Create Named Credential

As part of the management process, you must create a named credential to enable management activities for the Oracle FS System target within Oracle Enterprise Manager.

Prerequisites:
  • Host name for the Oracle FS System target.

  • Login credentials for the Oracle FS System target.

Your Oracle FS System system administrator can provide this information.

You create a Named Credential from theSetup menu at the top of the Oracle Enterprise Manager page. When a target is added, the user name and password given during the 'Add a Target' process is used for monitoring and is called the Monitoring Credential. The Named Credential is used for management actions within the plug-in; this management account is not required for metric collection or reporting. You use the Monitoring Credential account for that activity. .

You can use the same Oracle FS System account for both the Named Credential and Monitoring Credential. You may want to use one Oracle FS System account for monitoring and running reports and another Oracle FS System account for configuring the Oracle FS System
