Installation Prerequisites

The sections that follow list the prerequisites that need to be fulfilled to enable installation of Ops Connector for OEM.

Application Software

Before you install Ops Connector for OEM, the following software applications must be installed and configured.

Application Required Version
Operations Manager i

10.01 or higher

Operations Connector

10.01 or higher

Note: Operations Connector must be configured as a connected server in Operations Manager i and properly integrated into OMi. It is recommended that Oracle Enterprise Manager and Operations Connector are installed on different host systems.

If you are using an Operations Connector version earlier than 10.01, upgrade it first. For instructions, see the Operations Connector Installation and Upgrade section.

For more information about installation and configuration, see the corresponding documentation.

During the installation and configuration process for Ops Connector for OEM, you must download the ojdbc6.jar file from the Oracle web site. Copy the JAR file to the <ovdatadir>\conf\HPBsmIntOEM\classpath> folder of the Operations Connector host.

Note: This application is available at no cost on the Oracle web site. You must have a free Oracle Account to download it.

TCP/IP Ports

The following table lists the ports that Ops Connector for OEM uses by default. In your Operations Connector environment, these ports may not be used by other software applications.

Port Number Port Description
1521

Default Oracle database listener port.

Used for acquiring topology data and metrics from the Oracle Enterprise Manager database.

30005

Default port of Operations Connector policies of the REST Web Service Listener type.

Used for dispatching OEM events to the respective Operations Connector policies.

30100

Default SOAP Web Service listener port in Ops Connector for OEM.

Used for receiving events from Event Connector on the Oracle Enterprise Manager host by the SOAP Web Service endpoint in Ops Connector for OEM on the Operations Connector host.

If Oracle Enterprise Manager and Operations Connector communicate through a firewall, make sure the firewall rules allow connections through the listed ports.

If you cannot make sure the default ports are available, you can still change the port numbers while configuring Ops Connector for OEM. Remember that changing the port numbers includes mandatory actions also in the third-party system management application or Operations Connector.

Other Prerequisites and Requirements

The following is a list of additional prerequisites and the requirements you must consider before installing the product:

  • Ops Connector for OEM 3.11 supports both install and upgrade scenarios. You can directly install 3.11 version on the target host. If Ops Connector for OEM 3.10 is already installed on the host, then you can upgrade to version 3.11. For more information, see Upgrading to Ops Connector for OEM 3.11 topic.

  • For integration of topology or metrics, access from remote systems to the Oracle database in Oracle Enterprise Manager must be enabled.

    • For integration of topology or metrics, a user account with proper access to the OEM database must be configured in Oracle Enterprise Manager. Depending on the data that is collected from OEM and on your OEM version, this account should be granted read access to the following database tables. For more information about providing access to the list of tables, see the relevant parts in Accessing the Database Tables topic.

      • For collecting topology data from 12c and 13c:
        mgmt_assoc_instances
        mgmt_target_properties
        mgmt_targets

      • For collecting topology data from 11g:
        mgmt_target_properties
        mgmt_targets
        mgmt_target_assocs
        mgmt_target_assoc_defs

      • For collecting metrics from Cloud Control 12c:
        em_metric_columns
        em_metric_groups
        em_metric_items
        em_metric_keys
        em_metric_values
        mgmt_targets

      • For collecting metrics from Grid Control 11g:
        mgmt$metric_details
        mgmt_targets

        Note: You can check the listed table names by inspecting the oemMetricsQuery.sql and oemMetricsQuery_11g.sql files available in <OvDataDir>/installation/HPBsmIntOEM/policy directory.

  • To configure and administer OpsCx for OEM, familiarize yourself with Operations Connector and its web interface. For example, you can learn how to import, activate, and reconfigure policies. For more information about Operations Connector, see the Operations Connector User section.
