Symptoms

A deployment procedure to change database instance and related RAC database monitoring credentials in EM 12c Cloud Control includes the following method:

emcli modify_target
    -name=\"$TESTNAME\"
    -type=\"rac_database\"
    -credentials=\"UserName:sys;password:$SYSPASSWORD;Role:SYSDBA\"
    -on_agent";

This only changes the RAC database credentials, however, not the instance credentials, so the instance target status shows as Down in each case.

Changing the instance credentials with the modify_target verb explicitly does not work when the instance is associated with a RAc database.

While updating the credentials through EM 12c is successful, this method does not lend itself to automation.
