OEM 9i Supporting 10g Intelligent Agents

Hello.
We currently use OEM 9.2.0.1 for monitoring and tracking of our 9i database instances. I want to add in our application server when we go live with iAS 9.0.4.1. We're currently running 1.0.2.2, which of course is well behind the times. Will the 10g iAS Intelligent Agent communicate with a 9i EM? If so, are there any limitations, or special considerations I need to take into account? Thanks.

Nope. Totally different architectures.

Oracle 10g intelligent agent

Hi,
I can see the agenctl and dbsnmp in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin for 9i installations but I can't see any of that for the 10g install. Can someone please point me to where the agent executables and control scripts reside on a 10g install?
Or the agent does not come with the 10g database software?
Thanks

wait,
there is no Intelligent Agent in 10g.
There is new kind of agent, the Enterprise Manager 10g agent. You deploy only one 10g agent per host, and it will monitor not only all your databases, but also your file systems and operating system.
You can have both agents running, the Intelligent Agent (8i/9i) and the Grid Control Agent (10g).
There is no way, as far as I know, to upgrade your 9i agent to 10g. You have to configure your Grid. The agents are not at all compatible, they do not use the same port and they do not use the same protocol (the 10g agent use HTTP).

Oracle Support: SNMP, OEM Console & Intelligent Agent

I have the Intelligent Agent running fine (thanks to the "Does
anyone at Oracle Support read these messages" thread). I can
tnsping the agent and listener from the Win98 OEM Console
machine, I can access the listener when manually discovered.
When I try to submit a job, there is nothing in the Destinations
window. I have SNMP enabled on the 8.0.5.1 server.
Simple question, will it work or not, I really have got better
things to do with my time.
Sick of wasting time.

Yes it will work. You'de better sign a Technical Support Contract
with Oracle (if you havent) and call them.
They surely can help.

OEM intelligent agent

I'm running 8.0.5 on Red Hat 6.0. The system has been running happily for two months, but I'm now starting to play with the management tools and having a problem.
When I start the OEM intelligent agent via
"lsnctrl dbsnmp_start"
I get the following error message in DBSNMPW.log:
NMS-00315: Message 315 not found; No message file for product=network, facility=
NMS
From OEM Doc I found the following:
NMS-00315: Failed to create tcl package index.
Cause: The tcl package index could not be created.
Action: Make sure all the shared libraries in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/agent/library directory are correct.
I checked the $ORACLE_HOME/network/agent/library and found it was empty.
I then started orainst and checked to see that OEM intelligent agent was installed, it shows as being installed
Has anyone run into this problem? Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks

Does OEM Grid Control 10g support monitoring Oracle Portal 10g?

Dear expert,
It seems OEM GC 10g could monitor WebCenter, Weblogic portal and even Websphere portal, but I could not find any info for Oracle Portal. So,
1. Does OEM GC support to monitor Oracle Portal 10g? If not, does it support Oracle Portal 11g?
2. If does not support Oracle Portal, then is there any workaround for it? E.g. if it’s feasible through “web appliation”?
Any comment and docs are welcome.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your help.
BTW, I have another question for your reply, that what do u mean by “You can use Oracle Enterprise Manager to monitor and manage OracleAS Portal”?
Do you mean OEM AS Console or OEM GC? Boz I only find these metrics from OEM AS Console, which mentioned in this doc. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B16240_01/doc/em.102/b25987/oracle_portal.htm#CHDFJHDD
If these metrics only available in AS Console, then how to let the OEM send out email notification if critical threshold is over?
Thank you.

How to config or start Intelligent Agents for OEM

I have install the ORACLE 8.1.7 on redhat 7 successfully. Then I start the "o8ibegin" database instance, start the Oracle Management Server successfully. But, when I start the OEM by using "oemapp console", I could not discover the nodes, it tells me that I maybe do not have Oracle Intelligent Agents. I have chosen to install Oracle Intelligent Agents on install phase, and I have checked that Oracle Intelligent Agents have installed on my system.
I want to know how to start the Oracle Intelligent Agents service. I remember Oracle Intelligent Agents is a service on Windows NT/2000 version. I alos met such problem on Windows NT/2000, and when I start the Oracle Intelligent Agents service throught service applet on control panel, I resolve the problem.

try 'lsnrctl dbsnmp_start' to start
and 'lsnrctl dbsnmp_status' to verify

Intelligent Agent in 10g?

Hi,
we are currently setting up a DB 10g. On the old 9i system we used to start the intelligent agent among other oracle services. Now the Suse orarun script fails to start the agent because neither agentctl is in $ORACLE_HOME/bin nor is "lsnrctl dbsnmp_start" a valid statement anymore.
Is just the orarun script outdated or do we have to install the agent on our own? Or is it even completely obsolete since 10g?
Thanks for your help.

Can any one help me please ?

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

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.

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.

Ora8, Intelligent Agent, RH6 & OEM on NT

I've spent most of today trawling through these messages looking
for information on getting the Intelligent Agent up and running
on Linux, RedHat 6.0.
I am running 8.0.5 EE with the glibcpatch installed (hopefully
correctly, as I cannot get the README file of the FTP site).
Everything works, the Agent even starts (2 * dbsnmp processes)
but I cannot discover the services on my box from an NT machine
running the Oracle Enterprise Manager.
By putting tracing on the Agent (level 16) I find that the log
file ends with the following (continually being added to the
file).
nttcnr: exit

Any ideas? Any help greatly appreciated. I really don't want to
go back to 5.2 or 5.1 if I can help it.
ps. Can you put the glibcpatch README on the HTTP site and not
the FTP site? I'd love to know what's in it!

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 installation.

I just found that the reason my OEM's Navigator doesn't populate is because the Intelligent Agent is not running on my Oracle/Linux box. But how do I install/run it? Some Doc mentioned "<Note:97135.1>" whithout telling where to find it. Can someone help me on that?
Thanks.

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.
