This chapter covers the following topics:
The Oracle Application Management Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite extends Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c Cloud Control to help monitor and manage Oracle E-Business Suite systems more effectively. This plug-in integrates Oracle Applications Manager with Cloud Control to provide a consolidated, end-to-end Oracle E-Business Suite management solution. The plug-in can be used to manage Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 systems.
For a list of supported versions, see My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 2887017.1, Getting Started with Oracle Application Management Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite, Release 13.5.1.0.0.
For a list of prerequisites, see My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 2887017.1, Getting Started with Oracle Application Management Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite, Release 13.5.1.0.0.
Ensure that the following OS/User Group requirement has been met: It is recommended that the Oracle E-Business Suite OS user and the Enterprise Manager Agent OS user are the same. If they are different, then they must belong to the same OS group.
You can download plug-ins in online or offline mode. Online mode refers to an environment where you have Internet connectivity and can download the plug-in directly through Enterprise Manager from My Oracle Support. Offline mode refers to an environment where you do not have Internet connectivity or where the plug-in is not available from My Oracle Support.
See "Managing Plug-Ins" in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide for details on downloading the plug-in in either mode.
The following details of the Oracle E-Business Suite plug-in can be used for searching in the Self Update feature of the Enterprise Manager console:
Plug-in Name: Oracle E-Business Suite Description: Enterprise Manager for Oracle E-Business Suite consists of System Management and Change Management Feature Sets Version: 13.5.1.0.0
You can deploy the plug-in to an Oracle Management Service instance using the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control console, or using the EM Command Line Interface (EM CLI). While the console enables you to deploy one plug-in at a time, the command line interface mode enables you to deploy multiple plug-ins at a time, thus saving plug-in deployment time and downtime, if applicable.
See "Managing Plug-Ins" in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide for instructions on deploying the plug-in:
A Management Agent must be present on all hosts containing targets that will be monitored/managed by the plug-in.
This step is required only if a Management Agent is not already present on a host containing targets to be managed.
See "Installing Oracle Management Agents" in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Basic Installation Guide for instructions on deploying a Management Agent to a host machine.
To monitor and manage Oracle E-Business Suite instances running on Oracle Cloud, you must deploy Hybrid Cloud Agents onto the Oracle Cloud virtual hosts.
For more information on Hybrid Cloud Management and for instructions to enable the feature, see the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide.
After the plug-in is deployed, targets that will be managed/monitored by the plug-in must be "discovered" by Oracle Enterprise Manager.
For information on discovery, see the chapter Discovering Oracle E-Business Suite with Cloud Control.
See the Oracle Application Management Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite Metric Reference Manual.
For instructions on how to upgrade the plug-in, see My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 2887017.1, Getting Started with Oracle Application Management Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite, Release 13.5.1.0.0.
Only Smart Clone procedures are supported in this release. As a prerequisite to running a Smart Clone procedure, the target Oracle E-Business Suite database must be cloned and discovered in the Enterprise Manager.
Clone transaction data created in previous releases will not be usable in this release. After you upgrade from an earlier release, the old cloning transactions will not be available.
See "Managing Plug-Ins" in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide for steps to undeploy the plug-in.
