My reply to this got tagged for over quoting. Don't know if it will ever surface, so i'll correct my error and send this. Sorry if it duplicates:

Like I said, I'm a beginner with OEM. I'm an overworked, but capable dba/sysadmin. I've just been using dbconsole for the operators since it was not a struggle to manage. 1484775.1 seems to change that game. Another platform I manage, postgresql, is really well documented and very friendly. They tell you what you need to know to manage the product once you own it:

I see nothing like this overview of required management tasks with OEM. Most software products are just ticking time bombs if you don't care and feed them. There needs to be an entry point and overview of the product management tasks that lead to the details in the larger documentation like the postgresql people have provided, imho. Sounds like there is a class being developed to cover this idea. For now, I'll just wander through the docs and try to piece it together:
