We're getting ready to think about OEM due to tight funds. We could really use something for DB2, Sql Server and Oracle, but that doesn't look to promising right now. So, we're hoping OEM may do for most of the "major" things.
Perhaps some of you have already got into that and have the "This works" and the "This will work when pigs fly" type scenarios that you've already worked through.

I was the ideas man for "Empirical Director" but that's gone now. For now I've been using summary reports that are generated 1-2 times a day and they track tablespace growth, no room for next extent, I/O activity, tablespaces < 30%, scan the alert log, and several other things. They get emailed. It's manual, but the "manual" makes sure it gets done. Outlook dumps them into a specific folder so "other" things are not overwhelmed by the logs.

If you have some pointers, thank you very much.

Subject: OEM Implementation Plan

HI Gang,
This is the first communication on our OEM plan. The objective of this plan is to design, configure and deploy OEM to automate, diagnose and manage some of our production support responsibilities. The implementation design and configuration phases will be planned by reviewing the responses to several research questions. I would like each of you who wish to contribute to send me your views on the questions. I will compile a consensus opinion and redistribute. Please judge the appropriateness and completeness of the questions. If you feel an additional question is necessary to fully understand an issue, please propose. Thank you in advance for your help.

Design Questions:

What functions should OEM be expected to perform?

Should OEM repositories be distributed (by subject areas) or centralized (one repository)?

Regards,
RLA Randall L. Anderson
Team Lead, Oracle
