What is difference between Enterprise Mgr & DB Express?

2734369Sep 16 2014 — edited Sep 17 2014

Hi,

I am going through John Watson's exam guide for the 1z0-062 exam.  I have a question on Chapter 19.

The book says "Enterprise Manager offers a one-click implementation of the “Oracle Suggested Backup.”

Problem is, I can't find Oracle Suggested Backups in my 12c Personal Edition Enterprise Manager Database Express.

I am confused on this EM feature.

I went to the 12c Concepts guide and it has the following:

Tools for Database Administrators

Oracle provides several tools for use in administering a database. This section describes some commonly used tools:

Under Enterprise Manager:

Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control

Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (Cloud Control) is a web-based interface that provides the administrator with complete monitoring across the Oracle technology stack and non-Oracle components. If a component of fast application notification (FAN) becomes unavailable or experiences performance problems, then Cloud Control displays the automatically generated alert so that the administrator can take the appropriate recovery action.

The components of Cloud Control include:

  • Oracle Management Service (OMS)The OMS feature is a set of J2EE applications that renders the interface for Cloud Control, works with all Oracle management agents to process monitoring information, and uses the Enterprise Manager repository as its persistent data store.
  • Oracle Management AgentsThese agents are processes deployed on each monitored host to monitor all targets on the host, communicate this information to the OMS, and maintain the host and its targets.
  • Oracle Management RepositoryThe repository is a schema in an Oracle database that contains all available information about administrators, targets, and applications managed by Cloud Control.

Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Express 12c

Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Express (EM Express) is a web management product built into the Oracle database. It requires no special installation or management.

EM Express contains the key performance management and basic administration.

So, does that mean that that there are 2 "enterprise managers"??? (1.) EM Cloud Control (2.) EM DB Express?

I am assuming the "Oracle Suggested Backup" feature is in the EM Cloud Control?

So, I do this: I go to the DBCA and try to create a new DB. And yes there is an Option to "register" with the EM Cloud Control in the "Management Options" tab.

So, for this OMS Host I give my full machine name like ABC.DEF.com and for the OMS port I give 4888 (found from the web).

But when I press next I get this error: "oracle management service is not up on the given host and port"

And also the Mgt option is to "Register with EM Cloud Control" and not "install EM Cloud Control".

So, it's assuming that the EM Cloud Control is already installed. But how???

Nothing in the DB Installion has an option to install EM Cloud Control.

So, how can I install the Cloud control??? Any advice would be really appreciated.
