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.

  • Intelligent agent won't start

    We renamed the windows 2000 host on which Oracle lives and now the intelligent agent won't start. I cleared snmp_rw etc and rebooted but still no go any ideas?
    thx in advance.

    Thx Pete but the emca will effect the OEM repository I am looking for reconfig of the intelligent agent to reflect the new hostname.
    Daryl thx for the reminder. My DB is 9.2.0.1 on XP but the same rules apply as Unix. It turns out I missed deletion of one of the .q files which was enough to block auto-create on atleast one .q file and leave me hanging.
    These are the steps I took to fixit:
    1) shutdown the agent
    2) shutdown the listener
    3) delete snmp* files under network/admin
    4) delete .q files and services.ora under network/agent
    5) restart listener
    6) restart agent
    7) re-acquire DB through OEM discovery (success)
    Obviously the change of hostname has to be picked up by the IA's files. If the files do not exist at IA startup the IA creates them using current information from the host.
    thx to all.

  • SNMP oracle intelligent agent configuration

    Hi,
    i have a Linux installation with Orcale 8 DB and an intelligent

    I have problems to discover for services inside OEM (NT-Side)
    I got the error Failed to find node address"
    Who can shortly explain what must be configured.
    Or has somebody configuration Files which will work ?

    You mast start the intelligent Agent on the LINUX Box
    lsnrctl dbsnmp_start
    During the FIRST Startup the Agent generates its config files
    (snmp_ro.ora,snmp_rw.ora) itselve....
    You should complete your network configuration (LISTENER.ORA,
    TNSNAMES.ORA and ORATAB (all in lower case within unix)) befor
    starting the Agent the first time...

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

    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 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.

  • Oracle 9.2 OEM Data Gatherer won't connect to database agent

    I'm trying to get an older version of Enterprise Manager (9.2.0.1) Data Gatherer to work with one of our 9.2 databases. The agent is running on the server but when I try to connect to the database instance using Capacity Planner from the OEM Console I receive the error "java.net.ConnectionException: Connection Refused".
    We have opened port 1808 from the Windows server running the OEM Management Server to the Database server.
    What I need to know is : do we have to have port 1808 opened in both directions (oem server to database server & database server to oem server), for the Data Gatherer to work.

    Vendor code 17002 generally means a major network problem like invalid host or port number. Using ssh tunneling complicates the troubleshooting. It may be best to try to replicate the other machine setup as far as possible, including ssh setup, name resolution and sql developer configuration.
    These are the normal troubleshooting steps.
    Given a SQL Developer connection definition of DBSERVER, 1521, ORCL...
    Can you ping DBSERVER?
    Can you telnet to DBSERVER on port 1521 (telnet DBSERVER 1521). If you don't have windows telnet you can use a putty telnet session.
    I assume somewhere in your tunnelling setup you have something like locahost:1521 mapping to DBSERVER:1521. In that case you can replace localhost in the troubleshooting steps.

    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.

    Open up a console and login as oracle user. Execute these lines:
    $ cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/lib
    $ make -f ins_net_client.mk install
    Then edit the $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk file so that lines 13-14 change from:
    ctxhx: $(CTXHXOBJ)
    $(LINK) $(CTXHXOBJ) $(INSO_LINK)
    to
    ctxhx: $(CTXHXOBJ)
    $(LINK) -ldl $(CTXHXOBJ) $(INSO_LINK)
    Then do
    $ make -f $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk install
    Now you should be able to start your agents with
    $agentctl start

  • 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.

Maybe you are looking for
