Configure OEM in Oracle 11gR2 on Window


The Oracle Enterprise Manager, (OEM) is the standard monitoring tool for Oracle databases . The OEM allows the DBA to easily manage every aspect of the database, even non-traditional tasks like applying patches and scheduling jobs . Sometimes OEM doesn't work due to some issue and  i face such a issues while re-configuring it  and follow this method . Let's have a look on this below issue . All the steps are same for window or linux/unix platform . (just change path and variable where required)

Enter the following information:
Database SID:  orcl

        at oracle.sysman.emcp.EMConfigAssistant.main(EMConfigAssistant.java:522)

and the emca log contains the below details : 

oracle.sysman.emcp.util.GeneralUtil initSQLEngineLoacly
CONFIG: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
oracle.sysman.assistants.util.sqlEngine.SQLFatalErrorException: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

at oracle.sysman.emcp.DatabaseChecks.checkDbAvailabilityImpl(DatabaseChecks.java:118)

From the above logs, we find two hints  i.e, database instance is down and ORA-01031 . We  search on meta-link and find some useful information . So, some possible reasons may be : 

1.) Database may not be up.

2.) Database is started setting environment variable ORACLE_HOME with trailing '/'. Reset  ORACLE_HOME and bounce the database.

3.) Confirm that the database is up.  Connect to the database via sql*plus and do:-

C:\>sqlplus sys/xxxx@orcl as sysdba
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production on Thu Jun 28 17:25:00 2012
Copyright (c) 1982, 2010, Oracle.  All rights reserved.
Connected to:

SQL> select instance_name,status,version from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME    STATUS          VERSION
----------------         ------------      -----------------
orcl                          OPEN             11.2.0.1.0

4.) Confirm whether the $ORACLE_HOME environmental variable is correct. This involves comparing the current ORACLE_HOME environmental setting, with the one that was set the last time the database was started. 
a.) To check the current ORACLE_HOME :-
set ORACLE_HOME (windows)

b.) To check the $ORACLE_HOME which was set at the time when the database was last started .Connect to sqlplus as SYS as SYSDBA and issue the following:-

SQL> var OHM varchar2(100);
SQL> EXEC dbms_system.get_env('ORACLE_HOME', :OHM) ;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> PRINT OHM
OHM
<Oracle_Home which was set at the time that the database was last started will be returned here>

c.) If the ORACLE_HOME was set wrongly at the time that the database was started (as determined by above steps), then the database will need to be shut down and re-started. To shut the database down, it will be necessary to set the 'wrong' ORACLE_HOME (the one which is returned in the OHM output). After the database has been successfully shut down, then the correct ORACLE_HOME should be set, and the database can be re-started.

5.) Confirm whether it's possible to connect to the database as the SYSDBA user remotely, using sqlplus. As part of the repository creation/drop process, the SYS user needs to be able to connect as SYSDBA . The ORA-01031: insufficient privileges error is returned when the SYS user is unable to connect as SYSDBA.  To test this outside of dbconsole, test a sqlplus remote connection (one which connects via a tnsnames.ora alias) as sysdba. eg:-
$ORACLE_HOME/bin>sqlplus sys/<password>@<alias> as sysdba

If the above returns the ora-1031 error, check the following :-

a.) Check whether the REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE initialization parameter is set correctly in the database.  For the purposes of configuring dbconsole, it must be set to 'EXCLUSIVE'.  This value can be checked by logging into the database via sql*plus and typing "show parameter remote".

SQL> show parameter remote 
NAME                                                TYPE                VALUE
----------------------------                    ---------            --------------
remote_login_passwordfile            string                EXCLUSIVE

If this parameter is not set to 'EXCLUSIVE', the following command can be run .
SQL>alter system set remote_login_passwordfile=EXCLUSIVE scope=spfile;

b.) For dbconsole 11.2.0.1 and 11.2.0.2 check whether the %ORACLE_HOME%/network/admin/sqlnet.ora (or %TNS_ADMIN%/sqlnet.ora)  contains the entry . 
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)

In my case the value of  SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES is NONE . So, i changed to NTS and finally able to configure the OEM . The rest are as 

C:\>set ORACLE_SID=orcl
C:\>set ORACLE_HOME=C:\app\Neerajs\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1
C:\>emca  -config dbcontrol db -repos create -SID  ORCL   -PORT  1521 -ORACLE_HOME  C:\app\Neerajs\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1

Hi! Quick question that's completely off topic. Do you know how to
make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when viewing
from my apple iphone. I'm trying to find a theme or
plugin that might be able to correct this issue. If you
have any recommendations, please share. With thanks!



Look into my site :: outdoor gyms

it appears that this capability has been deleted with oracle 12c?
I can't run emca on a windows 2012 box with oracle 12c ( 12.1.0.1) already installed.
