I have checked out OEM from all available versions and I ran into the same issues that Joel mentioned above, so I thought that I'm not alone. When 11.2 comes out I'll install that and check it out as well.
Eventually I'll move into the full GUI of OEM and also double check things as well with independent scripts, but that probably won't be for a while considering the amount of effort required to set up some basic monitoring.
Once again thanks for your time. Received on Tue Jun 30 2009 - 21:02:30 CDT
