OEM Service

Hi, Sorry this is in the wrong group, but i couldn't find a relevant group.
I am having problems in starting the OEM service on a Win2K Server platform using oracle 8i. the service returns the following error, which doesn't really help in determining what is causing it. "Could not start the oracle managment server service on the local computer. the service did not return an error"
I had made no changes to the server prior to this error. OEM was working fine. I just restarted the server & the problem started.
I had this before & had to re-install 8i. Probably a bit drastic, but i couldn't think of any other way.
I have also tried running the .exe file the service refers to, but had no joy.
Any help is welcome.
thanks - - PeterA

I have the same problem ...
Error ORA-12640 Authentication Adapter initialization failed.
It seem as OMS is not able to do the connection with the database.
I've test a new installation in a separate Oracle home, but I steel have the same bug.
I am surprised Oracle team don't give any hint for that !!!
Any help is welcome.

  • OEM service and Agent

    Hi:
    I would like to set the automatic start up / shutdown for the OEM service and Oracle agent.
    Does somebody know how to do it?
    Regards,

    I’ll take a shot at this one:
    First you need to create a script for rc
         A good example that every oracle installation references for linux database installations is the dbora script. Find it and use this as your baseline.
    $ORA_OWNER = is the name of the account on linux that has execute permissions to the oracle binaries.
    $ORA_HOME = is the path to your oracle product home
    In the start portion add
    su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/emctl start agent" > /dev/null 2>&1
    In the stop portion add
    su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/emctl stop agent" > /dev/null 2>&1
    As root, type:
              # chkconfig --add dbora
    Adds the dbora to the init.d
              # chkconfig –list |grep dbora
    confirm it’s there
              # service dbora on
    System will automatically turns it on/off at Startup/shutdown
              # service --status-all | grep dbora
                   confirm it’s there and status
    This gives you a startup/shutdown for both the DB and agent
    Good luck

  • Help to start iSQL*PLUS and OEM services

    Here is what I did in trying upgrade 10.1 to 10.2 on Windows:
    1. use Oracle Universal Installer installed 10.2 in a separated ORACLE_HOME;
    2. run pre-upgrade assistant (utlu102i.sql)
    3. run Net Configuration Assistant to congired listner
    4. run DBUA ( however message shows that database already upgraded)
    At this point, new instance is up. new listner is working, but iSQL*PLUS and oem services didn't even be recognized by OS.
    From Universal Installer, I saw iSQL*PLUS and OEM were installed. What I am missing here in order to start services of iSQL*PLUS and OEM?

    Well, the instance is running properly. sqlplus also works fine. Because there is no new OEM service available if you look at Services list, how it could be meaningful to connect to OEM through a browser? As fact, browser can not connect to OEM.
    Do I need to reinstall 10.2?

  • OEM services say down, but up

    My customer has a problem with the status of some services in OEM. The Parallel Page Engine service, and Oracle Database say they are down by the red arrow pointing down in the 'Status' column from the OEM interface, but the services must be working since they are using portal. How can this be fixed so they can accurately monitor their services???

    When you drill down on the Parallel Page Engine Services link do any of the status indicators show a down arrow? If there's a down arrow on the top Portal page there should be a corresponding down arrow when drilling down to see the details.
    Thanks

  • OEM service problem

    hello sir,
    when i tried to open OracleDBConsole service it is givimg me following error
    windows could not start OracleDBconsoleora on local computer.for more information, review the system event log.if this is a non-microsoft service,contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 2.
    so can you please assist me on that.......
    thanks in advance

    Instead of using the services panel, invoke 'emctl start dbconsole' in a DOS box, you will see more detailed informations. Generally 'error code 2' means, a directory/file was not found.

  • Cannot start OEM console & agent service

    I have 8i database, client & OEM installled on the same laptob (OS W2k). Machine is not connected to any network.
    I have created the OEM repository.
    I can start OMS service.
    But the agent service fail to start.
    Microsof Mgt console error msg: could not start Oracle Agent service on Local Computer. Error3221356559
    Is it true the machine need a static IP address ?
    Any advice, deeply appreciated.
    Tks

    I had an agent service problem which after a lot of trouble resorted to a reinstall of OEM. It created the last 2 service errors being teh OEM and apache. I used a registry cleaner from
    www.iomation.com. After running this utility I rebooted and the agent service worked again. The apache service was fixed by starting it in the console and reading the error to find that multiple entries were being made to the http.conf when reinstalling. The OEM service still doesn't work. I am assuming it is a problem with a configuration file which I am working on now.
    Hope some of this helps, I know what a pain these problems are. Darrel, I dont know if its me, but that link doesnt work. Its a water/landscaping site.

  • Two emagent-Services on a one Database system

    Hello,
    maybe someone can answer my question, which I am working on since several days.
    I installed Oracle 10g Database and created a Database, after that I had one OEM running and accessible using the normal URL host:1158/em.
    After installing Oracle HTTP-Server and Application Express there is another OEM-Service running, that I cannot access.
    I had a look at the Process and Port-List and found out that one is started from the Database_Home and the other from the Http_Home.
    In the Port-List there was one java.exe on Port 1158, which I can access, and another two listening on 1810 and 1850 which I am not able to access.
    Furthermore there are two emagent processes shown, where one has two connections established on different ports and is listening on a third and the second process is listening on a single port.
    Since both processes have there own java instance running, consuming dozens of MB virtual and RAM space, I would like to know if I really need the second emagent that I probably installed with the HTTP-Server.
    And if I do not need it, how I can stop it, because there is no entry in the Windows services list to stop this service.
    Kind regards
    Alex

    Are you sure that while installing the Application Express you did not create a new database instance? I think that windows starts one emagent for each DB instance that has been created. It might be that installing Application Express you accidentally created a new instance? Or maybe you did the DB creation process more than once without dropping the previously created instance? I remember I used to have 4 instances running, each of them with their processes and my system became very very slow.
    In the Oracle_Home/install/portlist.ini there is the list of the ports used by EM and in this file are shown even the previously configured instances EMs even if those instances have been dropped - but the processes should no longer been lunched.
    For each instance, in this file the EM shows 2 different ports, one is the HTTP port (in your case 1158) and the other one is the EM agent port to connect to the instance. I have the feeling that one the ports you mentioned 1810 or 1850 should be this port (mine is 1830). You will not be able to access these ports via HTTP. So having one of them in use besides the HTTP service on 1158 should be fine.
    Still I think it should not be the case to have 2 EM processes running unless you have 2 instances still active. Are you sure these java.exe processes are EM processes?

    Help is not possible without a four digit database version.
    Also what kind of help do you require? You can't read documentation?
    In that case: This forum is not the place to behave like a 2 year old and to ask your mummy to hold your hand.
    The procedure is documented, please read it, and don't ask doc questions.
    If you love bothering a forum of volunteers and turn it into a free documentation lookup service, at least provide a four digit database version.

  • Problem in em in Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3.0)

    Hello all,
    I m facing the following problem in oracle 10g (10.2.0.3.0). When I log on to em, database instance is shown inactive(status down). However, checking the local services I realised that instance is up and running. How could i correct that problem so that database status on em web console is shown correctly???
    please your help

    If not on Windows, we have AIX servers overhere and also see a lot of times databases being inaccessible from OEM.
    This is because of a bug in the Agent using a certain perl version, which causes the agent to be inresponsive.
    Check following:
    sqlplus system/<password>@SID
    This check ensures that you mistake the start of a SQLplus connection as SYS to be that the database is running.
    If the above statement connects your database and Listener are up and running.
    Preferably do this check from the server running the OEM.
    If that connection works, bounce the OEM services ( and database ), just to see if it has started correctly.
    Also restart the Oracle Agent on the target server.
    If these checks still show the database as being down ( wait a couple of minutes after the restart to let the agents communicate statuses ) then report back.

  • Trying to update OBP getting unrecognized magic number in media label

    Two questions both relating to my trying to update my OBP:
    1. when I typebanner I get ... AXi (UltraSPARC-IIi), PS/2 keyboard
    OpenBoot 3.10.12 SME...
    but when I type .version I get OBP 3.10.12
    My question is which OBP update to use, AXi OBP 3.10.13 or OBP 3.10.31?
    2. When I try to install either I always get the same thing
    I copied the .Floppy file to a floppy
    then type boot floppy nolabel just like the readme and I get this:
    Unrecognized magic number in media label
    Can't open disk label package
    Can't open boot deviceI have also tried coping the program file to a cd and tyring boot cdrom nolabel but same results
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    because the DTK boards don't support faster CPUs than 333MHz, this is a Sun board.
    I was unable to locate the SPARCengine Ultra AXi OEM Service Manual, the file was finally removed. This is an alternate link

    The Solaris 10 media kits are only available with DVD media, but you can download the CD images. The Solaris documentation is available online
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/solaris.10?l=en
    I would strongly recommend that you give Solaris 10 a try !
    You might try Aurora Linux. The Ultrax AXi is among the supported systems. Linux for SPARC capabilities are behind the x86/x64 versions.
    This is the link to the project page
