At the summary screen (Figure 1-19), make a record of the database SID and the database control URL, then click Exit.
Note:
Before you begin, determine the Console Server port:Open the emoms.properties
file in a text editor. The file is located in:
<ora_home>/<servername>_<SID>/sysman/config/
Find the line,
oracle.sysman.emSDK.svlt.ConsoleServerPort
and make a record of the port number value at the end of the line.
Log in to the Oracle Enterprise Manager console:
Execute the following command: emctl status dbconsole
The command should return an output similar to the following:
