EM HowTo Reset sysman

Password
Resetting SYSMAN's password Oracle 10gR2

1. Set environment variables

set ORACLE_HOME=yourOracleHome

set ORACLE_SID=yourSID

set PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH (assuming unix OS)

2. Shutdown EM and ensure your console is completely shutdown.

emctl stop dbconsole

emctl status dbconsole

3. From a SQL plus prompt modify sysman's password

SQL> alter user SYSMAN identified by yourNewPassword;

4. Verify you can open a sqlplus session with the sysman user using the reseted

password.

sqlplus sysman/yourNewPassword

SQL>

5. Reconfigure password

a. Change directory to ORACLE_HOME/hostname_sid/sysman/config

b. Backup file emoms.properties

c. Edit the file emoms.properties

d. Look for the line beginning with:

oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepPwd=

Replace the encrypted value by the new password value

e. Look for the line:

oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepPwdEncrypted=TRUE

Replace TRUE by FALSE

6. Start the EM service

emctl start dbconsole

7. Verify the above written password has been changed to an encrypted version in the

emoms.properties file.

8. EM DB Control should be up and running by now.

EM DB Control Reconfi gure

 

Reconfiguring Enterprise Manager or rebuilding EM repository is a very common issue, as far as I

have seen on the OTN Forums, these are simple steps to reconfigure and/or rebuild EM

repository.  The port configuration is optional and should be used only in case the port is to be

changed or if there are port conflicts. 

set oracle_sid=YourInstanceName

emctl stop dbconsole

emca -deconfig dbcontrol db

emca -repos recreate

emca -config dbcontrol db

emca -reconfig ports -DBCONTROL_HTTP_PORT 80

 EM Troubleshooting
 

Configuring EM on DHCP environments. 

Dynamic IP assignment cause EM not to properly work, or work in an intermitent way.  It is

suggested to configure the loopback adapter and once done,  to reconfigure your Enterprise

Manager.

For further references on how to configure Loopback Adapter these references are recommended

Installing on DHCP environments

http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14316/reqs.htm#BABBDGBI

In order to reconfigure Enterprise Managers

 set oracle_sid=YourInstanceName
 emctl stop dbconsole
 emca -deconfig dbcontrol db
 emca -repos recreate
 emca -config dbcontrol db

Internet Explorer Enhanced Security 

I recently faced a similar situation, IE6, this didn't show any thing. It happened that due to

security issues, this was not added as a secure site. When this feature is enabled IE asks you if

you want to add this site to the secure list. It also displays a check box, in case you want to

display this again in the future. In case this checkbox is marked, there is no prompt in the future,

and the site is not displayed. I had to reconfigure this so it could be displayed.

I have disabled the "IE Enhanced Security Option" from the windows components at the

add/remove software option from the control panel. 

 
/etc/hosts

The hostname must be properly identified by the hostname resolution mechanism, the most

commonly used is the hosts file.  At the hosts file, in case DHCP is used and in case a loopback

adapter has been configured, the IP address against which the hostname has to solved is the one

assigned to the loopback adapter.

"Error loading listener" or "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error" when accessing the DBConsole URL

This error appears when upgrading from 10.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.3.0.  If this is the case, read

metalink note 431519.1.
