Preparing for Oracle Database Enterprise Manager – manual configuration
Posted by: Andrei in Database, ProgrammingAs a common practice all the servers have fixed IP address. Because not all Oracle Databases are installed directly on servers, but on laptops or different machines, it’s very probable that you have DHCP-provided IP address.
If you have DHCP IP address, your full computer name may vary, because different domain is added to computer name. Once the name can be mylaptop.oracle.com, the next day the name can be mylaptop.myhomenetwork.ro and so on.
The problem is when you want to install Oracle Database Enterprise Manager (web-based administration tool), because the installer is creating a folder on the disk have the name based on fully computer name. If you change the network the Enterprise Manager will not work, because it will not find a folder based on the actual computer name.
