Hi All,

We have 10g Grid Control. But what is happening is there seems to be time difference between the OEM Grid Timestamp and the time that OEM mail server sends email about occurrance of the incident.

For ex : Last night we had to make an database into Archivelog Mode. It took place at 9.10 PM but where as we got an email at 3.16 PM today . What might be the reason behind this . I mean which areas should I look into to come to some conclusion.

Kindly suggest me .

Regards,
Raj

>What might be the reason behind this
Something is amiss.
When was the last time it worked as expected?
What has changed?

What do the log files show?

Hi sorry for the delay . Till the other day it was working fine. As I mentioned you , we had to make the database from No Archive log to Archive log . And only after that it's showing the time difference.

Nothing is specified in the Alert Log apart from this

ALTER DATABASE CLOSE NORMAL~ORA-1507 signalled during: ALTER DATABASE CLOSE NORMAL...~ARCH: Archival disabled due to shutdown: 1089~Shutting down archive processes~Archiving is disabled~Archive process shutdown avoided: 0 active~ARCH: Archival disabled due to shutdown: 1089~Shutting down archive processes~Archiving is disabled~Archive process shutdown avoided: 0 active.


Any help on this please.

Regards,
Raj

Hi All,

As I've asked you earlier also, I'm clueless why there is the time difference between the OEM notification alert and the occurrance of the event . We have our Grid Control Agent on one server and the database that the event took place on other server. Both are showing the same time.

OEM GRID : Timestamp=Mar 19, 2009 9:12:48 PM EST
Time Sent from Mail Server : Friday, March 20, 2009 3:16 AM


Can somebody help me in fixing this. Why is the time difference for that alert .

I doubt the system upon which OEM runs, is the enterprise primary mail server.
If so the message was routed from the OEM server to the main Post Office (PO) system, & then subsequently delivered to the client.
A detailed inspection of the mail log files on both the OEM & PO systems should be able to identify upon which system them message sat for an extended period.
Once you know where, perhaps you can deduce why it got delayed.

If you force an email out of OEM to the same recipient now/today,
how long does delivery take now?

But it was fine till the other day , I mean when we made the database from no archive log to archive log mode. Even now it's fine. We get the mails immediately at the occurrance of the event. I tested just now for some metric , I got it in a moment.

Can you help me where we can find all the log files that you've mentioned ( mail logs ) on both the OEM and PO systems. And how do we find out which is the enterprise primary mail server where the OEM runs ?

Once a reply from you , I'll look into that and get back to you.

I suggest you get assistance from your "POSTMASTER", the person who is responsible email delivery for your organization.
It takes a trained eye or knowledgeable person to understand the contents of the maillog file.

Sure .I'll take the assistance of the Postmaster as you've suggested. And what will be the location of the mail logs.

And I want to learn more about the Grid Management . Can you suggest me some good book or a site , where I can configure ,start and stop agents. In fact all about the Grid Control.

Mahesh,

I did try searching in tahiti.oracle.com but it gives me so many docs. Confused which is the correct one. My basic requirement is I want to learn about the grid control. Even though I'm working in the grid control, it's just here and there at the time of requirement.

Can you please help me which will be the correct book for the Grid control , right from basics. I'm eager to learn .

>>right from basics
We have been stressing this again and again.
Enterprise Manager is just a tool.
In order to use the "tool" efficiently, you need to understand the "trade".
