitioning and indexing.

  • Differences Between Grid Control and Application Server Console

    Hi,
    I have come across a situation where a customer has an OC4J container and has deplyed several applications in this container. When they access Application Server Control Console thay can stop and start these applications individually.
    However, the customer cannot monitor the status/state of these applications from withing Grid Control. We can see that the OC4J container is either up or down and will be alerted for the change of status. However, if a single application within the container is down they will not be alerted.
    We are using GC 10.2.0.5, iAS 10.1.2.2. Is there a way around this, or dies the Application Server Console have a little extra functionalitly in it compared to Grid Control?
    Tim.

    Hi,
    On your grid control, create a new Notification rule and select "Web Application" from the target drop down and then select your application then in availability tab, select up and down for which you want to receive notification.

  • Grid control and em console !!

    We have been using em console for a long time. It is very usefull for us. But we want to go one step further. What is the difference between these two? What will we gain if we use Grid control instead of em console?
    Thank you very much for the replies.
    Regards.

    I assume you are refering to EM Database Control.
    EM Database Control is focussed on management of one single Database.
    OEM GRID Control, allows you to monitor and manage a complete data center. Meaning all Hosts (servers), Databases, Application Servers, Applications, Network components, Storage components etc. etc.
    By using Management Packs you will have an enormous amount of features to do things like:
    Configuration Management
    Performance Tuning
    Diagnostics
    Service Level Management
    Provisioning and Automated Patching
    Application Testing
    etc.etc.
    CHeckout the documentation and data sheets on OTN for more info.
    If you have any questions please ask.
    Regards

  • Oracle Grid Control and Oracle Application Management Pack for Siebel

    I am trying to get the Oracle Grid Control Software to work with the Siebel Application Management Pack so that I can effectively monitor Siebel. The client I am at does not have a budget for proper monitoring solution therefore, I have chosen the free alternative. Anyway, the Oracle 10G Agent is running on all the windows Siebel Servers and all of the Siebel Servers appear within the Oracle Grid Control management tool. At this time I am more interested in monitoring the Siebel metrics versus the windows metrics.. I have added Siebel as a Target Subtab within Oracle Grid Control. I have also successfully run through the Oracle Agent 10G SiebelClassPathfix.bat command on each Siebel Windows Server. What I am not able to do is add a Siebel Enterprise through the Oracle Grid Control Manager Software. When I attempt to add a Siebel Enterprise I receive the following error message. Any suggestions would be beneficial.
    An error occured while adding Siebel Enterprise.
    Credentials - Missing Credentials for host halcrmtgw01.dinghy.hal.test

    Please log a service request with tech support so that we can track this inquiry. On the service request, capture a screenshot of the page where you defined the host preferred credentials, and tell us the names of your servers.
    Btw, I take that you are stuck in the step in which you:
    - Click the "Add Enterprise" button to add the enterprise
    - Fill in the 7 parameters
    - Click Ok to start the discovery process
    Which release of Siebel and Enterprise Manager are you using?

  • GRID Control and management  hostname

    With a HA deployment you have to set :
    emd.properties:#AgentListenOnAllNICs=FALSE
    This is ok for me but the servers have 3 differents IP adresses (3 differents hostname), one is foucuss for management tasks and this is not the name registered by the Agent.
    Do you know if it is possible to run host scripts (external jobs) with Grid Control and to specify the hostname where these jobs have to run by default the jobs will run on the hostname registered by the Agent.

    Hello,
    There is currently no support for CEP in Grid Control.

  • Installing Grid Control and managing DBs on desktop

    I want to install Grid Control, and manage DB on my own testing environment on desktops...I tried one time to install Grid Control on my desktop i become very slow. Now i am thinking to buy new Desktop dedicated for Grid Control only and see how it goes...any suggestions?
    2nd how i can access my DB on the other desktop? Like i should install agents on that...and how to configure....

    When teaching this class I typically have 6 pairs of students sharing a single P4 3Ghz with 4Gb of RAM gridserver. (combined 10.1.0.4 emrep with single OMS on RH 3 AS)
    THis is more than enough for the 150 or so targets that we configure during class
    The agents are deployed in any of several methods.(the install DVD is probabally the easiest for 1's and 2's) If you are monitoring a db expect to use about 150Mb of RAM for the agent. After setting up the agent ensure that your computer has local security policy configured so that "Login as Batch" is enabled for the user account that will be used for authentication to the desktop. (this also means that you need to have a windows password configured for that account as well).
    The database configuration is semi-automatic once you have the agent installed on the desktop (it's called discovery)

  • Enterprise Manager Console in Ora10g?

    Hey everyone... I
    #1 Don't have memory to spare on my client's machine to run the EM website,
    #2 Don't like it all that well anyway.
    Is there any way to get Enterprise Manager Console (the Java version -- Originally called DBA Studio) back for 10g? Am I going to have to install Oracle 9i Client JUST for Enterprise Manager? Just wondering...

    Hello Mahendran,
    > But in our new Oracle 10.2.0.4 there is no option like that
    If you download the full oracle client (not the instant one), you have an option for installing the enterprise manager console. To be honest it is not exactly the same as the "old" enterprise manager .. but it looks like the same and if you don't use the whole enterprise manager functions it will be sufficient.
    You also have the possibility to use a Web Interface with Oracle 10g. It is called Enterprise DB Console or if you want the whole framework it is called Grid Control.

  • Enterprise Manager Console

    Hello,
    I'm reading documentation about Oracle10g, and I am a little bit confused. I have understood that it hasn't the Enterprise Manager Console and that the Administration task has to be executed from the OEM Grid Control (or OEM Database Control). But now, reading the "Advanced Replication 10g Release 2" (B14226-01) doc, in the 7th chapter it explains the Replication Management Tool in Oracle Enterprise Manager Console. So the question is: can I install the Enterprise Manager Console in the clients, if I have Oracle10g (10.2.0.1) in the server?
    I would really appreciate any answer, because although I have tried using the Grid Control, I can't. I'm sorry but the Console GUI is much better for me.
    Thanks in advance. Regards,
    Aran

    I take it you are looking for the old-style, java-based standalone EM Console. It is still around, but probably on it's way out.
    You install it from the 10.2 Client media, which you can download from here.

  • Oracle 11g client - Enterprise Manager Console?

    Hello, we use 10g Enterprise Manager Console on our windows desktops as a gui tool. We installed the administrator version of 11g client, but I cannot find the Enterprise Manager Console. Does anyone know where this is?
    Thanks!

    This is what I understand from doc:
    OEM Grid Control does not require an additional license if the follow this rule (from
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e10594/editions.htm#CJAHFHBJ)
    >
    A separate Oracle Database can be installed and used as a Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control (OEM Grid Control) repository without additional license requirements, provided that all the targets (databases, applications, and so forth) managed in this repository are correctly licensed. This database may also be used for the RMAN repository. It may not be used or deployed for other uses.

    and if you don't use any management packs http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e10594/options.htm#CIHGFIAF

  • Oracle 8i: Oracle enterprise manager console

    Dear all,
    I installed oracle 8i (8.1.6) server on linux and client on my own NT
    machine. I had no problem to access the database using sqlplus and DBA
    studio. I also configured oracle management server and tried to using
    Oracle Enterprise Manager Console. Also, there was no problem to discover
    the node and to ping agent. But, when I tried to connect to the database,
    it gave me the following error message: "ORA-12545: connect failed because
    target host or object does not exit". Can someone help me out?
    Thanks.
    Dewei

    add or drop users, Using GUI tools could be sometime dangerous.
    You can always use performance diagnostic (oracle provided) to have performance stats in graphical display.
    You can also use EM Grid Control (10g) in order to maintain 8i and 9i with 10g EM Grid control.
    You need to install an agent on those database in order to communicate with 8i and 9i.

  • Enterprise Manager Console does not open in browser following patch 41

    Last week I installed patch 41 on my Oracle 11.1.0.7.0 Database. The database resides on a Windows 2008 enterprise server (not R2). After the patch ran successfully, I have not been able to get into the GUI Enterprise Management Console to work since. It appears to make a connection to the logon screen and you can see urls/images loading in the browser, but the resulting browser screen for the logon is blank with "Oracle Enterprise Manager" on the title of the tab (non-descript object error in lower left corner). I get the same results with localhost or server name in the address bar.
    This was working before the upgrade. I have already successfully recreated the repository and verified that the dbconsole is up and running. I have "googled" this to death and cannot find a solution. I know I can still do things through the command line but for a quick glance at the databases, the grid control is nice to have.
    Any suggestions for fixes would be appreciated.

    I couldn't locate anything substantiial in the log files under my Oracle Home. However, I could be looking in the wrong log files. Any suggestions on which log file I should be checking.

  • Strange problem with 10G using client installed enterprise manager console

    I have successfully installed 10G on our SUSE linux 9.0 server, I have created 6 databases (standard edition of the database) and verified their parameter files, control files, and database files are in different locations --- all done at the server console. I created my DBA account on all 6 databases and logged into each one to verify their function.
    I returned to my PC where I have installed the 10G client and where I have used the 8 and 9 enterprise manager console to manage my databases. I got the TNSNAMES file in order for the new databases. I logged into the first database and tested my workstation connectivity successfully , I logged into the second database and it said my password was incorrect. I ended up signing in on the second database with my first databases account password. (it then worked). I got fed up hopping around with the mystery with the password being stored somewhere in the enterprise manager java ? and logged in as system and changed all of my passwords. I then went up to the console and found that the only database that they changed on was the first one.
    I returned to my workstation and started creating the data files and users and roles in the first database. I now on either workstation in my office, when logging in as ANY of the six database DBA accounts, can see all the objects I created in the first database.
    I went to the server console and logged in and verified that the objects only exist in the first database. For some reason the enerprise manager console is really a problem. I have windows XP. Our database is on 10G but we are not taking advantage of grid control due to budget reasons (one server only).
    I have heard there is a url based web management console at: http://serverip:5500/em, but it is not working currently in our environment and it will be up to our sys. engineers to release / open up that port through our DMZ. Ordinarily would this allow the kind of control that the old enterprise manager console would?
    Is my installing the grid conrol product going to be "overkill" and not useful for me or should I install it?
    Is there an alternative 10G version of the enterprise manager console for simpler environments like mine?
    Is there a good explanation why my workstations are presenting "false" cached information above what is really in the database for objects unique to each database - ie: why are my #1 database objects showing up in EMC as objects in all databases and why is EMC managing/storing my passwords.?
    I just need to get the best choice to manage my environment.
    I know I have asked a lot of questions and I would appreciate any insight from someone who has encountered this before.

    fixed
    - the alias in the TNSNAMES was correct but the actual database "service_name" was the first db - -- a long project / late night oversight. I also went into the sysman\ifiles\ and corrected the entry for the database there too where it had registered the settings for the wrong database.

  • Stopping the Enterprise Manager Console (Oracle 10g on SuSE 9.1)

    I'm trying to stop the Enterprise Manager Console by issuing the command:
    ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/emctl stop dbconsole
    Unfortunately, the command fails to stop the EM Console. Here's the output I get:

    The only way I can stop the EM Console (and related services--i.e., emagent) is to kill its process.
    Everything (Listener, DB Instance, EM Console) starts fine. I can stop the Listener and DB Instance without any problems. It's just the EM Console shutdown that doesn't happen cleanly.
