This is from a tar I opened with Oracle: Kimberly, My name is Eddie and I will be assisting you with this tar. Oracle Server versions 8.0.5.x and earlier are officially dessupported, so no compatibility testing was performed on them. I would expect OEM 9i to work in the configuration that you explained, but this is not certified so compatibility issues may be present. Oracle Server 8.1.5.x is also desupported so it would follow the same guidlines. Oracle Server 8.0.6.x, 8.1.6.x, 8.1.7.x and 9i are officially supported and certified for use with version 9i OEM. Besides the certification issues, having an Oracle Intelligent Agent monitoring one or more seperate Oracle Homes on a server is a design feature of the Oracle Intelligent Agent. Eddie
-----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 11:40 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I am trying to autodiscover a server in the OEM console in an 8.1.7.2 database on Sun Solaris 2.6. The databases on the other host are 8.0.4, 8.1.5, 8.1.7.2, and 9.0.1. I am using an 9.0.1 Intelligent Agent on the remote host where I want to monitor. When I try to autodiscover, I get the following error: Discovery Failed: VNI-4050: Agent is running, but version is not compatible. I looked this error up on Metalink and found the following compatibility matrix. It would appear that the 8.1.7 Intelligent Agent is not compatible with 8.0.4 RDBMS. However, I am using a 9.0.1 Intelligent Agent. I couldn't find a similar compatibility matrix for 9i. Does anyone else know where I can find it. Also, is anyone successfully using a 9.0.1 Intelligent Agent against an 8.0.4 database? If you are, what version of other components are you using? What version of RDMBS's are you successfully monitoring? |----+---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------> | | | |----+---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | |Overview | |======== | | | |The following article describes the compatibility of each tier (Console, | |OMS, Agent and Database) of the Enterprise Manager 2.x architecture with | |each other.
