Hi there,
well i prefer to use cloning method, like this i have the same level of patches for my agents.
take a tar file from fresh installation with all patches
untar at target
$ORACLE_HOME_AGENT/oui/bin/runInstaller -detachHome $ORACLE_HOME_AGENT -invptrloc xxx
$ORACLE_HOME_AGENT/oui/bin/runInstaller -clone -forceClone ORACLE_HOME=xxx ORACLE_HOME_NAME=agent_home -noconfig -silent -invptrloc xxx ORACLE_HOSTNAME=xxx (if you’re using virtual adresses)
modify $ORACLE_HOME_AGENT/sysman/config/OUIInventories.add (if you have several installations on Inventory)
modify $ORACLE_HOME_AGENT/sysman/config/emd.properties (AgentListenOnAllNics if you’re using virtual adress)
agentca -f -t -d
modify $ORACLE_HOME_AGENT/sysman/emd/targets.xml to reflect your Oracle instance (name, port etc …)
emctl secure agent

Try to set the following environment variable and try again
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin:$PATH

Hello Kamran,
I have installed oracle 10g on my windows machine and created 4 databases,can I configure OEM grid control on the same machine and monitor all the 4 databases as well as other databases which are on othermachines and are connected by LAN what are the prerequisite for the same I need to start it from scratch.
Do you have any document on the same.Thanks
With Database control I can monitor only 1 database at a time.
I am new to OEM so might be wrong while explaining you.
Thanks a lot.
Kamran Agayev A. said
Sure you can. Just register all databases at OEM. I’ve shown how to do it in this video tutorial
