How to check Intelligent Agent?
Question1:
I am trying to create a job
by using Oracle Enterprise Manager(OEM). I got
error message saying that
the Intelligent Agent is not running. How can I
check this Agent in a IBM
AIX machine? We are using Oracle 8 and Net8.
Ans:
In Oracle7 (and Oracle probably
didn't change it)
in two ways
either
ps -ef | grep dbsnmp
should give 2 processes
alternatively
lsnrctl dbsnmp_status
The dbsnmp_start and dbsnmp_stop
subcommand in lsnrctl start and stop OIA
Normally though it should
autostart together with the listener.

Question2:
When I run lsnrctl dbsnmp_status,
I got result of
The db subagent is not started.
What is the subagent? What
should I do to start this subagent?
Ans:
The db subagent is the Intelligent
Agent. I assume it's called the subagent
because on some platforms
it requires the SNMP Master running (but apparently
not on all platforms).
To start it from the OS prompt, type lsnrctl
dbsnmp_start (if you're on
NT, go into COntrol Panel -> Services instead, and
start the Oracle Intelligent
Agent).
