Data … as usual

If like me, you are addicted to command line, this post will help you to realize useful operation in EM Cloud Control 12c using emcli tool rather than GUI.

You can use emcli when you need to implement batch scripts on your Oracle Management Server (OMS).

• Login to EM

$ emcli login -username=sysman
Enter password :
Login successful

OR

$ emcli login -username=sysman -password=XXXXXX
Login successful

• Synchronize emcli with the OMS

$ emcli sync
Synchronized successfully

• Logout EM

$ emcli logout
Logout successful

• List all the targets already promoted

$ emcli get_targets

• Delete a specific target

$ emcli delete_target -name="/wlstest_wlstest/wlstest/myServer_jvm" -type="java_virtual_machine"

• Delete an agent and its targets

$ emcli delete_target -name="xxxlgc-prod2.mydomain.com:3872" -type="oracle_emd" -delete_monitored_targets

• Follow a plugin deployment (on the OMS / on an agent)

-- Oracle Database plugin
$ emcli get_plugin_deployment_status -plugin_id=oracle.sysman.db
-- Oracle Fusion Middleware plugin
$ emcli get_plugin_deployment_status -plugin_id=oracle.sysman.emas
-- My Oracle Support plugin
$ emcli get_plugin_deployment_status -plugin_id=oracle.sysman.mos

• Import an update (for example: a plugin update) into the software library.

$ emcli import_update -file="p14018177_112000_Generic.zip" -omslocal

• Deploy a plugin on the OMS

$ emcli deploy_plugin_on_server -plugin=oracle.sysman.db -sys_password=XXXXX

• Deploy a plugin on EM agent(s)

$ emcli deploy_plugin_on_agent -plugin="oracle.sysman.db"  -agent_names="xxxdb-prod1.mydomain.com:3872;xxxdb-prod2.mydomain.com:3872"

• List available agents in the library

$ emcli get_supported_platforms
Getting list of platforms ...
Check the logs at /home/oracle/agent.log
About to access self-update code path to retrieve the platforms list..
Getting Platforms list ...

• Download an agent from the library (used for agentDeploy.sh script method)

$ emcli get_agentimage -destination=/home/oracle -platform="Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)" -version="12.1.0.1.0"
Platform:Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)
Destination:/home/oracle

• Set monitoring credentials for a specific target (example given for an Oracle database instance)

$ emcli set_credential -target_type=oracle_database -target_name="prod1" -credential_set=DBCredsMonitoring -user=sysman -column="Role:SYSDBA;UserName:sys;password:XXXXX" -monitoring
