Deconfigure Enterprise Manager Database Control in 11g

We can deconfigure Enterprise Manager Database Control using below command.

Syntax:
emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop -SYS_PWD -SYSMAN_PWD


Eg:
$ emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop -SYS_PWD sys123 -SYSMAN_PWD sys123

How to create Oracle OWB repository in Linux

We can create Oracle OWB repository in Linux by executing reposinst.sh available at $ORACLE_HOME/owb/bin/unix

Eg:
cd /orasw/app/oracle/product/11.1.0.6/owb/bin/unix
./reposinst.sh

This will open GUI  and then follow the steps accordingly.

Installing a New Oracle XML DB Manually without using DBCA


Follow the below steps to Install New Oracle XML DB Manually

1. If XML DB is installed can be verified through dba_registry: 

SQL> select comp_name "Component" from dba_registry;

Component
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oracle Enterprise Manager
Oracle Database Catalog Views
Oracle Database Packages and Types
JServer JAVA Virtual Machine

It shows that XML DB is not installed.

2. Create a new tablespace for XML DB as below.

create tablespace  xmldb_ts
datafile '/orasw/oracle/data/oradaxmldb_ts.dbf' size 10M autoextend on maxsize unlimited
extent management local uniform size 1M;

3.Install the Oracle XML DB by connecting to database as SYS user and executing the script catqm.sql available at $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin as below


Syntax is :catqm.sql

Eg:

SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/catqm xdbpwd xmldb_ts TEMP

Table created.


Table created.

4.Once script is executed successfully, you can verify the installation as below.

#> sqlplus '/as sysdba'

Re-installing XML DB

To reinstall Oracle XML DB, run following SQL commands connecting to SYS to drop Oracle XML DB user and tablespace:

SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/catnoqm
SQL> alter tablespace tablespace_name offline;
SQL> drop tablespace tablespace_name including contents;

Solution:

This was caused as Oracle XML DB is not installed. Follow the below steps to solve this.

1.First check whetehr Oracle XML DB is installed or not. you can check this as below


SQL> select comp_name "Component" from dba_registry;

Component
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oracle Enterprise Manager
Oracle Database Catalog Views
Oracle Database Packages and Types
JServer JAVA Virtual Machine

SQL> select * from dba_synonyms where SYNONYM_NAME like '%XMLDOM%';

4.Drop the workflow user as below

SQL> drop user OWFMGR cascade;

User dropped.


5.Start the workflow installation again using below command

Oracle 10g workflow configuration assistant fails with "emoms.properties doesn't exist" error

Oracle 10g workflow configuration assistant fails with error emoms.properties doesn't exist while configuring user as below.





Solution: Since EM database control is not configured for this database, it's unable to find emoms.properties file at $ORACLE_HOME/hostname_$ORACLE_SID/sysman/config so configure the Oracle EM database control. You can refer my another article to configure EM at http://oracledba-sharinganexperience.blogspot.in/2012/02/manually-configure-oracle-10g.html

Once EM database control is configured, drop the workflow user that was created while configuring workflow user as configuration was not successful and restart configuration from $ORACLE_HOME/wf/install/wfinstall.csh

Manually Configure Oracle 10g Enterprise Manager dbconsole



Below is the procedure to configure Oracle 10g Enterprise Manager Database Control manually without Database Configuration Assistant.
Using EM database control,you can monitor and administer single database.

The Database Control Framework consists of the Database Control and its underlying technologies:

 * A local Oracle Management Repository installed in the local database and designed to store management data for the Database Control.

 * A local version of the Oracle Management Service designed to work with the local database or clustered database.
     
 
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.

SQL> select username from dba_users where username='SYSMAN';

SYSMAN

Since it's already exists, it's not allowing you to proceed.

The second reason might be the dbconsole repository is already created in your database.You have to configure the dbconsole from the created repository.

 Drop the existing Oracle Management repository and recreate it as below.

Eg:


If $ORACLE_HOME is /orasw/app/oracle/product/10.2.0.3 

then select new $ORACLE_HOME like

When I tried to bring all components manually, time out happened and got again same above error in the log

#> /orasw/app/oracle/product/10.2.0.3/ohs_home2/opmn/bin/opmnctl startall

Solution:
This happened because http web server was unable to start due to missing library libdb.so.2.  We can resolve this issue by creating a softlink with root user as below.


ln -s   /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0  /usr/lib/libdb.so.2
