Use this page to set up your database, so that 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 the Database Configuration Assistant, the assistant checks to see if the Oracle Management Agent has been installed on the host computer. If the assistant locates an Oracle Management Agent, choose the Grid Control option, and select an Oracle Management Service from the drop-down list. When you complete installing the Oracle Database, it is automatically available as a managed target within the Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control.
You must install the 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, you can still use Oracle Enterprise Manager to manage your database. When you install an Oracle Database, you automatically install the Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control, which provides Web-based features for monitoring and administering the single-instance, or a clustered database that you are installing.
Click Configure Database Control for local management to configure the database so that it can be managed using the Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control.
When you select the Database Control management option, you can configure Enterprise Manager so that notifications are enabled immediately upon installation.
Select Enable Alert Notifications if you want the SYSMAN user (the default Super Administrator and owner of the Management Repository schema) to receive alert notification when a metric for a specified condition reaches a critical or warning threshold. For example, Enterprise Manager can send an alert when a target goes down or when there are database space usage problems.
Use the following table to enter the information required in order for alert notifications to work properly. If you do not provide the necessary information on this screen, alert notification will not be enabled upon installation. You may set or change alert notification settings using the Enterprise Manager Console after the 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 will also serve as the sender's email address. |
If you select the Database Control management option, you can also enable automatic daily backups of your entire database.
Select Enable Daily Disk Backup to Recovery Area to use the Oracle-suggested backup strategy 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 is configured to back up your database based on the scheduled start time that you enter on this page, immediately after you complete installing the Oracle Database. Enterprise Manager will back up the database to the Fast Recovery Area that you specify on the Recovery Configuration page of the Database Configuration Assistant.
After you select Enable Daily Disk Backup to Recovery Area, enter the following information to enable the automatic backup strategy:
In the Backup Start Time field, specify a time of day when the back up job is submitted.
In the configure mode, DBCA provides you an option to switch to Grid Control if the database is currently configured to DB Control. Switching to Grid Control migrates all targets from DB Control to Grid Control, along with collection and blackouts. It does not migrate metric data or jobs.
While switching to Grid Control management option, you can optionally delete the DB Control.
