Grid Control : Change Management Across Non-Prod and Prod

All,
I had some questions with regards to Grid Control Implementation Architechture on Prod and Non-Prod Env's
The best practice is to configure a production Grid Control (GC) environment to monitor only production targets. This prevents nonproduction targets from adversely impacting a production environment.Another issue could be the compliance policy where in the production systems are to be isolated from Non-Production Environments.
If this is the case then we have to have 2 GC environments , 1 for Prod and 1 for Non-Prod. In such a scenario how well can we do change management (Version control ) across the Non-Prod and Prod Environments ?
To be more specific
How is version control managed for Oracle builds if we have separate GC for Prod and Non-PROD? (Change Management pack / Configuration Management Packs are there but what is the real depth of these? )
Change management for the Oracle Environments from DEV -> Test -> Pre-Production-> Production? We aim to have consist build across the environments can we achieve this if the GC is managed by Different OMS/OMR and if we have 2 separate environments how do we sync the GC environments managing PROD/NON-PROD after a change?

This is feature is not there in 10.2
This situation can be avoid by chagning the 9i port to 1522
or install the GC on diffrent box

  • EM10gR2 Grid Control / Change Management Pack does not support TYPE objects

    I wonder any Oracle EM10gR2 Grid Control users, implementing Oracle Change Management Pack, have used it for the release and proper packages management.
    Issue1 - On an EM console / Web GUI the DDL comparison and synchronization is not supported at all. Implementing it @ customer it appeared that we have to install a 10g Java Client in order to use the code comparison and sync functionalities.
    Issue2 - and this is more serious - it appears that even with Java client in use, you cannot compare or sync objects related to TYPE or TYPE BODY data types. The comparison simply hangs.
    Asked help from support, they mentioned an ER from 8i and logged a new ER for 10g/11g. That is surprising especially as the doc (http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/A96679_01/toc.htm) about code comparison does not exclude the TYPE objects from the supported options.
    Any fellow DBA running to a same problem? What solutions & recommendations might you have?

    Hi Mugunthan,
    Can you provide links to any tutorial or example (screenshots) of using Setup Manager to transfer something between two environments (say Users or DFFs)?
    Thanks,

  • Which? - License for OEM Grid Control or just the additional Packs and Add-Ins?

    I took a look at the price list and I wanted to clarify the "Named User Plus". The Diagnostic and Tuning Packs are each shown as $100 for the named user. As a DBA, if I have a named user license for these two management packs, does this mean that I can manage as many databases as needed with these two management packs?

    Wow, 25 separate dbcontrols sound like a nightmare.
    By the way, our Oracle rep just happened to come here yesterday, and he validated what was said here.
    You can install the Grid Control free; you simply un-check the Packs/Add-Ins during the install.
    As I understand it, you would install the Grid Control Agent first on each server, then when you install Oracle RDBMS, the Universal Installer will detect the Agent and enable the Grid Control instead of the Database Control.
    Then you install the OEM Grid Control repository and software on a separate server, and that is where you manage all of the Oracle RDBMS servers from.
    He also said to use the highest version Grid Control Agents on the database servers and repository server and keep the versions of that software in sync, which is separate from the Oracle RDBMS version.

  • Release Date of EM Grid Control 10.2 for HP-UX and Solaris?

    Hello,
    does anybody know the estimated release date of EM Grid Control 10.2 for HP-UX and Solaris?
    Regards,
    Martin

    We are also very curious about that here. If anyone has any information or estimates it would be much appreciated.
    We've ran into the following problem:
    Note 338123.1 After Upgrading Catalog Database to 10.2 Cannot Use RMAN Catalog With 10.1 Grid Control
    And have been told we have the following options:
    Workarounds available:
    1. Use dbcontrol for the 10.2 database to maintain the recovery catalog until 10.2 Grid Control is available
    2. Use the RMAN command line utility
    3. Use the 10.2 Management Agent when available.
    Which basically means we are out of luck on OEM RMAN until 10.2, and hope to hear it may be available in the near future.

  • How does Grid Control Application Management Pack (AMP) discover targets?

    I have Grid Control 10.2.0.4 install and am trying to discover Oracle 11i applications. I have applied the patches required to the OMS and the agents and can see the Application Management tab at the top of the targets page. I am able to discover the individual components of the application (i.e. Apache, listeners, database, agents, hosts, forms, etc) but when I go under the Application Management tab and try to discover the Oracle applications I get the following error message:

    I have the white paper explaining how Grid Control discovers databases, listeners, application servers, etc. But I am not able to find a paper that tells how the Application Manager discovers the Oracle applications. Does anyone know of such a paper or which perl scripts are run?

    One of the biggest problems I have run into when doing these discoveries is that the agent and iAS and/or Oracle are owned by different users and the agent does not have permissions to read the configuration files.
    You situation may be a bit different.
    If the host is real busy, it sometimes takes a long time to load the gathered information into the repository. From looking at your log file, this may be your issue.
    How busy is the server(s) and database for you OMS and OEM database?

  • License for OEM Grid Control or just the additional Packs and Add-Ins?

    I have searched the forums and found the link below in a discussion about the Enterprise Manager Grid Control, but nobody answered this question specifically:
    Can you freely install and use the Grid Control (with no additional Packs or Add-Ins)? Or does the Grid Control itself require a license?
    P.S. The price list linked here only displays prices for Grid Control Packs and Add-Ins:

  • Grid control 10.2.0.5 upgrade and application server shutdown

    Current: 10.2.0.3, doing upgrade to 10.2.0.5
    OS: Redhat 4
    During the installer checks, Oracle is telling me the oracle application server will be shut down temporarily. What oracle application server? I did not know one gets installed when you install grid control. I thought that it just uses the http_server.
    What is it shutting down? I stopped the oms with opmnctl stopall, prior to running the installer. I believe that was in the readme.txt

    when you click on the tab "Application Servers" on the far upper left site of the GridControl (right next to Hosts, Databases, ...) then
    you will see of which components the Oracle Application server exists (HTTP-server, OC4J, WebCache, ...). Therefore the HTTP-server is just
    part of the application server - and if the application server gets shut down it's meant that all components wil get shut down...

  • Version-Control / Change-Management

    Hi there,
    I know there is a nice function in Enterprise Manager controlling your versions of your database-design and your schemas.
    That means: I can compare to schemas and the enterprise manager shows me the difference and what was changed during the last check.
    Does anybody know, how this feature is called and where I can get more infos?
    Thanx for help,
    Christian

    Hi Joe,
    we are using Subversion and the Tortoise Client for version control of project files. For the forms modules we inheritated via OLB a parameter in each forms module with initial value like "$Revision:: 1234 $" which can be overwritten by subversion in case of check-in. For libraries/reports we use a dummy function which returns the revision string. So the revision can be set by Subversion on check-out/check-in and can be displayed/retrieved at runtime in the application.
    Subversion/Tortoise can be configured to lock files on check-out, and to enter some comments on check-in. We use it for every kind of project file, e.g. database scripts, documentation, specifications, etc.
    For the deployment of final solutions we have created a small PHP-script which compiles all source files newer than the compilated files. This script is able to "distribute" all compilated files into a specified directory. Then we have to call our administrator who will copy the contents of this directory to the live servers.
    Hope this infos may help you.
    Regards
    Kai

  • Best way to deploy ODI artifacts across Dev,UAT and Prod

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement wherein we have to deploy the ODI artifacts from one repository to the other across various instances.
    From what I learned from the export and import operations in Oracle Data Integrator documents provided by Oracle, we need to have Internal Identifiers (IDs) for each and every export and import. And while importing the work repository, we have to delete the old one and then import the new one.Is there a way where we can use the existing identifier and just append the changes?
    Do we have any better way of deploying the ODI artifacts across Dev,UAT,Prod instances that would import the artifacts and also import the changes to the existing artifacts?
    Any kind of information related to deployement is higly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,

    For ODI specific questions please post to ODI Forum at Data Integrator
    Hope this helps

    Hi,
    Dear lavaprasadkafle,
    Size and size on disk usually differs
    The Size is the real size of the file,
    The file system stores data in clusters of certain size (Usually 4k bytes in NTFS, 8k or 16k in FAT32), so if you have a file with size 250 bytes on NTFS 4k, Size on disk will be 4 k (4096 bytes), with FAT32 at cluster size 16, the size on disk will be 16384 bytes!
    For the file you mentioned, I guess that it is stored on FAT32 partition with 16k cluster size, just calculate it as previously done, you will find where 11889 bytes came from.
    On the other hand, to make sure that the zip file is downloaded correctly, just open and test it with any archive tool that have test. or you can use MD5 or any other hashing check.
    Regards

  • 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.

  • Not able to generate DDL on new install of OEM Grid Control 10.2.0.5

    I upgraded grid control to 10.2.0.5 and can not get it to generate DDL.
    I click generate ddl and get the basic message 'Generate DDL has been submitted successfully. It could take a while to complete if the baseline version contains a large number of objects.'
    And it says that it is being generated in the DDL column but if you either let it sit there or click the refresh button, it will say Not Generated.
    Has anyone come across this and found a solution?
    This is on windows.

    Try this on your versionof 10.2.0.5:
    On the Dictionary Baseline Objects page,
    1. Select all the objects in Non-Schema Object Types
    2. Select objects types and the schemas to include     
    3. Select all the objects in Object Types
    4. Add your schemas
    This will succesfullly run.
    Now click on the Generated DDL and it will initially say 'Being Generated' in the DDL column.
    Either let it sit there or click the Refresh button and the status in the DDL column is now 'Not Generated'.
