Overview

After I had enabled access to the OEM Console through configuring the fire wall rules as described in 08 Configure Firewall Rules, I encountered an issue with console time-outs.

I also patched the agent, and set up privilege delegation.

Procedure

Patched Agent

As recommended by OEM, I applied patch 17513525 (EM-AGENT BUNDLE PATCH 12.1.0.3.5). The procedure was not documented.

Change the OEM Console Timeout

Following the advice given in 10.4 Configuring Timeout Values for Enterprise Manager Components from OMS timeout or Login timeout, I ran the following commands as oracle on CRONULLA, in order to set the time-out to one (1) day (1440 minutes):

cd /opt/app/oracle/em/middleware/oms/bin/ ./emctl set property -name oracle.sysman.eml.maxInactiveTime -value 1440 -module emoms ./emctl stop oms ./emctl start oms

The log of output is:

Reset Limits

When I restarted OMS in the previous section, I noted the following messages:

WARNING: Limit of open file descriptors is found to be 1024. The OMS has been started but it may run out of descriptors under heavy usage. For proper functioning of OMS, please set "ulimit -n" to be at least 4096.

MOS Doc ID 1427402.1 points to 8.3 Prerequisites. Using the procedure for File Descriptor Requirements, I update /etc/security/limits.conf as with the following:

oracle soft nofile 4096 oracle hard nofile 16384

Configuring Privilege Delegation Providers

Following the procedure in 10.7 Configuring Privilege Delegation Providers, I selected the following menu option:

And the next screen appeared:

I clicked the edit icon to get the next screen:

Clicked Update to get the following confirmation panel:

Clicked Yes. Then I expanded the details for CRONULLA to get the following screen:
