Prerequisites for performing Fleet Maintenance on Windows

Fleet Maintenance operations can be performed on Windows based deployments. This section covers specific prerequisites needed only when using Fleet Maintenance on Windows deployments.

  • To perform Fleet Maintenance operations like: deploy, migrate, and/or rollback; you will need to use the same user account and credentials that the source database is using. For more information see: Setting Credentials for the Job System to Work with Oracle Enterprise Manager in Oracle Database Installation Guide 19c for Microsoft Windows.
  • User details are passed to Fleet Maintenance operations via Enterprise Manager Named Credentials. There are two typical user configuration cases:
    • Installations where there is a single installation owner that is also the Oracle Home owner. This single owner's credentials will be passed to the fleet operations at the destination database.
    • Installations where there is an installation owner (local administrator) and there is a second local user with no administrator privileges who owns the Oracle Home. Both user's credentials will be passed to the fleet operations at the destination database.
  • The Operating System users (mentioned above) need to be granted specific Windows OS level privileges on the specific host or hosts for Fleet Maintenance operations to properly function. For more information see: Creating Operating System Groups and Users for Enterprise Manager Cloud Control in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Basic Installation Guide.
  • CYGWIN needs to be installed for Gold Image creation in a Windows deployment. For more information see: Installing Cygwin and Starting the SSH Daemon in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Basic Installation Guide.
