Oracle EM and OVM management--where to start?

We are interested in evaluating EM for OVM control, but after a quick glance through the docs it's by no means clear how to start. We have not used EM before this and it's a daunting prospect.
What I'm interested to know is:
1. What is the minimum amount of parts I need to download and install to get OVM management under EM working for a simple environment?
2. Does it really require a full oracle DB installation or will it work with XE?
3. What plugins and agents etc. are/are not required?
It looks simple enough on paper but the EM framework has an enormous amount of apparatus most of which it seems we don't need.
Any pointers greatly appreciated!

First this is such task where you will learn more but sorry to say it will also take Time. This is not one/two days task.
Yes how to start
==========
I will suggest first dont go with user guides/Implementation Guide, for newbie they are little bit hard as my understanding.
Read small Blogs/Articles and have fast understanding and then go with user guides/Implementation Guide .
These are some article are there web that can hep you

Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite Plus Integration with Oracle ADF

Hi All,
Kindly advice if Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite Plus can be integrated with Oracle ADF based applications to manage the end-to-end lifecycle of user accounts specifically addressing to roles/priviledges and security.
Request you to share links to documentation where I can study the steps to integrate both the frameworks.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Oracle Identity and Access Management (11.1.1.3.0) and IM difference?

What is difference between Oracle Identity and Access Management (11.1.1.3.0) and Identity Management (11.1.1.3.0) ?
From
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/oid-11g-161194.html

When you run the config, you are asked to add some product. Have checked the "Oracle Access Manager with Database Policy Store" product?
If not, you can add it by extending the domain. Once done you have to start two WLS servers (AdminServer and oam_server1):
Start AdminServer with $DOMAIN/bin/startWebLogic.sh
Start oam_server1 with $DOMAIN/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh oam_server1
It might be that oam_server1 asks for username and password. This is fine for the first time. During the first start the necessary directory structure is created. Once it came up and enters RUNNING state, kill it and create a file boot.properties in $DOMAIN/servers/oam_server1/security with the entries username=name and password=pw in two lines and start oam_server1 again.
Starting oam_server1 is recommend to get proper values in the oamconsole.

Few questions regarding Oracle Scorecard and strategy management.

Hi,
I have following questions regarding Oracle Scorecard and strategy management:
1. What are the ways in which i can show status of a KPI, like we have colors and symbols, what are others?
2. can we keep log of KPIs, store them, keep report of feedback/action taken on that?
3. Does Scorecard and strategy management have ability to retain history on feedback and log of
entries i.e. date/time, user name?
4. Does Scorecard and strategy management have ability to use common mathematical formulas e.g. median, average, percentiles. Describe.?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Oracle Change and Configuration Management packs

Hi,
We are looking at implementing the Oracle Change and Configuration Management packs.
I would be very interested to hear from anybosy who is currently using these packs.
I have done some preliminary tests, and am getting what seems like a very simple error, but i am at a loss as to how to fix it.
Will respond to replies with exact error and scenario.
thanks in advance.
melvyn

Hi Nayab,
We are looking to implement the change and configuration management packs, to automate our change control.
As part of my initial testing i have the following scenario...
I have three database (namely TEST_DB, QA_DB and PROD_DB) all configured and manageable in EM.
I have create a sample test schema in TEST_DB with tables, views, sequences, procedures and triggers.
Using EM, i am able to transfer the sample schema (with all objects) from the TEST_DB to the PROD_DB.
If i manually create the sample schema in the QA_DB, i am able to transfer the sample schema from the QA_DB to the PROD_DBm using EM.
When i try to transfer the sample schema from the TEST_DB to the QA_DB i get an error in the synchronization phase.
The capturing of the baseline, and the dictionary comparison phase complete successfully, but when i do the synchronization phase, i get
the follwing error...
SQL> ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Process ID: 0
Session ID: 0 Serial number: 0
This seems strange because, it must have been able to see the destination database for it to complete the dictionary comparison phase, so
i cannot understand now why it cannot connect to the destination database to complete the synchronization phase.
any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Melvyn

Try replacing the .dll file with the one in your WINDOWS directory. I had that problem and I copied the .dll from C:/WINDOWS/system32 to overwrite the one located in the install directory.

Oracle Lease and Finanace Management

Hi,
Please let me know if the Oracle Finanace and Lease Management module be implemented for a lessee in order to manage their leases.
My client is a car rental company who leases vehicles from the Toyota Finance. There are about 500-600 leases at a given time.
We tried to use the lease management funaciotnality within the Oracle Fixed Assets. However there a limitations when using the fixed assets module to manage the leases. These are such as being unable to update the lease contracts which are in use, not being able to pay out a lease before the end of the lease and there's no facility to upload the leases without having to create them one by one etc.
Can someone please let me know if the Oracle Lease and Finanace Management can be used to manage the leases for this company ( Who is a lessee ) .
And also please let me know the other options available.
Thanks and Regards,

Integrating existing staff database and LDAP server - where to start?

Hi,
I really hope you guys can help me out here. Basically I have an Oracle based staff database and an LDAP server for global intranet application authentication. Now I've been tasked with implementing Oracle Portal for a local Intranet site, adding the usual static HR info, but also writing an editor for the staff database, some reports on other databases, and some simple workflows to authorise page updates, etc. I'm kind of stumped on where to start in integrating everything together. What's the best approach? Can I simply rewrite the views used by the portal to look at my staff tables, or do I need to refresh into the portal somehow? That being the case, how do I prevent users editing their data (as it'll be overwritten) Is it easy to authenticate against a third party LDAP server? If so, how? Plug-in in OID? Can I change the views in the portal to look at the data in my existing staff DB instead of the local portal tables? Many questions, I know, but Oracle's documentation is like diet food - lots of bulk with very little by way of calories. Getting very disillusioned with the whole thing to be honest, so some motivational success stories would be nice too!
Regards,
G Walker
PS/ So far all I'm struck with is the number of bugs I've come across, and that's without doing anything fancy...

Here is a link to a tutorial regarding AS2/PHP/MySQL that might be helpful. You may need to search for database-specific tutorials as well.

Sizing of Oracle IdentityManager and Access Manager on same Weblogic Server

Hi ,
We are planning to deploy Oracle Identity Manager and Access Manager on the same weblogic server in different domains.We have user base of 25000 users.
We can propose two different weblogic servers for OIM and OAM ?
Please let me know the best hardware and software requirements for this installation.
Thanks,
RBM

Here is sizing guide for Oracle Identity Manager
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/id-mgmt/oim11g-sizingguide-194346.pdf
You can use it as a guideline, and it refers to 25000 users similar to your requirement. There are other factors also consider like, failover, performance etc. Feel free to reach out if you need more info [email protected]

Oracle Text and Workspace Manager

Has anybody incoroporated Workspace Manager and Oracle text together. How is the Oracle Text index handled? Can users in different workspaces submit documents, have them indexed and be the only ones to see those documents?

Hi,
I do not have much experience with Oracle text, and am unsure exactly how it works. As such, I would suggest to file a TAR requesting this information.

Oracle Backup and Recovery 101: where can I get more information?

Hey everyone. I'm a pretty new Oracle DBA and backup and recovery is something I want to learn as much about as I can.
I read a blog about "how to be a good DBA" and it really drove home the importance of backups. I know how important they are, I just want to learn more.
What I mean is, I understand a lot of the high level concepts. It is pretty much straight forward. What I am looking for is something that really goes down in the internals of what is going on behind the scenes so I know what is going on.
I thought it would be extremely beneficial for me to learn about user backups. Granted, RMAN is the direction my company is heading to, but right now, we are doing user made backups. My thinking is that if I can get a solid grip and understanding of backup and recovery, user made backups, it will make the transition to RMAN much easier. That way, when I am working in RMAN, issue a command to do backup, I know the equivalent of a user backup and what is going on.
I hope that makes sense.
Is there a recommended book that goes over backup and recovery in depth?
I'd like to learn about all the user-made backup commands that can be executed at the command line (example, putting a tablespace in backup).
Since backups are essential to the life of a DBA, I thought the more I know, the better off I would be.

You can always find good information from Oracle document site,
Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Basics
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/toc.htm
Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/toc.htm
User managed backup is quite different from RMAN backup. For RMAN backup you need to get familiar with the RMAN command syntax and configure.

Task dependencies and scheduling in Oracle projects and project management

Am I correct in the belief that Oracle projects/project management does not have the ability to create, manage and track dependencies between tasks in a project ? And to achieve that micro level of planning I need to use something like Microsoft Project Integration ?

Gordon,
Project integration is the link between Oracle Projects and MS Projects.
If you want to define dependencies between tasks, MS Project is best bet
for you.
