Intelligent Agent and TCL7.5

Hello, following the Oracle8i release notes I've compiled and
installed TCL7.5 for use with the Oracle Intelligent Agent.
Once libtcl7.5.a is built and copied to the
$ORACLE_HOME/network/lib directory, can the rest of the
installation in /usr/local be deleted? I have 8.0 already
installed and have no use for 7.5 other than for Oracle.
Thanks,

Yes, all that Oracle needs is the library to link in.

Ports used for Intelligent agent and snmp master agent

I could not find any documentation regarding which ports are used for communication between master and intelligent
agent. Moreover which port has to be mentioned if I use snmpget for the master agent. Please let me also know if I use a
management platform like CA-Unicenter with which port I have to send the traps and where to configure.
Thanks

8.1.7 Intelligent Agent on Redhat Linux 6.2

Hello,
Can anyone help?
My OEM fails to discover a Redhat Linux node but I can manually configure it (so the node address must be OK). When I check that the agent is running (lsnrctl dbsnmp_agent) it says that the db subagent is already running. If there is something obvious, I've probably missed it because I'm relatively new to both Oracle and Linux/Unix. Any clues, please?

I found this reply on Oracle Metalink and it worked for me (looks like agent on Linux for some reason does not use default ports:
On IA nodes, edit the snmp_rw.ora file and add the following lines :
DBSNMP.ADDRESS = (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<ip-address>)(PORT=1748))
DBSNMP.SPAWNADDRESS = (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<ip-address>)(PORT=
1754))
where <ip-address> is the IP-Address of the node to be discovered.
Note: ports 1748/1754 must be open for the OMS to communicate with the Agent.
The OMS starts communication on ports 1748 and 1754 to get the discovery
information from the Intelligent Agent.
The ports 1748 and 1754 are dedicated for the Intelligent Agent, and should
not be used by any other program.
Ports used by the Intelligent Agent:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
During the discovery phase, the Communication Daemon OMS
will contact the Intelligent Agent via the ports 1748 and 1754 and retrieve
the discovery information.
Port 1748 is used for the basic communication, while the port 1754 is
used for file transfer. The communication is always initiated from the
Communication Daemon or OMS towards the Intelligent Agent.
The ports are hardcoded in the Intelligent Agent and should not be altered
in any way. The ports are referenced in the snmp_rw.ora file as:
dbsnmp.address=(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=somehostname)(port=1748))
dbsnmp.spawnaddress=(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=somehostname)(port=1754))
The meaning of the dbsnmp.address and dbsnmp.spawnaddress are solely to
determine the resolution path for the Enterprise Manager framework to get
in touch with the Intelligent Agent, and should not be used to specify
other ports.

Linux Intelligent Agent - OEM cannot discover node

Hi,
I have a Linux AS 2.1 Server with a Oracle 9.2.0.1 Database running. I have 2 Oracle Management Servers ... one is running on this running on the Linux AS 2.1 Server and another on Solaris 9i.
When start the OEM on the Linux Server and try to discover the Databases on the Linux Server themselves then everything goes fine. When I am trying to discover the databases on the Linux Server from the OEM running in Solaris it does not work.
The Solaris box has connection to the Linux Server and the repository for the Solaris OEM runs on the Linux Machine.
When I go back to the OEM on the Linux Machine then I can discover the Solaris box.
To come to a boddom line here: Whatever I do I am not able to discover the databases on the Linux AS Server besides from the OEM directly running on this box.
Is that a bug in the Linux Intelligent Agent ? If yes is there a Patch to fix that ? Or is there a work around.
Please let me know if you have any idea.
Thanks Marcus

Ok I figured it out .... the problem is/was the entry of the Loopback Interface entry in the etc hosts:
127.0.0.1 dbserver localhost.localdomain localhost
The Intelligent Agent listens to the Loopback Interface now. All incoming requests from and OMS will of course get a timeout because the IP address of the server is 10.1.0.10 .
You have 2 options now:
1. Change the entry in the /etc/hosts below to localhost and add an entry to the /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost
10.10.0.1 dbserver
Restart the Intelligent Agent and any OMS in your network should be able to discover the note.
2. In the snmp_rw.ora file you can bind the Intelligent Agent with the following entries to an specific hostname and/or port:
DBSNMP.HOSTNAME = <hostname or ip address>
DBSNMP.CS_BASE_PORT = <port number>
If you start up Agent now you will see in the nmiconf.log file error messages like that:
Warning: No Listener found for SID db01. db01 will be skipped
Warning : No Listener found for SID db02. db02 will be skipped
Warning : No Listener found for SID db03. db03 will be skipped
Warning : No Listener found for SID omsrep. omsrep will be skipped
This is because the Agent looks up in the tnsnames.ora file or whatever you name resolution is and finds the connect descriptors still withe the old name. So all entries in the tnsnames.ora file have to be changed.

Oracle intelligent agent executable has encountered a problem and needs to

Hi All,
I am getting the following message after commence of OS (windows XP) on my LAPTOP.
"Oracle Intelligent Agent Executable has Encountered a Problem and needs to close."
due to the above problem it takes time to be fit to start working. that is; when i start my laptop then it gets ready very shortly but just later on it is seen that my laptop gets to be hanged. it seems that some background process runs and during this time nothing can be done on my laptop (even REFRESH - F5 doesn't respond). then after some time the above message comes. this process seems to be very much annoying.
there is a small Oracle database (9i) in my laptop along with Oracle developer (10g).
Thanks in advance.

Hi Tapash,
You probably don't want/need that service to run anyway. So go to your control panel/Adminstrative Tools/Services
and set Start Type to Manual for Oracle<ORACLE_HOME_NAME>Agent service

Oracle Intelligent Agent Exe encountered a problem and needed to close

Whenever the server is rebooted I get the error "Oracle Intelligent Agent Executable encountered a problem and needed to close". The agent won't start, and I found a work around that included deleting files from the network/agent and admin folders, then restarting the agent. This works, however the next time the server reboots I have to go through all of this again. Any ideas why this keeps occurring?
Also, what does this agent do? I've read through some documentation and can't quite tell if I actually need it started. Do you use this agent to only remotely monitor/administer through OEM? I'm really confused and could use some insight. All my process appear to be working fine.

Because of the error message I guess you are on Windows and database version is lower than 10g (by the way it's always a good idea to tell the environment, because Oracle runs on different platforms in different versions).
... 'encountered a problem and needed to close' is generic Windows error message with millions of possible reasons. So it's not possible to find remotely a solution. You are right, Intelligent Agent is a counterpart of OEM, but outside production environments rarely needed. I recommend you change the service properties from 'automatic' to 'manual' in control panel. So it does not start at reboot time.

Intelligent Agent 8.1.6 and Enterprise Manager 8.1.7

I installed the Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Manager on Windows 2000 and want to connect to a database on a Dec-Unix system. My Problem: On the Unix-Server there is installed an 8.1.7 Database, but the 8.1.6 Intelligent Agent. Is it possible, and how can I get the information, wich Agent is running?
I think, I cannot connect with a never version of Enterprise Manager to an older Agent. Is this correct?

Manually starting Intelligent Agent Configuration Assistant and HTTP Listener

I have installed Oracle 9i on Solaris 8 and it stopped with an "Out of Memory" error during the Starter Database creation. I have fixed the memory problem and have now manually started the Database Configuration Assistant manually and managed to install a new database. Now I am trying to start the Intelligent Agent Configuration Assistant and the Apache HTTP Listener, but I cannot find out how to do this so that I can continue on with and complete the installation process from where I left off.
Do anyone know how to do this? I would appreciate any help that anyone can give.
Thanks
Anthony

Lets start with what product you are installing and why. An Oracle database installation, in and of itself, does not install an HTTP server.
Of course one might also wonder why you are, just now, installing software so old it is in desupport.

OMS and Intelligent Agent not seeing databases

I am running Oracle9i on a Solaris box and trying to set up OMS on a PC. I managed to get the intelligent agent started on the Solaris box but now when I do a node discovery, all that I can see is the HTTP servers and they say that they are stopped. How do I see the databases so I can schedule jobs on them?

If databases are not discovered, you could have a problem with any of the following files.
listener.ora
oratab ( UNIX/Linux)
Microsoft Registry (Windows)
1. Check the $ORACLE_HOME\network\agent\log\nmiconf.log for warnings or errors.
2. Verify the database sid exists in the listener.ora file. When the Agent parses the listener.ora, it looks for the "sid_list=...." section. If this section is missing, the Agent will not discover the database.
3. Verify the database sid exists in the oratab or Microsoft Registry. (In some cases, the sid is case sensitive.)
4. Stop and Restart the Agent. NOTE: This step is necessary because the Agent will only parse the files during startup.
5. Check the services.ora file and verify the Database services now exists in the file.
6. Refresh the Node through the EM Console.

OEM Repository and Intelligent Agent

How many OEM repository and Intelligent Agent do I need to have to schedule a unique job on three of the 4 databases I have?
Thanks,
Mirabelle

Problems installing TCL 7.5 and Oracle Intelligent Agent

All
Has anyone had any success in installing TCL 7.5 and Oracle
Intelligent Agent? If so could you please provide a step by step
summary of the installation process. I keep getting error
messages when I run gmake for TCL. I commented out the lines
specified in the instructions. Does one have to use TCL 7.5? I
even tried to run version 8.2 and it restarted my machine while
running gmake test. Maybe it is how I commented the lines. I
used the # character to comment out the lines. Please help. IFve
got everything else running I can even use Net8 and SQL plus
from my Windows NT Client. I now need to be able to use Oracle
Enterprise Manager, which requires TCL 7.5 and Oracle
Intelligent Agent.
Many thanks

Can Intelligent Agent 9i and 10g be up at the same time

Hello,
I have a 9i agent and want to install 10g agent so I can see with the newly install 10g Grid Control. Can 9i and 10g be running in the same box on different oracle_home. Thank you.

Yes.

Intelligent Agent: trouble starting it

Hi,
I've installed Oracle8 Enterprise Edition successfully on a
Debian Potato (glibc2.1) system.
Everything works just fine, except for the Intelligent Agent.
I first tried to start it with:
lsnrctl dbsnmp_start
The errormessage I received was:
DBSNMP Discovery Error: Couldn't read file "./oracle_olympia": no
such file or directory
I changed the reference to "./oracle_olympia" in the
$ORACLE_HOME/network/agent/config/nmiconf.lst file to
$ORACLE_HOME/network/agent/tcl/init.tcl (just a guess, is this a
correct thing to do?), but then it gave me the following:
DBSNMP Discovery Error: no library has been specified for Tcl
So I got myself tcl7.5 (I was running tcl8.1.1) and copied
libtcl7.5.a to $ORACLE_HOME/network/lib/
I even put that path into /etc/ld.so.conf and did an ldconfig.
Still the same error.
In the tracefile I get:
creating package index
-<ERROR>- failed to initialize init.tcl, error 1
-<ERROR>- Tcl result:
n: transport is open
Well, I'm out of stuff to try.
Anyone have an idea on what to do?

Hi again,
After some deeper research I managed to get the intelligent agent

Basicly the answer is to install the tcl8.0.2.so library.

Has Anyone gotten the Intelligent Agent to work???

I have Oracle installed and all is well except for a few minor
problems that I think the Intelligent Agent will solve. Has
anyone gotten this to work on RedHat 6.0 with Oracle
Enterprise Edition 8.0.5.1??? I was able to get it to work
under Oracle8 SE, but I need EE for the ConText Cartridge.
I have gotten to the point where I can get the dbsnmp process
running, but OEM cannot talk to it.
Please help

I'm having the same problem. Does anyone out there have a
solution?
I am running RedHat Linux 6.0 straight out of the box. The only
change I made was to set the kernel parameters according to the
release notes and recompile the kernel.
P.S. Oracle deserves our thanks for providing free developer
licenses to so many of its products, but this is the buggiest
install I've ever seen in my 12 years of working with their
products. Didn't anyone from Oracle test the install? This
problem and the zero length libnjni8.so file are the real
doozies.
I've followed the release notes and installation guide to the
letter and have found several documentation / distribution bugs
that should have leapt out at the first person who tried it.
