Re: Oracle 8.1.7 missing DBA Management pack and Instance Manager

Ok, here's the story with my 8.1.7EE install (though it was done on W2K professional)

I have a start-programs menu item called "Oracle - OraHome81". Within that I have all the following options: Application Development, Database Administration, Enterprise Manager, Extended Administration, Migration Utilties, Network Administration, Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle Internet Directory, Quick Tours, Release Notes.

Within Enterprise Manager (because I think that's what you're really interested in), I have options for Configuration Assistant, Console and Migration Assistant only.

So I think we can conclude that you are not missing the Instance Manager etc. because of anything you did wrong, or because of any prior installations. You're missing all of that because (I suspect) you've only installed the Enterprise Edition itself, not OEM. OEM is a separate product, and needs to be installed separately. There's a version 2.2 for Windows, which I've just now installed...

There are three packs available: OEM with Change Management, Diagnostics and Tuning Packs, a Management Pack for Oracle Applications, and one for SAP. Obviously you want the first one (I'm referring specifically to the download section on Technet:
http://technet.oracle.com/software/products/oem/software_index.htm)

Unfortunately, that first one is a 370Mb download... hope you've got a T1 connection!

Anyway: when that is installed, you get the old familiar Instance Manager, Security Manager and so on.

HTH
