RE: OEM 12c Software Library

Nope, include it. It's free, and saves any concerns about not having it later. At worst, it means you've created a directory that isn't used. J

Subject: OEM 12c Software Library  

We're trying to move from OEM 11g to 12cR5. I don't recall being prompted about the Software Library during the 11g install, but if I de-select it during the 12c install, I get a warning pop-up that it's required for "performing key operations within Enterprise Manager". However, it seems tied to Patching/Provisioning and we don't have that management pack. I can't find anything specific in any documentation on the Software Library being tied to the Patching/Provisioning management pack, but am a little leery about installing it in case it is. So I'm wondering if it's something that should be installed even without the Patching/Provisioning management pack in order for OEM to function, or should it be de-selected during the install unless you have a license for that pack?
