I have 8.1.6R2 running on RH6.2 fine except for the Intelligent agent (I have OEM 2.1)
I get the following error when I try to start the dbsnmp process
"error configuring n1 component, error=280.
the sid in my oratab file is ok.
Any Ideas on this???

Upgrading 9.2.0.6 intelligent agent

On my database of version 9.2.0.6, I believe the oracle intelligent agent there is same version -- 9.2.0.6.
What latest version can I upgrade the agent to? Or the only thing I can do next is to upgrade it to use of 10g Grid control?
I just want to clear my thoughts
Thanks

Hi,
Here are the Oracle docs on 10g upgrades:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db10g/homepage
Here are some other good notes:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/UpgradingTo10g.php
Also, there are many "gotchas" to consider, especially the change to optimizer costing in 10g:

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.

Intelligent Agent Won't Run - Please Help!

Hello,
I have been able to install Oracle 8.0.5 on both Redhat 5.3 and
Suse 6.1. Most everything seems to work correctly. I can connect
to the databases from client software.
But I can't get the Intelligent Agent to run in either case.
When I check on it's status after attempting to start it I get
the message "The DBSubAgent is not started".
What does this mean? What do I need to do in order to get the
Intelligent Agent to run?

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.

Oracle 8i Intelligent Agent Service problem

Hi!
We successfully installed Oracle 8i (8.1.7 ee) on Intel P-IV (Xeon) server running Windows 2000 Advanced server (Service Pack 2). It was working properly until now. There was no problem in implementing the tricks useful in installation. After that, database service "OracleService<DBName>" presented problem by not automatically starting on computer startup but it was tamed by "Oradim" command added to startup folder.
All was going smoothly for about a month now but when I rebooted the server PC yesterday, the service "Oracle<HomeName>Agent" failed to start. Along with it the DataGatherer and TNSListener services also failed (Only db service OracleService<DBName> starts but very very slowly). The Windows Event Viewer descriped the problme for Agent service as ,"The Oracle<HomeName>Agent service terminated with the following error: %%3221356551 ". The Event ID is always 7023 for this error. The rest of services just don't give any error codes. It is also stated that nothing has been installed/Uninstalled on this PC in the last several days and no configration changes, in tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora, listener.ora, win registry has been made. The TCP/IP configration are intact and NTFS folder and file rights are properly defined.
Starting the service using "Net Start <service_name>" also failed with the message,"System error 7 has occured, Storage control blocks will be destroyed".
Searching online, I also performed some steps in correcting the problem like backup and delete all *.q, snmp_ro.ora, snmp_rw.ora, services.ora files. But to no help. The log files in Oracle_Home\network\logs also dont record the problem even after setting the trace level to Admin or 16. The Agent service simply refuses to start...
Reinstalling Oracle (over existing one, not first removing it altogether. We simply cann't do this now for data loss!!!) or just the Intelligent Agent itsself using univeral installer also fails at the end when it tries to start the intellegent Agent Service Oracle<HomeName>Agent. This time the error described is "O/S error in starting service".
Is this something to do with Xeon server coz the same Oracle 8i is installed much before than this on another P-IV server (not xeon) running the same Op system and it never presented us this problem todate. Its also worth mentioning that this problem occured before as well, on the second day we installed Oracle 8i the first time on Xeon. Since there was no data then, we simply removed oracle, cleared registry and started all over again BUT now it cann't be done.
Any help shall be highly appreciated.
With Regards, Rashid.

Thanks for stopping by this thread. Problem has been resolved from another forum. Actually c:\oracle folder was accessable to administrator only, when I added 'Everyone' to the permission list as well, everything started fine. Allowing 'Everyone' to this folder is dangerous but its working for now :)

Intelligent Agent doesn't work

Hi dear colleagues,
I got a problem with the Intelligent Agent.
I installed Oracle 8i EE 8.1.5 and OEM 2.1 on Windows 2000 server. When I
try to discover the databases with OEM, OEM could only find the node, it could
not find any database. So I thought maybe the Agent got some problem. I
opened the log file nmiconf.log, the following is the message in it:
DBSNMP for 32-bit Windows: release 8.1.5 - Production on 13-MAY-02 20:04:18
Warning : Listener LISTENER defined in H:\Oracle\Ora81\network\admin\listener.ora will be skipped because, it does not have a corresponding NT service entry
Warning : Skipping OracleOraHome81TNSListener : Couldnot find corresponding listener definition in {H:\Oracle\Ora81\network\admin\listener.ora}
Warning : No Listener found for SID SIDDB1. SIDDB1 will be skipped
Warning : No Listener found for SID SIDDB3. SIDDB3 will be skipped
But I don't know where and how to create a NT service entry corresponding to
the listener LISTENER. Please help me!
Thanks!
Wendell

I think there is no problem with the intelligent agent. It seems to be a problem with your net8 configuration. I think the problem could be caused by several reasons:
1. Your listener is not configured properly: the listener.ora file should contain a valid service entry for the database (you can do this with the net8 assistant provided by oracle. Normally it should be installed by default)
2. The agent looks in the wrong listener.ora file for a service entry. So do you have more then one ORACLE_HOME and more the one listener.ora file on the node?
3. Do you have more then one network interface and are you working with more then one hostname alias? That could also cause a problem. It could be a solution to replace the hostname in the host=name part of the listener.ora file with the right!! IP adress. May be you have to test all the IP adresses of your node.

Oracle intelligent agent failure

Hi,
I am on windows 2000 server running Oracle 9i database and I cannot start the intelligent agent for database 9i it keeps giving the ,message that it is idle therefore was stopped. When I start it in dos it dumps the message belog in its log. I would like to use the OEM to manage my database but can't because the OMS cannot detect my nodes cos the agent is not running. Please assist.
The message
Service name is Oracleoracle9_HomeAgent
Failed while initializing Collection Service
Error initializing subsystems
Agent exited on with return value 55
Could not start agent. Initialization failure
Agent startup failed. Check F:\ora9i\network\log\Oracleoracle9_HomeAgent.nohup for details

Hi,
check for the time zone.
In my case it was solved when I was creating a system environment variable named TZ and choosed a valid content, see metalink for timezone problems:
nsupportedtzs.lst
supportedtzs.lst
in the sysman\admin should have a common denominator.

Oracle Intelligent agent in different oracle home

Hi All,
We have installed new agent (9.2.0.1) in different oracle home, as previous intelligent agent(in main oracle home(9.2.0.5) where database resides) was hanging, after that we are facing a new problem in discovering listener and database in OMS server.
We have setup the ORACLE_HOME variable to new oracle intelligent home (where we have started the agent now),and TNS_ADMIN variable to main oracle home(database resides) even then snmp_rw.ora and snmp_ro.ora files are not creating in the current oracle home.I followed the metalink notes, even then it couldn't help me.
From the OMs we can discover the node, but we cannot discover the listener and database, Can anyone help me in discovering the database and listener in the oms when we have two separate oracle homes.
This is kind of urgent, appreciate if anyone can answer it as soon as possible
Thanks,
Riah

Can any one help me please ?

Oracle Intelligent Agent Startup Error

Whenever I try to startup the Oracle Intelligent Agent on my DB server I get
the error:
could not open emtab at /var/opt/oracle/emtab.
I am using Oracle9iR2 and have installed the complete package. I did a
search of the HD and this file does not exists anywhere..which explains why
it was not found! does anyone know what I must do to resolve this problem?
can I just ignore this error???
Note: I only want to run the agent, the EM database is not installed on this machine but a seperate machine in another location.
Thanks in advance,
Steve,

No, just the 9i R2 database + EM, we don't use AS. Maybe I can just ignore this error?? Sometimes I notice oracle gives errors which are in fact just warnings or information. not very helpful as you never know. Not sure if I can ignore this or not.
Thanks,

Intelligent agent problem !!!

After issuing agentctl stop command agent stops with message: "Agent shutdown faild". In dbsnmp.log is message "Unable to connect to SNMP master agent". In dbsnmp.nohup nothing wrong. In nmiconf.log there is a massage "Could not open emtab at /var/opt/oracle/emtab (Files doesn't exist as I saw).

INTELLIGENT AGENT PROBLEM RECOVERY ON NT

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 1997-12-16
The Oracle Intelligent Agent 7.3.3 on NT is self-configuring and
requires TCP/IP fully configured on the NT system.
The Agent's startup algorithm:
When the agent is started, the startup process reads the LISTENER.ORA,
TNSNAMES.ORA and NT REGISTRY. It compares the values stored in each location.
If any discrepencies exist, the agent service will either not start
or service discovery will not occur.
Starting the Intelligent Agent:
1. Verify the Sqlnet configuration files are correct:
- All sid entries in the LISTENER.ORA must have valid TCP/IP service
descriptors defined in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
- The TNSNAMES.ORA should not contain service descriptors for local
sides not defined in the LISTENER.ORA file.
- TCP/IP must be fully configured on the system.
2. NT 4.0: Click on START->SETTINGS->CONTROL PANEL->SERVICES.
Highlight the service ORACLEAGENT. Click on the START button.
NT 3.51: Find the MAIN program group.
Click on CONTROL PANEL->SERVICES.
Highlight the service ORACLEAGENT. Click on the START button.
***NOTE: If the 7.3.3 agent will not start, verify the OEM version
is not 1.4.
If the version is 1.4, install the 8.0.3 Intelligent Agent.
Agent troubleshooting tips:
1. Verify TCP/IP is configured correctly.
- At a dos prompt, type HOSTNAME.
This is the actual configured TCP/IP HOSTNAME of the system.
- Verify the hostname resolved by the agent. The DBSNMP.ADDRESS
parameter in the ORANT/network/snmp_rw.ora contains this
information.
If the file does not contain the actual hostname, TCP/IP is not
properly configured on the system or the network.
2. Correcting TCP/IP configuration problems:
- Edit the WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and lmhosts files.
(*NOTE: If these files have never been used, only sample files will
exist in the directory. Either rename or copy the .sam files
to just the file name with no extention.)
- Follow the example below (replace the information in brackets
with the actual host information for that system.):
HOSTS file:
<122.111.111.111> <hostname>
LMHOSTS file:
<122.111.111.111. <netbios name or hostname> #PRE
- Delete the ORANT\network\agent\*.q and SERVICES.ORA files.
(*NOTE: The *.q files hold information about jobs and events.
Do not delete these files without first removing all jobs
and events registered against this agent.)
- Delete the $ORACLE_HOME\network\admin\SNMP_RO.ORA and
SNMP_RW.ORA files.
- Restart the agent at a DOS prompt:
NET START ORACLEAGENT
3. Check the NT EVENT VIEWER->APPLICATIONS->LOG for any errors
starting the DBSNMP process.
4. Check the ORANT/NETWORK/LOG/NMICONF.LOG file for other possible
errors.
5. If using NTFS, check permissions to the \orant\network directory
structure.

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.
