Since 2003 worked for 2,5 years for Oracle Expert Services (Netherlands) and since 2007 working as an independent Oracle Consultant.
The primary focus during the last 15 years is Oracle RDBMS, RAC, ASM and Oracle Enterprise Manager – Cloud Control.
Apart of working on implementation of EM Cloud Control on several large projects, I have also been working as freelance trainer at 5-Hart IT Training – Netherland, Oracle University and the Oracle Partner Program.

July the 1st 2018, I joined Oracle Consulting Services (Netherlands) again. I need to express that all comments made and information I share with you guys on this blog, are mine and not necessarily Oracle’s.
Starting November 2018, I will extend the focus on this blog beyond EM Cloud Control and start writing on other subjects like the Oracle Cloud and Autonomous Database. I hope it will be of interest to you guys, any feedback is appreciated.

Hi Rob, there is a patch available for this now which clears up this annoyance, under ARU #13064018.
Hello Rob,
I’ve got the problem of em agent on AIX 5.3 TL8 that ramping up the kernel memory (%system from nmon) around 2% a day. If I stop the agent, only 0.2% of system memory increases. Do you face any problem like this before?
Best regards,
Bundit
No sorry Bundit, I have not experienced such a problem. Keep my eyes open though 😉
Hi Rob,
I am interested to know if you have created tablespace alerts which look at both percent free and space free.
Eg. Alert if tablesapce is > 85% full and there is = threshold, then check fee space (mb), if both fail send alert.
Thanks,
Daniel
Rob,
Congratulations on breaking the “1000 points barrier” on Forum: Enterprise Manager Grid Control
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=220
Obviously still a lot of Grid Control questions exist. I hope you can keep up the good work.

Hello Rob,
Good work on 11g Grid Control white papers. I was similar issue, when installing new 11g gc on HP-UX 11.31. I wanted to know did you get any fix for that issue. White paper (Upgrading OEM GC 10.2.0.5 to 11.1, Date: 19-04-2010).
When looking at the “All Targets” page you will notice “/secFarm_GCDomain/GCDomain/EMGC_ADMINSERVER/FMW_Welcom_Page_Application(11.1.0.0.0) Target bwing down. Still need to sort out this one.
I have same issue after 11g OEM installation. Let us know any fix for this issue, it will help lot.
Thanks
Mohan, the fix/ARU that Rob mentions above ARU 13064018 is a generic platform fix so you can also apply this fix on 11g OEM on HP-UX.
hope this helps
Hello Andrew, Thanks for update. I have not get it what is ARU 13064018 ?. I checked it oracle website. Did not found any thing. Now I stuck in applying patch for that. Error applying 9431704. opatch apply is giving error.

Any thoughts helpfull. please update your views.

Hi Mohan, it would not be appropriate for me to run an Oracle Support activity on this forum. You should raise an SR with Oracle Support at support.oracle.com using your company CSI and MOS credentials.
I suspect that you are hitting the issue described in MOS Note 1139533.1 but to be safe you should continue this discussion with Oracle Support to ensure due diligence is performed on your environment.
Hope this helps.
Hi Rob,
I’ve search Google and Oracle Support and can’t find the answer to what am trying to achieve. Seeing that you are an Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) guru, perhaps you can spare some of your time to response if what am wanting to do is possible in OEM.
I’ve created several groups named DEV, TEST, PROD and at the moment, am accessing them via Targets -> Groups -> DEV. I want to be able to include these groups as one of the Target items instead so that when I click on the Targets tab, it is showing them as one of the Targets to click on.
So for example, at the moment, the Targets items are showing as below
Hosts | Databases | Middleware | Web Applications | …. | All Targets
I want the target to instead show
Hosts | Databases | Middleware | Web Applications | …. | DEV | TEST | PROD | All Targets
or maybe
Hosts | Databases | Middleware | Web Applications | …. | All Targets | DEV | TEST | PROD
Can you advise if this is possible? FYI, am using OEM Grid Control 10.2.0.5.
Any response will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hello Ed,
it is pretty simple to implement this.
Just navigate Preferences –> Target Subtabs and include those groups you want. As easy as 1,2, 3

Rob
Hi Rob,
I’m using GC 10g R5 (10.2.0.5.4) on AIX 5.3. Have you ever seen the error message “The details of the chosen corrective action are not available.” when you try to drill down into the results of a corrective action that was assigned to a Web Application and that fired when the web app went down one day?
The link to drill down is found when you click on the icon that looks like eye spectacles/glasses in the History/Availability table.
I’m thinking of logging it as an SR.
Hello Rob,
Could you please help me to find any documents or any topics for monitoring Siebel 8 and E-business Suite using Oracle Grid Control 12c.
Thank you in advance,

Hello Mostafa,
did you check white paper: http://www.oracle.com/us/products/enterprise-manager/managing-oracle-apps-404877.pdf

Hello Rob,
We care considering at Eneco.com an OEM12c upgrade from 12.1.0.2 to 12.1.0.3. We are searching now for the ‘problems en bugs solved’ document in order to easify the go decision from team management. Can you be of any help?

Hi Rob,
How do you automate Cloud Control 12c agent start after host restarts? Unlike EM 10g there are not /etc/init.d/grstartup scripts.
Thanks,
Daniel
Rob,
Anyone automating RAC installs using Chef? You aware of others working in this area?
Thanks for blog; RABO 2009 paper brought me here.
