Re: OEM Agent Upgrade Question

Well, it doesnt appear to be a shared agent, there is no separate agent_inst directory, there are about 50 subdirectories under /u01/oracle/OEM/13cAgent, each named for a different server, and each about 1.5G in size, and each containing an agent_inst directory.

And I do see an agent_migrate.pl file under the 13.x agent directories. So, moving the home may well be possible.

And I did open an SR, but since I couldnt see any way to justify a sev 2, who knows when they will get back to me.
