Creating the Always-On Monitoring Repository User

The Always-On Monitoring user should be created by a database administrator with SYSDBA privileges. If you are running emsca as a user with SYSDBA privileges, you can skip this section as the emsca configuration assistant will automatically create the user for you.

Note:

The Always-On Monitoring Repository should not be housed within the Enterprise Manager Repository database. Housing the Always-On Monitoring Repository in a separate database allows Always-On Monitoring to function even if the Enterprise Manager Repository goes down.

Connect to the database to be used as the Always-On Monitoring Repository, create the Always-On Monitoring user and then grant it the required privileges.

Note:

The Always-On Monitoring user should be created by a database administrator with SYSDBA privileges. Alternatively, you can supply SYSDBA credentials when running the emsca configuration utility. emsca will then create the Always-On Monitoring repository user automatically.

If you have SYSDBA access, you can skip this step since it will be done automatically by the emsca configuration assistant. See Using the Always-On Monitoring Configuration Assistant (EMSCA) for more information.
