Common Mistakes When Implementing 12c OEM

The most common mistake with implementing EM

Install OEM

Install agents with wild abandon

Get annoyed with OEM

relentlessly spamming you

The most common mistake with implementing EM

1# Oracle Enterprise Manager is an ‘ENTERPRISE’ application

2# It’s a critical part of your infrastructure

3# It’s designed to HELP you manage your estate

4# Oracle Enterprise Manager isn’t a glorified db console

5# Why isn’t success criteria defined?

6# IT Manager shouldn’t see this as ‘just’ a job for a DBA

Upgrading to EM13c

• Have you previously upgraded to 12.1.0.4 from 12.1.0.X?:

Ensure that EM triggers are not disabled

Known Issue Fails but not an issue: 12.1.0.4 Bug 20137693 : Triggers EM_ASSOC_INS_TRIG and EM_ASSOC_INS_TRIG are disabled after upgrading OM

Upgrading to EM13c

• Prerequisites:

Checking the Documentation

OS Space requirements only checked during the

initial install!

Patching Your Agents

• Prerequisites:

Patching Your Agents

• Prerequisites:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E63000_01/OEMLI/base_functionality.htm#OEMLI157

Do you want to patch all your agents????

I didn’t !

What kind of upgrade?

• Upgrade Choices:

• One-System Upgrade

• Two-System Upgrade (gone hurray)

• Software Only (Minimise Outage)• 90% time this works 100% of the time #Anchorman

Software Only Upgrade

• Step 1: Install the new middleware home (no outage)

• ./em13100_linux64.bin -J-Djava.io.tmpdir=/oracle/home/oraomsd1/stage

• Use the Java flag unless you have 10GB of /tmp space!

• It’s a wizard ‘simples’

• Step 2: Configure the new middleware home (outage)



• ./oracle/product/13.1.0.0/sysman/install/ConfigureGC.sh

• It’s a wizard again ‘simples’




• It didn’t check this just recommends you check it




• It will then run the pre-reqs again in the background as per:

./em13100_linux64.bin -silent EMPREREQ_KIT=true EMPREREQKIT_PROPERTY_FILE


• The rest is just a wizard (do you want to see a load of screenshots?) ask me after; there is nothing complicated about it!


Upgrade Failure Which Required Rollback!

• Known Issue: EM 13c: Checklist for Upgrading Enterprise Manager Cloud

Control from Version 12.1.0.3/4/5 to 13c (Doc ID 2095192.1)

I’m not using Cloud or Cost Centre Management??? (Doesn’t matter)Fix is hashing out a REM line in a script (slightly bizarre)

Upgrade Error Which WON’T Require Rollback!

• Issue: Upgrade will create a new user with the password currently used for

SYSMAN, therefore ensure your current database profile will still allow that password

You’ve Upgraded Well Done

• What about those agents?

• The ones which were patched were fine!• The ones which weren’t on the latest release were fine!• The ones on Windows were fine!• The ones which were down were fine!• The ones in blackout were fine!

• The ones I didn’t patch on AIX weren’t (but now I know what the issues were and how to resolve them)

• EM 12c : Agents On AIX Servers Cannot Secure / Upload to OMS Configured to Accept only TLS1 Connections (Doc ID 1965676.1)

Post Upgrade

• This took about two minutes….

Key Install Notes:

emsca zip file is located in the sysman directory of your Middleware Home

emsca requires JDK 7 to run, JDK 7 is located in your Middleware Home

under Oracle Common

The connection strings to the repository in the documentation reference

some very strange port but it’s actually wanting the database listener port

If you haven’t added the BIN directory to of your JAVA home to your PATH

you will get an error below with regards to the KEYTOOL (PKI)

If you get the error below the emsca is clever enough to re-run and then

finish off the bit with the keys
