OpenVMS: Target Discovery with the 10.2.0.2 Grid Agent on OpenVMS (Doc ID 1264262.1)

Last updated on APRIL 14, 2022

Applies to:

Enterprise Manager Base Platform - Version 10.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.2 [Release 10.2 to 11.2]
HP OpenVMS Itanium
HP OpenVMS Alpha

Goal

 

The Grid Agent 10.2.0.2 on OpenVMS in general discovers targets by reading the "oratab." and suggesting databases (and their listeners) when adding database targets.
Use "Targets - Databases - Add" to get to "Add Database Instance Target".

On rare occasions, this process does either not list any databases on the console, or does not produce any target entries in the  ORA_EMSTATE_EMD:targets.xml file.

This procedure however is impractical and tedious in environments where a node is host to dozens of databases and/or other targets.

This article offers a simple way to populate the targets.xml on OpenVMS.
