Preface

Purpose of this Guide

This manual provides configuration information and answers to crucial troubleshooting questions pertaining to the Oracle Intelligent Agent. The Intelligent Agent User's Guide is directed towards users of Oracle Enterprise Manager Version 1 and Version 2, as well as other supported system management frameworks that communicate with the Oracle database through the Intelligent Agent.

Important: Enterprise Manager Version 2 uses a middle-tier Management Server. Users of Enterprise Manager Version 1 should ignore references to this component.
