OEM and Intelligent Agent Compatibility Error

From: <Cherie_Machler_at_gelco.com>
Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2001 11:57:44 -0800
Message-ID: <F001.003C2B7A.20011112114019@fatcity.com>

I am trying to autodiscover a server in the OEM console in an 8.1.7.2 database on Sun Solaris 2.6.
The databases on the other host are 8.0.4, 8.1.5, 8.1.7.2, and 9.0.1. I am using an 9.0.1 Intelligent Agent
on the remote host where I want to monitor. When I try to autodiscover, I get the following error:
Discovery Failed: VNI-4050: Agent is running, but version is not compatible.

I looked this error up on Metalink and found the following compatibility matrix. It would appear that the
8.1.7 Intelligent Agent is not compatible with 8.0.4 RDBMS. However, I am using a 9.0.1 Intelligent Agent.
I couldn't find a similar compatibility matrix for 9i. Does anyone else know where I can find it.

Also, is anyone successfully using a 9.0.1 Intelligent Agent against an 8.0.4 database? If you are, what
version of other components are you using? What version of RDMBS's are you successfully monitoring?

|Overview |
|======== |
| |
|The following article describes the compatibility of each tier (Console, |
|OMS, Agent and Database) of the Enterprise Manager 2.x architecture with |
|each other. Support / Desupport of a release of Enterprise Manager is |
|dependant upon the database release with which it was originally released :|
| |
| OEM Console Released Error Correction Desupport |
| OMS and Packs with RDBMS Support Ends Notice |
| ------------- ---------- ---------------- --------------- |
| 2.0.4 8.1.5 01-January-2001 [NOTE:104456.1] |
| 2.1.0 8.1.6 31-October-2001 [NOTE:123178.1] |
| 2.2.0 8.1.7 Not Yet Determined |
| |
| |
|Console / Management Applications to Management Server (OMS) Certification |
|========================================================================== |
| |
|The following matrix lists the releases of Oracle Enterprise Manager and |
|its management applications that have been certified to work with |
|particular versions of the Oracle Management Server (OMS). If a release is |
|certified with a particular OMS, then a "yes" is placed for that entry. If |
|an OMS is not certified for a specific release, then the entry is a "no". |
| |
| Console/Apps OMS 2.0.4 OMS 2.1.0 OMS 2.2.0 |
| ------------ ------------- ------------- ------------- |
| OEM v2.0.4 Yes No No |
| OEM v2.1.0 No Yes No |
| OEM v2.2.0 No No Yes |
| |
|Before upgrading to a later release of the OMS be sure that all Enterprise |
|Manager products you intend to use with the OMS are of the later release. |
| |
| |
|OMS to Intelligent Agent Certification |
|====================================== |
| |
|The following matrix lists the releases of the Oracle Management Server and|
|the releases of Intelligent Agents with which they are certified. |
| |
| OMS UNIX AGENT NT AGENT |
| -------- ------------------------- ------------------------------ |
| v2.0.4 7.3.4 8.0.x 8.1.5 7.3.4.1 8.0.5.1+ 8.1.5 |
| v2.1.0 7.3.4 8.0.x 8.1.5/8.1.6 7.3.4.1 8.0.5.1+ 8.1.5/8.1.6 |
| v2.2.0 7.3.4 8.0.6 8.1.x 7.3.4.1 8.0.6 8.1.x |
| |
|For non UNIX / NT agents such as VMS and MVS support applies to the same |
|versions as the UNIX agents, but also includes support for the 7.3.3 agent |
|when it is the terminal 7.3.x release. |
| |
| |
|Intelligent Agent to Database Certification |
|=========================================== |
| |
|The Intelligent Agent is compatible with the database with which it is |
|released and prior database releases. For circumstances where a newer |
|release of the Intelligent Agent is used to manage an older release of the |
|database, the Agent must be installed in its own ORACLE_HOME, or one whose |
|version is consistent with the Intelligent Agent's version. Older releases |
|of the Intelligent Agent are not compatible with newer releases of the |
|Oracle database. |
| |
| RDBMS |
| --------- |
| Agent 7.3.4 8.0.4 8.0.5 8.0.6 8.1.5 8.1.6 8.1.7 |
| ----- ---------------------------------------------------- |
| IA v7.3.4.x Yes No No No No No No |
| IA v8.0.4.x Yes Yes No No No No No |
| IA v8.0.5.x Yes Yes Yes No No No No |
| IA v8.0.6.x Yes Yes Yes Yes No No No |
| IA v8.1.5.x Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No No |
| IA v8.1.6.x Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No |
| IA v8.1.7.x Yes No No Yes Yes Yes Yes |
| |
| |
|Note 1 : Certification of release 8.0.3 was not carried out by development,|
| Oracle Support Services thus recommends customers upgrade to a |
| later release. |
| |
|Note 2 : Certification of 8.0.4 and 8.0.5 was not carried out for 8.1.7 |
| Intelligent Agents, because these releases had already entered |
| extended care support by the time 8.1.7 was released. |
| |
|Note 3 : On Windows NT 7.3.4 Intelligent Agents can only be installed in |
| the DEFAULT 7.3.4 Oracle home |
| |
|Note 4 : Oracle 8.0.4, 8.0.5 and 8.0.6 Intelligent Agents on Windows NT can|
| be installed in a 7.3.4 home or in their own home. This feature |
| does not apply to 8.1.x Agents. |
| |
| |
|Additional Compatibility Matrices |

|[NOTE:69062.1] Enterprise Manager 2.x OS and Web Compatibility Matrix |
|[NOTE:62216.1] OEM 2.x: Data Gatherer-Applications Compatibility Matrices |
