 Introduction to Enterprise Manager 13c
 Architecture of Enterprise Manager
 Components involved
 New & Enhanced Features in 13c
 Q&A
 Provides a centralized monitoring and management platform for IT
infrastructure.
 One tool to monitor and manage all Oracle databases.
 Can manage and monitor various targets (host, ASM, RAC, Listener, Weblogic,
Tomcat, Apache and many more).
 It’s possible to add more target types using plug-ins.
 Easy to maintain: Familiar components (Oracle products), My Oracle Support.
 Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c therefore introduces “always on”
monitoring
 Planned downtime windows - another exciting feature being introduced
is “notification blackouts”
 “Stack management” - unification of hardware and software
management
 “Infrastructure management” - target types: servers, storage, network,
VMs in Enterprise Manager.
 “Integration of Exacheck” - generate automated notifications and reports
for any violation in their Exadata configurations.
 Architecture
 Agents
 Management Server (OMS)
 Repository (OMR)
 Plug-ins
 Oracle JVMD Engine
 Oracle BI Publisher
 OEM Console
 EMCTL
 EMCLI
 Converts an un-managed host to a managed host in OEM.
 Working in conjunction with the plug-ins to monitor targets
running on a host.
 “Central Agent” {Default Agent – to monitor OMS host}
 Standalone management agent.
 Web-based Application.
 Communicates with Management agent and plug-ins.
 Discover, Monitor and Manage targets.
 Store collected information in repository
 Renders user interface of OEM

 EM CLI enables users to access Enterprise Manager functionality through
a command-line interface or scripts.
 EM CLI is fully integrated with Enterprise Manager's security and user
administration functions.
 Examples of EM CLI tasks you can accomplish are as follows:
 Create a new Enterprise Manager administrator account.
 Monitor and manage targets, jobs, groups, and blackouts.

 EMCTL is a command line utility installed with EM to administer or

control the core components of Enterprise Manager Cloud Control,
particularly Oracle Management Service (OMS) and Oracle Management
Agent (Management Agent).

System Broadcast
• Super Administrator can send pop-up messages from EM to other
administrators users.
• Messages can also be sent using EMCLI “send_system_broadcast”
verb
Verb used: send_system_broadcast

$ ./emcli login -username=sysman

Enter password : Login successful

$ ./emcli send_system_broadcast -toOption="ALL“ -messageType="WARN"

-message="System Maintenance, 6pm" Successfully requested to send System
Broadcast to users.
 Multiple proxy servers can be used by OMS for its communication to
the Management Agent.
 Addition of new proxies will not require OMS bounces
 proxies are managed as complete targets so that users can easily
identify a proxy if it is down

Corrective Action {E}

• Task to automatically fix events or metric alerts
• All event types are supported in 13c
• Can run automatically or can be invoked manually by administrator
• Development Life cycle support {Develop, Test & Publish}
Corrective Action {E}
Corrective Action {E}
 Events related to same issue can be combined together.
 Criteria for grouping includes:-
 By target
 By event category
 By metric
 Time window can also be used to group events
 Event grouping reduces over all volume of Incidents created.
 Page Performance Monitoring & Diagnostics
 Reports SQL statements which are increasing response time for poorly
performing UI console
 Better visibility of SQL executions triggered within the page
 Can see pages performing poorly in last 24 hrs.

EM 13.1 Installer Enhancements

 End User Service
 Enhancement to Corrective Actions
 Even under blackout targets will be monitored but notification will not be
send.
 Alerts can be still viewed in the Enterprise Manager
 Once the blackout ends, event will be created and notification will be send.
 Two types of notification blackout:
 Maintenance Notification Blackout
 Notification-only Notification Blackout

Always-On-Monitoring
• Provides continuous monitoring of target down or other critical alert
even while EM is under maintenance.
• Email notifications can be configured to be sent when target
down and other critical alerts are detected.
 Incident manager displays incident view in the new incident dashboard
 Highlight Areas:
 Incidents of FATAL Severity

 Ability to change metric comparison operator.
 User defined business hours for Adaptive thresholds.
 13c supports compute expressions in Metric Extensions.
 Ability to define a Metric Extension for Single Instance & RAC
instance alone.
 Incidents Rule Sets can now be exported from an EM site and Imported into
another.
 Stored in the form of XML file.
 Exported Rule set include:-
 User subscribed to the rules
 Email address of recipients
 Targets on which rule set operates
 Notification methods
 Selenium IDE recorder
 Recorded scripts are created with Selenium IDE Recorder
 TestNG framework can also be used to create scripts
 Scripts are stored in Software Library
 Displays end user performance & behavior info captured by RUEI.
 By discovering a RUEI system in Enterprise Manager, all applications, service
which are managed & monitored by RUEI become individual “End User
Service” target in EM13c.

Corrective Actions {E}

target to be monitored as 12c target type.
 13c monitoring features can be adopted anytime by just “Click Button”
and convert it to 13c target type.
 EM13c shows photo realistic view of Database machine hardware on
DBM homepage.
 EM 13c introduces “Inter-continental Zero Data Loss”
 Concept of Far-Sync Standby database
 Far-Sync database has no datafiles, its only job is to receive Redo and forward it to one
or more destination.
 EM13c supports creation of Far-Sync standby database as target.
 EM13c provides end-to-end solution for managing database
consolidation
 DCW has three phases- Planning, Migration & Validation
 Planning – use historical workload metric for both database and host to produce
optimal consolidation plan
 Migration – automates entire database consolidation implementation process.
Different mode of consolidation is supported in DCW
 Validation – DCW uses SQL performance analyzer to validate SQL Workload
Performance on consolidated platform.
 Manage & monitor Oracle Database Service as EM target.
 Can be added manually or using Auto-discovery option.
