Use this page to set up your database so it can be managed with Oracle Enterprise Manager. Oracle Enterprise Manager provides Web-based management tools for managing individual database instances, as well as central management tools for managing your entire Oracle environment, including multiple databases, hosts, application servers, and other components of your network.
When you run Database Upgrade Assistant, the assistant checks to see if the Oracle Management Agent is installed on the host computer. If the assistant locates an Oracle Management Agent, then select the Grid Control option and select an Oracle Management Service from the drop-down list. When you finish installing Oracle Database, the database is automatically available as a managed target within Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control.
You install Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control and its related components from a separate CD-ROM, which is included in the Oracle Database CD-ROM pack.
For more information about centrally managing the databases, application servers, hosts, and other components of your network, see Oracle Enterprise Manager Concepts.
If you are not centrally managing your Oracle environment, then you can still use Oracle Enterprise Manager to manage your database. When you install an Oracle Database, you automatically install Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control, which provides Web-based features for monitoring and administering the single-instance or clustered database you are installing.
To configure the database so it can be managed with Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control, select the Database Control option.
When you select the Database Control management option, you can configure Enterprise Manager so that email notifications are enabled immediately upon installation.
Select Enable Email Notifications if you want the SYSMAN user (the default Super Administrator and owner of the Management Repository schema) to receive email notification when a metricfor a specified condition reaches a critical or warning threshold. For example, Enterprise Manager can send an email when a target fails or when there are database space usage problems.
Use the following table to enter the information required in order for email notifications to work properly. If you do not provide the necessary information on this screen, then email notification is not enabled upon installation. You may set or change email notification settings using Database Control after installation is complete. Refer to the Enterprise Manager online help for more information on notifications.
| Field | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server | Enter the name of the outgoing mail server; for example, mail.example.com.
For UNIX, the default SMTP server is the local host name.
Use the fully-qualified host name (including domain). |
| Email Address | Specify the email address associated with the SYSMAN user to receive notifications. The address specified here also serves as the sender's email address. |
If you select the Database Control management option, then you can also enable automatic daily backups of your entire database.
Select Enable Daily Backups to use the backup strategy that Oracle recommends to back up your entire database with a minimum amount of configuration. Later, you can use Oracle Enterprise Manager to customize your backup strategy further. For more information, see the Oracle Enterprise Manager online help.
When you select this option, Enterprise Manager will be configured to back up your database, based on the scheduled start time you enter on this page, immediately after you finish installing the Oracle Database. Enterprise Manager will back up the database to the Fast Recovery Area that you specify later on the Recovery Configuration page of Database Upgrade Assistant.
After you select Enable Daily Backup, enter the following information, which is required in order to enable the automatic backup strategy:
Use the Backup Start Time fields to specify a time of day when the back up job will be submitted.
Use the OS Username and Password fields to enter the host credentials. The host credentials are required so Enterprise Manager can write to the disk recovery location, which is specified later on the Recovery Configuration page of Database Upgrade Assistant.
