How do you register an agent of on 11.2 DB to run remote jobs on another ?

There are examples available showing how to install a remote agent on a host that doesnt have an Oracle database (using the gateway CD in 11.1 or the Oracle Client in 11.2) and from reading the documentation, it suggests you only need to install the remote agent if there is not an Oracle database on the host. If I have two Oracle databases and want to run remote jobs from DBMS_SCHEDULER on host A against data on host B, how can i register the agent as i cant find any examples that do this.
With the remote agent installed, there are schagent either in unix or windows but i cant find this in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin of an 11.2 Enterprise install. I've run the prvtrsch.sql script as SYS and it's created the REMOTE_SCHEDULER_AGENT user and objects (which i think might be the equivalent of running schagent on the remote client) but then when i want to register the agent on the calling Oracle database, i dont know what the agent name is to specify in the CREATE_SCHEDULER_DESTINATION call.
I've added the TNS entries for both directions but just dont have enough information to find the missing bit that lets me connect them.
Any help appreciated, or just some pointer to know if I am in the right direction would be great
Thanks

Hi Ronald
I have your book which has been very useful in other areas I have been investigating on DBMS_SCHEDULER ( I certainly recommend it to anyone doing any serious work on DBMS_SCHEDULER) but it's not in there either - I've read the chapter ''Getting out of the database' several times and whilst it goes into great detail on how to install the remote agent on a machine without a database, I could only find a brief mention of running an agent in the database starting on page 113 where it talks about 'preparing the database for remote agent usage'.
I've done these things on the second database but the later part of the chapter is back to running jobs on a machine without Oracle installed and use of schagent which doesn't exist in in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin on a machine that has Oracle installed so I am stuck on how to proceed.
You also mention the enhancement request so would be interested to know what happened with this ?
The first thing that comes to my mind when a registration has been done is: "How
can I check this?" Unfortunately, there appears to be no way to check the status of the
agent's registration—not even in the database. It would be very convenient to have
an Oracle view that gives an oversight of which agents are talking with the database.
I filed an enhancement request (7462577) for this. So with a little luck, we can check
the status of remote agents in the near future.
I figure if I have the name of the agent, I can use it in the CREATE_DATABASE_DESTINATION call on my calling database but I cant find the name anywhere. In SQL Developer on the SQL table of create destination, it shows this as being SYS."" and inserts whatever you select from a dropdown list but I don't know how to get any values into the dropdown so possibly the registration wasn't complete but it has created the database objects in the schema and I got no errors when running it.
Any advise on how to proceed welcome and perhaps it can be added as an addition to the next version of the book.
Regards
Trevor

  • How do you register your education edition of lightroom

    I have a Mac without a DVD.  I purchased the lightroom DVD education copy but ended up downloading a 30 day trial.  The trial period is coming to an end and I need to complete the task of registering the education copy and inputting the product code.  How do I register the education copy and input the product code?

    When I purchased my academic edition, there was a yellow card inside the box with instructions for submitting the information required to receive the serial number. Basically, you need to submit an academic e-mail address and academic picture ID. The link to where to submit that information was on the yellow card. After I submitted the information the serial number was sent to me within about 5 min.

  • How do you register CUWL?

    doing the first CUWL install/conversion, I have registered the CM, but where do I register the 3-year UCSS to? The MAC of the publisher or the Unity or the Contact Center box?
    Does anybody have a FIELD guide to CUWL? all I can find is documentation on how to sell it, not integrate it.

    You will get a plastic box in the mail with each products PAK key in the box and software. You register the PAK key like you normally would through the https://tools.cisco.com/SWIFT/Licensing/PrivateRegistrationServlet
    Enter the PAK and the MAC address for your server (unity, CUCM, etc)

  • How do you register a servlet on 8i?

    I am so new at this. How do you go about registering a servlet
    on 8i? We have iFS 1.1 running on a Linux box with Oracle 8i.
    In the 9iFS developer's guide there are instructions on how to
    register a servlet. They don't work for 8i and I can't find any
    instructions for registering servlets for 8i.
    Thanks for the help.

    If you are using Java Web Server in Oracle8i, this technical
    brief describe how to register a servlet.
    http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/ifs/htdocs/xsl/index.h
    tm
    See the section Configure the Java Web Server to Run the Servlet.
    Apache will have a different way of registration.

  • How do you register iLife software that came preloaded on an iMac (I cannot seem to locate the Marketing Part Number) on the DVD?

    I just purchased an iMac with iLife and iWork preloaded.
    I wanted to register the software, but I cannot seem to locate the Marketing Part Number (MPN).  Help states the MPN is located on the product packaging near the barcode.  I can locate the barcode on the sleeve of the disc, but the MPN does not seem to be there.  Help states it starts with a letter and has the format M#####/#.  I have tried to enter each set of numbers shown, but all are invalid.

    You registered it when you registered the computer. Apple software bundled with a Mac can't be registered separately from it; that service is for standalone purchases only.

  • How do you remove camera icon on lock screen on iPhone 5 running iOS 7

    How do you remove camera icon on iPhone 5 running iOS 7

    I was on a long call. I locked the phone and slipped it in my pocket. Apparently the lock screen camera had activated though it had not taken any shots . The result was post my 40 odd minute call when I pulled the phone out to disconnect I discovered the camera was active and phone was hot and battery had reduced for 92% to around 50%. This seems a serious flaw in design...
