Oracle Ops Center blog?

Does anyone from Oracle write a blog on Ops Center? I see the OEM blog (https://blogs.oracle.com/oem/) has occasional references to OC but I can't find a blog for just OC. And are there any third-party blogs on OC?
Thanks,

Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center is part of Oracle Enterprise Manager family . Oracle Enterprise Manager Blog at https://blogs.oracle.com/oem/ covers Ops Center as well. Oracle Enterprise manager Ops Center VP Steve Wilson has a Ops Center specific blog at https://blogs.oracle.com/stevewilson/ . Some already mentioned the facebook page for Ops Center .

Hi Albert,
which Version of remote DB do have installed ?
As the error indicates that the error say sqlpplus can't connect to it.
Is the Oracle listener running for port 1521 ?
Error: Failed to get a database connection: Connection refused
satadm: ERROR: --- Failed to verify database
example to verify the status:
/export/home/oracle/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/bin/lsnrctl status
and what is ../oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
configured is these same port/hostname as in RemoteDBProps.txt

Unable to activate ASR for an asset in Ops Center

While activating an asset in ASR it gets failed. There was a case opened with Oracle but they suggested to Re-install Oracle Ops Center . Is there any alternate method to solve this issue .
The problem was that a host was added a long time ago with another IP address and it was not removed . After chanign the IP it is unable to recognise the asset and activate ASR. Is there any option to remove the old conflicting entry of the asset .
Thanks/Regards
Mohammed Sadiq

Hello Mohamed,
This question is complex. There are 2 sides :
#1 one is the cleanup of the asset with wrong IP
#2 the other is the ASR activation problem
For issue #1 , to do the cleanup we need a jmxdump to understand the level of the cleanup that needs to be done. This would need to be worked in the case you have.
About the ASR issue #2, the activation fails because it is trying to activate a wrong formatted serial number
"ERROR The assets serial number ({0}) was not found in your CSI(s)"
So we would need more debug traces. I would suggest you create new SR if you don't have one already.
Please ask the SR owner to engage me if you want we discuss about it.

Installation of OPS Center

Hi,
Hi Team,
I have a Oracle EM 12c Cloud Control Installed in one of the Server.
Is it possible to install Oracle 12c R1 Ops Center on the same Server where our EM 12c Cloud Control exists?
Can i use my 12c Cloud Control Repository Database for 12c Ops Center Installation?
or
Oracle Ops center and EM 12c should reside on different server?
Please Guide

I believe it is suggested to NOT install both on the same server. We have Ops Center installed on 1 VM guest and EM on another VM guest, but technically on the same physical box.

Oracle OpenWorld and Ops Center 12c

When I was at Oracle OpenWorld two weeks ago, I could have sworn the Ops Center booth was running an unreleased version of Ops Center (to be 12c). If that is the case, what is the estimated release date of this product? And will it be like Oracle Enterprise Manager, and only run on Oracle Linux? Or is Ops Center 11g just being rebranded under the Enterprise Manager "12c" brand?

At Oracle OpenWorld, Oracle showed a preview of the next release of Ops Center plus the currently shipping version 11gR1. Oracle cannot discuss specific future release dates over public forums, but should you have a local Oracle account team servicing your company you can reach out to them and find out more information via the non-disclosure agreement process.
Ops Center works on Solaris (x86 and SPARC), Oracle Linux, and several RPM distributions of Linux. I will also note that Enterprise Manager 12c also works on a large variety of Operating Systems. We currently only see the Oracle Linux version downloadable because it is their release process to release Oracle Linux first and then follow up that release with additional downloads for the other Operating Systems in the weeks that follow.

Monitoring an Oracle Database Appliance w/Ops Center?

Is anyone using Ops Center to monitor an Oracle Database Appliance?:
http://www.oracle.com/us/products/database/database-appliance/overview/index.html
I'm looking for a monitoring solution that won't require a lot of 'expect' gathering/parsing work.

A stack trace for the exception would be very useful!
Anyway, perhaps you should check that the username/password specified in the code correspond to those required to access the database (username = "Kotzwinkle", password = "whatever"). Sometimes you can get away with specifying these in the ODBC data source, in which case you shouldn't pass them to the getConnection method.
Hope this helps.

Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center 12c does not support RHEL 5.9 but did oracle have any plan to release patchs to support RHEL 5.9?

To Forum Users,
Below is my issue description:
OPS Center 12C is successfully installed & configured on RHEL 5.9 but post installation while trying to configure controller (enterprise & proxy) using http url it redirect to secure port https but doent promts login screen page. Later i found RHEL 5.9 O.S doen't support Ops center 12c.
Did oracle have any bug / patches for this issue ? or any planned release for / against this vulnerabilities ?

Hello AkankshaSheoranKaler
We have done the following, but we aren't able to resolve this issue. Thank you for your help!
lf
“This happen if the software library is not accessible, readable or unmounted (if it is in shared file system).”
On Enterprise Manager server [nsn175-105], we did the following:
1. we modified /etc/exports to include this line: /export *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)
we start nfs service by executing command “service nfs start”.
On Management Agent server (nsn175-89), we verified that we are able to mount /export directory of EM server.
On Management Agent server, we started firefox browser and were able to run successfully https://nsn175-105.us.oracle.com:4904/empbs/genwallet
After making this change, we ran agent deployment again. We encountered the same error as shown above.
“You can fix the software library or you can download the agent bits in offline mode.”
For fixing the software library, select Setup->Provision and Patching->Offline Patching, then select Offline Patching radio button, download: https://updates.oracle.com/download/em_catalog.zip. Next upload this zip file.
“Try downloading the bits again”
We are not sure what agent bits are. Would you please explain this and provide procedure how we can download this?
(Here I have attempted to fix the software library, but I am new to Enterprise Manager and not sure how to interpret this).

How do I configure a basic LDAP to work with OPS Center?

I have Solaris 11 and have configured it a few ways with LDAP. The last setup I used Directory server with a proxy then added LDAP configs. I am having problem getting the clients working correctly but first I need to know if I can just configure LDAP without DSEE and allow OPS Center to control the users?
Chapter 9 of the Oracle Solaris Administration guide says DSEE is recommended but not required and points you to chapter 14. But I have been unable to figure out how to create the DN and Bind PW prior to configuring LDAP with IDSCONFIG. The OPS Center server is already in play so if configured correctly I should be able to talk to the LDAP server.
Does anyone know what set I am missing or whether it can be done without DSEE?

After contacting Oracle I was informed that there Documentation is misleading and that DSEE is required.
From Oracle
"The statement "However, while using the Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition is recommended, it is not required", does not mean you can configure the Solaris native ldap client without a Directory Server. What the statement means is the Solaris native ldap client is not required to use the Oracle Directory Server, it is recommended, but the Solaris native ldap client can be setup to work with third party Directory Servers. The term "not required" is a reference to the use of the Oracle Directory Server vs a third party Directory Server."
The documentation does not state that Directory Server of any kind is required.

it's not really possible to analyze your problem with this level of information, whats the output of:

And did you try a restart the whole satellite:
# /opt/SUNWxvmoc/bin/satadm stop -w
# /opt/SUNWxvmoc/bin/satadm start -w
Have you already consulted Oracle support?

Configuring email alerts in Ops Center

Hi all,
I have been struggling quite a while to get email alerts working from Ops Center with no success in 11g nor 12c. In the Ops Center GUI, Administration -> EC -> Local Users -> configured user to receive all alerts and emails. I have also configured email relay host correctly(checked a million times).
Sending emails from the host through the email relay works fine, so I'm baffled.
#mailx -s " Test from Ops Center" "my.email@work" < text-file
Do I need to configure something else in Ops Center or what am I missing here?

The email alerts from Ops Center are working for me, I performed...
1.) You must be able to send email from the command line on the Enterprise Controller to the intended email address, ie;
# mailx -v [email protected]
Subject: Email test from Enterprise Controller
EOT
<control-d>
That test must be successful, and the email received!
2.) Setup the Notification Profile in the BUI...
Administration > Enterprise Controller > Users
Highlight the root user, select Configure Notification Profile (the wrench icon)
Notifications via >> Subscribe to All Notifications
User Interface > "Problem updates and all Severities"
Email: > "Problem updates and all Severities"
Pager: None
Notifications Delivery Details
Email: [email protected]
Pager Address: <blank>
Mail Host: localhost
Port: <blank>
Mail User: root
Mail Password: <enter the password for root on the EC>
Connection Security: STARTTLS
Select: Update Notification Profile
3.) Go to Assets > Operating System (second level down) of some Asset
In the center pane select the "Monitoring" tab
Under "Threshold Monitoring Rules" highlight "Memory Usage Percentage"
Edit Alert Monitoring Rule Parameters (the pencil)
Monitor for alert limits continuously
Toggle: Generate Alert after 1 Minute
Change Critical MemoryUsage.usedMemoryPercentage > 2%
Change Warning MemoryUsage.usedMemoryPercentage > 1%
Apply
Wait one minute, you should receive an email that resembles the following:
Notification is generated by (90037): myserver

Oracle Web Center New Features Demo

Hi,
Does anybody have oracle web center new features demo?
It will be great, If you can share it.
Documentation states that, It has features like below:
New capabilities to operate on multiple assets efficiently, including bulk deletion, approval, and bookmarking. These operations are conveniently available from search results screens. Operations can be executed by selecting multiple assets and pressing a single button.
But I can not perform bulk delete asset.
Documentation also states that, It has features like Drag And Drop:
My understanding from the documentation is an asset's attributes are dragged and dropped into advanced UI. Pls correct me, If I am wrong.
Is there any demo available for drag and drop feature of oracle 11g webcenter?
Documentation also states that, It has features like customizable dash board:
New customizable dashboard: A customizable dashboard is now provided out-of-the-box. Widgets to manage assignments, bookmarks, and checkouts are included. Widgets can be rearranged on the dashboard using simple drag-and-drop, and custom widgets can be added to satisfy unique business needs.
Pls let me know, where the dashboard is available and how to implement the above mentioned features.
Thanks And Regards
Dhaya

Hi,
If you mean video demo, then there is a link to it on WebCenter blog (https://blogs.oracle.com/webcenter/) - On Demand Webcast - Introducing Oracle WebCenter Sites: Transforming the Online Experience. You can start from ~ 10th minute to see content administration.
Direct link: http://event.on24.com/r.htm?e=452133&s=1&k=FCDEB088AD5C4685EB385DBC59393F31&partnerref=odblog (requires registration).
"dropped into advanced UI." - There is no more advanced UI, there is an Admin UI and New tab-based Contributor Interface which merge an Insite and Dash and somehow Advanced Interfaces together.
BR,
Martins
