Steps to configure Oracle 10g Enterprise Manager Database Control

Steps to configure Oracle 10g Enterprise Manager Database Control

1.Ensure that you can connect to the Repository Database. Test it with SQL*Plus or TNSPING Utility.


#> tnsping TESTDB

TNS Ping Utility for Linux: Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production on 23-FEB-2012 22:13:41

Copyright (c) 1997, 2006, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

Used parameter files:
/spl/intbase/DB/oracletns/sqlnet.ora


Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.52)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = TESTDB)))
OK (50 msec)
= TESTDB Shared DB server = oracle@testdb.sangam.com /orasw/app/oracle/product/10.2.0.3/bin

2. Change the %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\listener.ora file from an IP number to machine name.

3. Change the %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora file from an IP number to a machine name.

4. Change the C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file by adding this line beneath the default localhost line (for the new Hostname value):

127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.0.52  saidrasel saidrasel

5. Unlock the SYSMAN account because it ensures that emca can drop it and all dependencies. Then, drop the em configuration with the following commands.

C:\Data> set ORACLE_SID=orcl
C:\Data> emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop

6. You’ll receive the following prompts, enter the Oracle SID and Port number without double quotes but you must enter all passwords with double quotes (at least in Oracle Database 11g):

Oracle Database 11gR1

Enter the following information:
Database SID: orcl
Listener port number: 1521
Password for SYS user:
Password for SYSMAN user:
Password for SYSMAN user:
Do you wish to continue? [yes(Y)/no(N)]: y

Oracle Database 11gR2

EM Configuration Assistant, Version 11.2.0.0.2 Production
Copyright (c) 2003, 2005, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

Enter the following information:
Database SID: orcl
Listener port number: 1521
Password for SYS user:
Password for SYSMAN user:

Do you wish to continue? [yes(Y)/no(N)]: y


7. If you failed to unlock the SYSMAN account in step #5, you should drop the SYSMAN user manually. If you don’t drop the SYSMAN schema, you’ll raise an error when you try to recreate it:

CONFIG: ORA-20001: SYSMAN already EXISTS..
ORA-06512: at line 17

oracle.sysman.assistants.util.sqlEngine.SQLFatalErrorException: ORA-20001: SYSMAN already EXISTS..
ORA-06512: at line 17
The Java stack trace will look like this, more or less based on version and release:

at oracle.sysman.assistants.util.sqlEngine.SQLEngine.executeImpl(SQLEngine.java:1530)
at oracle.sysman.assistants.util.sqlEngine.SQLEngine.executeScript(SQLEngine.java:880)
at oracle.sysman.assistants.util.sqlEngine.SQLPlusEngine.executeScript(SQLPlusEngine.java
at oracle.sysman.assistants.util.sqlEngine.SQLPlusEngine.executeScript(SQLPlusEngine.java
at oracle.sysman.emcp.EMReposConfig.createRepository(EMReposConfig.java:492)
at oracle.sysman.emcp.EMReposConfig.invoke(EMReposConfig.java:218)
at oracle.sysman.emcp.EMReposConfig.invoke(EMReposConfig.java:147)
at oracle.sysman.emcp.EMConfig.perform(EMConfig.java:222)
at oracle.sysman.emcp.EMConfigAssistant.invokeEMCA(EMConfigAssistant.java:535)
at oracle.sysman.emcp.EMConfigAssistant.performConfiguration(EMConfigAssistant.java:1215)
at oracle.sysman.emcp.EMConfigAssistant.statusMain(EMConfigAssistant.java:519)
at oracle.sysman.emcp.EMConfigAssistant.main(EMConfigAssistant.java:468)
Drop the user and dependent on version a few other objects, like:

DROP USER sysman CASCADE;
DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM setemviewusercontext;
DROP ROLE mgmt_user;
DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM mgmt_target_blackouts;
DROP USER mgmt_view;

8. You can then create the em environment with the following syntax:

C:\Data> emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create

9. Again, you’ll receive the following prompts, enter the Oracle SID and Port number without double quotes but you must enter all passwords with double quotes (at least in Oracle Database 11g):
