Deploy Agent In Enterprise Manager 12c

After I post about how to install Oracle Enterprise manager ( em12c ) today i will talk how to deploy em12c agent

there’s two method to do that

1) Configuring Automatic Discovery
2) Adding targets Manually

I will describe the both 🙂 each one separately

Before deploy you need to decide if you want to use Oracle user or root user the below steps you have to do before using oracle :

[root@em12c ~]# vi /etc/sudoers

and change and add the following lines :
Comment this line :

#Defaults    requiretty

add the below line

oracle  ALL=(ALL)       ALL

and remove ! from this line :

Defaults   visiblepw

Now On em12c There’s something called privilege delegation

Privilege delegation allows a logged-in user to perform an activity with the privileges of another user. Sudo and PowerBroker are privilege delegation tools that allow a logged-in user to be assigned these privileges. These privilege delegation settings will be used for all provisioning and patching activities on these hosts.

Read more here.

in the screen below add these lines :
/usr/bin/sudo -u %RUNAS% %COMMAND%

/usr/bin/sudo —> location for sudo command.

 after all the above steps are done let’s configure Auto Discovery

Setup –> add target –> configure auto discovery  the below screen will open, choose the first option “Host and oracle vm manager Discovery using Ip scan”

 Press create Button

On add Button new Panel Will open , Choose your Host and Choose the Range Ip for scan The Format Mentioned above examples :

192.168.1.240-250
192.168.240/10
192.168.240,241

 Now you need to configure Job Summary

the job will start immeditaly as we choose press “Refresh Ip Scan Result” to check The result. you can check it also from here :

Check the Host

Next Post will be How to Add Agent Manually .

emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop

  • Change the below database parameters :

ALTER SYSTEM SET processes=300 SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET session_cached_cursors=200 SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET sga_target=2G SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET shared_pool_size=600M SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET pga_aggregate_target=1G SCOPE=SPFILE;

  • Restart Database.
  • create new folder to install em12c 

mkdir -p /u02/app/oracle/middleware/
cd /u02/app/oracle/middleware
mkdir om12c
mkdir agent12c 

  • you suppose to finish download unzip and start install (./runInstaller).

Check TimeZone Before Upgrades

Lot of question Regarding to TimeZone While Upgrade Oracle Database, You have to Check TimeZone When you have Data Or Schedule Job With Timezone info.

There are three Cases I will Describe them later In this article , but First You need to check Timezone

SQL> select version from v$timezone_file;

After Doing That you will Have Number As Output , This Number Should Compare to 4 ( value ) with Three below Cases :
1- Output =  4

You could Contuine with Upgrade without Do anything

2- Output >  4
Actions for the DSTv4 update in the 10.2.0.4 patchset [ID 553812.1]
Updated DST transitions and new Time Zones in Oracle Time Zone File patches [ID 412160.1]

3 – Output < 4 
You have to download utltzpv4.sqlfrom MOS (https://support.oracle.com)
With This Script also you have two case
if script returns no rows, there is nothing that needs to be done. Just proceed with the upgrade.

If script retunrs the detail of columns that contain TZ data which may be affected by the upgrade, then follow document Actions for the DSTv4 update in the 10.2.0.4 patchset [ID 553812.1]
