Transparent Data Encryption Page Unavailable After Upgrade From Previous Versions of Enterprise Manager

After performing an upgrade from either Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Release 3 (12.1.0.3) or Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Release 4 (12.1.0.4) to Enterprise Manager Release 13c, you may not be able to view or access the Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) functionality under the Security menu in the context of a target database (specifically version 11.1.0.7).

Perform the following steps to reach the Transparent Data Encryption home page:

  1. From the Oracle Database page, navigate to the Security home page by choosing Security from the Oracle Database home page.

  2. From the Security menu, choose Home.

  3. On the Security home page, scroll down to the Encryption, Redaction and Masking section.

    In this section you will find high level information related to Transparent Data Encryption (if the keystore was previously configured).

  4. If the keystore is not configured, click on the home icon in the Oracle Advanced Security section to navigate to the TDE home page.

    TDE home page is displayed.

This issue occurs primarily with target Database version 11.1.0.7.

Silent Upgrade To Enterprise Manager 13.5 Using EMPREREQKIT_PROPERTY_FILE Generates an Execution Error

While attempting to perform a silent upgrade to Enterprise Manager 13.5 using the EMPREREQ_KIT=true parameter and passing the response file with: EMPREREQKIT_PROPERTY_FILE=<response_file_path> the following error is encountered: ERROR: Installer execution failed (1). The error is generated because in Enterprise Manager 13.5 the EMPREREQKIT_PROPERTY_FILE option is deprecated. Instead use only the responseFile option. For more information see: Running the EM Prerequisite Kit in Silent Mode (Command Prompt) in Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Basic Installation Guide.

(Bug: 31890734)

EMPREREQ_KIT=TRUE does not display existing OMS home in UI for upgrade

Running the EM Prerequisite Kit using the graphical interface during an upgrade (using EMPREREQ_KIT=TRUE) is not supported. There are two available alternatives:
  • Perform a standalone EMPREREQ_KIT upgrade in silent mode. For more information see: Running the EM Prerequisite Kit in Silent Mode (Command Prompt) in Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Basic Installation Guide.

While attempting to perform an upgrade to Enterprise Manager 13.5 using the INSTALL_SWONLY_WITH_PLUGINS=true parameter the following error is encountered: Invalid variable(s): INSTALL_SWONLY_WITH_PLUGINS ERROR: Installer execution failed (1). The error is generated because in Enterprise Manager 13.5 the INSTALL_SWONLY_WITH_PLUGINS parameter is no longer required to be passed in the command line. This internal parameter is set by default to TRUE.. For more information see: Installing an Enterprise Manager System Using Software Only Install Along With Plugins and Configuring Later in Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Advanced Installation and Configuration Guide.

SYSMAN schema should exclusively be used by Enterprise Manager

The SYSMAN schema should exclusively be used by Enterprise Manager. Ensure that none of the following objects were manually created under the SYSMAN schema:
  • Views manually created in SYSMAN over DB Link
  • User created tables with name combinations: <Table Name>_E, <Table Name>

    Example: EXYZ_KTABLE and EXYZ_KTABLE_E

If any such objects were created, drop them before an upgrade.

MDS schema creation fails during the first OMS upgrade when the second OMS (add OMS) is stopped using the emctl stop oms command with error: (java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-01940: cannot drop a user that is currently connected).
