Hi All

we gonna talk about Bug in oracle 10.2.0.4 , 10.2.0.5 since its unable to start enterprise manager after run
“emctl start dbconsole”

CONFIG: Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control Release 10.2.0.4.0 Copyright (c) 1996, 2007 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved. https://myhost:5501/em/console/aboutApplication Starting Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control ................................................ failed

This error appear because the SSL certification has been end .
But the question is what can i do ?

Forget Enterprise manager and start using command line

Not just kidding

What if we try to recreate it again ?

emca -config dbcontrol db -repos recreate


Enter the following information:

Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control Release 10.2.0.1.0 Copyright (c) 1996, 2005 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved. https://myhost:1158/em/console/aboutApplication Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g is not running.

./emctl status agent

Refer to Oracle Metlink Doc [1222603.1]

we need to do the following :

1- Ignore any errors and continue with the installation or upgrade. The database will be created without errors.

2- Apply Patch 8350262 to your Oracle Home installation using OPatch

To apply the patch :
A-change to Patch directory .
B-export ORACLE_SID = ORCL
C-export ORACLE_HOME= /u01/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/
D-$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/Opatch apply

OPatch succeeded.

3-If you using linux you need to kill all dbconsole process by “KillDbconsole” you will find it in the same patch directory , if you are using windows no need to kill anything .

$ /killDBConsole ORACLE_HOME=/myhost/db_1 ORACLE_SID=caem31 State directory = /myhost/db_1/staxd10_caem31 WatchDog PID = 802932 DBconsole PID = 577716 EMAgent PID = 512156 Killing WatchDog (pid=802932) ... Successfully killed process 802932 Killing DBConsole (pid=577716) ... Successfully killed process 577716 Killing EMAgent (pid=512156) ... Successfully killed process 512156

4-This not optional steps you need to do it :

./emctl secure dbconsole -reset

Sometimes reset secure its not enough the same error will be appear , I know its lot of steps but i told you use command line Ok Ok what i can do just recreate enterprise manager again :
