Oracle8i Intelligent Agent (READ THIS)

I renew my request for anyone that has gotten the 8i Intelligent
Agent to work, to please explain how they did it...and for
anyone else who could not get it to compile with TCL 7.5 to
please at least let me know other people are having the same
problem.
If you are an Oracle employee, please explain how you are
supposed to get this to work....the directions in the
installation manual are just plain wrong or at best incomplete.
(Or I am an idiot and didn't follow them correctly). PLEASE
HELP.
Thanks in advance,

I'm having the same problem. Does anyone out there have a
solution?
I am running RedHat Linux 6.0 straight out of the box. The only
change I made was to set the kernel parameters according to the
release notes and recompile the kernel.
P.S. Oracle deserves our thanks for providing free developer
licenses to so many of its products, but this is the buggiest
install I've ever seen in my 12 years of working with their
products. Didn't anyone from Oracle test the install? This
problem and the zero length libnjni8.so file are the real
doozies.
I've followed the release notes and installation guide to the
letter and have found several documentation / distribution bugs
that should have leapt out at the first person who tried it.

    There are several issues in the makefile:
    1. Continuation lines are commented out so that the command is
    incomplete.
    2. When removing the comments, there are duplicate object files
    (.o), one library is missing (aio), and there remain some
    undefined symbols.
    I sorted them all out and redefined the two targets:
    oemevent:

    In addition the variable LDFLAGS has to be modified:
    LDFLAGS = -L$(LIBHOME) -L$(LIBHOME) -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/rdbms/lib
    -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/network/lib
    #LDFLAGS = -R$(LIBHOME) -L$(LIBHOME)
    -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/rdbms/lib -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/network/lib
    I haven't checked the whole functionality of dbsnmp yet, but it
    now links 'about' clean. I left the original lines there for
    reference.
    Hope that helps.

  • Is the intelligent agent mandatory ?

    Hi everybody,
    I want to supervise Oracle database 7.3.4.3.1 on Dynix 4.4.2 server with OEM.
    I see on the OEM architecture that we need an intelligent agent on Node to supervise.
    Does someone know if the intelligent agent is mandatory for OEM ?
    If it is, does someone know if there is an agent available on Dynix Sequent for this version of Oracle ??
    Or can we use a new version of intelligent agent to supervise the 7.3.4 Database ?
    Thank you for your help
    Jean-christophe

    Does someone know if the intelligent agent is mandatory for OEM ?
    Yes, it its mandatory for the Management Server to do its best. When you use the Intelligent Agent, the Management Server can also use an OEM toolset, which can include, Oracle Expert, Index Analyzer, Capacity Planner, which require access to the OEM repository. Without the agent running, this is not possible. The Agent works based on the SNMP protocol.
    If it is, does someone know if there is an agent available on Dynix Sequent for this version of Oracle ??
    I do not know. Yet you could install OEM in any platform (Windows, Unix, OpenVMS, etc) and still control your database server as needed. SNMP does this for you, and when you install OEM, you can either connect to an existing repository (in your database server) or create a new one. In 9i you have the option of having your own OEM database. I recommend Windows for OEM, even when you run a Unix database, unless you have a business constraint, it tends to be user friendly and at least for me, I typically get later versions handy in Windows NT/2000 than for Solaris or HP-UX, etc in my environment.
    Or can we use a new version of intelligent agent to supervise the 7.3.4 Database ?
    It is my understanding that later versions of the agent can control older versions of the database, with some contraints. You need to refer to the OEM documentation for details, as to what you need to do. I have been able to control databases from 8i (Release 2 and 3) /9i (Release 1) with earlier versions of Oracle8, namely, 8.0.3 (beta), 8,0.5, and 8.0.6, not 7.3.x. Before, I hand used a native configuration with OEM 2.x and 7.3.3 at an earlier time only.

  • Intelligent Agent: trouble starting it

    Hi,
    I've installed Oracle8 Enterprise Edition successfully on a
    Debian Potato (glibc2.1) system.
    Everything works just fine, except for the Intelligent Agent.
    I first tried to start it with:
    lsnrctl dbsnmp_start
    The errormessage I received was:
    DBSNMP Discovery Error: Couldn't read file "./oracle_olympia": no
    such file or directory
    I changed the reference to "./oracle_olympia" in the
    $ORACLE_HOME/network/agent/config/nmiconf.lst file to
    $ORACLE_HOME/network/agent/tcl/init.tcl (just a guess, is this a
    correct thing to do?), but then it gave me the following:
    DBSNMP Discovery Error: no library has been specified for Tcl
    So I got myself tcl7.5 (I was running tcl8.1.1) and copied
    libtcl7.5.a to $ORACLE_HOME/network/lib/
    I even put that path into /etc/ld.so.conf and did an ldconfig.
    Still the same error.
    In the tracefile I get:
    creating package index
    -<ERROR>- failed to initialize init.tcl, error 1
    -<ERROR>- Tcl result:
    n: transport is open
    Well, I'm out of stuff to try.
    Anyone have an idea on what to do?

  • 8.1.7 Intelligent Agent on Redhat Linux 6.2

    Hello,
    Can anyone help?
    My OEM fails to discover a Redhat Linux node but I can manually configure it (so the node address must be OK). When I check that the agent is running (lsnrctl dbsnmp_agent) it says that the db subagent is already running. If there is something obvious, I've probably missed it because I'm relatively new to both Oracle and Linux/Unix. Any clues, please?

    I found this reply on Oracle Metalink and it worked for me (looks like agent on Linux for some reason does not use default ports:
    On IA nodes, edit the snmp_rw.ora file and add the following lines :
    DBSNMP.ADDRESS = (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<ip-address>)(PORT=1748))
    DBSNMP.SPAWNADDRESS = (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<ip-address>)(PORT=
    1754))
    where <ip-address> is the IP-Address of the node to be discovered.
    Note: ports 1748/1754 must be open for the OMS to communicate with the Agent.
    The OMS starts communication on ports 1748 and 1754 to get the discovery
    information from the Intelligent Agent.
    The ports 1748 and 1754 are dedicated for the Intelligent Agent, and should
    not be used by any other program.
    Ports used by the Intelligent Agent:
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    During the discovery phase, the Communication Daemon OMS
    will contact the Intelligent Agent via the ports 1748 and 1754 and retrieve
    the discovery information.
    Port 1748 is used for the basic communication, while the port 1754 is
    used for file transfer. The communication is always initiated from the
    Communication Daemon or OMS towards the Intelligent Agent.
    The ports are hardcoded in the Intelligent Agent and should not be altered
    in any way. The ports are referenced in the snmp_rw.ora file as:
    dbsnmp.address=(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=somehostname)(port=1748))
    dbsnmp.spawnaddress=(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=somehostname)(port=1754))
    The meaning of the dbsnmp.address and dbsnmp.spawnaddress are solely to
    determine the resolution path for the Enterprise Manager framework to get
    in touch with the Intelligent Agent, and should not be used to specify
    other ports.

  • 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 :)

  • Intelligent Agent doesn't work

    Hi dear colleagues,
    I got a problem with the Intelligent Agent.
    I installed Oracle 8i EE 8.1.5 and OEM 2.1 on Windows 2000 server. When I
    try to discover the databases with OEM, OEM could only find the node, it could
    not find any database. So I thought maybe the Agent got some problem. I
    opened the log file nmiconf.log, the following is the message in it:
    DBSNMP for 32-bit Windows: release 8.1.5 - Production on 13-MAY-02 20:04:18
    Warning : Listener LISTENER defined in H:\Oracle\Ora81\network\admin\listener.ora will be skipped because, it does not have a corresponding NT service entry
    Warning : Skipping OracleOraHome81TNSListener : Couldnot find corresponding listener definition in {H:\Oracle\Ora81\network\admin\listener.ora}
    Warning : No Listener found for SID SIDDB1. SIDDB1 will be skipped
    Warning : No Listener found for SID SIDDB3. SIDDB3 will be skipped
    But I don't know where and how to create a NT service entry corresponding to
    the listener LISTENER. Please help me!
    Thanks!
    Wendell

    I think there is no problem with the intelligent agent. It seems to be a problem with your net8 configuration. I think the problem could be caused by several reasons:
    1. Your listener is not configured properly: the listener.ora file should contain a valid service entry for the database (you can do this with the net8 assistant provided by oracle. Normally it should be installed by default)
    2. The agent looks in the wrong listener.ora file for a service entry. So do you have more then one ORACLE_HOME and more the one listener.ora file on the node?
    3. Do you have more then one network interface and are you working with more then one hostname alias? That could also cause a problem. It could be a solution to replace the hostname in the host=name part of the listener.ora file with the right!! IP adress. May be you have to test all the IP adresses of your node.

  • 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,

  • INTELLIGENT AGENT PROBLEM RECOVERY ON NT

    제품 : ORACLE SERVER
    작성날짜 : 1997-12-16
    The Oracle Intelligent Agent 7.3.3 on NT is self-configuring and
    requires TCP/IP fully configured on the NT system.
    The Agent's startup algorithm:
    When the agent is started, the startup process reads the LISTENER.ORA,
    TNSNAMES.ORA and NT REGISTRY. It compares the values stored in each location.
    If any discrepencies exist, the agent service will either not start
    or service discovery will not occur.
    Starting the Intelligent Agent:
    1. Verify the Sqlnet configuration files are correct:
    - All sid entries in the LISTENER.ORA must have valid TCP/IP service
    descriptors defined in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
    - The TNSNAMES.ORA should not contain service descriptors for local
    sides not defined in the LISTENER.ORA file.
    - TCP/IP must be fully configured on the system.
    2. NT 4.0: Click on START->SETTINGS->CONTROL PANEL->SERVICES.
    Highlight the service ORACLEAGENT. Click on the START button.
    NT 3.51: Find the MAIN program group.
    Click on CONTROL PANEL->SERVICES.
    Highlight the service ORACLEAGENT. Click on the START button.
    ***NOTE: If the 7.3.3 agent will not start, verify the OEM version
    is not 1.4.
    If the version is 1.4, install the 8.0.3 Intelligent Agent.
    Agent troubleshooting tips:
    1. Verify TCP/IP is configured correctly.
    - At a dos prompt, type HOSTNAME.
    This is the actual configured TCP/IP HOSTNAME of the system.
    - Verify the hostname resolved by the agent. The DBSNMP.ADDRESS
    parameter in the ORANT/network/snmp_rw.ora contains this
    information.
    If the file does not contain the actual hostname, TCP/IP is not
    properly configured on the system or the network.
    2. Correcting TCP/IP configuration problems:
    - Edit the WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and lmhosts files.
    (*NOTE: If these files have never been used, only sample files will
    exist in the directory. Either rename or copy the .sam files
    to just the file name with no extention.)
    - Follow the example below (replace the information in brackets
    with the actual host information for that system.):
    HOSTS file:
    <122.111.111.111> <hostname>
    LMHOSTS file:
    <122.111.111.111. <netbios name or hostname> #PRE
    - Delete the ORANT\network\agent\*.q and SERVICES.ORA files.
    (*NOTE: The *.q files hold information about jobs and events.
    Do not delete these files without first removing all jobs
    and events registered against this agent.)
    - Delete the $ORACLE_HOME\network\admin\SNMP_RO.ORA and      
    SNMP_RW.ORA files.
    - Restart the agent at a DOS prompt:
    NET START ORACLEAGENT
    3. Check the NT EVENT VIEWER->APPLICATIONS->LOG for any errors
    starting the DBSNMP process.
    4. Check the ORANT/NETWORK/LOG/NMICONF.LOG file for other possible
    errors.
    5. If using NTFS, check permissions to the \orant\network directory
    structure.

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.
