License policy for separate Repository database

Oracle App Server includes Oracle Database to store repository. It annonce that this database does not require separate license intil it used only as repository.
On the other hand there is concurency between database and application server,
thus for high perfomance solutions this repository database has to be moved from Oracle Application server to separate server
(the new database creating and uploading Repository schemas).
How do you think this new database, does it require the separate license?
If require should it be App Server License or RDBMS license?
The same situation with WebCache module of Application Server. If I move it on the separate server, should I pay a separate license?
Does anybody knows?

Apps server licenses do have many gotchas.
Oracle App Server includes Oracle Database to store repository. It announce that this database does not require separate license intil it used only as repository.

If require should it be App Server License or RDBMS license?
Apps server infrastructure server - This is the part of the application server that contains the need for a Oracle database server. It is used for the meta data repository.
A part from the Toplink ed all Application server licenses include the following restricted use license +"The Oracle Database is provided for use with iAS Infrastructure for storing product metadata. Storing any other data in the Oracle9iAS Infrastructure database requires a full use license of the Oracle Database. "+ Thus you do not need a separate database license.
N.B. However moving the database to a shared oracle databases server will require a license as you are not allowed to mix the different types of licenses on the same server.
Thus I would recommend you use a infrastructure server with Apps server infrastructure and database unless you go for ultra high availability which requires RAC meta database repository and primary and secondary infra server.
However that is a totally different can of worms when it comes to licensing.
Remember that your infrastructure server requires a App server license. Just which one depends on what you are doing.
If you give more details I can offer advice. Will need to know server and apps component info.
The same situation with WebCache module of Application Server. If I move it on the separate server, should I pay a separate license?
WebCache is a product that would be nice to split onto a separate server BUT Oracle AS license scheme does not make it cost effective. A point i have been making to Oracle for years :0 .
WebCache servers require their own App server license.
Just what license is again down to what you are using it for.
Does anybody knows?
Well I hope from my answer you may have guessed I get asked a lot of questions about licenses but that is why we have architects and OSC.
Thus I think I can say I know but may be someone from Oracle Business Continuity in your home country should have given you the answers also. If you can ever contact them ;-).
Good Luck

Grid Control 10.2.0.5 patchset fails for 11g repository database

Installing GridControl 10.2.0.5 on Windows 2003 Server SP2. Initial install successful of 10.2.0.2 using existing database 11.1.0.7. The database was created new to use for GC. Patchset no problems until Configuration Assitant step "Repository Upgrade" failed with errors:

Tried to find cause of errors and cannot seem to understand why this step failed.
Considering uninstalling GC and Oracle 11g and reinstalling GC with "new database" option.
Anyone successful at installing GC 10.2.0.5 with an 11g database?
Thank you,

10.2.0.5 Database is in extended support. Make sure to purchase the licensing.
You need to download the software by logging an SR with Oracle support to get delivered as DVD or through e-delivery.
But I would suggest you to upgrade to 11.2.0.3.
Upgrading 10g Grid Control repository database is doing a normal database upgrade.

Changing policy for separate devices for the user

Hi everyone,
I have 4 devices connected on an active sync (Exchange 2010) for 1 user. But 1 device is not going through due to policy as I understand(please see pictures attached). Is there away to assign a different policy just to that device ?

I believe you can only set active sync policy's at the mailbox level. You may have to create a new policy and tie it to that user.

Is a DB license required for EM 10G repository database?

We purchasedOEM10G Grid Control. We're planning to deploy OMS and Repository on a standalone Linux box (which has no other RDBMS running on it), while agents will be spread accross other target Unix boxes. OEM10G comes with a repository database. Do we need a separate license for this repository database on Linux? Can not locate the answer on Oracle Home site.

My impression from what I have read in the manuals is you can run the OMS and repository on a seperate machine and not pay license (RDBMS or Grid Control) for it. You will be paying Grid Control license for all the monitored machines where you have your business applications running. Talk to you sales rep before you proceed because my interpretations will not protect you when Oracle comes after you for more money.

Recovery option for repository database

Thanks,

License terms for Oracle SQL client

Hi,
Is Oracle SQL client free of charge ?
if not, what is the license policy for this small application ?
thanks a lot,
Al.

What you mean 3 licenses for 8.1.7 ?
I don't think you can only buy 3 named user license for Oracle DB server.
Oracle client <> SQL*plus
SQLpus is only one of the utilities that included in Oracle client package.
If you have concurrent user license, you can install as many Oracle client you want but any given time only 3 concurrent session can connect to database.
When you download the Oracle client from Oracle website, there's full Term and Agreement you need to accept before proceed.

Business Object License Policy

Hi Gurus,
I would appreciate if you could provide understanding about license policy for following Business Object products.
Business Objects Edge
Business Objects Enterprise
do we need to buy license per user base or per cpu base or both? Is there any unlimited user type license available?
Does Xcelsius has different user/cpu license policy?
How does SAP monitor license use of Business objects compare to SAP Products?
Thanks,
Digesh Joshi

I'm not sure about SAP but on the BO side you purchase a license key. There are4 3 key types that I am aware of.
1) CPU license which offers unlimited users
2) named user license where you can have unlimited concurrent users but only a fixed amount of username in the system
3) Concurrent access license where you can unlimited users but only a fixed amount can login to the server at a given time.
BOE supports primarily 1 and 2, Edge and Crystal reports server support primarily 2 and 3
Clients have a seperate license key for each client (xcelsius CR, etc). You should speak to your account rep as I have heard that the rules differ depending on region (different licensing packages, etc)

Install GC Agent on host with GC repository database.

Hello,
I have a couple questions about setting up a Grid Control environment. We are doing a proof of concept for grid control. We currently have two linux servers, one for the repository database (11gR2), and one for the Grid Control/OMS(10gR5).
My question is can we install the GC Agent on the repository database server?
I would like to monitor the repository database server and the repository database itself, but is that possible?
I tried installing the agent on the repository db server and I thought it was a success, but when I run emctl agent status I get the following:
EM Configuration issue. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/phxoemdb.revenue.int_GRIDDB not found.
Should I use emca and configure the database? I'm worried it will mess with the Grid Control Repository tables.

Well, now that the post is active again, let me respond:
My question is can we install the GC Agent on the repository database server?There is already (or should be) a "Central Agent" on the OMS server. If the EM repository database is on a different server from the OMS, then you do need to install a regular agent.
I would like to monitor the repository database server and the repository database itself, but is that possible?This is definitely possible as long as there is an agent on the server, either the central agent or regular agent like on any other server.
I tried installing the agent on the repository db server and I thought it was a success, but when I run emctl agent status I get the following:If OMS is executing on the same server as the repository database, then there is already a central agent. Each component has it's own Oracle Home, maybe you are trying to execute the commands from a different home. You need to set the correct environment for each component when executing command related to that component.

Upgrading 12c repository database

Hi All,
I have a oem12c installation(12.1.0.2),using 11.2.0.2 database as repository.
Platform Solaris-10
I am planning to upgrade the database 11.2.0.3.
Checked in MOS to see if there are any special pre/post steps for EM repository database,but no luck...
Is it like any other database upgrade? or do we need to do any special steps for OMS/plugins/mgmt packs etc?
Thanks in advance...

Its just like any other database upgrade. Do take backup of whole database before you start the DB upgrade.

Database for OEM repository

Hi All,
Greetings...
I have a question.
Can it be possible to use Oracle XE for OEM repository and what about other editions like Standard also can be used?
Please help me to conclude my requirement for an Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 3 (12.1.0.3) installation on winx64.
regards,
Noushad

If you are looking to purchase Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c it requires an Oracle database for the repository which would be included in the license so you do not need to worry about the database version. Note if you were to use the the repository database for something other then the OEM repository this would require a database license.
You can confirm this information with your Oracle Rep or review the OEM license information.

Can anyone give me the steps for moving the repository databases in 9.3.0?

We are in the 9.3.0 environment and I need to move the four repository databases for essbase, biplus and webanalysis/workspace to a new machine. I tested moving the databases and rerunning the config util, but I lost my sample reports I created earlier. Does anyone have a step by step procedure for moving the repositories?
Thanks,
-C.

If you are moving reports why don't you bulk export them from workspace and then import them into your target.
Are you talking about migrating the repository across different shared services environments, if so then I doubt you will have much luck with trying to migrate the workspace repository as it pretty tied in with shared services.
Cheers

No report Builder 3.0 is just the client side light-weight component to work with published reports & does not need any specific license however the server over which the reports are published (Eventually) must be appropriately licensed
