How to Enable Enterprise Manager on the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12

For the process to complete successfully, the database and database listener must be started.
It is not neccessary that any other Apps services are running for this process to complete.

Source the environment for the 10g ORACLE_HOME. With a Release 12 environment this would mean running the _.env script as generated by AutoConfig in the 10gR2 ORACLE_HOME.

Implement a password file and to overcome any ORA-01031 errors on the database.

It is also worth considering converting your Applications database to work with an SPFile
instead of an init.ora. An SPFile is approximately analogous to being a binary equivalent of the init.ora and allows for dynamic changes to many database parameters that previously would have required a database restart.

Next, as the owner of the 10gR2 ORACLE_HOME, run the following command to create the Enterprise Manager repository:-

$ emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create

When the above create command is run you will be prompted for the following:

STARTED EMCA at Oct 15, 2007 12:26:22 PM
EM Configuration Assistant, Version 10.2.0.1.0 Production
Copyright (c) 2003, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.

Enter the values appropriate to your environment:-

Database SID: VIS
Listener port number: 1521
Password for SYS user: change_on_install
Password for DBSNMP user: dbsnmp
Password for SYSMAN user: sysman
Email address for notifications (optional):
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server for notifications (optional):

You have specified the following settings

Database ORACLE_HOME ................ /oracle/VIS/db/tech_st/10.2.0

Database hostname ................ xxxxxxx.xx.oracle.com
Listener port number ................ 1521
Database SID ................ VIS
Email address for notifications ...............
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server for notifications ...............
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Do you wish to continue? [yes(Y)/no(N)]: Y

The repository should then start to be created. Typically this can take anywhere between 10 and 60 minutes depending on hardware and database configuration and size.

INFO: Creating the EM repository (this may take a while) ...

When the repository is created the following message should appear....

INFO: >>>>>> The Database Control URL is http://xxxxxxxxxx.xx.oracle.com:1158/em <<<<<<
Enterprise Manager configuration completed successfully
FINISHED EMCA at Sep 13, 2007 2:13:48 PM

Use the above Database Control URL to access the Enterprise Manager console through a browser interface.

Us the following command to drop an EM repository that has already been created:

$ emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop

To enable or disable browser access to dbconsole use the following command after sourcing
the environment for the 10g ORACLE_HOME. With a Release 12 environment this would
mean running the _.env script as generated by AutoConfig in the 10gR2 ORACLE_HOME.

$ emctl start dbconsole

To disable browser access use the following command:

$ emctl stop dbconsole
