Good question. I just spent 30 minutes looking for it and I don't even want it! It must be in the OEM area, but I can't find it. Good luck!

I've got the licenses. I just need the software to use with the 10.2 OEM java console.  

Anybody know where it is?

	I just found the following in the 10.2 documentation on
licensing for the Diagnostics Pack
(http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/op tions.htm#CIHHIGBI):          

        Oracle Diagnostic Pack

        The Oracle Diagnostic Pack provides automatic performance diagnostic and advanced system monitoring functionality. The Diagnostic Pack includes the following features:

        <blah, blah, blah>

        In order to use the features listed above, you must purchase licenses for the Diagnostic Pack. The Diagnostics Pack functionality can be accessed by Enterprise Manager links as well as through the database server command-line APIs. The use of either interface requires a Diagnostic Pack license.

        Command-Line APIs

        Diagnostics Pack features can also be accessed by way of database server APIs and command-line interfaces:

        Am I the only one that thinks this is ridiculous? Why does Oracle include all this functionality and then tell you that you can't use it unless you have a separate license? I guess it's just a sleezy sales tactic, just like a car salesman letting you test drive a car that he knows costs more than you said you want to spend, but how can they expect us to know which views, scripts, procedures, etc. are off-limits? It's one thing to be using OEM and know that you can't click on anything in the Diagnostics Pack menu, but knowing all the different objects in the database that you can't use and keeping up with them all from version to version and release to release is impossible. Can I get an amen brothers & sisters?!?

	I understand that the Diagnostic Pack is a separately licensed
product.
	It should be available on OTN.
