Manualy onfigure database with grid control

Hi All,
I am using EM grid control 10g r4 to monitor many of the 9i and 10g databases in the environment.
Need help in this scenario.
On a db server (10.2.0.2) I have grid control agent (10.2.0.4) installed and able to monitor databases on it.
Recently my colleague created a new database with ’local EM database control’ instead of using centralized grid control. In this case how can I manually configure this new database to point to EM grid control.
Please let me know
~Thanks

You can attempt a rediscovery from within Grid Control.
On the server where you want to discover the target database set the ORACLE_HOME to the agent home and then execute:
agentca -d
This should rediscover and find your database.

Dataguard creation with Grid Control

hi all
i'm trying to create a physical standby database with grid control. (asm to asm)
after setting various properties in the wizard, grid goes on creating a broker config and when it gets to the step "preparing standby database creation" it fails with "ERROR: invalid username and/or password."
no more info on where it fails.
preciate if anyone has any tips on what to check.

There's currently no way to monitor a whole SAP system through gridcontrol. Of course you can monitor the underlying database.

Naming database inside Grid Control

Hi,
I have one question about database names in Database tab of Grid Control.
What is happening:
I have static definition of my services in the listener.ora file, and when I have installed Grid Control Agent on this node
Oracle registers name like this in my databases tab of Grid Control:
DBNAME_HOSTNAME.DBDOMAIN
I want to register my database like dbname.dbdomain. Is it possible? Can I have any control of naming of databases in Grid Control?
When I haven’t static definition of services in my listener.ora file, database is good registrated (*dbname.dbdomain*).
Thanks,
Best regards
Dragan

Yes you have control of naming databases in Grid Control.
When you add a database target to grid control, after chosing the host you'll see the databases on that host. Under the databases there is an option: "Manually add" If you chose this option you can name the database target however you want. so you can delete the database target from grid, and add again with manual option...

Unable to connect to Database using Grid Control

Hi,
I am attempting to connect to my Oracle Linux Machine which has 2 databases FROM my 10g Grid control which is on a Windows XP 32 bit.
Although I can login to the actual linux box with the host and database credentials ; I cant use the same to login to the database using Grid control.
I have tried testing the connection using Grid Control >> Preferences >> Preferred Credentials >> Host ; but its just not recognizing the credentials as correct.
When I attempt to startup the database using the host and DB credentials : ERROR MESSAGE : <servername> : <servername> comes up.
My agent on linux box is up. My Listener is running fine.
On my Grid control .. i have the DB, OMS, and Agent running as well.
Any inputs on this issue, I'd appreciate very much.

Thanks for your reply.
Under Hosts on the Main Grid Console Home Page >> "server3.sam" Status shows UP. This server houses my 2 databases. But when I click on Databases >> it shows Instance DOWN.
Status
Failed
Details Failed to connect to database instance: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach).
I have verified that my lsnrctl status is good on the linux box. My target agent is up and running on it as well.
So I try to start the STARTUP button >> I enter the HOST Credentials of the Linux box and the Database credentials which I use "SYS" (in upper case - just in case that mattered) and choose SYSDBA ;
Error Message
server3.sam: server3.sam
I created a new dba account and try to login ... dont seem to work ; I tried using SYSTEM account and even altering my sys and system passwords .. all turn out negative.
And the ANSWER to your question ---> Grid Control >> Preferences >> Preferred Credentials >> Database Instance >> corresponding to my database name ; I enter my sysdba username / password AND the host username / password of my Linux box >> TEST >> which also turns out negative.
This entry is auto filled in since I "checked" the box "Save as Preferred Credential"; initially when I tried to start the DB using the STARTUP button.
By the way, my Win XP doesnt really have a password set under User accounts.
Any suggestions please ?

PeopleSoft 8.52 Plug-in Implementation Guide for use with Grid Control

Per the Readme accompanying the download of PeopleSoft 8.52 Plug-in for use with Grid Control (11.1.0.1)-- "For the implementation reference guide, refer to "PeopleSoft Enterprise Environment Management Plug-in 8.52 for Oracle Enterprise Manager Implementation Guide" which you can download from Oracle Technology Network."
I don't seem able to find it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

How to monitor Oracle Glassfish with Grid Control 11g

Hi,
Could someone tell me how can i monitor Oracle Glassfish with Grid Control 11g ?? i think i need a plug-in but i don't know where could i download it
I guess the information i can monitor depends on the plug-in :)
Regards
Carlos

Hi Carlos,
We do have partners that routinely write plug-ins to extend OEM. If you take a look at the EM Extensibility Exchange below, you will find various extensions that partners such as Blue Medora have written:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=34841:1:26399399216901:::::
Please keep in mind though that between SLM and JVM diagnostics, you would have a significant amount of visibility even without the Glassfish target.
Cheers,

Can Oracle Application Diagnostics for Java used with Grid Control 10.2.0.3

I have installed Grid Control 10.2.0.3 in Solaris 10.
I was asked to install AD4J . Is it necessary to upgrade Grid Control to 10.2.0.4 for installing AD4J or can I use the present 10.2.0.3 version withour upgrading it ?

Hello.
We already have Grid Control 10.2.0.4 and just installed AD4J 10.2.0.4. This version of AD4J is not integrated with Grid Control, and can be setup on any server by unzipping the downloaded file (no installer). I did find the installation/configuration documentation lacking, but worked through it with a little help from Oracle Support.
The AD4J console has the look and feel of Grid Control, but is totally separate app with its own Apache server, etc.

Backing up database and archivelogs with grid control.

So I was scheduling a job to backup the entire database and archive logs to an ASM diskgroup. Well for some reason.... the backup of both the datafiles and archivelog files keep going to my $ORACLE_HOME/db/dbs directory. I have no clue as I've dropped the job and recreated it and made sure it was going to <diskgroup>. Anyone have any idea what might be happening? I'm using 10.2.0.4 for the database and ASM. My Grid control is also 10.2.0.4.
Thanks in advance
Luke

How to use stored script from with Grid Control 10gR2

My backup method uses a stored script in the recovery catalog that is separated from Grid Control's repository database.
In Scheduled Backup, there is no way to connect to recovery catalog; let alone use stored script. Is that true?

Monitoring with Grid Control : Default thresholds

Hi,
I have installed Grid Control 10GR2, and have been struggling with the monitoring the health of Enterprise databases. Previously, any critical health problem seemed to have been reported promptly..
The default time interval in Grid Control is too long for certain health issues.. like
database up-down, tablespace full...
I just wanted to get idea from others, what have they done with the time intervals?
Any suggestions/experiences??
- Jayant

I've kept the defaults on most things, I have changed a few things, notably a metric on the agent itself. But all databases self manage their space anyway. tablespace full you can just change to 5 minutes or something if you are concerned about it.Just experiment, everybodys requirements are different.
And for the other chap to change a time interval on grid control 10.2:
Go to Targets-->All Targets
Click on the name of the target you want to change (be it host/database or agent etc)
Scroll down the page and click on 'Metric and Policy Settings'
There you will see the collection schedule for each metric, this a clickable link from where you can then edit.
Alternatively use a monitoring template and do it that way, especially if you got lots to change.

Unable to see database in Grid Control

I installed Grid Control 10g and started both OMS service and agent. I also installed another agent on a different host. When I run macux3:1830/emd/main (this is where I installed the Grid Control) and macux4:1830/emd/main (this is where my production database is running), I am getting
EMAgent10.1.0.2.0
Congratulations, EMAgent is working!
But when I try to click on the Targets tab in Grid Control and from Targets tab click on the Database tab, I am not seeing my production database.
Would you please let me know If I am missing something here?
Thanks in advance,
Mustafa

Mustafa,
check the agent home page, starting from the Grid Control homepage it is to be found under Management System ==> Management Services and Repository ==> Agents . On the Agents page you should see your installed agents, hopefully up and running. If you click on a agent tab, immediately the agent tries to communicate with the OMS.
If the communication is successfully established, a list of all observerd targets, including databases , is shown. If all this happens, on principle the communication works.
Additionally,check the account status of dbsnmp and sysman, they must be unlocked.
select username,account_status from dba_users where username in ('DBSNMP','SYSMAN'); must result in
USERNAME ACCOUNT_STATUS
DBSNMP OPEN
SYSMAN OPEN
Normally the status should be open, if necessary you have to change it:
alter user <username> account unlock;
