Oracle 9i Intelligent Agent Failure on startup in Windows XP

i have Oracle 9i installed in a machine. It was working fine so far. Recently I have installed Oracle 10g in the same machine with different home. From that point I have problem starting the "OracleOraHome92Agent"
I have uninstaled the 10g, i still have the same problem.
Any idea?
Thanks

Check your windows registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\
see how many KEY_<HOME>_NAME listed there, remove the one not needed.

Oracle intelligent agent failure

Hi,
I am on windows 2000 server running Oracle 9i database and I cannot start the intelligent agent for database 9i it keeps giving the ,message that it is idle therefore was stopped. When I start it in dos it dumps the message belog in its log. I would like to use the OEM to manage my database but can't because the OMS cannot detect my nodes cos the agent is not running. Please assist.
The message
Service name is Oracleoracle9_HomeAgent
Failed while initializing Collection Service
Error initializing subsystems
Agent exited on with return value 55
Could not start agent. Initialization failure
Agent startup failed. Check F:\ora9i\network\log\Oracleoracle9_HomeAgent.nohup for details

Hi,
check for the time zone.
In my case it was solved when I was creating a system environment variable named TZ and choosed a valid content, see metalink for timezone problems:
nsupportedtzs.lst
supportedtzs.lst
in the sysman\admin should have a common denominator.

Oracle 8i Intelligent Agent Service problem

Hi!
We successfully installed Oracle 8i (8.1.7 ee) on Intel P-IV (Xeon) server running Windows 2000 Advanced server (Service Pack 2). It was working properly until now. There was no problem in implementing the tricks useful in installation. After that, database service "OracleService<DBName>" presented problem by not automatically starting on computer startup but it was tamed by "Oradim" command added to startup folder.
All was going smoothly for about a month now but when I rebooted the server PC yesterday, the service "Oracle<HomeName>Agent" failed to start. Along with it the DataGatherer and TNSListener services also failed (Only db service OracleService<DBName> starts but very very slowly). The Windows Event Viewer descriped the problme for Agent service as ,"The Oracle<HomeName>Agent service terminated with the following error: %%3221356551 ". The Event ID is always 7023 for this error. The rest of services just don't give any error codes. It is also stated that nothing has been installed/Uninstalled on this PC in the last several days and no configration changes, in tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora, listener.ora, win registry has been made. The TCP/IP configration are intact and NTFS folder and file rights are properly defined.
Starting the service using "Net Start <service_name>" also failed with the message,"System error 7 has occured, Storage control blocks will be destroyed".
Searching online, I also performed some steps in correcting the problem like backup and delete all *.q, snmp_ro.ora, snmp_rw.ora, services.ora files. But to no help. The log files in Oracle_Home\network\logs also dont record the problem even after setting the trace level to Admin or 16. The Agent service simply refuses to start...
Reinstalling Oracle (over existing one, not first removing it altogether. We simply cann't do this now for data loss!!!) or just the Intelligent Agent itsself using univeral installer also fails at the end when it tries to start the intellegent Agent Service Oracle<HomeName>Agent. This time the error described is "O/S error in starting service".
Is this something to do with Xeon server coz the same Oracle 8i is installed much before than this on another P-IV server (not xeon) running the same Op system and it never presented us this problem todate. Its also worth mentioning that this problem occured before as well, on the second day we installed Oracle 8i the first time on Xeon. Since there was no data then, we simply removed oracle, cleared registry and started all over again BUT now it cann't be done.
Any help shall be highly appreciated.
With Regards, Rashid.

Thanks for stopping by this thread. Problem has been resolved from another forum. Actually c:\oracle folder was accessable to administrator only, when I added 'Everyone' to the permission list as well, everything started fine. Allowing 'Everyone' to this folder is dangerous but its working for now :)

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).

OS 10.4.5 failure to startup-login window/ black screen/ blue screen-frozen

Hi there,
To anybody that can help me, I thank you very much indeed in advance.
G4 Powerbook, 1.5gHz, 2gb Ram (1gb kingston ram added since purchase date), OS 10.4.5, security update 2006-002 (v1.1 (?) recently installed).
My current problem is that i cannot log into OS X. It boots as far as the login window, which is unresponsive, and then it then flicks to a black screen with 2 or 3 lines of white text and then flicks to a totally 'mac-blue' screen with the black arrow pointer still active.
A history of my problem;
1) Yes, unfortunately I tried to get front row to work on my machine (the hack with the front row enabler etc), and subsequently removed all traces of it after it screwed up a few things (menu bar missing, failure to restart). This tidy-up involved doing something with system library, bezel services...etc.
2) I recently installed the first version of security update 2006-002. i am not saying this is the cause, but sometime after I did this, things started going wrong again. another thing i did recently which i hadnt in the past was to have itunes appear at startup and a few days later i emptied my hard drive of all my music and had this linked to a lacie 250gb via firewire 800. The problem at this was that login/startup was incredibly slow and sometimes the finder would keep relaunching itself on its own once the operating system was up and running. Also, when i tried safe boot, the login window would appear and then it would flick to a black screen. it would let me type in a username, but it would not let me input anything for the password.(I did use disk utility to repair permissions when i did manage to logon).
This whole problem seemed to go away for a day or two, but the login was still slower than usual the past few days.
I then turned on my powerbook this morning and login was extremely long and never completed fully- lots of pinwheel spins, menu bar not loading, itunes not appearing.
After a few forced shutdowns I left the computer for maybe 5-10 mins and it seemed to sort itself out after a few finder relaunches etc, and so i tried a few things;
3) I tried installing the newer version of the security update 2006-002 version 1.1 i think? At the same time i took itunes off the startup launches and also switched off auto login for my account (a silly idea it seems).
Since restarting from the security update, the operating system gets to the login window, which is unresponsive, and then it then flicks to a black screen with 2 or 3 lines of white text and then flicks to a totally 'mac-blue' screen with the black arrow pointer still active.(this is with the power adaptor connected only, no other cables etc)
I have tried Resetting PRAM, and using fsck, although I am slightly unsure as to whether or not this is useful to me anyway. I cannot reinstall the operating system until next week as my mum has my copy of tiger at home a few hundred miles away!
Any help at all would be so greatly appreciated, especially on the eve of my two year anniversary with my powerbook!
Kind regards,
Henry Harker

Hi Henry
I've just encountered this problem with one of our computers at work. Hopefully this will help.
It's a Login Window Prefs problem. It's probably corrupted so you need to remove the prefs file.
1. Startup in safe mode (hold down shift). You should get a login window for the master admin account.
2. Delete the file: userName>Library>Preferences>com.apple.loginwindow.plist
3. Restart.
Let me know how you go.
Cheers

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

Oracle Intelligent Agent Startup Error

Whenever I try to startup the Oracle Intelligent Agent on my DB server I get
the error:
could not open emtab at /var/opt/oracle/emtab.
I am using Oracle9iR2 and have installed the complete package. I did a
search of the HD and this file does not exists anywhere..which explains why
it was not found! does anyone know what I must do to resolve this problem?
can I just ignore this error???
Note: I only want to run the agent, the EM database is not installed on this machine but a seperate machine in another location.
Thanks in advance,
Steve,

No, just the 9i R2 database + EM, we don't use AS. Maybe I can just ignore this error?? Sometimes I notice oracle gives errors which are in fact just warnings or information. not very helpful as you never know. Not sure if I can ignore this or not.
Thanks,

Oracle Intelligent Agent Won't Run

Hello World,
I have just installed Oracle 9i DB on Windows XP. When I installed Oracle
Dev. Suite 9i on the same machine my Oracle Intelligent Agent stopped working. I checked the services tool and noticed that the installation of DEV. SUITE 9i had installed an agent for Developer's Suite Oracle home. Both agents are not working. They both terminate in the same manner AGNTSRVC.exe Failed and the GUI request to send the error to MicroSoft. What can I do to get this Oracle Agent working.
Many thanks
Emmanuel

I am also having this problem, but generally just when it is starting on boot up. I can go into services and start it manually, so it runs (although it has a tendency to crash). I get the following in the nohup file:
Service name is OracleOraHome9iAgent
Failed while initializing Comm service
Error initializing subsystems
Agent exited on 08/29/2002 06:00 with return value 55
Could not start agent. Initialization failure
Agent startup failed. Check E:\oracle\network\log\OracleOraHome9iAgent.nohup for details
Not a big problem, yet. Experience tells me, though, that when one little thing starts having problems, more and more things start having problems.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think the Intelligent Agent is included with the developers release -
check the directory where it's supposed to be, I think you'll find it's not there.
You only need IA to start/stop the database from oem and schedule jobs.
I use OEM to control my instance and run performance packs etc, IA isn't needed for this.

Oracle Intelligent agent in different oracle home

Hi All,
We have installed new agent (9.2.0.1) in different oracle home, as previous intelligent agent(in main oracle home(9.2.0.5) where database resides) was hanging, after that we are facing a new problem in discovering listener and database in OMS server.
We have setup the ORACLE_HOME variable to new oracle intelligent home (where we have started the agent now),and TNS_ADMIN variable to main oracle home(database resides) even then snmp_rw.ora and snmp_ro.ora files are not creating in the current oracle home.I followed the metalink notes, even then it couldn't help me.
From the OMs we can discover the node, but we cannot discover the listener and database, Can anyone help me in discovering the database and listener in the oms when we have two separate oracle homes.
This is kind of urgent, appreciate if anyone can answer it as soon as possible
Thanks,
Riah

Can any one help me please ?
