1 Installing the System Monitoring Plug-in for TimesTen

The System Monitoring Plug-In for Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database extends Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control to add support for monitoring TimesTen databases.

This chapter focuses on the installation of the TimesTen plug-in.

Topics include:

Note:

The instructions and screenshots of this user's guide are based on Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 3.

Installation prerequisites

Before installing the System Monitoring Plug-In for TimesTen:

  • Install Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 2 (or higher) for OMS, Enterprise Manager Repository, and Agent. Make sure the agent can successfully communicate with your Oracle Enterprise Manager Server and can upload data.

  • Install Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Release 11.2.1.8 (or later) or 11.2.2.1 (or later).

Note:

The Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Agent and the TimesTen database must reside on the same machine.

When you configure your TimesTen target, you need to know:

  • The name of your TimesTen instance

  • DSN

    The DSN must be a system DSN that is described in either your sys.odbc.ini file or the ODBC Data Source Administrator on MS Windows.

  • The TimesTen database username and password

    • The username and password are required when you configure the TimesTen target.

    • The user you specify when you configure the TimesTen target must have ADMIN privileges. The user cannot be the instance administrator.

Note:

Be sure the TimesTen database specified by the instance and DSN is loaded.

For information on your TimesTen instance, run the ttStatus or ttVersion utility. For more information, see "ttStatus" or "ttVersion" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Reference.

Additional requirements

Additional requirements or considerations include:

  • Use direct linked connections to define your target DSN. Client/Server connections are not supported for your target DSN.

  • The System Monitoring Plug-in for TimesTen generates temporary files. Each temporary file could require between 10 KB to 30 KB of free space on the Oracle Enterprise Manager Agent file system. If the Oracle Enterprise Manager Agent file system is full, the Oracle Enterprise Manager Agent can no longer monitor the TimesTen database. For information about the system requirements for the Oracle Enterprise Manager Agent, see "CPU, RAM, and Hard Disk Space Requirements for Management Agents" in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Basic Installation Guide.

  • The Operating System User who installs the Oracle Enterprise Manager Agent must belong to the TimesTen users group of the installation being monitored. Also, make sure the user has read access to /etc/TimesTen/instance_info. For more information about the TimesTen users group, see "Create the TimesTen users group" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Installation Guide.

  • For optimal performance, make sure TimesTen is on a different machine than the Oracle Enterprise Management Service (OMS) and the Enterprise Manager Repository.

  • Make sure the My Oracle Support credentials are set up using the SYSMAN user. This is required to enable updates (plug-ins) to be downloaded from the My Oracle Support site. For more information, see "Saving Preferred Credentials to Access My Oracle Support" in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Lifecycle Management Administrator's Guide.

  • Make sure the Software Library (also known as the local store) is configured. Updates are downloaded to this local store before being deployed into Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control. For more information, see "Configuring an OMS Shared Filesystem Location" in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide.

You then configure your TimesTen database as one of the targets for the agent and the agent begins the process of monitoring your target.

You must deploy the plug-in on OMS before deploying the plug-in on one or more Management Agents.

Note:

If there is a failure when deploying the plug-in, the Management Repository could be in an inconsistent state. It is recommended that you back up the Management Repository before deploying the plug-in.

To deploy the plug-in on OMS, make sure you are on the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control home page and are logged in as user SYSMAN.

Uninstalling the System Monitoring Plug-in for TimesTen

You must remove all TimesTen targets before you can undeploy the plug-in. For example, if you have three TimesTen targets and two targets are deployed to one agent and the third target is deployed to a second agent, you must:

  • Remove target 1 on agent 1.

  • Remove target 2 on agent 1.

  • Remove target 3 on agent 2.

You then undeploy and delete the plug-in from the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.

To uninstall the System Monitoring Plug-in for TimesTen 11g:

Remove the TimesTen target

For each TimesTen target you wish to remove:

  1. From the Targets menu, select All Targets on the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c home page.

    Figure 1-52 Choose All Targets

    Description of Figure 1-52 follows
    Description of "Figure 1-52 Choose All Targets"
