Configuring Grid Control

1. Configuring Grid Control

2. Objectives • After completing this lesson, you should be able to: • Create roles • Create administrators • Grant privileges • Set up preferred credentials • Describe the steps to set up Enterprise Manager Command Line Interface (EM CLI)

3. Roles • Roles are groups of system or target privileges, or both, created by Super Administrators. They can: • Limit target access through target privileges • Limit access to features through system privileges • Facilitate the further granting of privileges and roles • Be made up of: • System privileges • Targets • Target privileges • Other roles

4. Privileges • There are two categories of privileges in Grid Control: • System privileges • Target privileges

5. System Privileges • System privileges allow a user to perform systemwide operations. They are: • VIEWANYTARGET • ADDANYTARGET • USEANYBEACON • GRANTANYREPORTVIEWER • MONITORENTERPRISEMANAGER

6. Target Privileges • Target privileges allow a user to perform operations on a target. They are: • View • Operator • Startup • Shutdown • Edit properties • Full

7. Creating Roles • On the Grid Control home page, click Setup, and then click Roles.

8. Administrators • There are two types of Administrator accounts in Grid Control: • Super Administrator • Administrator

9. Creating Administrators • On the Grid Control home page, click Setup, and then click Administrators.

10. Maintaining Administrators • It is possible to change the properties of administrators such as: • Changing the password or e-mail address • Assigning or taking away: • Roles • System privileges • Targets • Target privileges

11. Preferences • Use the Preferences screen to administer the preferences for the current user: • General • Preferred Credentials • Notification: • My Rules • Public Rules • Schedule • Target Subtabs

12. Preferred Credentials • Preferred credentials simplify access to targets that you manage. Preferred credentials are set for the following target types: • Databases • Host • Listener

13. Setting Preferred Credentials • Preferred credentials can be set, modified, or deleted from the Preferred Credentials page.

14. Managing Target Subtabs • Customize Grid Control target subtabs to match your division of system responsibility.

15. Enterprise Manager Command Line Interface • The Enterprise Manager Command Line Interface (EM CLI) provides text-based access to the Grid Control functionality. It provides: • Integration with third-party or custom software via scripting • Management Repository data extraction for manipulation and reporting purposes • The EM CLI consists of two components: • EM CLI Client • EM CLI Oracle Management Service Extension

16. Setting Up the EM CLI • To set up EM CLI, perform the following steps: • Obtain the EM CLI kit from Oracle Technology Network (OTN). • Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to ensure that it is part of your PATH. • Install the EM CLI Management Services Extension on the OMS machine. • Install the EM CLI Client on any machine on your network. • Run the “setup” verb from the EM CLI Client.

17. Summary • In this lesson, you should have learned how to: • Create roles • Create administrators • Grant privileges • Set up preferred credentials • Describe the steps to set up Enterprise Manager Command Line Interface (EM CLI)

18. Practice 7 Overview: Configuring Grid Control • This practice covers the following topics: • Creating Roles • Creating Administrators • Setting Preferred Credentials • Customizing Target Subtabs
