Management pack license question

is all the management packs require license to use?
I see in the grid licensing page:
"Some premium functionality contained within this release of Enterprise Manager requires a separate Oracle license"
How do you know which needs license?
specifically, I am looking at using Service Level Management Pack. Is this free with grid or it needs a separate license from Oracle?
Thanks.

Hi,
When you login to OEM,In the left bottom corner of your home page you can see a link "About Oracle Enterprise Manager",click on tht (+) sign and then it will show the details of mgmt packs.
Click on any of those mgmt pack name and u will get licensing info.
Thanks...

Diagnostics Pack License Question

How do I know if I am authorized to use diagnostics pack of OEM? Is there any way to stop people from using AWR or addm thru command line?
Thanks
DP

Check you licensing agreement to see if you licensed the diagnostics pack. If you did not make the purchase, you might need to talk either to your purchasing department or call you Oracle sales representative.
You can turn off access to the diagnostic pack as well as other packs through OEM on the Set up page. Click the Management Pack Access link to disable the pack(s) per database.

Management Pack Contents Question

Hello,
I have recently became the owner of our SCSM 2012 R2 environment and the previous admin was all over the place with putting things in seemingly random management packs. I am in the process of cleaning things up but at the same time I am afraid of removing
a management pack in case there is some "grenade" in it.
Is there an easy way to list or determine what is in each management pack? Maybe a series of powershell scripts? I have been searching on the internet for an answer and trying out a few commands myself but nothing seems to be what I am looking
for.
Thank you in advance.

Personally, I just look at the XML in the sql database.
select MPName, convert(xml,mpxml) from Managementpack with(nolock)
I'll assume your previous admin put things in unsealed MPs via the console.
In my opinion, the only grenade would be classes or relationships defined in the MP. Other than that, generally you can remove an MP and simply re-import it with no ill effects. Classes and relationships, when their MP is removed, also remove any data defined
in those classes/relationships. So, those are the ones to watch out for.
Unsealed MPs cannot be referenced by other MPs, so again, generally, the only affect removing an unsealed MP can have is removing stuff defined in that unsealed MP..which can be things like templates, views, console tasks, worfklow rules, notification subscriptions,
etc. So while some functionality may be removed (like a view is suddenly missing), re-importing the MP will put the view right back where it came from.
Anyway, I don't know of any simple powershell scripts to get a management pack's manifest (like: How many views are in this MP?), but I would look through your XML and catalog the views, templates, custom console tasks, custom workflows (which include notification
subscriptions) and groups&queues (which include custom classes). Then you can start eliminating the unnecessary stuff.
Incidentally, if you're simply trying to clean-up stuff that was created in the console, I recommend removing that stuff using the console..that way you won't have to deal with MPs at all. For example, if you want to get rid of a view that your previous
admin created, simply go to the view and run the "Delete View" task. You can do the same for templates, notification subscriptions, workflows, etc etc.
I apologize for rambling on quite a bit longer than was necessary :)

Famiy Pack Licensing Question w/Sale of Computer

I am planning on purchasing the Tiger Family Pack and installing the OS on our desktop and portable computers.
How I will proceed when I go to sell the iBook?
Can I keep the OS on the iBook for the new owner?
If so, may I provide them with a copy of install disc?
I will only install Tiger onto my iMac and iBook, so three licenses will remain but I'm confused if I can transfer the license on the iBook to the new owner.
iBook G4, iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hello Stephanie.
The following was copied from the Tiger Family Pack license agreement.
Family Pack Software License Agreement allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-labeled computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that same household. By "household" we mean a person or persons who share the same housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home or condominium, but shall also extend to student members who are primary residents of that household but residing at a separate on-campus location. This license does not extend to business or commercial users.
I don' believe you are able (legally) to transfer a copy of Tiger from a Family Pack DVD to someone else even if you didn't install Tiger on 5 different Macs in your "household" as defined by Apple.
If you decide to sell your iBook, you should reformat the hard drive and reinstall the OS from the install package that shipped with and was pre-installed on the iBook.
If you purchased a Tiger single user copy/license, you could include the Tiger install DVD with the sale at an additional cost since Tiger was not pre-installed on the iBook.

Coherence Management Pack questions

Hi all,
I'm attempting to setup the Coherence Management Pack for OEM12c integration but have a few questions on which I can seem to get clear answers. My understanding is that there needs to be a node setup as a JMX monitoring node for the Coherence Management Pack to function. Based on my research this should ideally be a separate node used just for JMX monitoring and not used as a data cache node. So my questions are:
1. Does this separate node used just for JMX monitoring require a Coherence license?
2. Is this node a single point of failure (SPOF) whereby if it goes offline then Coherence monitoring also goes offline?
3. What is the thinking/recommendation for using this single node as the JMX monitoring node for multiple environments, i.e. DEV, TST, QUA, and PRD?
I appreciate any assistance.
Thanks.

Hi,
It is included in the OEM 11g installation and there is no seperate software/binaries required for Coherence Management Pack.
Cheers,
NJ

A question regarding Management pack dependency.

Hi All,
I am new to SCOM, I have a question regarding management pack dependency.
My question is, Is Dependency is required when New alerts are created in a unsealed MP and the object class selected during alert creation is (i.e Windows server 2012 full operating system) and it is on a Sealed management pack ?
For example i have a Sealed Windows server 2012 monitoring management pack.
I have made a custom one, for windows server 2012, So if it the custom is not dependent on the sealed Windows server 2012 monitoring management pack, Then cant i create any alerts in the custom management pack targeting the class Windows server
2012 full operating system ?

Hi CyrAz,
Thank you for the reply. Now if your's and my understanding is the same, Then look at the below what happened.
I created a Alert monitor targeting a Windows Server 2012 class in my custom management pack which
is not dependent on the Windows server 2012 management pack, But how was i successfully able to create them when the dependency is not there at all, If our understanding is same, then there must be an Error thrown while creating the monitor its self right
? But how was SCOM able to create that ?
Look at the below screenshot.
I was able to create a monitor targeting Windows server 2012 Full operating system and create a alert on the custom management pack which is not at all dependent
on the Windows server 2012 Sealed MP.
Look at the dependency of the management pack where i do not have the Windows server 2012 management as my custom management is not dependent on that.
Then how come this is possible ?

Does Application Management Pack (for E-Business) need a separate license?

Hi, I am licensed for Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Release 1 Grid Control 11.1.0.1.0.
Now I want to add Application Management Pack for E-Business R11i and R12. Do I need to purchase a new license?
From my existing installation there is a link About OEM -> ... License Information; I don't see any entry for E-Business Suite management.
Thanks,

Yes, you need to license Application Management Suite for E-Business Suite to cover the EBS management functionality. In both EM 11g and EM 12c, you need to download the plug-in for EBS. In the case of EM 12c, you can simply use the self-update feature to quickly get the EBS plug-in. For 11g, you will have to get it via e-Delivery.
Here is the OTN home page for packaged application management where you can find details and self-running demos of the EBS management functionality:

Questions on Oracle Management Packs

1. What is the difference between MANAGEMENT PACK and CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT PACK (Oracle versions 10g & 11g)
2. If one uses CONFIGURATION must one also use MANAGEMENT?
3. Is there a view that tells if either of these are actually being used? (No, I dont mean using the capability in Grid Control/EM to turn them on or off)

5. Do Extent also span files(ORA files) i.e. 'Table can span across ORA files' whether it means part of a Extent may present in one Data file and other part in another data file.
A table Extents can span into multiple datafiles. But, a single extent can't span into multiple datafiles.
4. How are Bitmap used to track used and Free space in Locally managed TablespacesA Locally Managed Tablespace is a tablespace that manages its own extents maintaining a bitmap in each datafile to keep track of the free or used status of blocks in that datafile. Each bit in the bitmap corresponds to a block or a group of blocks. When the extents are allocated or freed for reuse, Oracle changes the bitmap values to show the new status of the blocks. These changes do not generate rollback information because they do not update tables in the data dictionary (except for tablespace quota information), unlike the default method of Dictionary - Managed Tablespaces.
** Reduced recursive space management
** Reduced contention on data dictionary tables
** No rollback generated
** No coalescing required
3. How many blocks will form a Extent. Is it configurable ?, Where we need to configure whether we need specify it in Storage Parameters or in some configuration files?

AD Management Pack question again

Hi everybody!
Guide instruction presented with AD MP says about installing agent on
ALL Domain controllers. But there is one "but"....In my situation there are several domains in one forest (one parent and two subdomains). My management group there is in one of subdomains. Do i have to install agents to other domains....?
In guide says nothing about it(((

Hi,
The ADMP supports the monitoring of forests in addition to the forest where Operations Manager and the management pack are installed. You can deploy agents to remote forests. The management pack will gather health and performance data for the remote forest
according to the view of the domain controller where the agent is installed.
For more information, please review the link below:

Disabling Management Packs automatically

Not sure if this is the right place but after a duplicate with RMAN I have to recreate the EM repository with emca. Everything is fine and fully automated except I have to disable all features in the Management Pack Access manually while control_management_pack_access is set to NONE. I find it very annoying I selected SE One during installation and everytime I do a duplicate I have to disable the features again. Can this be automated? I read about CHOPT but from what I understand the database has to be closed. Isn't there another way?
Another question, is it really necessary to disable all features from the Management Pack Access when you only have a SE One license? It's not like I am using those features.

The control_management_pack_access parameter is dynamic and you can set to NONE to turn off the featuers.
If you are not using the features, still you have to disable the management packs.
refer below link for features availability by edition.

V$active_session_history and Diagnostic pack licensing

Do I trigger the Diagnostic pack license if I do a select against v$active_session_history?
I know to disable the packs in enterprise manager so that users cannot accidently active the licesne by clicking on the performance tab, but I would really like to know if the license is activated in some way by doing a simple select.
If not then I can do all sorts of scripting goodies without the diagnostic pack!

Yes, I agree with your logic, but I do not think it answered the question...
Does a SELECT within sqlplus against this view require a license? That is what I want to verify. Maybe Oracle only requires that I buy a license if I use EM where all of the stats (sql queries) are 'pre-built'. As long as I do not use EM and do not use the pretty graphs and easy to use interface, maybe they do not then have a requirement to purchase a license?

Installing Enterprise Manager Packs

This may be a very silly question, but I am pulling my hair out trying to install the Oracle Diagnostic Pack and Oracle Tuning Pack at 10.2.
I have a full set of 10.2 CDs/DVDs, and according to Oracle (via Metalink) the EM packs are included. But I can't find out where/which disc/how to install etc.
I have install the full database, companion products, client etc but still no Tuning Pack discovered...
Thanks for any help.

Assuming you have a license for the pack, you should enable access to the pack (it should be enabled by default) under the Setup link. Check Accessing Management Packs. You also may want to review ORACLE TUNING PACK whitepaper.

Error showing while adding a management pack to 2007R2 authoring console

Hi Every one,
While trying to add an unsealed management pack to 2007 authoring console we are getting error
XSD Verification failed for management pack[line: 1, "color:#222222;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;">
system.xml.schema.xmlschemavalidationException:The schemaversion atribute is not declared
any help will be thank full
Regards,
Nikhil

The Authoring Console has not been updated and does not understand the OpsMgr 2007R2 MP Schema version. It can still be used to produce MP that will work on OpsMgr 2007 R2, but you need to reference the old versions of the libraries.

How to manage your environments, going from Development (DEV) to Production (PRD) with Management Packs.

I am looking for a way to go from the development (DEV) environment to the production (PRD) environment in a controlled manner.
As I do not want to manually click around with a walk-through screen-shots document = error prone.
As I read these articles
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh519659.aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/antoni/archive/2013/10/09/system-center-service-manager-operations-manager-management-pack-and-naming-convention-best-practices.aspx

http://www.netiviaconsulting.com/2012/05/10/staying-organized-with-scsm-beware-of-the-management-pack-jungle/
I still have some questions:
1. Can all MPs (un-sealed) be exported from DEV and imported to PRD without breaking things?
2. Are there any known pitfalls?
3. Do you have some tips on this matter? In other words, how do you manage this?
Regards,
Erik

Alex is spot-on. Most MPs are environment/management group independent.
But some MPs contain what I call "Environment Specific Variables". In my experience, ESVs are in:
1) Templates (such as the runbook guids)
2) Criteria blocks (like view criteria, and rule criteria)
3) Parameters (such as write action parameters, and console task parameters)
Alex already gave an example of a template ESV.
An example of a Criteria ESV might be some view that you developed that returns objects that have a specific set of values in your dev environment, but may be different for your prod environment. ie: You have a view whose criteria looks afor a specific business
service ServiceId property. Let's say "Business Service X". But "Business Service X" has a different ServiceId in your dev environment than in your prod environment. So, every time you import your view MP from dev to prod, you have to remember to change your
criteria.
A quick Parameter ESV example; you have a notification subscription (a rule+writeaction). In Dev, you've hardcoded the notification recipient to be yourself. In Prod, the recipient has to be your boss. So, every time you import your MP from Dev to Prod,
you have to remember to change the recipient parameter in the subscription's writeaction.
Like Alex said, handling ESVs by hand is error-prone and time consuming.
Alex, when you write that utility, you should make it more robust. Within an MP, allow a user to pick and configure
any ESV. Store that configuration. Then, just run the MP through the utility and have it automatically set all the configured ESVs to the appropriate environment specific value :) (It's been something I've wanted to write into TFS for
a while, but I never take the time to do it ;) ) If an ESV is missing (because it was removed or changed in such a way that it no longer resembles the configured ESV), throw a warning during conversion.
