Enterprise Manager 12c – Configuration Management Date: 20/11/2012 Author: Rob Zoeteweij http://oemgc.wordpress.com Where in Enterprise Manager 10 and 11g, the Configuration Management Pack provided us with Configuration search and Comparison features; Enterprise Manager 12c provides these features (and more) through packaging in the following Packs: • Management Pack for Oracle Coherence • Application Management Pack for Fusion Applications • Oracle Database Lifecycle Management Pack • Configuration Management Pack for Applications • WLS Management Pack EE • SOA Management Pack EE • Oracle BI Management Pack • Management Pack for Non-‐Oracle Middleware In this document I like to show how easy it is to perform queries on the CMDB within Enterprise Manager, based on the ‘Out of Box’ queries that come along with the package. To access the Configuration Search options simply navigate from the Enterprise Menu Configuration Search
Here we will access the “Configuration Search Library” containing several “Out of Box” search “Definitions” allowing us to execute specific queries on the CMDB (Configuration Management Database).
Executing one of the queries means nothing more than selecting one of the queries and pressing the [Run] Icon.
In the “Edit/Run Search” page you will be able to modify the search criteria by adding Relationships (like “Monitored by Agent”) or to simply add additional properties. In the example above we are running the query “Search Host Operating System and Hardware Summaries”.
In the example we would like to limit the number of columns of the result to only those columns we are interested in. By selecting View Columns we are able to include or remove columns to the end result of the query.
If we are satisfied with the query and it’s results we can save the query for future use by selecting the [Save As] button.
Here we enter a name that logically describes the query purpose and press [OK]
