Database Software Summary
Custom Reports
•  You define the content
•  You determine the refresh frequency
•  You share reports for answers
“ How many Oracle 10g databases do we have right now ?”
“ What physical host is XYZ database on? ”
“ How can I compare memory settings for XYZA and XYZB ?”
Information Publisher Work-screen
Out-of-the-Box Reports Locked
Titles and Categories
Elements Tab: Add Element
Elements Tab: SQL Table
Refresh Scheduling
Distribution and Retention
Access Tab
Public Reports Page
•  http://yourconsole_url/public/reports
•  Title and Description from Input Screen
•  Notice the Category names
Saving Reports to a File
•  Reports can be sorted by any column
•  Data quickly downloads to a CSV file
Obfuscate Public Report URLs
22 Where do I get my data ?
Distill Oracle's Query
Read from SYSMAN schema
Uploaded to SYSMAN schema
sysman.MGMT$ views
Database Host Report
Tablespace Report
Flexibility
Avoid the Shell Game
SCOOP Schema
•  Procedure
–  Create an OEM Administrator
•  Grant EM_ALL_VIEWER role
–  Build your views as SCOOP
–  Create public synonym and MGMT_VIEW grants
–  Build your Report
NEVER change the SYSMAN schema
•  Information Publisher can't handle schema names
•  Public synonyms are required
•  Avoid any names Oracle may use now or later
•  MGMT_VIEW = The Information Publisher schema
•  Not in OEM console
•  Requires SELECT on your custom views

Deployment Options
•  Add to Monitoring Template
•  Associate with an EM Group
•  Associate with a specific target
WARNING
•  Metric Extensions and Reports can be very expensive
–  Repository
–  Target
•  Temptation = Gather everything
•  Danger: Write it and forget it
•  Examples
–  Hourly log switch collection
–  User password aging
