Yes (A comma-separated list of plug-in names, where the plug-in names must be in double quotes) |
For example: By default, all plug-ins deployed on the OMS are automatically upgraded when newer versions exist or migrated when newer versions do not exist. Also, new plug-ins are deployed when the plug-ins being upgraded have new dependencies or when there are any new default plug-ins introduced with a release. You might have a deprecated plug-in in your environment that can be upgraded to a plug-in version that is supported only in 13c Release 4, but not in any of the future releases. If such a deprecated plug-in exists, then evaluate your and decide whether or not you want to proceed with the upgrade of such plug-ins. Note: If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Enterprise Manager Cloud Control to version 13.4.0.0, and in the earlier version you have deployed plug-ins, then these plug-ins will get removed in the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13.4.0.0 software binaries. Therefore, you must make sure that you download the plug-ins using Enterprise Manager Self Update and pass it to the installer. If you want to install any of the other optional plug-ins, then enter the names of those plug-ins for this parameter. If you want to install any plug-in that is not available in the software kit, then follow these steps:

If you are upgrading an OMS that already has Oracle BI Publisher installed and configured in a shared location, then set this parameter to However, if you are upgrading an OMS that does not already have Oracle BI Publisher installed, or if you are upgrading an OMS that has Oracle BI Publisher installed but not configured in a shared location, then set this parameter to The shared storage location will act as a common location for storing the report catalog and associated management information for the first OMS you are installing now and also for the additional OMS you plan to install in the future. Identify a shared location that you can use for Oracle BI Publisher. If you do not have an existing shared location, create a new one and ensure that it is visible on the host where you are installing the first OMS and also on other hosts where you plan to install additional OMS instances. At upgrade time, for the installation to be successful, you can reserve approximately 400 MB of hard disk space for the shared directory. However, Oracle recommends that you scale it to at least 10 GB eventually, and ensure that it can be extended further in the future because the space utilization increases over a period of time as you install additional plug-ins and create more reports. |
