Installing the agent 12c on the target host did not cause any problem, the oracle database 18c discovery ran successfully, but the database was seen as down in the Enterprise Manager 12.1.0.4 console.

Introduction When you work on ODA you sometimes get struggled with local filesystem free space. ODA has terabytes of space on data disks, but local disks are still limited to a raid-1 array of 2x 480GB disks. And only few GB are dedicated to / and /u01 filesystems. You do not need hundreds of GB on these filesystems, but I think that you prefer to keep at least 20-30% of free space. And if you…
We speak about the increasing interest in open source technologies since several years and now, in 2018, you even feel that at the DOAG. There are sessions about PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Docker, Kubernetes and much more. As usual we had to do our hard preparation work before the conference opened to the public and prepare our booth and Michael almost came to his limits (and maybe he was not even sure on what he was doing…
Introduction It has been 5 years I’m working on ODA and I now have a quite good overview of the pros and the cons of such a solution. On one hand, ODA can greatly streamline your Oracle Database environment if you understand the purpose of this appliance. On the other hand, ODA can be your nightmare if you’re not using it as it supposed to be used. Let’s discover the common mistakes to avoid from…
Regarding the following “MOS Note Is Table SCHEMA.CMP4$222224 Or Similar Related To Compression Advisor? (Doc ID 1606356.1)”, we know that since Oracle 11.2.0.4 BP1 or Higher, due to the failure of Compression Advisor some tables with names that include “CMP”, created “temporary – the time the process is running” by Compression Advisor process (ie CMP4$23590) are not removed from the database as that should be the case. How theses tables are created ? How to…
