Oracle Enterprise Manager – products managed by Enterprise Manager
The article will provide a user with information and guidance on the products that are managed by the Enterprise Manager.
Enterprise manager is a system management product from the Oracle Corporation that provides a set of features for the comprehensive management of Oracle products like Oracle Database, Oracle WebLogic Server, Oracle SOA suite, Oracle Applications, and so on. Enterprise Manager also provides management support for non-Oracle products including databases like SQL Server, middleware platforms such as JBoss Application Server, IBM WebSphere MQ, and storage management system such as NetApp.
The data centers contain many types of IT resources from different vendors, and different technology platforms. There may also be homegrown products or applications in data centers. Enterprise Manager provides management support for most of the common resources, but there could be some resources for which there is no support out-of-box. Enterprise Manager provides a framework to extend management support for such resources. This provides an opportunity to users and third party vendors who can build custom management support. Enterprise Manager also provides connectors to integrate with help desk products like BMC Remedy or HP Service Center. By integrating EM with these products, alerts on the EM side can be converted to tickets on the help desk side and resolution of those tickets can clear alerts generated on the EM side.
Enterprise Manager Architecture
The Enterprise Manager product is built using Java technology and an Oracle database. The Enterprise Manager product runs on top of Oracle Application Server and uses an Oracle Database as its persistence store. Enterprise Manager has three main components:
• Oracle Management Service (OMS)
• Oracle Management Agent (OMA)
• Oracle Management Repository (OMR)
For user interactions there is a centralized cosole that operates upon the Management Repository and uses services provided by the Management Server. This is a browser-based console.
In a typical setup, one management agent needs to be installed (on each host to be managed) that uploads data to the Management Server and that, in turn, persists the data in the repository. A system administrator can access this data or initiate or schedule an operation though the console.
