I was lucky enough to be the first few to get my hands dirty with 12c @ openworld. Its pretty sleek.
A well re-written EM with a stunning UI and 200+ key new features. Anyone in 10g GC should safely ignore 11g and migrate to 12c. It’s a state of the art Oracle’s integrated enterprise IT management product line that provides the industry’s first complete cloud life-cycle management solution. Unlike the earlier releases, 12c let you to quickly set up, manage and support enterprise clouds and traditional Oracle IT environments from applications to disk via the integrated Cloud technology stack. As Oracle starting to depreciate its OAS to leave the way to WLS, 12c is yet another product built on WLS platform.
Due to the magnitude of key new features, I have to partition those into 2.
Incident management:
Incident Management is a new functional are that builds upon EM’s existing monitoring capabilities. With 12c, instead of managing numerous discrete events, this feature enables you to create and manage a fewer set of incidents. You can easily create incident object for important an incident can be created containing a group of related events that pertain to the same issue (e.g. create one incident for high load on a host server when CPU utilization and memory utilization events occur).12c also provides features to assign, track, diagnose and resolve the incidents. The Incident Manager console provides a centralized way to manage incidents and problems detected in your EM environment.
To stretch the capabilities further, Incident Manager provides several options for further diagnostics and taking action. You can click and review the various diagnostic and action links provided for, say corrupt datafile.
Real-time integration of Oracle’s knowledgebase:
Lets assume we encountered a critical software error. In EM a diagnostic incident is automatically created and a problem object is also created in Incident Manager. EM can be set up in a such way to create a SR through Support Workbench. This is phenomenal especially with ORA-600 errors.
Setup rules to auto-assign and escalate incidents
Rule Sets enable you to automate operations on events, incidents, and problems,. For example, you might want to create a rule that will automatically create an incident for target down events. Or you might have another rule that sends notifications for critical incidents.
Self-update console
In the prior releases, you had to download agent software or other Oracle Enterprise Manager updates from OTN, e‐Delivery, My Oracle Support (MOS) notes, and numerous other sources. With new self-update console, EM provides a centralized delivery mechanism for all the Oracle Enterprise Manager updates.
Configuration Topology Viewer
EM graphically displays targets and their relationships to one another in the topology viewer. Using the topology viewer you can perform Impact and Root cause analysis as well as take action on any displayed target by accessing its target specific menu.
Gold Image Configuration Comparison
Enterprise Manager has sophisticated configuration comparison capabilities including the ability to control the comparison results using templates. These templates can be configured to ignore known differences among many other features. Users can save a snapshot of a target or entire application stack as a baseline or gold standard for later use in comparison.
This is extremely useful when you have a custom application that behaves frantically. You can use the configuration comparison feature to compare the saved Gold Image of the application to see if there are any important differences between it and the current application configuration to sense
Configuration Search
Enterprise Manager has easy to searching capabilities that allows users to graphically build search specifications using both configuration and relationship.
To be Continued.
