ANNOUNCING RELEASE 1.3.5 OF ORACLE ENTERPRISE MANAGER!
Oracle Enterprise Manager Release 1.3.5 is now available. It is being
released in conjunction with
the new Oracle 7.3.3 RDBMS Server.
What is Oracle Enterprise Manager?
Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) is an open framework consisting of a console,
applications,
agent, and a set of common services used to manage Oracle systems. The OEM
Console provides
Oracle administrators with an intuitive, easy to use interface and a high
degree of automation
through remote task execution and reactive and proactive management
capabilities. Oracle
Enterprise Manager applications consist of the Standard Applications,
Performance Pack, and
Integrated Applications.
What's new in Oracle Enterprise Manager Release 1.3.5?
Release 1.3.5 of Oracle Enterprise Manager includes significant improvements
to both its user
interface and core functionality for:
- ease of use
- ease of installation & configuration
- backwards compatibility
Oracle Enterprise Manager Console
The Oracle Enterprise Manager console itself is new and improved. An
Administrator Toolbar has
been added, allowing the user to launch OEM applications from the main Windows
screen. In
addition, enhancements to the Standard Application user interfaces have been
made, including:
* More robust Drag & Drop and Right-Mouse-Button support
* Dual user interface modes ("Basic", "Advanced") for DB Administration
applications,
allowing users to specify the level of operational detail
* Window size & location memory
Installation of Oracle Enterprise Manager
The installation and configuration of OEM 1.3.5 has been simplified, requiring
fewer steps than
before, thanks to new automated repository generation and Auto Discovery
features.
Automatic Repository Creation:
Beginning with Release 1.3.5, the installation of OEM no longer requires
manual creation of the
repository. Upon installation, the repository is automatically created for
the user. Also, upgrading
is simple since previous versions of the OEM repository are compatible with
Release 1.3.5.
Auto Discovery and Wizard:
The improved 7.3.3 Intelligent Agent is accompanied by the Auto Discovery
feature. Once a node
within an enterprise has been identified by the user, Auto Discovery detects
and identifies the
services residing on that node, configures the pertinent system files and
parameters, and integrates
the services into the environment if desired. The administration of this
process is simplified by the
Auto Discovery Wizard user interface tool.
Standard Applications
In addition to the overall user interface enhancements made to the Oracle
Enterprise Manager Console,
the following 'Wizards' (informative step-by-step interface guides) have been
added:
Oracle Data Manager:
* Export Wizard
* Import Wizard
* Load Wizard
Oracle Schema Manager:
* Table Wizard
Performance Pack
Performance Pack, OEM's value-added set of specialized database performance,
diagnostic and
tuning applications, has received functional and user interface upgrades as
well:
Oracle Trace and Oracle Trace Manager:
Oracle Trace Manager, an application for controlling Oracle Trace collections,
is now officially
released as production in 1.3.5. Representing a significantly enhanced user
interface for performing
Oracle Trace operations, its new capabilities include:
* Auto Discovery of Trace-enabled products on managed nodes
* Collections Wizard
* Collection status viewer
* Scheduling and launching of remote collections through the OEM Job System
* Automatic formatting of collections
Oracle Expert:
* Enhanced structure tuning: sizing temporary segments
* New navigator tree view of databases and tuning sessions
* Improved 'view recommendation detail' function
* Improved organization of session data schema objects
* Prioritized index recommendations
Oracle Tablespace Manager:
* Improved defragmentation error-checking
* New export/import failure tests
Oracle Performance Manager:
* Grouped line charts
Note: Although Web applications and SNMP MIB browsing will not be available
in OEM
Release 1.3.5, look for similar functionality in upcoming releases.
Packaging
The Oracle Enterprise Manager Standard Applications are shipped free with the
Oracle 7.3.3
Server. The Performance Pack Applications are now sold as a licensed package
