What are your operating systems? I have done some of this for Unix servers
with OEM on win95. Your 'environment variables' sound like something that
might be required by NT, which I've never fooled with.
On Unix, all you need to do is create the password file with the name orapw'your-sid-name' in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs diredctory and add: remote_os_authent=true (potential security problems with this have been
mentioned in threads in this group - careful!)
remote_password_file=exclusive ( better check doumentation for spelling! )
to your init.ora file. Then, you need to copy your init.ora and any ifiles
to a directory on the PC(if you installed the on-line documentation, this is
described there).
Of course, if you are going to shut down the database that the repository resides in, don't go in through the OEM console, but run Instance Manager directly against the instance - otherwise you will have to abort your own repository connection by doing a shutdown abort or immediate! Hope this helps.
