Update:: New OTN Mass Agent Deployment page

Hello Everyone,
We have been seeing lot of customers downloading wrong Agent software from the OTN for the respective platforms and then in turn the installation fails.
So we have revamped the OTN mass agent deployment page and came up with new page(http://www.oracle.com/wocportal/page/wocprod/ver-DRAFT/ocom/technology/software/products/oem/htdocs/agent/test-otn_0.html), which is Live now.
The new page classifies the Agent software based on the platforms names (32 / 64 bit) and further classifies based on the Agent releases.
This will leave us with no gap of downloading the wrong agent software for a 32 or 64 bit platform.
Thanks and Regards
Akanksha

I don't know if it is possible to uninstall the agent from the GUI. We don't have the provisioning pack. I guess it may be possible to create a job that would run the installer in silent mode to do an un-install. We have just done them interactively on the target server - going under agent_home/oui/bin & running the installer. Then if there is anything left over from the agent_home, after the installer updates the central inventory file.
If run the install interactively on the target server, you should get a meaningful error message. I would guess that it sees that the agent already exists from the inventory. You could try launching the installer from the oracle server software home & then remove the "orphaned" agent home.
Thanks,
Brian

Mass Agent Deployment, fails when install

After trying to install, sometimes not only one, the Mass Agent Deployment, release 10.1.0.3, in Linux RED HAT 3 ES/AS, when trying to run runInstaller, I have ever the same response, 'TMP directory is full or cannot write files in Orainst<timestamp> directory, needing 60 MB of free space.
I have 16 GB of free space.
Any help?
thanks in advanced.
regards.

I solved it by doing following steps on the OMS server:
# unzip <OMS_HOME>/agent_download/10.2.0.1.0/hpunix/prereqs/prereq_hpunix.jar
# cd /oracle/product/oms10g/sysman/agent_download/
# cd 10.2.0.1.0/hpunix/prereqs/prereqs/agent
# vi oui_refhost.xml
In this file replace the <PACKAGE VALUE= lines for something you have already installed, I used the secure shell package, which you must have installed to use agent deployment:
<OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<VERSION VALUE="B.11.11"/>
<ARCHITECTURE VALUE="PA_RISC2.0"/>
<NAME VALUE="HP-UX"/>
<VENDOR VALUE="HP Corp"/>
<PACKAGES>
<PACKAGE VALUE="T1471AA" VERSION="0.0" />
<PACKAGE VALUE="Secure_Shell" VERSION="0.0" />
</PACKAGES>
# zip -r prereqs.zip META-INF
# zip -r prereqs.zip prereqs
# mv prereqs.zip prereq_hpunix.jar
After doing this retry the procedure.

Mass Agent Deployment

Can I download and install Mass Agent Deployment 10.2.0.4 on my target host instead of install agent 10.2.0.2 then upgrade agent to 10.2.0.4?
any diffrence?
Thanks.

if the agent is available for your platform for mass agent deployment (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oem/htdocs/agentsoft.html) then this is possible.

SCOM 2012 R2 Agent Deployment - Uninstall Old and Install New

By chance anyone come up with a scripted method for removing an existing SCOM 2012 SP1 agent and installing a new 2012 R2 agent? While I've come across a few scripts I'm trying to kill a few birds with one stone. This is a cross-domain attempt where the
SCOM servers sit in one domain and the member servers are scattered across multiple domains. Member servers range from Windows Server 2003, 2008, and 2012. In most cases the servers have the 2012 SP1 agent installed and in some cases there are multiple management
groups from previous SCOM standups. In addition there's a separate DEV SCOM 2012 R2 environment to manage DEV/QA servers. Active Directory Integration is configured and I have the necessary security groups created. There is a group policy created which is
filtered to just that security group. So the plan is to simply drop the servers into the correct group and have the agent installed via group policy start up script. ADI should have DEV servers appear in DEV SCOM and PROD in PROD SCOM.
Although there are ways to facilitate agent deployment via the console I need to perform a staged migration against a ton of server so as to not impact the existing production environment. So I'd rather do this remotely to pre-selected servers. This process
should involve removing the existing agent, installing the new one, and if possible removing any existing management groups. So far I've come up with the following:
Uninstall SCOM Agent:
%WinDir%\System32\msiexec.exe /x <path>\MOMAgent.msi /qb
Install SCOM Agent:
msiexec.exe /i \\path\Directory\MOMAgent.msi /qn /l*v \logs\MOMAgent_install.log USE_SETTINGS_FROM_AD=0 MANAGEMENT_GROUP=<MG_Name> MANAGEMENT_SERVER_DNS=<MSDNSName> ACTIONS_USE_COMPUTER_ACCOUNT=0 ACTIONSUSER=<AccountUser> ACTIONSDOMAIN=<AccountDomain>
ACTIONSPASSWORD=<AccountPassword>
Remove Management Group via Script
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Remove-a-Management-group-336c849a/view/Discussions#content
I'm guessing this wheel has already been invented or maybe there's a better way. So I'm open to ideas or suggestions.
Any responses appreciated.

Wow! 4 days and no responses, not good Microsoft SCOM Community. So here's a status on this issue.
As stated I have Active Directory Integration configured which means:
I see the OperationsManager container in AD: dev_scom
I see the HealthService SCP and separate OU's for each of my management servers.
I have an ADI security group containing my management servers and scom action account.
I have an Agent security group which will contain servers the scom agent will be deployed via group policy.
I also have an AD LDAP query set to target the SCOM agent group.
(&(objectCategory=group)(name=DSCOM_ADI))
I finally get the script to install via the following steps:
Reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754995.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770556.aspx
http://blog.coretech.dk/msk/install-a-scom-2012-agent-silent/
1. Launch Notepad ++ and enter the following:
msiexec /i
\\server.yourdomain.com\opsmgragent\%Processor_Architecture%\MOMAgent.msi USE_SETTINGS_FROM_AD=1 MANAGEMENT_GROUP=DEV_SCOM MANAGEMENT_SERVER_DNS=YourSCOMsrvr1.yourdomain.com ACTIONS_USE_COMPUTER_ACCOUNT=0 USE_MANUALLY_SPECIFIED_SETTINGS=0 ACTIONSUSER=svc_dscom
ACTIONSDOMAIN=yourdomain ACTIONSPASSWORD=YourPassword! AcceptEndUserLicenseAgreement=1 /qn /l*v c:\scom2012r2mmainstall.log
2. Save the script to a name of your choice. For me it's installdopsmgragent.cmd. Watch the extensions as you may end up saving it as installdopsmgragent.cmd.txt.
Note: Make note of this steps in the reference articles listed above:
"In the Add a Script dialog box, do the following:
In the Script Name box, type the path to the script, or click Browse to search for the script file in the Netlogon shared folder on the domain controller."
It's been a while since having to use a startup script so it took me a minute to figure this out. "getting too old 'fer this..."
3. Copy the script to the Netlogon folder which is located in the following directory on my Windows 2012 server: E:\SYSVOL\sysvol\yourdomain.com\scripts
4. Launch the group policy management console, create a new policy, edit it, and navigate to the following location:
Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)
5. Double-click Startup to open the Startup Properties window.
6. Click Add and browse to the location of the script which you copied to the Netlogon share.
7. Click OK to close the Startup Properties window.
8. Close the Group Policy Management Editor.
9. Link the policy to an OU containing the servers.
10. Add the SCOM Agent group to the Security Filtering area of the group policy. I also remove Authenticated Users.
Note: make sure you have a few test servers in your Agent security group.
11. Drop to a command line and run gpupdate /force. You can also use gpupdate /force /sync but you will have to reboot the box you're running this from.
12. Log into one of the servers you have slated to deploy the agent to, drop to a command line, and run the same gpupdate command.
13. Follow this with a gpresult /r command to ensure that you see the policy applied in the Computer Settings area.
14. Reboot the server and you should see the startup script run.
15. Log into the server and launch the Control Panel.
16. If all went well you'll see the "Microsoft Monitoring Agent" icon.
17. Launch Event Viewer, navigate to the Operations Manager events node located under Applications and Services Logs and validate the logs.
17. If all didn't go well check the error log located, for me, on the C:\scom2012r2mmainstall.log
My issue: I don't see the management info in the Agent properties.
I installed this last night and waited until the next day still no changes. Event logs show the following:
Event ID: 2011 The Health Service did not find any policy in Active Directory
Event ID: 2003 No management groups were started. This may either be because no management groups are currently configured or a configured management group failed to start. The Health Service will wait for policy from Active Directory configuring
a management group to run.
I see the HealthService is Running in Task Manager on this server and of course I don't see anything listed in the Management Groups registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HealthService\Parameters\
I don't want to manually add the management group info. Checking as I may have missed something in one of the switches.
Any responses appreciated.

Oracle Enterprise Manager Agent deployment (Installation and Configuration) Error

Hello,
I am trying to create an agent on a linux server using Oracle Enterprise Manager 12.1.0.3. The user is created with root privilege on the server, by change /etc/sudoers entry username the same as the root entry. After that I tried to add host target by clicking Setup->Add Target->Add target Manually->Add Host Targets in the Oracle Enterprise Manager.
In the Add Target view: I clicked on add, then I entry host and platform information. After that I click next. Then I provided the Linux x86-64 : Installation Details for
Installation Base Directory, Instance Directory, Name Credential ... then click next. then click Deploy Agent.
In the Add Host Status view: stages Initialization and Remote Prerequisite Check successfully passed, but in the stage Agent Deployment, it failed in the Installation and Configuration phrase of the Agent Deployment stage.
The log content is shown below. There are numerous SEVERE Errors. But I don't have much experience in dealing with these type of problems. I thank you in advance for all the helps.

We have done the following, but we aren't able to resolve this issue. Thank you for your help!

“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?

[Error in news] Please update news 2012-07-14 "/lib becomes symlink"

Hi,
Could someone please update the news article on the front page from 2012-07-14 regarding "The /lib directory becomes a symlink"? The instructions in it are no longer accurate, and following them results in a broken system.
If you can add the following lines from the DeveloperWiki, it would be perfect:
Note: for installs that have not been updated to glibc-2.16, it will save you lots of time and prevent major breakage to do:
pacman -U http://pkgbuild.com/~allan/glibc-2.16.0 … pkg.tar.xz
where <arch> is replaced by i686 or x86_64 as required. Add a single "-d" if needed. Then proceed with
*** INSTRUCTIONS THAT ALREADY ARE IN THE NEWS ***
(Yes, I know I should keep my system up to date, but I have servers that I only upgrade every once in a while. Following the instructions in the news usually works, but not in this case.)
AsmundEr

On such a server, assuming you don't want to be following Arch developments like a hawk, another distribution would serve you better. Arch is not some sort of 'best for everything' distro, the devs WILL willingly break things if there's a reason to, and in a period like the past year or so with so many changes mainly influenced by upstream, anyone who lags more than half a year behind is going to be caught in the 'special zone' of having to deal with more than one major change at once.
You CAN do that. You just need to know more about it than you would if you were updating every week (Allan says he uses Arch on his servers, but then again he knows what's happening in Arch, of course).

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
It doesn't sound like you "changed" your Apple ID, sounds like you created a new one. Bad idea. All content bought with an Apple ID is forever tied to that ID. The ID that bought the content is the only ID that can update the content. Apple does not merge IDs not does Apple transfer content from one ID to another.

While App Store tells me there is no update avalable to Pages, which it says was installed Nov. 4, its the old Avatar/logo thingo and, as I say, it will not open the Pages docs created on my MacBook, which definiitely does have the new Pages running smoothly.
cheers

Why cant I find an add-on to open a new tab in my home page on Firefox 5?

I have been able to open a new tab in my home page (Google in my case) in all of the other versions of Firefox. I am a loyal user but this is frustrating. I cannot locate an add-on for this feature. Is there something out there?

You can use one of the following IF you also install the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, below (the developers need to update one line of their code to make them compatible with Firefox 5).
*http://sogame.awardspace.com/newtaburl/
*https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/777
The following Add-on adds a "Compatibility" button in your Add-ons > Extensions that you may need to click after installing it and restarting Firefox.

ERROR: Updatable SQL Query already exists on page 20.

Hello,
I created a tabular form, then added a where clause and started getting the following error:
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: no data found in tabular form
So I deleted all components of the tabular form (region, buttons, branches and process) and started building it again from scratch. This is a strategy that has worked for me a number of times in HTML DB. Unfortunately now I get the following error when trying to build a new tabular form:
Updatable SQL Query already exists on page 20.You can only add one updatable SQL query per page. Select a different page.
What is the logic that throws this error. I'm 99% convinced I've cleared the page of any updatable SQL, is there something on the application level I should also clear out?
Thanks!

Ignore this, problem solved. It seems I do have SQL reports that are marked as updatable even though they are just plain reports.
Sorry.

I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

How can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?

Today I update firefox to 13.0. I like the new "new type". I want to konw how can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?
I don't want to change the homepage to about:newtab.
Sorry for my bad English.

This is a very annoying thing. Every update from Firefox resets this config setting back to about:newtab. I changed '''''browser.newtab.url''''' in 12.x to '''''about:blank''''' and it resetted back in update 13.0 and now I have to do the same thing again in 13.0.1.
The drawback with about:newtab is Firefox opens up dataports for every URL that are linked and gets reopened for every lame 'newtab' you click on. Just use [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx Tcpview - data port viewer] and watch how many extra dataports that opens up from this crazy 'feature'.

How to recover from failed 12c agent deployment

Greetings,
I am in the process of upgrading to OEM 12c using the 2-System method and I am slowly making progress. Using the OEM 12c Upgrade Console I was able to get the Deploymnet/Configuration step to succeed but the Check Agent Readiness Step failed. I found the error in the <Agent_Instance_Home>/sysman/log/gcagent.log file on the target machine - ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor.
Once I resolve that is it simply a matter of going to the Upgrade Console -> Deploy and Configure Agents page, select the cleanup failed deployments tab and go from there or is there something else I must do. I haven't been able to find specific instructions on how to proceed in such a situation.
Thank you.
Bill Wagman

Hi Bill,
Yes your understanding is correct, just slect the option " cleanup failed deployments " while doing the agent deployment and it will take care of everything.
I also see that you have posted few queries in the forum about EM upgrade , i suggest you open an SR with oracle support , so that they can guide you through the upgrade process and help you in case of any issues. In case you have already opened an SR with support then pls ignore this suggestion. :)

I have completed a software update as prompted. However, all "Pages" and "Numbers" files are completely blank. Please advise

Hi... Sorry for delay. I've been away working.
I have just completed another software update as prompted again, and I'm still having problems.
Nearly all my software won't open. It doesn't matter if it's relatively old software I brought over from my last Mac or new software I've purchased from the App store within the last year or two. It always says whatever software I'm trying to open has "quit unexpectedly"
My Mail, App store, Stickies and Safari seem to work, but most other things won't.
I've run a verify disk permissions and a repair disk permissions, but this message appears... Maybe it is a clue to the problem if you understand these things:
Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
Please advise...
Best wishes
Anton
