Steps to configure Oracle 11g OEM DBConsole manually for database

In case your database is cloned from other database where you have grid already installed and configured. After the cloning, in the target database the same set of configuration will not work. You have to reconfigure the same. For that we have to drop the existing configuration first. If it is a new database you can directly configure using emca.


Step 1. Drop the existing configuration if it is having sysman user already present.

SQL> Select username from dba_users where username='SYSMAN';

USERNAME
------------------------------
SYSMAN

The below command to drop the existing configuration

[oracle@rac2 ~]$ emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop
