Enhancements to Corrective Actions• Corrective actions are one of the most powerful automation tools you can

implement in Enterprise Manager. • With 13c, an enhancement to support all event types including Compliance

Standard Rule violations, Service Level Agreement (SLA) alerts, and job status events.

• DevOps has been incorporated into corrective actions, offering the administrator an easy way to develop, test and release to production where before there wasn’t one.

• The Cloud Administrator can now respond automatically to to events with common responses by scripting.


Corrective Actions Are Your Savior


Corrective Actons, Cont.• Support for all event types.• Support for compliance rules. This will allow users to associate corrective

actions with various compliance checks.• Automated invocation using event rules.• Ability to attach the latest corrective actions automatically.


Save Repository Space with Intelligent Compression• Having copies of the same incident can allocate unnecessary space in the

repository. With Intelligent Incident Compression, duplicates of the same incident can be compressed and saved as one.

• There are different criteria to save space the way the Cloud Administrator requires- – grouping by targets on the same host.– targets belonging to the same aggregate target.– grouping by event category– grouping events by metric. – By a window of time.

• Along with Compression, intelligent grouping allows for space savings.

The Job System Now Can Use Chef!• EM13c has added a new job type, Chef!• The software library now supports managing and accessing both Chef cookbooks

and recipes• The deployment procedures have been extended to support the execution of Chef

recipes. • Remember that the Chef cookbooks and recipes can exist either in the software

library or locally to a host target.1. Ensure that chef-solo has been setup and is available.2. Create a software library folder.3. Upload a Chef cookbook.4. Create a job using the Chef job type and submit it.


Chef Support • New Job Type in the EM Job System

– Must have Chef Solo set up as a pre-requisite.– Supports the execution of Chef recipes– Chef Recipes can exist in the Software library or on the target host.

Enhancements to Gold Image Agent Deployment• How much time to you spend on managing EM agents? Simplifying this

process can really offer time savings-– Automate recovery during an agent upgrade or an agent plug-in deployment with an

upgrade– What everyone wants, zero downtime for agent maintenance including patching,

upgrade, and plug-ins– Compliance guarantees for agent configurations– DevOps export/import opportunity from test to production Enterprise Manager

environments.– Reports to show current gold agent deployments and opportunities to meet

compliance.


RUEI Target Type Support• Regions like User Flow, Top Executed pages and top user and KPI.• Pages like User Flow Details, End User Metrics and End User Sessions.• Addition of event and incident resolution and diagnostic via a guided

process.• Relationship building to systems from EUS, plus the ability to aggregate EUS

targets to a single service.


Enhanced Software Library• Performance when working with the software library can be very important.

• The feature incorporates staging content and • Efficiency has been added to the software library to increase performance

of large files over a WAN or remote servers.• This improvement also includes remote geo locations, introducing the

concept of cache nodes which can stage content on servers local to that subnet..

• All subsequent file transfers are initiated from the cache nodes, reducing transfer time and required bandwidth.


Always On Monitoring


Configuration Management• Search and History Integration- Simplify searches on configurations and retain historical searches.

• Improved Configuration Item Search- The “look ahead” option makes it easier to find items.

• Advanced Logic Support- You can use AND/OR conditions in searches to create reports.

• Inventory and Usage Details- Including MS SQL Server and DB2


Cloud Lifecycle Success Plan

• Map out your infrastructure requirement• physical and virtual networks, storage arrays,

applications , etc.• You can generate consolidation advisories that include

plans to:• Physical to Virtual (P2V)• Physical to Physical (P2P)• Physical to an Exadata

• Plan out:• Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)• Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS)• Middleware-as-a-Service (MWaaS) clouds


Simplify with Hybrid Cloud


Ease of Management


EM13c VM Manager• If you had Oracle VM Manager 3.0.x registered with Enterprise Manager

previously and had upgraded it to higher versions 3.1.x or 3.2.1, you must update the Oracle VM Manager URL.

auto patch download, scheduled application, granular status tracking, log monitoring and aggregation.

• VM provisioning on Exadata 12.1.2.1.0 virtualization is now supported and provides an efficient, completely automated mechanism for scheduled mass deployment of RAC databases in the Exadata plugin.

• Administrators can now perform the following active management operations from the Exadata target home page to meet on demand or planned capacity needs:


Register External Storage Solutions• Supports NAS and NFS• Add Storage for VM’s easily

following software components can be stored in the storage repository:

■ Oracle VM Templates ■ Oracle Virtual Assemblies ■ ISOs ■ Virtual Disks ■ VM Files
