I'm not getting any of it! I'm referring to the Client OEM, not Grid Control.

My point is that from a day to day admin point of view I need to view all my databases (both 9i & 10g), and in particular, because of a 'feature' of our 3rd party software, I need to manage locks. I can do this using the 9i client version of OEM, but not the 10g version. Yes, I do use DBConsole for the 10g databases, however it would be much easier using Client OEM, which is the point that I (and jennifer2007) am trying to make.
