Hi,
We have a OMS 11g and several Windows servers with OMS Agent 11g. Since a few days OMS is reporting high tnsping times (up to 6 seconds) and I've been checking the obvious: network issues.
But everything seems okay. While checking one of the Windows db servers I noticed that the virusscanner was scanning files on
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Oracle\oradiag_SYSTEM\diag\clients\user_SYSTEM\host_2392334796_11\alert (and trace)
The virusscanner is allowed to scan C: but not the Oracle disks. On the files found on the alter\trace dir this kind of content can be found:
<msg time='2016-12-24T12:21:31.460+01:00' org_id='oracle' comp_id='clients'
type='UNKNOWN' level='16' host_id='GXXXXXXXX'
host_addr='10.1.36.140'>
<txt>Directory does not exist for read/write [D:\Oracle\agent11g\log] [D:\Oracle\agent11g\log\diag]
</txt>
</msg>
Every minute such an entry is created. I did create d:\oracle\agent11g\log and now it's complaining about d:\oracle\agent11g\diag. Why is the agent writing to C:?
Normally for Oracle rdbms software you can specify in the sqlnet.ora (or adrci) where to write to.
My hypotheses is that the tnsping is high because the virusscanner - there was an upgrade to the scanner and I suspect that is causing the issues- is blocking the files on C: and I want the agent not to use C:. I did browse Metalink but couldn't find anything appropriate.
regards,
Ivan
