SYSMAN is open. DBSNMP is locked when I get the email saying that is it locked. I have tried unlocking it and it just gets locked again. I am assuming that the dbconsole process is still trying to use the old password. (Yes, I have verified that I can log on manually with the new password.).

Thanks,

Shot in the dark...

Have you checked the account_status in dba_users for dbsnmp and/or sysman? I have had troubles with 11g and the new password policy locking accounts that I wish it hadn't. :)

Command to unlock is: alter user <username> account unlock;

Hth,

Subject: dbconsole - password change

This is Oracle 11.1.0.7.0 on Windows Server 2003 (32 bit).

I changed the password for DBSNMP. Now I am trying to tell the dbconsole agent to use the new password. This is what I did:

1. set oracle_sid= <my sid>
2. emctl status dbconsole says "Enterprise manager is running".
3. emctl stop dbconsole -> "The OracleDBConsole<sid> service is not started".
4. Change the password in <ORACLE_HOME>\...\sysman\emd\targets.xml and change ENCRYPTED="FALSE".
5. emctl start dbconsole -> "... service could not be started".

I should note, that I just installed the grid control agent on this server in case that makes a difference.

It looks like the console is running because it keeps sending me emails saying that the account is locked. Also, the log files are locked so I cannot find out why I can neither start nor stop the process.

What step am I missing here to implement the password change?

Thanks,
Peter Schauss
