    configure database control for a remote database

    I have two 10g database servers at my site, one using Windows Server 2003 and other using Solaris 10.

    I want to configure database controls for both these databases on my machine (which is on Windows XP Professional).

    I tried doing it using:

    emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create -host <host name>

    But in the summary section just before configuring database control, I see it still showing the name of my machine as database host rather than showing the name of remote database host.

    e.g.
    You have specified the following settings

    Database ORACLE_HOME ................ C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1

    Database hostname ................ es-xp1.india.quark.com (this should be the name of remote database host)
    Listener port number ................ 1521
    Database SID ................ orac
    Email address for notifications ...............
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server for notifications ...............


    I have googled how tio configure database control for a remote database host but haven't got anything.
    Has anybody done it before?

    I had the same problem with database host name some time back when creating the DBC for the local database (not for the remote db). Pass DATABASE_HOSTNAME= parameter to emca.

    emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create -host -DATABASE_HOSTNAME=

    -host is the host from where you are configuring DBC.

    vnktummala, watch this:

    I am not able to figure out why this password error comes.
    Which parameter of emca utility would let me specify the service name to reach the remote database host?


    C:\>emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create -host 10.91.32.86 -database_hostname 10.91.20.84

    Akhil -

    I never created the DBC in a remote host. The parameter I have given to you is to pass the oracle host name in case it is different from actual host name (just in case if we are using virtual names).

    However, I am curious to know why are you creating the DBC in a remote host? If both the servers are in the same LAN, you can access DBC from any server easily ...

    Thanks,
    Vijay Tummala

    Well is it possible for a database to be at one machine and its DBC at other host?
    I am doing it just for fun as of now. But once it is done, it wil be of help to me. I can do it through grid control but just want to know if it is possible to have a DBC on a machine different from database host.

    Hi Akhil,

    I don't think so it is possible with DBC.
