Re: Problem with Oracle Intelligent Agent (Win NT)

The Intelligent Agent presents a minefield of problems on all platforms, I have seen it Kill 4 CPU systems with easy. I have a number of customers who use the 8.0.4.1.1 IA and it seems a lot more reliable. I would recommend 8.0.4.1.1 even if you are running Oracle7.

Suggested Steps

• Deinstall Current Agent
• Delete all files in the oracle home/network/agent directory
• Delete all snmp* files from the oracle home/network/admin directory
• install the 8.0.4.1.1 agent
• ensure each instance is referenced in the listener.ora
• start the new agent
