The credit for the patch apply in the post goes to a new friend that wishes to remain anonymous, except that her initials start with KA, and who happens to work at a company in Memphis, TN. Coincidentally, that is where I had been liv. During a recent EM12c project at her company, we were […]

Set oraInventory for EM12c Agents during GUI Installation

So, this is a peculiar problem that I had to dig to find a solution for; each time I deployed an agent to Add Targets to EM12c where no other Oracle Software was located, it would always created the oraInventory located under the $HOME directory. In my case, /home/oracle/oraInventory. This is quite annoying because for […]

User Authentication in EM12c via Weblogic Framework Security

Update Feb 14, 2014: I posted a detailed followup note on EM12c, Weblogic, and Finding Your Way in Active Directory. In it, I’ve illustrated how to find your way in active directory when attempting to setup authentication.   On my current project involving EM12c, I had to configure the Weblogic Server with LDAP Authentication against Active […]

Enable Auto-Provisioning of Users in EM12c

While writing a separate article on EM12c’s Security Authentication, I felt the need to separate out the various parts and pieces which make up the discussion. Rather than have one quite long post, a few smaller ones would make for an easier read. In this one, I’d like to show you how to enable auto-provisioning […]

How to Change Properties of a Target in EM12c

One of my colleagues asked me a good question this morning about how to go about changing the properties of a target, specifically the “Contact” field.  The properties fields for a target are often over-looked, but are important to the prioritization algorithm for event management. For example, if a target’s Lifecycle Status is Production or […]

Create a Simple Job for a Host Target in EM12c

Afternoon folks! I received a text from a customer of mine asking whether I had any documentation to create jobs in EM12c. To be specific, the job in question could have been setup via crontab or windows jobs but since I had recommended consolidation of newer jobs in EM12c, this was a good question. The […]

Patch and Provision with EM12c: Index

Over the last few months, I’ve written a few posts on Provisioning Databases in EM12c. After writing them out, I’ve realized that they’re note organized in the best manner. With that in mind, I’ve created a list (see below) which I hope to keep updated, and you will find as a helpful resource. 1. Patch […]

A Useful Metric Extension in EM12c for Unsupported Oracle Database Versions

Metric Extensions (ME) in EM12c are the new User Defined Metrics from EM11g. It’s an awesome extension of EM12c to monitor non-standard metrics. For example, EM12c’s Oracle Database Plugin 12.1.0.4.0 and 12.1.0.5.0 are only supported with the following versions of the database: I wrote a post on an Alternative Method to monitor GoldenGate from EM12c […]

Patch and Provision with EM12c: #4 Software Library – Create a Component From Oracle Home Clone

Using the provisioning functionality, one can create software components which contain compressed installation binaries. This feature is not limited to only Oracle software, but to illustrate an example, I’d like to show you how […]
