Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center includes several administrative tools for viewing and fine-tuning the product's features. This chapter discusses these tools.
The following features and topics are covered in this chapter:
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center provides you with a variety of tools for understanding and managing your data center.
You can view services and logs, add an alias to ensure that a product is recognized, add and edit authentications for external sites, and edit the energy cost used to calculate the power cost of assets.
Some of the procedures described in this section use the ecadm and proxyadm commands. See the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center Feature Reference Guide for more information about these commands.
On Oracle Solaris systems, these commands are in the /opt/SUNWxvmoc/bin/ directory.
On Linux systems, these commands are in the /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/ directory.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center relies on the services listed in Table 4-1, "Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center Services". The status of these services is monitored and displayed in the UI. The Fault Management Resource Identifier (FMRI) for each service can be used with SMF commands.
Do not disable these services outside of the software. Use the ecadm, proxyadm, and agentadm commands to manage the services.
Table 4-1, "Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center Services" shows the names, FRMI identifiers, and normal statuses of the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center services.

Authentications, such as My Oracle Support (MOS) or other credentials, are used to download content such as updates from Oracle or third-party sites. MOS credentials are also used to create service requests.
You can add or edit authentications to access additional external resources.
If you have not configured Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) with a set of MOS credentials, OCM uses the MOS credentials supplied to Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center to configure itself. After OCM has configured itself using a valid set of authenticated credentials, it does not use any other MOS credentials.
If OCM is already configured, no attempt is made to reconfigure it with new credentials.
Note:
You must register the Enterprise Controller before adding My Oracle Support credentials.To Add or Edit Authentications
