9 Upgrading OEM Grid Control to 10205 9.1
Pre-installation Tasks
The following are the general pre-installation tasks. 1.
Page 32 of 75
Oracle recommends that you back up the Oracle home that will be upgraded using this patch set. In the case of a Management Repository, Oracle recommends that you back up the repository database before applying the patch set because the patch set makes changes to the repository that cannot be rolled back. Also, back up the Oracle Inventory directory.
http://oraclechronicle.com
Copyrights © 2009 by Sethunath. U
Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 18-JUN-2009
Installation and Configuration
a. Backup $AGENT_HOME,$OMS_HOME,$DB_HOME b. Backup Database (Cold backup) c.
Backup Inventory directory
2. Make sure that you meet the product pre-requisites (operating system patches, packages etc.) for the 10.2.0.5 patch set. For information about platform-specific package and kernel requirements, refer to the Enterprise Manager Grid Control Installation and Basic Configuration Guide. 3. Before upgrading your Oracle Management Service, ensure that the shared pool size is set in your Grid Control repository database as per your infrastructure. Minimum size for shared pool is 512 MB. For information about the fixed initialization parameter values, refer to the pre-installation requirements described in the Enterprise Manager Grid Control Installation and Basic Configuration Guide. 4. Be sure that the partitioning option is enabled in the database that contains the Grid Control repository (Sysman schema) . Connect to the Database as sysdba and run the following query to determine whether the Partitioning Option is installed:
SQL> select value from v$option where parameter ='Partitioning'; The preceding query should result in VALUE=TRUE. 5.
Both the DBSNMP and SYSMAN users require the EXECUTE privilege on the DBMS_RANDOM package in the Repository Database. You must grant the privilege to both users as follows:
a. Log into the Repository Database as SYSDBA. b. Run the following SQL commands:
SQL> grant execute on dbms_random to dbsnmp; SQL> grant execute on dbms_random to sysman; c. Verify that the query below does not return any invalid objects:
SQL> select object_name, object_type, owner from dba_objects where status='INVALID';
6. If the repository database is configured with the UTF8 character set, the value of NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS needs to be set to BYTE. To check this in the database, run the following command :
Page 33 of 75
http://oraclechronicle.com
Copyrights © 2009 by Sethunath. U
Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 18-JUN-2009
Installation and Configuration
SQL> SELECT value FROM nls_database_parameters WHERE parameter='NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS'; If the value is not set to BYTE, change it by running the following command: SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=BYTE SCOPE=both;
7.
Login in the Database as Sysman and remove the following job:
SQL> SELECT job FROM user_jobs WHERE what= 'MGMT_CNTR_TT.clean_up_old_ticket_recs'; If the above query returns the job id then run the following command to remove it: SQL> exec dbms_job.remove(); SQL> COMMIT; 8. If the database containing the Grid Control repository is linked with a Data Guard database, the database must be forced in logging mode before the upgrade starts to force all index maintenance commands to be propagated to the standby database. The upgrade by default will perform the index maintenance commands in a 'NOLOGGING' mode. This means that any Data Guard database linked to the repository database will not have these index operations replicated to it. To make sure these commands get replicated to the Data Guard instance, force the database into logging mode: SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA; SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING; Once the OMS upgrade is successful then revert the Data Guard force logging changes: SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA; SQL> ALTER DATABASE NO FORCE LOGGING
9. If your Enterprise Manager is shut down for a long period of time, you must follow the below steps before conducting the upgrade: a. Log into the Repository Database as SYSMAN b. Run the following SQL:
SQL> exec emd_maintenance.analyze_emd_schema('SYSMAN'); c. Start the Oracle management service Page 34 of 75
http://oraclechronicle.com
Copyrights © 2009 by Sethunath. U
Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 18-JUN-2009
Installation and Configuration
10. Make sure that there are no invalid sysman objects present in your Grid Control repository. Important: Oracle recommends that you back up your database before you perform the upgrade operation. Perform the following steps before upgrading: a. Login into the Database as SYS user. b.
Check if there are any invalid SYSMAN objects.
SQL> select object_name, object_type from all_objects where owner='SYSMAN' and status <> 'VALID'; The above query should return 0 rows. If there are rows, then run the below SQL statement: SQL> @admin_recompile_invalid.sql SYSMAN The admin_recompile_invalid.sql script is available under $OMS_HOME/sysman/admin/emdrep/sql/core/latest/admin/ Where $OMS_HOME is the Oracle home directory of the Oracle Management Service (OMS). c. Go to step b again to be sure all SYSMAN objects are valid. If you still have invalid SYSMAN objects that are not in the Recycle bin, contact Oracle support. d. Check to be sure there is no invalid SYS object:
SQL> select object_name, object_type from all_objects where status<>'VALID' and object_name like 'DBMS%'; The above query should return 0 rows. If there are rows, then try to "recompile" them. For example: if the object_type = "PACKAGE" and object_name = "foo" alter package foo compile; if the object_type = "PACKAGE BODY" and object_name ="foo" alter package foo compile body; e. If any of the packages fail to become valid even after recompilation, then Contact Oracle Support to assist you. Once this verification is done, continue through with the rest of the pre-installation tasks. 11. If the 10.1.0.5.0 database containing the Grid Control repository does not have the CPU Jan 2008 patch 6826532 applied, then make sure that you apply this patch. If you have applied the latest CPU Jan 2009 patch 7592360 on your database containing the Grid Control repository, then you do not need to apply the old CPU Jan 2008 patch 6826532.

12. If you have applied the latest CPU Jan 2009 patch 7608318 to your Oracle Management Service (OMS) before upgrading, then make sure that permission of the following files under the Oracle home directory of OMS/rdbms/admin is set to 664. (dbmsaqds.plb,dbmsaw.plb,prvtlmd.plb,prvtpexp.plb,prvtlsby.plb,prvtlms.plb,prvtaqip.plb,p rvtstas.plb,prvtsqlt.plb,prvttxfm.plb,prvtaqdi.plb,prvtaqds.plb,prvtcdpu.plb,prvtcdpi.plb,prvt meti.plb,prvtxdbz.plb,exfeapvs.plb,prvtdupg.plb,prvtupgi.plb,prvtkupc.plb,prvtbpw.plb,prvta qiu.plb,prvtaqim.plb,prvtbsqu.plb,prvtbut4.plb,prvtmetu.plb,prvtmeta.plb,prvtcdcp.plb,prvtc dcu.plb) If the permission is not set to 664 for the above files, you will get a permission denied error during the upgrade. For example: Error in writing to file '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/oms10g/rdbms/admin/dbmsaw.plb' Permission denied 13. Before proceeding with the upgrade, make sure that the dbms jobs are stopped. To do this, follow these steps: a. Login into the Database as SYSMAN. b. Run the following SQL command: SQL> execute emd_maintenance.remove_em_dbms_jobs; SQL>commit;
c. Stop the Grid Control Repository Database. d. d. Start the Grid Control Repository Database. 14. Make sure DBMS JOBS and DBMS Scheduler (for version 10.1+ RDBMS) in the Enterprise Manager Grid Control Repository are turned off during the Enterprise Manager schema upgrade process. To perform this task, follow these steps: a. Log into the repository as SYSMAN. b. For each instance, perform the tasks below: 1. Write down the values of job_queue_processes for each of the instances after you run the following command: SQL> select a.instance_name as sid, b.value as jobqueue from gv$instance a, gv$parameter b where a.inst_id = b.inst_id and b.name='job_queue_processes';
2. Turn off DBMS JOBS by running the following command: SQL> alter system set job_queue_processes=0 sid='*'; Be sure there were no active jobs running by waiting until the following query returns 0:

Upgrading the Oracle Management Service
The pre-installation tasks can be broadly categorized based on the following types of upgrade that you can perform: •
Upgrading First Oracle Management Service and repository
•
Upgrading Additional Oracle Management Services
•
Upgrading Management Agent
The steps to be taken before upgrading the first OMS are: •
While applying the OMS patch set, leave the repository database and listener instance running.
•
Make sure that you follow all the pre-installation tasks as mentioned in the Section 9.1 Pre-installation Tasks before going ahead with upgrade process.
•
Shut down all OMS instances attached to the Grid Control repository, from the respective Oracle homes in their respective hosts. Also stop the Application Server components that run in each Oracle home directory of the Oracle Management Service (OMS).
To stop all the Grid Control components on a host, follow these steps: 1. Stop the Oracle Management Service (OMS) by running the following command from the Oracle home directory of the OMS, where $ORACLE_HOME is the Oracle home directory of the Oracle Management Service: bash-3.00# $OMS_HOME/bin/emctl stop oms
2. Stop the Application Server Control Console, which is used to manage the Oracle Application Server instance used to deploy the Management Service: bash-3.00# $OMS_HOME/bin/emctl stop iasconsole
3. Stop all the application server components, such as Oracle HTTP Server and OracleAS Web Cache by running the following command from the Oracle home directory of the OMS. bash-3.00# $OMS_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopall
4. Wait four to five minutes to ensure that all the OPMN processes are stopped and TCP ports are released. Page 38 of 75

10 OEM Grid Control Features - Overview Oracle Enterprise Manager (EM) management software offers the management framework called Grid Control, which provides a centralized, integrated approach for managing different versions of Oracle products in the enterprise. Grid Control uses HTTP and HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) protocols to provide administrators with a browser-based management interface. The EM suite is bundled with a Grid Control management console; a management service, which includes management repository components; and a management agent. The self-monitoring features of EM help ensure that critical components of Grid Control are always available and functional.
10.1
The Grid Control Framework
The Grid Control framework has a three-tiered architecture comprising the management console, management service, and management agent, as follows:
10.1.1
Management Console
This is the central console from which administrators can manage the Grid Control framework. The console is Web-based and can be connected from any supported Web browser. The browser communicates with the management service over standard protocols such as HTTP and HTTPS to enable communication within EM.

Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 18-JUN-2009
Installation and Configuration
Figure 46: Grid Control Management Console
10.1.2
Management Service
The management service is the middle tier in the EM suite. The management service and management repository generally reside on a system that is separate from the database server and application server. The management service communicates with the management agents, which are deployed on target nodes, and collects host and database-related statistics.
10.1.3
Management agent
Managed servers are the final components in the EM suite. A management agent runs on each monitored target. The management agent is a lightweight process that is responsible for monitoring different services and host parameters on the host on which it is deployed.
10.2
Features of Grid Control
Grid Control provides a robust, reliable, and scalable management framework across the enterprise. The key Grid Control features are as follows:
10.2.1
Scalability
Grid Control has been designed for scalability. In heterogeneous environments, which include databases and application servers of different versions on different platforms, the Grid Control Page 50 of 75
http://oraclechronicle.com
Copyrights © 2009 by Sethunath. U
Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 18-JUN-2009
Installation and Configuration
framework scales seamlessly even when the environment has a large number of servers (see Figure 2). To add a new system to the management target list, the administrator simply installs the management agent on the system. As the IT infrastructure grows, administrators can add more management servers for server load balancing.
10.2.2
Consolidated management
Consolidated management: Every managed server appears as a target on the Grid Control management console. On the console, each server has a home page that provides a consolidated view of server parameters such as resource utilization (CPU, memory, and disk); performance characteristics; and configuration options. Each database (cluster and noncluster) also appears as a target on the Grid Control home page and can be monitored and administered through the console after the administrator logs in to the database.
10.2.3
Logical grouping of targets
Logical grouping of targets: The targets on the console, including the database servers and application servers, can be grouped logically for ease of management. For example, administrators can create a group for all the hosts running Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) 10g in the enterprise. Similarly, another group can be defined for all the hosts running Oracle10g™ on Linux® platforms.
10.2.4
Automation of tasks
Automation of various tasks is one of the most salient features of Grid Control. Each automated task is scheduled in the form of a job to EM. Automated tasks may include modeling applications, backing up databases, deploying custom SQL scripts, or deploying patch updates (see Figure 3). To enable the Grid Control management console to automatically download and apply patches, administrators must first configure Grid Control with a MetaLink1 login, password, and other credentials. MetaLink is an Oracle Web site that allows registered users to download Oracle database patches and patch sets. EM can also be configured with Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) to send the logs and alerts to the system administrator via the management console.
10.2.5
System monitoring and diagnosis
System monitoring and diagnosis: EM can be used for continuous monitoring of targets such as hosts, databases, and application servers, and can be configured to send automated alerts and warnings when the target resource utilization reaches threshold values established by the system administrator.
10.3
Configuring Grid Control
After installation, we need to configure grid control to use it effectively and customize it according to our environment. The following figures and descriptions will comprehensively explain the sample configurations which can be implemented in a typical environment.

10.3.1
The grid Control Home Page
Figure 47: The Grid Control Home Page
This home page provide so many information at a glance. The first section “All targets Status” shows the status of hosts managed by grid control and the total availability percentage. The “All Targets Alerts” section describes the Critical and Warning alert in various targets and the link towards the details of alerts.The “All targets Jobs” shows the status of jobs scheduled as failed/succeeded/suspended etc. Grid control closely watches the security policy violations through section “Security Policy Violations” The links from each sub sections such as ‘Critical’/ ‘Warning’ will show you the details of each of the violation for which you can take remedial actions. The “critical patch advisories” section shows the live patch update information available from Oracle Metalink. “Deployment summary” section displays the type of installations, number of targets against each type, no of installations of each type and patch information for each type.
10.3.2
Management pack configuration
Enterprise Manager provides central management for entire Oracle environment. Some premium functionality contained within this release of Enterprise Manager requires a separate Oracle license. Use target based access to enable or disable access for each target or use pack based batch update to enable or disable selected packs for all targets associated with the specified target type.

Notification Methods
Notification Methods allow you to globally define different mechanisms for sending notifications. These include e-mail, SNMP traps and running custom scripts. Once defined, Notification Methods are used by Notification Rules to send notifications to administrators for alerts, policy violations or job status changes. Each administrator has Notification Rules defined as a preference.

Schedules
Configuring schedules are of extreme importance to receive notifications. You need to set up your notification schedule in order to receive e-mail notifications for alerts. For each day in the schedule, specify the e-mail addresses that should be used to send you e-mail notifications. If multiple teams are working on different work schedules or shifts, the email addresses of those teams should be entered here. There may be different administrators for different set of targets. You may change the administrator by selecting the specific administrator( ) and click “Change”. Then, the schedules for that administrator will be displayed here. Each administrator has exactly one notification schedule. When an alert needs to be e-mailed to an administrator, Enterprise Manager consults that administrator's notification schedule to determine the e-mail address to be used.

Pre-installation Tasks
The following are the general pre-installation tasks. 1.
Page 32 of 75
Oracle recommends that you back up the Oracle home that will be upgraded using this patch set. In the case of a Management Repository, Oracle recommends that you back up the repository database before applying the patch set because the patch set makes changes to the repository that cannot be rolled back. Also, back up the Oracle Inventory directory.

a. Backup $AGENT_HOME,$OMS_HOME,$DB_HOME b. Backup Database (Cold backup) c.
Backup Inventory directory
2. Make sure that you meet the product pre-requisites (operating system patches, packages etc.) for the 10.2.0.5 patch set. For information about platform-specific package and kernel requirements, refer to the Enterprise Manager Grid Control Installation and Basic Configuration Guide. 3. Before upgrading your Oracle Management Service, ensure that the shared pool size is set in your Grid Control repository database as per your infrastructure. Minimum size for shared pool is 512 MB. For information about the fixed initialization parameter values, refer to the pre-installation requirements described in the Enterprise Manager Grid Control Installation and Basic Configuration Guide. 4. Be sure that the partitioning option is enabled in the database that contains the Grid Control repository (Sysman schema) . Connect to the Database as sysdba and run the following query to determine whether the Partitioning Option is installed:
SQL> select value from v$option where parameter ='Partitioning'; The preceding query should result in VALUE=TRUE. 5.
Both the DBSNMP and SYSMAN users require the EXECUTE privilege on the DBMS_RANDOM package in the Repository Database. You must grant the privilege to both users as follows:
a. Log into the Repository Database as SYSDBA. b. Run the following SQL commands:
SQL> grant execute on dbms_random to dbsnmp; SQL> grant execute on dbms_random to sysman; c. Verify that the query below does not return any invalid objects:
SQL> select object_name, object_type, owner from dba_objects where status='INVALID';
6. If the repository database is configured with the UTF8 character set, the value of NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS needs to be set to BYTE. To check this in the database, run the following command :
Page 33 of 75
http://oraclechronicle.com

Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 18-JUN-2009
Installation and Configuration
SQL> SELECT value FROM nls_database_parameters WHERE parameter='NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS'; If the value is not set to BYTE, change it by running the following command: SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=BYTE SCOPE=both;
7.
Login in the Database as Sysman and remove the following job:
SQL> SELECT job FROM user_jobs WHERE what= 'MGMT_CNTR_TT.clean_up_old_ticket_recs'; If the above query returns the job id then run the following command to remove it: SQL> exec dbms_job.remove(
9. If your Enterprise Manager is shut down for a long period of time, you must follow the below steps before conducting the upgrade: a. Log into the Repository Database as SYSMAN b. Run the following SQL:
SQL> exec emd_maintenance.analyze_emd_schema('SYSMAN'); c. Start the Oracle management service Page 34 of 75

10. Make sure that there are no invalid sysman objects present in your Grid Control repository. Important: Oracle recommends that you back up your database before you perform the upgrade operation. Perform the following steps before upgrading: a. Login into the Database as SYS user. b.
Check if there are any invalid SYSMAN objects.
SQL> select object_name, object_type from all_objects where owner='SYSMAN' and status <> 'VALID'; The above query should return 0 rows. If there are rows, then run the below SQL statement: SQL> @admin_recompile_invalid.sql SYSMAN The admin_recompile_invalid.sql script is available under $OMS_HOME/sysman/admin/emdrep/sql/core/latest/admin/ Where $OMS_HOME is the Oracle home directory of the Oracle Management Service (OMS). c. Go to step b again to be sure all SYSMAN objects are valid. If you still have invalid SYSMAN objects that are not in the Recycle bin, contact Oracle support. d. Check to be sure there is no invalid SYS object:
SQL> select object_name, object_type from all_objects where status<>'VALID' and object_name like 'DBMS%'; The above query should return 0 rows. If there are rows, then try to "recompile" them. For example: if the object_type = "PACKAGE" and object_name = "foo" alter package foo compile; if the object_type = "PACKAGE BODY" and object_name ="foo" alter package foo compile body; e. If any of the packages fail to become valid even after recompilation, then Contact Oracle Support to assist you. Once this verification is done, continue through with the rest of the pre-installation tasks. 11. If the 10.1.0.5.0 database containing the Grid Control repository does not have the CPU Jan 2008 patch 6826532 applied, then make sure that you apply this patch. If you have applied the latest CPU Jan 2009 patch 7592360 on your database containing the Grid Control repository, then you do not need to apply the old CPU Jan 2008 patch 6826532.

10 OEM Grid Control Features - Overview Oracle Enterprise Manager (EM) management software offers the management framework called Grid Control, which provides a centralized, integrated approach for managing different versions of Oracle products in the enterprise. Grid Control uses HTTP and HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) protocols to provide administrators with a browser-based management interface. The EM suite is bundled with a Grid Control management console; a management service, which includes management repository components; and a management agent. The self-monitoring features of EM help ensure that critical components of Grid Control are always available and functional.
10.1
The Grid Control Framework
The Grid Control framework has a three-tiered architecture comprising the management console, management service, and management agent, as follows:
10.1.1
Management Console
This is the central console from which administrators can manage the Grid Control framework. The console is Web-based and can be connected from any supported Web browser. The browser communicates with the management service over standard protocols such as HTTP and HTTPS to enable communication within EM.

Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 18-JUN-2009
Installation and Configuration
Figure 46: Grid Control Management Console
10.1.2
Management Service
The management service is the middle tier in the EM suite. The management service and management repository generally reside on a system that is separate from the database server and application server. The management service communicates with the management agents, which are deployed on target nodes, and collects host and database-related statistics.
10.1.3
Management agent
Managed servers are the final components in the EM suite. A management agent runs on each monitored target. The management agent is a lightweight process that is responsible for monitoring different services and host parameters on the host on which it is deployed.
10.2
Features of Grid Control
Grid Control provides a robust, reliable, and scalable management framework across the enterprise. The key Grid Control features are as follows:
10.2.1
Scalability
Grid Control has been designed for scalability. In heterogeneous environments, which include databases and application servers of different versions on different platforms, the Grid Control Page 50 of 75
http://oraclechronicle.com
Copyrights © 2009 by Sethunath. U
Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 18-JUN-2009
Installation and Configuration
framework scales seamlessly even when the environment has a large number of servers (see Figure 2). To add a new system to the management target list, the administrator simply installs the management agent on the system. As the IT infrastructure grows, administrators can add more management servers for server load balancing.
10.2.2
Consolidated management
Consolidated management: Every managed server appears as a target on the Grid Control management console. On the console, each server has a home page that provides a consolidated view of server parameters such as resource utilization (CPU, memory, and disk); performance characteristics; and configuration options. Each database (cluster and noncluster) also appears as a target on the Grid Control home page and can be monitored and administered through the console after the administrator logs in to the database.
10.2.3
Logical grouping of targets
Logical grouping of targets: The targets on the console, including the database servers and application servers, can be grouped logically for ease of management. For example, administrators can create a group for all the hosts running Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) 10g in the enterprise. Similarly, another group can be defined for all the hosts running Oracle10g™ on Linux® platforms.
10.2.4
Automation of tasks
Automation of various tasks is one of the most salient features of Grid Control. Each automated task is scheduled in the form of a job to EM. Automated tasks may include modeling applications, backing up databases, deploying custom SQL scripts, or deploying patch updates (see Figure 3). To enable the Grid Control management console to automatically download and apply patches, administrators must first configure Grid Control with a MetaLink1 login, password, and other credentials. MetaLink is an Oracle Web site that allows registered users to download Oracle database patches and patch sets. EM can also be configured with Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) to send the logs and alerts to the system administrator via the management console.
10.2.5
System monitoring and diagnosis
System monitoring and diagnosis: EM can be used for continuous monitoring of targets such as hosts, databases, and application servers, and can be configured to send automated alerts and warnings when the target resource utilization reaches threshold values established by the system administrator.
10.3
Configuring Grid Control
After installation, we need to configure grid control to use it effectively and customize it according to our environment. The following figures and descriptions will comprehensively explain the sample configurations which can be implemented in a typical environment.

The grid Control Home Page
Figure 47: The Grid Control Home Page
This home page provide so many information at a glance. The first section “All targets Status” shows the status of hosts managed by grid control and the total availability percentage. The “All Targets Alerts” section describes the Critical and Warning alert in various targets and the link towards the details of alerts.The “All targets Jobs” shows the status of jobs scheduled as failed/succeeded/suspended etc. Grid control closely watches the security policy violations through section “Security Policy Violations” The links from each sub sections such as ‘Critical’/ ‘Warning’ will show you the details of each of the violation for which you can take remedial actions. The “critical patch advisories” section shows the live patch update information available from Oracle Metalink. “Deployment summary” section displays the type of installations, number of targets against each type, no of installations of each type and patch information for each type.
10.3.2
Management pack configuration
Enterprise Manager provides central management for entire Oracle environment. Some premium functionality contained within this release of Enterprise Manager requires a separate Oracle license. Use target based access to enable or disable access for each target or use pack based batch update to enable or disable selected packs for all targets associated with the specified target type.

Schedules
Configuring schedules are of extreme importance to receive notifications. You need to set up your notification schedule in order to receive e-mail notifications for alerts. For each day in the schedule, specify the e-mail addresses that should be used to send you e-mail notifications. If multiple teams are working on different work schedules or shifts, the email addresses of those teams should be entered here. There may be different administrators for different set of targets. You may change the administrator by selecting the specific administrator( ) and click “Change”. Then, the schedules for that administrator will be displayed here. Each administrator has exactly one notification schedule. When an alert needs to be e-mailed to an administrator, Enterprise Manager consults that administrator's notification schedule to determine the e-mail address to be used.

11 Licensing It is extremely important to understand the OEM grid Control Licensing policy. Oracle does not charge anything for OEM Grid Control as a product. Instead the licensing is based on the “Management Pack” usage per server per processor.
11.1
Database Management Packs
The following packs are available for database management. Click Preferences
Figure 69 Database Management Pack
When you select each pack against a target database, a license should be acquired for that pack. Eg : If you select “Database Diagnostic Pack “ for the database “CORPprd1”, and the database is having 2 processors, total license fee payable for that pack for “CORPprd1” is 2 X 3500 = USD 7000.
