Where to install agents?

Hi,
I have following architecture:
- Server 1 - ODI installed with option Server
- Client 1 - ODI installed with option Client
- Client 2 - ODI installed with option Client
- Server 2 - Oracle DB installed - ODI Repositories created
- Server 3 - Oracle DB - source system
- Server 4 - MS SQL Server - source system
- Server 5 - Oracle DB installed - target system
I not sure where to install agents for this architecture:
- on Server 1?
or
- on Servers 3 or 4 (source systems)
or
- on Server 5 (target system)
What solution will be the best one in this case?
Thanks in advance!

It is best to install the agent as close to the target as possible. So, in your case it will be on Server 5.
Moreover, since you have only one target, then you have the advantage that you can install only one agent and it works.
Just keep in mind, that while installing the agent on the Server 5,
Server2, server3 and server4 should be visible to Server 5.
To explain more the above statement,
We have Filesystems FS1, FS2 on which the source files are located.
And the agent is located on ORADB1 which is the target Oracle DB. So, the filesystems FS1 and FS2 are visible to the system on which ORADB1 is installed and hence the agent on ORADB1 can also see the filesystems and hence access the files for processing.

  • How to use installed agent?

    Hi all,
       EM: 12.1.0.2
       Host: RedHat 6.3 64 bits
       DB: 11.2.0.3
       I have installed successfully the Grid Control 12c on HOST01. I suppose that the installation install all the Grid control 12c binaries and an agent in the host where the repository database is. What i want to know is how to use that installed agent to monitor the repository database? I tried to manually add a target to host HOST01, but an error appears to me saying that an agent is already installed on the machine. How to use that agent to monitor my repository database?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can discover (add) the repository database target to start monitoring it using the following steps:
    - Navigate to Setup > Add Target > Add Targets Manually
    - From the Add Targets Manually page, select Add Non-Host Targets Using Guided Process
    - From the Target Types drop-down list, select Oracle Database, Listener and Automatic Storage Management
    - Click Add Using Guided Discovery
    - From the Add Database Instance Target: Specify Host page, select the host where the repository resides, and click Continue
    - Follow the process to discover the repository database

  • I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again

    I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again it says that the "Object Already Exists."  It may exists, but it is not visible in the file or in my list of programs on the Startup Menu.

    You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
    Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
    What specific Window operating system are you using?
    Let us go through the usual drill...
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
    from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
    5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
    computer as Premiere Elements 13?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Where to install Thunderbird on Mac OSX for multiple users.

    Hello,
    I would like to install the email program Mozilla Thunderbird on my Mac OSX (10.4.6) computer which is set up with several different user accounts. I am not sure where to install it so that everyone may be able to use it. I would like to install it once so that everyone may use it rather than installing it multiple times (once for each user).
    As you might already know, in Mac OSX when you install a program in the main applications folder, it is available for everyone who uses the computer (available to all accounts). However, the trouble is, that although the actual Thunderbird program is available to all users the profile is not. The profile obviously is an important component of the Thunderbird mail program as it contains all the actual mail messages. When Thunderbird is installed, by default the profile folder is placed in the users home Library folder at:
    users home folder/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/<Profile name>/
    This location make it impossible for other users to access the profile and therefore Thunderbird will not work for the other users.
    What should I do?
    I have a couple solutions, however I would like to ask for some advice on what others do in this situation which I am sure is fairly common.
    Here are my solutions:
    1. Move the profile folder to a custom location that is accessible by all users in OSX such as the global Library folder (rather than the user's Library folder). Path of global Library folder:
    /library/
    Then let Thunderbird know it was moved to this custom location using Thunderbird's profile manager.
    2. Try to figure out a way in mac OSX that allows the profile folder at this default location:
    users home folder/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/<Profile name>/
    to be accessible by all users.
    Ownership and permissions need to be changed for the profile folder maybe?
    3. Install thunderbird multiple times - once for each user - each with their own profile. The problem with this is then there will be multiple installations of the same program and they will not be able to share the same profile folder - which is what I would like to do - if possible.
    I have a feeling that solution 1 is the more logical solution.
    PS I am using Mac OS 10.4.6 (Tiger) with Thunderbird 1.5.0.4
    Thanks for any advice.

    Yup, its me again Always seem to have a question for the group
    Thanks Mulder and Scott! I am sure glad I asked for your advice. I am completely new to the multi-user environment of OSX - as you can tell. (I guess I am still in OS9 thinking mode where there was only one user.)
    Scott wrote:
    "Mail can be configured to download any new email, but not remove it from the server until it is removed from the Mail application. This way, the email can be downloaded to multiple clients across multiple accounts."
    Interesting. Thanks for pointing this out Scott. Good to know. This would seem to me to be similar to IMAP in some ways. This would be a good way to work in a multi-user environment. This is good info to be aware of.
    It sounds like an interesting way to work.
    Thanks to both of you for steering me aware from the difficulty of attempting to place the profile folder outside the home directory. This sounds like it would have been more work than necessary.
    Why am I not using Apple's Mail program? Good question. I thought I would try out Thunderbird for a while - and maybe switch to Apple Mail later - just to see which one I prefer. I am a web developer and I have always liked the open source community and I thought it would be beneficial for me to become as familiar as possible with all the Mozilla products (Firefox and Thunderbird). As well, it keeps me somewhat on the same wavelength as my PC friends, of whom many use this program too. I don't want to be too much out of touch with my mac. I might try Mail later. Thunderbird has been great so far. It has excellent spam recognition abilities and you can train it too to detect spam.
    Scott the "Family account" idea is an awesome idea. Thanks.
    I have learned a lot from this post. This gives me a few logical solutions. As Mulder points out it is best to keep users' profiles separate. This makes it simpler. Excellent advice. I could still install the Thunderbird application in the global application folder and then each user account can open this Thunderbird application from their own account and configure the mail client with their own profile. All users will be using the same Thunderbird application but with their own profiles. Yes, thats it. I tried this out and it seems to work now - didn't seem to work earlier because I didn't know what I was doing
    Another idea could be, if I really need to share one single profile, would be to follow Scotts advice and just set up a "Family account". Very simple solution. Nice idea.
    So, those are the two top solutions.
    Furthermore, I could use a mix of both strategies. For mail accounts that could be shared ([email protected]) I could create a "Family account" in OSX, as Scott detailed above, and then for mail accounts that are for each individual user ([email protected]), I could be sure they have separate profiles as detailed in Mulder's post.
    Thanks for all these helpful ideas!

  • I just downloaded iPhoto 9.5 to replace my old ver. 7.x.  Downloaded the library upgraded but have no idea where it installed as it is not listed in Applications.  Opened iPhoto added my Library (12.5 GB) but iPhoto shows no pictures.

    I just downloaded iPhoto 9.5 to replace my old ver. 7.x.  Downloaded the library upgraded but have no idea where it installed as it is not listed in Applications.  Opened iPhoto added my Library (12.5 GB) but iPhoto shows no pictures. In fact, iPhoto indicates that I have zero photos in the library while at the same time indicating the file size as 12.5 GB.

    If your old iPhoto version was iPhoto 7, you need to run the iPhoto Library upgrader:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1523
    It will install itself in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder.
    Run it, and after that, you should be able to open your iPhoto Library with iPhoto '11.

  • No option where to install XP

    I have Leopard on my mini and formatted my drive for XP. When the XP install gets to the blue screen asking where to install, I do not get the options where to install mentioned in the BootCamp instructions, I just get Windows asking what to do (install, repair, quit). I cannot get out of this screen at this juncture. I take out the disc and then I get the "unbootable drive..." message.
    Does anyone experience the same?
    Thanks

    I have the same problem. I don't get an option on which partition to install Windows too, even though I have successfully created a bootcamp partition (as it can be seen in my desktop).
    I only get the 1 partition (which is the Mac partition) to select.
    I only have this problem with my new iMac. I don't have the problem with my Macbook

  • Advice needed on where to install Bpel 10.1.3 (we use OracleAS 10.1.2)

    If I understand correctly, Bpel 10.1.3 cannot be installed on the middle tier of OracleAS 10.1.2. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to upgrade OracleAS at this point in time, but we want to use Bpel 10.1.3. I understand that Bpel portlets can be "deployed" from Bpel 10.1.3 and used in OracleAS 10.1.2, so this is good.
    Would it be feasible to use the Bpel Process Manager 10.1.3 Developers version with Oracle Lite (Windows) in a production environment? If so, I can use Jdeveloper to create the bpel, deploy the process to the windows box with bpel process manager 10.1.3 with Oracle Lite, deploy the Bpel portlets and use them in OracleAS 10.1.2 ...
    Given the goal of developing BPEL 10.1.3 processes and using the bpel portlets in OracleAS 10.1.2, and suggestions on where to install Bpel 10.1.3 and what version to install?
    Thanks in advance -

    Hi,
    if you install both on the same server, you should plan:
    which ports you want to assign to which iAS
    is there enough RAM?
    "they should not conflict with each other?"
    no. but test it, like everything you want to use in production.
    Yes, you can install it on a middle tier (just read the installation guides....)

  • Install agent on solaris 10 using agent deploy application?

    Hi all,
    I have installed 10g grid control on solaris 10 with new repository database on same machine.
    The OMS, and agent is running on grid host.
    Now I want to add other hosts (targets) into grid. For this, I have to install agent on target hosts. I am using agent deploy application method for installation of agent.
    It is giving error
    Istall --> Failed
    "Pre-Install Script is Not Executed, Install is Failed, Run root.sh is Not Executed, Post-Install Script is Not Executed, Collection of Logs is Success"
    version for agent and OMS is 10.2.0.1 and for repository database is 10.1.04
    any idea, how to troubleshoot this?

    Did you get answer? I had same problem on agent 10.2.0.4 deployment on linux 2.6.9-55.ELsmp.

  • Is there a SCOM install agent for SLES on PPC64?

    Is there a SCOM install agent for SLES on PPC64?
    Trying to install an agent for SCOM on Suse VM units that are hosted on IBM's power 7 hardware.
    While i do see .ppc AIX agent installers I do not see one for SLES on ppc64.
    Has anyone installed SCOM on SLES ppc64 or know of a viable agent for the install?

    To elaborate a bit, Microsoft definitely does not offer an agent for SLES on PowerPC.  Linux has been ported to a lot of different processor chip architectures, which is great.  But Intel x86/x64 is by far the most popular, and it's the only
    chip architecture for which Microsoft supplies an agent for monitoring Linux.  As you noted, there is an agent for AIX on PowerPC, but AIX is a very different operating system from Linux, and the agent for AIX on PPC will not work on Linux on PowerPC.
    I don't see Microsoft doing an agent for Linux on PowerPC.  We would need to see a significant business opportunity for that to change.
    I would note that the source code for the OpsMgr agent for Linux/UNIX is available at
    http://scx.codeplex.com, along with instructions on how to compile and build the agent.  Someone with developer skills in C++, compilers, makefiles, etc. could definitely build an agent for SLES on PowerPC.  For
    example, I'm aware of someone who has built an agent for Linux running on the IBM S/390 (z-Series) chip architecture running as a guest under zOS and has it working with SC 2012 OpsMgr.   But you would be on your own,
    perhaps with help from the community, to make that happen.

  • Ran installation asst. several times for XI and at the end of the download, nothing happened. No prompt for where to install the trial program.  Don't know why. No error msg. NADA. This is most annoying!

    RAn install asst. for XI several times.  Download completedwith no error msgs.  No promp for where TI install trial.  Nothing!
    now what?  I think there is a major flaw with this utility?  I used to beta test for Microsoft so am no computer novice. 
    I need answeres
    THank you

    Listen up, Bill!
    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate and Internet Explorer version 11 (latest) –
    I used to beta test for Microsoft (among a plethora of software developers)
    and am no stranger to installing software. Did it all the time (at home and
    at work).
    The Acrobat Install assistant leaves a lot to be desired, I’m afraid.  The
    last time I ran it from the web site on my PC, it asked where to install and
    the default is PROGRAM FILES.  What it was saving to that location was the
    actual install assistant – NOT the trial version of Acrobat XI – therein
    lies the difference.
    Will try your suggestion, however, and thanks for the link.
