Chapter 4: Oracle Enterprise Manager 46

Configuration Tutorial

The following eight steps provide a tutorial and example of setting up

Autodiscovery and persistent Enterprise Manager Jobs.

Step 1. In accordance with Metalink Note 190026.1, establish a fixed value

for the Agent dbsnmpkey. Place this value in a file of your choosing in the

share Oracle Home (e.g., $ORACLE_HOME/network/agent/dbsnmpkey.txt).

Without this key file, the agent file objects created by job submission (*.q)

are not valid after a failover. The pathname of the file is an option passed

to the agentctl start command. The following screen shows an example of

the location and contents of the key file.
