Enterprise Manager

[stevenriz]

How can I get the OEM installed on let's say my laptop to run out of a webpage so I can manager a db on another machine?? We have a db running on a machine that does not have OEM loaded and running on port 5500. I have OEM loaded on my laptop but it seems to be it's own application, not the web interface version.

Reason I ask is I want to work on backups and restores and apparently you need the 10g console, not the one I have.

Hi, stevenriz

What OS is Oracle running on?

The one I want to manage is on Redhat Enterprise 3 AS. I'd rather not install anything else on that particular box if at all possible.

Hi, stevenriz

If you open a terminal session on the server or a PuTTy (my way of doing it) session from your laptop and connect to oracle then type:

emctl start dbconsole

This will start the web-version of OEM. You should then be able to connect to it from your laptop. My way of doing it is:

I know this works for all 10g's with the exception of the developers release for powerPC. On that release emctl doesn't get loaded on the system. So I thought maybe I Can run it from another system.

steven,

you seem like an intelligent dude... why do you want to go and use a GUI?

it's funny to see how people's attitudes toward OEM have changed over the years. when I started on Oracle in '97 (late 7.3/early 8.0) no self-respecting DBA would be caught dead using it. my "master" would disqualify job candidates for giving an answer to a question that involved using it (yes, I'm serious). his mantra was "if you don't know how to do it with sqlplus and a shell you aren't qualified to do it". of course I'm MUCH more progressive: I actually use some PERL w/DBI...

Thanks for the compliment! I am a command line advocate and I share you and your master's vision... I have maybe 5 years partial experience with Oracle starting with 8i, probably have done a couple dozen installs and some tablespace mods and patches... in between administering other systems... all figured out by myself.... When I have a goal in mind, I won't stop until I get it... one way or the other...

Well I'm learning more and more about this developer's release of Oracle 10g for Power. I learned that the dbconsole doesn't exist, or not yet. I learned there is no production release yet. I just now learned that RMAN probably doesn't work either. I can't get logged into it to save my life. I admit I am not familiar with rman quite yet but am learning. I also learned the java EM that installed with my client will not do backups/restores on another database. A window pops up telling me to use the web interface on the server. Ugh.

The GOAL here: To have online backup and restore ability with the Dev Release of 10g for POWER. Oracle support claims RMAN can do it. Archiving is ON and those files are accumulating and when I do a offline backup, I want to just get rid of them and I can't seem to get that done yet. So I am on that tangent now....

What do you think? You sound like an expert and I appreciate anything you have to say here and in the other posts....
