Purging the Grid Control Repository database

Our Grid Control Repository database has grown large over time and we need to free up some space. When we remove targets, is all the data related to the target cleaned out?

When you remove targets, related data is removed. However, it is advisable to use the emd_maintenance package to clean up and reclaim space.

Cleaning up the Grid Control Repository Database

Our Grid Control Repository database has grown large over time and we need to free up some space. When we remove targets, is all the data related to the target cleaned out?

Double check your partition maintenance is working.
Deleting targets will delete the underlying data, but you may have to do some general database cleanup to reap the benefit in space terms.

Grid Control Repository

How to find that which database is having the Grid Control repository?
I have a server SAFLO1 on which there are around 20 database instances running.
I know the Agent Home but not able to find the repository database.

Look up file:
$OMS_HOME\sysman\config\emoms.properties
Where you find this line:
oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepConnectDescriptor=(DESCRIPTION\=(ADDRESS_LIST\=(ADDRESS\=(PROTOCOL\=TCP)(HOST\=hostconnect)(PORT\=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA\=(SID\=SID)))SID=Name of your rep. database.
Im sure its a better way to do this, maybe not. :)

Database limits for Grid control repository?

Document "Oracle® Database Licensing Information / 10g Release 2 (10.2)" [Part Number B14199-10] discusses the restricted use license of database for grid control repository and rman repository use.
nfrastructure Repository Databases A separate Oracle Database can be installed and used as a Recovery Manager (RMAN) repository without additional license requirements, provided that all the Oracle databases managed in this repository are correctly licensed. This repository database may also be used for the Oracle Enterprise Grid Control repository. It may not be used or deployed for other uses.
A separate Oracle Database can be installed and used as a Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control (OEM Grid Control) repository without additional license requirements, provided that all the targets (databases, applications, and so forth) managed in this repository are correctly licensed. This database may also be used for the RMAN repository. It may not be used or deployed for other uses.
There is no discussion of licensing requirements for options of the database (RAC, partitioning, etc) when the database stays within these repository use restrictions. Therefore it is unclear whether the Grid Control can be configured to provide appropriate monitoring without additional licenses.

This is the reply I received from release
management:
If they have deployed an EE edition of the database
as an OEM repository, and then want to protect that
with RAC or Data Guard, or make more Secure with ASO
or Database Vault, or indeed get any of the
additional benefits any of the options provide, then
they will need to license the option.
Let me know if that is still not clear, and I'll go
back again.Thanks.
There is a minor inconsistency in their response ... they say "if deployed on EE". However, as far as I know OEM repository required VPD, which is available only on Enterprise Edition (see http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B16240_01/doc/em.102/e10953/pre-installation_req.htm#CHDGIEAD)
However, it is quite clear that 'they' are telling us that the RAC option is not inherent in the "Special Use Licensing" as described http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/editions.htm#CJAHFHBJ .
The implication (not necessarily a topic for this forum) is that the OEM is not guaranteed to be able to provide basic monitoring and reporting functionality without additional license fees to make OEM more highly available than the targets being monitored.
It would be nice to have the information about which Oracle products (database and app server) have included licenses with a basic Grid Control install and which require additional licenses as part of Chapter 1 of http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b40010/toc.htm (That document goes into excruciating detail about the extra packs, but ignores the basics.)
For that matter, since OEM Grid Control can not be purchased, it would be nice to have a list of products that provide license to install Grid Control, again in Chapter 1 of the Grid Control Licensing document listed above.
I appreciate your time in having dug into this.

How can i confirm that i have the grid control ?

Hi,
I have oracle 10g database , we have dbconsole. But i don't know wherther we have the grid control or not ??? how can i check that ??
And one more thing , i have the oracle 817 databases , in need to register that database into the GRID . Can any one send me the proper doc. for 817 to install into grid control db.
$ emctl status dbconsole

I have oracle 10g database , we have dbconsole. But i
don't know wherther we have the grid control or not
??? how can i check that ?? What are you looking for exactly? What does "do we have the grid control" mean?
Did you download and install this?
A "default" install comes with three Oracle homes, with directories db10g, oms10g and agent10g in the 'basedir'. Kinda hard to miss...
With proper environment setup, you could try
$ emctl status oms
To manage Targets (as called in EM terms), you would install a Management Agent on each host to start monitoring hosts, listeners, databases, application servers, oc4j instances, and other types of targets. You "add hosts" via addition of agents.
And one more thing , i have the oracle 817 databases
, in need to register that database into the GRID .
Can any one send me the proper doc. for 817 to
install into grid control db.No need to send anything, the documentation is available here on OTN (look in the top menu "shortcuts", Documentation -> Enterprise Manager).
There are several options (version dependent of course) available for deploying agents. But you need a OMS + Repository first.
Further discussion probably belongs in the dedicated Enterprise Manager.

Replicating Grid Control Repository

Is it functionally possible to replicate the SYSMAN schema to a remote database for the purpose of managing the grid in a DRP scenario?
Specifically, I have a Data Guard environment (unable to use multi-master replication for this environment because of lack of primary keys... PeopleSoft) for two production databases with two remote sites. I'd like to use multi-master replication for the Data Grid Repository so that in the event of total loss of the primary site a secondary site can be quickly brought online (through Data Guard Failover) while using the Grid Control from the remote site.
Thanks

It will work only if the remote server have the same name as the local server. This scenario is same as moving the repository to a new server or changing the server name

The Grid control installer has inside an Oracle Server ?

Hi
The Grid control installer has inside an Oracle Server to create the Repository Database or I have to install and Oracle Server before ?
Thanks

I have installed both Grid Control and with GC 11g and WebLogic Server and I don't recall creating the respository before the install.
You will have to choose which install you are going to use. Grid Control 11g requires WebLogic Server install.

Upgrading Management Agents after upgrading the Grid Control to 10.2..0.5

Hello:
I am pretty new to implementing Grid control. I have been assigned the task of upgrading the Grid control to 10.2.0.5. I successfully upgraded the GC to 10.2.0.5. Now the next task is to upgrade the Agents running on other Database nodes. I have 6 databases running on Solaris 9.0 , few of them running on RHEL 5.0 x86, a few of them on RHEL 5.0 86*64. I am looking to upgrade these agents in one shot. Is there any way I can accomplish this from Grid control. If it is the case, then do I have to download and upload the patchsets for 10.2.0.5 for various platforms into the Grid Control.
I would be very happy if you could give me valid pointers which would help me to understand and move further.
Regards,
Bala

Yes you can upgrade the agent at one shot.Refer the following OBE

Data Guard - Grid Control - Standby database

Heys,
now I have to RAC Clusters. The next step would be to setup a standby database to prepare a graceful switchover.
But what are the next steps ?
I am currently installing GridControl on a seperate host with the option: Enterprise Manager10g Grid Control Using an Existing Database
The installation is still running....
What are the steps ? Any documentation ? Any tutorials ?
Do I need to install agents on each client in the cluster ?
What about the name resolution ?
Any listener configuration necessary ?
Is the configuration done via data guard command line ?
Christian

Bear in mind that the standby creation wizard in Grid Control will only create a non-RAC standby. Once you get to Grid Control 10.2.0.5 and your databases are in 11g you will be able to use the Grid Control convert to RAC wizard on your standby. Prior to that you will have to convert the standby to RAC manually or follow the above mentioned paper and create the standby by hand and then import it into Grid Control.

Overview of all the Grid Control Parts

It's pretty basic how the Grid Control database (OMR), Web Services (OMS) and agent components work together.
My questions is how these components use different tools such as PL/SQL, Java, OC4J, Application Express, XML and Perl to communicate and perform the work.
Can anyone point me to documentation for a BIG picture? Describe a overview how this component talks to that component.
What brings this up, is that I am doing an install. I see some Java errors and it is executing a perl script ConfigureGC.pl. What is really going on here?

Hi Sonja,
There is currently no way to do that, since there is no difference between the documents, linked or not. You can check the note 918386 which explains how this works exactly and why there is no way to know where the document was created originaly.
Kind regards,

Creating the DB Control Repository to the EBS...

Hi,
I want to create the DB Control Repository(OEM web-version) into the EBS system. Is the Document Id: 278100.1 the appropriate doc...????
Note: I use EBS 11.5.10 and DB 10.2.0.4
Thank you,
Sim

Sim,
This note should be enough (as stated above). However, you may also refer to the following note (though it is for R12, but it does also work with 11i since your database version is 10.2.0.4) for some other reported/knows issues that you may encounter when enabling OEM DB Control.
Note: 458533.1 - How to Enable Enterprise Manager on the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12

Whats the functional difference between dbconole and using the Grid control.

I know this may seem like a strange question, but I was wondering if I only have one instance on my server, would benefit would i gain if I installed and configured the grid control
over the dbconsole that comes with the 11gr2?
I know the Grid control can discover many databases, but what else can it do that the dbconsole cannot?
thanks!

Hi,
Indeed good question.
It depends on installation type you selected. But are responsible for user administration in terms of creating, deleting, updating and role assignment tasks to users and groups.
--CUA is meant for ABAP Installation. CUA is responsible for entire landscape user administration works with RFC connection talking to all ABAP systems
--UME is meant for Java installations, plus UME is responsible for handling communication between ABAP users and java users.
UME
For more details see below links all advantages and disadvantages of both systems and comparisons deliberately.

Hiding a column Attribute in the Grid Control in a DAC form.

Hi,
My RowsetInfo has a Image AttributeInfo and other kinds of AttributeInfo.I wanted to display the image in a seperate area in the form.The remaining Attributes would come in form as a detail grid.
However, since I bind the Grid control to my rowsetInfo, and also since my rowsetinfo has an image AttributeInfo, I see an Image column there(which ofcourse contains references to these Image objects!!).
I would want to hide this column in the grid.How do I go about it?Do I need to create a seperate rowsetinfo for the Image controlor there is a workaround for this?
Any ideas??
--Sandeep

Hi,
Going through the previous discussions in this forum, I had also tried the following :
JTable table = detailGrid.getTable();
TableColumnModel tableColumnModel =
table.getColumnModel();
table.removeColumn(tableColumnModel.
getColumn(1));
This doesnot seem to work.I get the following exception:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1 >= 0
java.lang.Object java.util.Vector.elementAt(int)
javax.swing.table.TableColumn
javax.swing.table.DefaultTableColumnModel.getColumn(int)
void DAC2Package.DAC2Frame.jbInit()
void DAC2Package.DAC2Frame.<init>()
void DAC2Package.DAC2Application.<init>()
void DAC2Package.DAC2Application.main(java.lang.String[])
Since I have quite a few number of columns in the GridControl, I shouldnot be getting this
exception in the first place.
Also, I donot understand why
tableColumnModel.getColumnCount() prints zero in the console.
Thanks in advance,
Sandeep

Access the gridview of the grid control

Hi all
It may seem a weird title, but this is exactly my problem.
I am using winforms with devexpress tool in my application. I want to access the selected row of a grid view from another form. so I used the following code:
foreach (XtraUserControl usrControl in splitContainerControl.Panel2.Controls)
                if (usrControl is MY_USER_CONTROL_NAME)
                    foreach (Control grid_control in usrControl.Controls)
                        if (grid_control is GridControl)
                            //up to this point i must be able to access the grid control, and after that access the grid
view by using
                            //the following statement as I found in other forum
                            GridView myView = grid_control.ViewCollection[0] as GridView;
the problem is I cannot get this ViewCollection[] property of the grid control
any help???

Hi khidir,
As far as I know, devexpress is not a Microsoft product, thus the issue of devexpress you could go to the official site of devexpress for professional support.
The link might be useful to you:
