The Database Home
page is the main database management page in Oracle Enterprise Manager Database
Control (Database Control).
To access the
Database Home page:
1.) Ensure that the
dbconsole process is running on the database host computer.
2.) In your Web
browser, enter the following URL:
https://hostname:portnumber/em
For example, if
you installed the database on a host computer named comp42.mycompany.com, and
the installer indicated that your Enterprise Manager Console HTTP port number
is 1158, enter the following URL:
https://comp42.mycompany.com:1158/em
You can determine
the port number for Database Control on Linux and UNIX systems by viewing the
Oracle_home/install/portlist.ini file. On Microsoft Windows systems, you can
determine the URL for Database Control by viewing the Database Control
Properties window. To view this window, use the Start menu, navigate to the
Database Control entry in the Oracle home folder, then right-click this entry
and select Properties.
When you access
Database Control, if the database is running, it displays the Login page. If
the database is down and needs to be restarted, Database Control displays the
Startup/Shutdown and Perform Recovery page.
You must do the
following to start the database:
A.) Click
Startup/Shutdown, enter the host login user name and password, and then enter
the database login user name and password.
For the database
user name and password, use SYS and the password that you specified during installation.
B.) Click OK to start
the database, and then in the Confirmation page, click Yes to start the
database in open mode.
3.) Log in to the
database with a user account that is authorized to access Database Control.
This initially could be SYS or SYSTEM, with the password that you specified
during database installation.
For typical
day-to-day administrative tasks, it is recommended that you log in with the
SYSTEM account. If you want to back up, recover, or upgrade the database, you
must log in with the SYS account.
Database Control
displays the Database Home page.
