Re: 9i OEM agent fails to start on windows

It was for similar reasons that I refer to the software as the semi-intelligent agent.

We have found that, whilst in general I want to be notified on exceptions (backup failed, some test failed etc) it is a very good idea to have a daily mail that always reaches you - that way when it doesn't you stand a good chance of noticing that your monitoring solution isn't monitoring.

The same can of course also be achieved by having a system chock full of repeating problems. This may involve purchasing third COTS packages.
