Enterprise Manager for DBA’s – Videos

 

The video series starts with a brand new Enterprise Manager system where everything is set to the default ‘out of box’ settings. Each video will concentrate on understanding and setting up a different area of EM (eg. adding a database; understanding the different Enterprise Manager users, setting the correct credentials; setting up notification methods; testing a host and database job; understanding database metrics and understanding incident rules. A video or set of videos are linked to each of the notes listed below. It is recommended that the note numbers should be followed in order. Some notes (or sections of notes) are marked optional and can be skipped if there is no intention to use that feature (eg. SNMP traps).

Part of the new look is comes from sharing a new platform with Oracle Technology Network (OTN) Community. When you see the blue banner at the top of the page, or (MOSC) after a name, you can be certain that you are in My Oracle Support Community (MOSC). These pages have content that is only available for Premier Support customers, and Oracle Support engineers moderate the discussions. When you see a red banner, you are in OTN Community, which is open to the general public. Unless you own the Intellectual Property (IP), do not share information from My Oracle Support Community in the OTN Community. 

If you are new to My Oracle Support, welcome. This support channel offers a collaborative environment that we build in partnership: Oracle Premier Support customers and Oracle Support engineers. Support engineers provide their knowledge and Oracle information; you will find a trusted network of Oracle customers, who share similar goals, and who have tackled many of the real-world challenges you face. You can learn new approaches to situations and examine different perspectives to find the best answer for your environment. Together, we help you take the path to success.
