1 Overview of Bundle Patch 1

This chapter provides an introduction to Bundle Patch 1 (BP1) and the prerequisites for installation. It contains the following sections:

Overview

Use Cases and Recommendations

Bundle Patch 1 Compatibility Matrix

1.1 Overview

This document provides step by step instructions for applying Bundle Patch 1 (BP1) in to your existing Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12.1.0.1 installation. Note BP1 is not an Enterprise Manager patch set release, and therefore does not change the Enterprise Manager version to 12.1.0.2.

1.2 Use Cases and Recommendations

The following sections provide recommendations on how to use BP1 under different use case scenarios. The scenarios are detailed under the following headings:

General Use Case Recommendations

Upgrading to the Current Release

Performing an Additional OMS Installation

1.2.1 General Use Case Recommendations

General use cases and recommendations on the installation of BP1 are outlined in Table 1-1.

Table 1-1 General Use Case Recommendations

Use Case
Recommendation

If you are new to Enterprise Manager

You will need to retrieve the new Enterprise Manager 12c binaries from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) and carry out a fresh install. The installation should include BP1 and the latest plug-in releases.

Using Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12.1.0.1 release in a non-production test or sandbox environment

You should analyze how much configuration setup you have done in Enterprise Manager and the number of Management Agents you have deployed. Based on this analysis, you should uninstall the existing Cloud Control and do a fresh installation if this is feasible

This also means that you have to reinstall all your existing Management Agents. This is the simplest way to get to the benefits and features of the latest patched Cloud Control release, which includes BP1 and the latest plug-in releases.

The Enterprise Manager uninstall instructions are available at the following location:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/install.121/e24089/part_deinstall_em.htm#sthref642

You can get the updated Enterprise Manager binaries with BP1 from the following location:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/enterprise-manager/downloads/index.html?origref=http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/index.html

If you have already downloaded and installed 12.1.0.1 release in a Production environment

If you have already downloaded and installed Enterprise Manager 12c Release 12.1.0.1 in a production environment, complete the following steps

Skipping steps could result in potential issues. Oracle recommends that you open a proactive service request.

Back up your Oracle Inventory, Repository Database, Middleware Home, Instance Home, Software Library, and Management Agent. For more information on back up, refer to the backup instructions in the Oracle® Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1):

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e24473/toc.htm

Apply BP1 on your Oracle Management Service (OMS) host.

Upgrade your plug-ins on OMS to the latest releases.

Apply BP1 on your Management Agents.

Upgrade your plug-ins on Management Agents to the latest releases.

If you have additional OMS instances or a disaster recovery configuration, then follow the BP1 application instructions detailed in Section 2.1, "Applying Bundle Patch 1 on Oracle Management Service".

1.2.2 Upgrading to the Current Release

Apply BP1 on your Management Agents.

Upgrade your plug-ins on Management Agents to the Enterprise Manager 12.1.0.2 releases.ok

Oracle recommends that you open a proactive Service Request (SR) with Oracle Support.

1.2.3 Performing an Additional OMS Installation

Use cases and recommendations related to performing an additional OMS installation are discussed in Table 1-3.

Table 1-3 Performing an Additional OMS Installation

Use Case
Recommendation

If your first OMS is deployed with new Enterprise Manager binaries with BP1 included or if you have applied the BP1 manually

You can proceed with the additional OMS installations. The deployment procedure will clone the first OMS, so there will be no need to apply BP1 on the second OMS once the install is done.

As a part of the additional OMS installation, you will be required to deploy the Management Agent on the host where you plan to have the additional OMS. Get the latest Management Agent binaries from the Self Update feature, which have BP1 included for Management Agent deployment.

If your first OMS has not been updated with the new Enterprise Manager binaries, or if you have not applied the BP1 manually to the OMS

Select one of the following two options:

Option 1:

Follow the BP1 application process on the first OMS and Management Agents.

Complete the additional OMS install.

Option 2:

Complete the additional OMS install.

Follow the BP1 application process on the first OMS and additional OMS together.

1.3 Bundle Patch 1 Compatibility Matrix

Refer to Table 1-4, "Bundle Patch 1 Compatibility Matrix" to understand the valid patches and version combinations of OMS, plug-ins, and Management Agents.

Footnote 2 This is a fresh install of Enterprise Manager 12c binaries with BP1 included.

1.4 Mandatory Pre-Requisites for installing Bundle Patch 1

The following are the mandatory prerequisites for installing BP1:

Software Library Configured.

All Enterprise Manager components backed up.

The Agent Patching Infrastructure set up correctly (differs for offline versus online modes).

The My Oracle Support (MOS) connection configured for Management Agent patching or the download of patches from MOS and upload to Enterprise Manager.

Make sure that you go through all of the prerequisites described in the following sections before applying Bundle Patch 1.

1.4.1 Oracle Software Library Configured

You need to verify whether you already have the Software Library configured. If not, complete the following:

From the Enterprise menu, select Provisioning and Patching, then click Software Library.

From the Actions list, select Administration, then select Add if nothing has yet been configured.

Select the OMS Shared Filesystem location.

Figure 1-1 Add OMS Shared Filesystem Location

Note:

This is a location on a shared filesystem that is visible to all OMS instances. For example, this could be an NFS mounted location and should have read/write access from all of the OMS instances.

Upon addition of the location, a job executes to configure the Software Library. Under this location, all required entities for Enterprise Manager, such as Provisioning, Patching, and Cloud Management, are populated.

Once the job is successful, you will see the components configured in the Software Library.

From the Enterprise Manager menu, select Patching and Provisioning, then click Software Library to view the Software Library.

Figure 1-2 Software Library

1.4.2 Backing Up Enterprise Manager Components

Before you apply BP1, be sure that you back up the following components:

Oracle Inventory

Management Repository Database

Middleware Home and Enterprise Manager domains

Instance Home where OMS is installed

Default Management Agent with OMS

Software Library

You must back up all components listed above. A failure during any stage of the BP1 process may make it necessary to restore one or more of these components.

For more information, see the Backing Up Enterprise Manager chapter in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide. This can be found at the following location:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e24473/ha_backup_recover.htm#BGBCCIJC

1.4.3 Using the Correct OPatch Version

Verify you have the right OPatch version under the OMS Oracle Home. The OPatch version required to install BP1 is 11.1.0.9.4 or higher.

Set ORACLE_HOME to OMS HOME and run the following command to verify the OPatch version:

$ opatch version

Figure 1-3 Verifying OPatch Version

If the OPatch version is less than 11.1.0.9.4, complete the following:

Download the latest OPatch patch (6880880) under release 11.1.0.x series from My Oracle Support (https://support.oracle.com).

The Patch Number is 6880880. Select the platform that corresponds to your OMS platform.

Figure 1-4 Correct OPatch Version

Click Search.

Select the Opatch 11.1.0.0.0 version and click Download.

Figure 1-5 Click Download

Note:

Do not select OPatch 11.2.0.x as this will result in failures during patch application.

Transfer the zip to the OMS Server.

Rename the existing OPatch folder under the OMS ORACLE HOME to OPatch_old_MMYY

Unzip the new Opatch patch zip under the OMS ORACLE HOME.

This creates an Opatch directory with the latest Opatch.

1.5 Troubleshooting

To learn more about troubleshooting tips and a list of known issues while applying Bundle Patch 1, refer to My Oracle Support note 1395640.1 at the following location:

https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&doctype=REFERENCE&id=1395640.1

2 Bundle Patch 1 for Linux x86 and Linux x86-64

The following sequence must be followed when applying BP1:

Apply Bundle Patch 1 on Oracle Management Service

Upgrade all deployed Plug-ins to the 12.1.0.2 releases on the OMS

Apply Bundle Patch 1 on all Management Agents

Upgrade all deployed Plug-ins to the 12.1.0.2 releases on the Agents

Important Notes

Read the following important notes before proceeding with the installation process:

Verify that you have first applied the OMS Patch 13242773 on all OMS instances before applying this Bundle Patch on Management Agents. If the OMS patch is not applied before applying the Bundle Patch, then the metadata version will not be registered with the OMS and the OMS will block the patched Management Agents from uploading data.

If you have configured Enterprise Manager for high availability by deploying one or more additional OMS and using a local Real Application Cluster or Data Guard database for the repository database, use the following patching sequence:

Stop each OMS.

Apply the patch to each OMS Oracle Home.

Run the post deploy steps.

There is no special consideration when using Data Guard because any changes to the repository that occur as part of the patching exercise are forwarded to the standby database repository as part of normal Data Guard operations.

If you have configured Enterprise Manager for Disaster Recovery by deploying one or more standby OMS and a standby database (Oracle RAC or single instance) at another site, patching of the standby site should be performed after all patches and plug-in updates have been deployed on the primary site.

Once the primary site patches and updated plug-ins have been deployed, any changes to the repository made due to these updates will be forwarded to the standby database repository as part of normal Data Guard operations. Therefore, to patch the standby site use the following patching sequence:

Apply the patches to the standby OMS Homes without performing the post deploy operations that update the repository.

Deploying the updated plug-ins without updating the repository.

2.1 Applying Bundle Patch 1 on Oracle Management Service

In a multi-OMS environment, ensure that the following prerequisites are met on each OMS host:

Verify that you have the latest version of OPatch 11.1.

The minimum OPatch version required to install BP1 is 11.1.0.9.4. You must also check that the OPatch version is 11.1.0.9.4 or higher. Do not use OPatch 11.2.x.

You can determine the current version of OPatch by running the command opatch version from the OMS Home/OPatch. For more information. see Section 1.4.3, "Using the Correct OPatch Version".

To determine the latest version of OPatch, complete the following:

Log in to My Oracle Support (https://support.oracle.com).

Select Patches & Updates.

Enter 6880880 in the search field and click Search.

Select the latest OPatch version (11.1.0.9.4 or higher)

The selected OPatch has a README with instructions to upgrade the OPATCH and also a download button to download the zip.

Set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to the OMS Home, which is MIDDLEWARE_HOME/oms.

Verify that ORACLE_HOME/bin and ORACLE_HOME/OPatch are included in the path.

Set the environment variable using the following command:

setenv PATH $ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$PATH

Check if the PATH variable is set by running the following command:

echo $PATH

Verify the state of Oracle Inventory used by OPatch to install the patches by running the following command:

<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oms/opatch lsinventory

Figure 2-1 OPatch Inventory

Check that the Oracle Database, which contains the Management Repository, and its listener are up and running.

Download OMS BP1 13242773 from My Oracle Support, as described earlier in step 1.

The zip files are stored under a location that will be referred to as PATCH_TOP_DIR in this document.

Download the JDeveloper (13470978) and Web Services Manager (12321965) patches from My Oracle Support.

You will be required to apply these patches after applying the 13242773 BP1 on the OMS.

Download the patch 12321965 for Release 11.1.1.5.0 version.

Figure 2-2 Patch 12321965

Select a location for storing the contents of the BP1 ZIP file.

Extract the contents of the BP1 ZIP file to the location you created in steps 6 and 7 by running the following command:

$ unzip -d PATCH_TOP_DIR p13242773_121010_<platform>.zip

Navigate to the PATCH_TOP_DIR/13242773 directory by running the command:

$ cd PATCH_TOP_DIR/13242773

Shut down the OMS by running the following command:

ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl stop oms -all

To verify that the OMS has completely stopped, run the following command:

emctl status oms

Note:

In a multi-OMS environment, shut down all OMS instances.

Stop the following components if running within your Cloud Control domain before applying BP1 or updating any plug-in to the latest release:

Application Dependency and Performance (ADP) Manager.

JVM Diagnostics (JVMD) Manager.

BI Publisher Managed Server named "BIP".

Install BP1 by running the following command:

<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oms/opatch apply

Make sure to run this command on all OMS instances in a multi-OMS environment. Run opatch apply in parallel for all OMS instances in this step OR complete the BP1 application process on the first OMS, then do the same for the other OMS instances.

Figure 2-3 Sample Output

Select the appropriate script to automate the BP1 post installation process, depending on whether you have a Single OMS Environment or a Multi-OMS Environment.

Note:

Ensure that you are in the BP1 location PATCH_TOP_DIR. Also, keep the Repository host name, SID, Listener port, and SYSMAN password ready before running the post_deploy.sh script.

Single OMS Environment

In a single OMS environment, run the following command from the BP1 directory:

$ PATCH_TOP_DIR/13242773/post_deploy.sh

The OMS will be started automatically after running the post_deploy.sh script.

Run the following command on the Primary OMS of a multi-OMS setup:

The Primary OMS is the one co-located with the Admin server.

$ ./PATCH_TOP_DIR/13242773/post_deploy.sh

Run the following command on the other OMS environments (non-Primary):

$ ./ PATCH_TOP_DIR/13242773/MultiOms_post_deploy.sh

You will be asked to enter the patch location. For example:

/scratch/xxx/PATCH_TOP_DIR/13242773

Apply the JDeveloper and Web Services Manager patches 13470978 and 12321965 to OMS.

Note:

This must be applied to all of the OMS instances in a multi-OMS environment. Also, there is no specific sequence to apply these two patches.

If you have Enterprise Manager installed using the Enterprise Manager binaries with BP1, then this JDeveloper patch is automatically installed with no further work required.

If you are applying the BP1 on your existing Enterprise Manager installation, then you must apply the JDeveloper patch as an extra step. There are a variety of fixes in the patch, including functional issues and Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 browser support. The JDeveloper patch should be applied after BP1. For instructions, refer to the README of the respective patch.

Apply the patches following the instructions in the README of the corresponding patch. When you search for patch 12321965, you will find two releases of the patch, namely, 11.1.1.5.0 and 11.1.1.4.0. Make sure that you select and apply the 11.1.1.5.0 release of the patch. Verify that you apply both the patches in the oracle_common directory that resides in the Middleware Home (MW_HOME/oracle_common/). Set environment variable ORACLE_HOME to your [MW_HOME]/oracle_common directory before applying patches 13470978 and 12321965 to the OMS.

Verify that BP1 was properly installed by running the following command to check that the patch is registered in the inventory:

<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oms/opatch lsinventory

Figure 2-5 lsinventory Sample Output

To verify that all the patches are installed on the OMS, run the following commands:

Set the following environment variable on the OMS host:

setenv ORACLE_HOME <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oms

Run the following verification commands to ensure the patch has been applied to the OMS:

<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oms/opatch lspatches -id 13242773 -verify
<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oms/opatch lspatches -oh <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oracle_common -id 12321965 -verify
<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oms/opatch lspatches -oh /<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oracle_common -id 13470978 –verify

The results of the commands will show the patch number and its details if present in the OMS.

Apply BP1 patches and JDeveloper and Web Services Manager patches (13470978 and 12321965) to each standby OMS (if standby OMS instances have been deployed) by completing the following:

Shut down all standby OMS servers.

Using Opatch, apply the patches using the instructions provided here, but do not run the post_deploy.sh command (described in step 14).

Run the following for each standby OMS instance, where ORACLE_HOME is the Oracle Home of the OMS :

$ ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl 13242773_PATCH_TOP_DIR/apply12959056.pl
$ ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl 13242773_PATCH_TOP_DIR/apply13479448.pl

2.3 Upgrading All Deployed Plug-ins to the 12.1.0.2 Releases on OMS

The following sections describe in detail the steps required to upgrade deployed plug-ins to their Enterprise Manager 12.1.0.2 releases. The following topics are addressed:

Prerequisites for Deploying Plug-ins

Deploying Plug-ins in Online Mode on OMS

Deploying Plug-ins in Offline Mode on OMS

2.3.1 Prerequisites for Deploying Plug-ins

Make sure that you upgrade all of your version 12.1.0.1 plug-ins to the 12.1.0.2 releases (with out revision) where available. Update all plug-ins on an OMS instance one after the other until all have been upgraded (plug-ins can only be updated one at a time).

To verify that your plug-ins are upgraded to the latest 12.1.0.2 release, complete the following:

Back up your Oracle Inventory, Repository Database, Middleware Home, Instance Home, Software Library, Management Agent. You can refer to the back up instruction from Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide available here:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/index.htm

Log in to your repository database as SYSMAN and recompile invalid objects using the following command:

EXEC EMD_MAINT_UTIL.recompile_invalid_objects
SQL> EXEC
EMD_MAINT_UTIL.recompile_invalid_objects

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Make sure that you do not have any invalid objects in your repository. To check any invalid object, log in to the repository as a system user and run the following command:

SELECT object_name, object_type FROM ALL_OBJECTS WHERE owner='SYSMAN' and status <> 'VALID' ;

SQL> SELECT object_name, object_type
FROM ALL_OBJECTS
WHERE owner='SYSMAN' and status <> 'VALID' ;

no rows selected

If you find any invalid objects, run the first SQL again:

EXEC EMD_MAINT_UTIL.recompile_invalid_objects

Verify that DBMS jobs are running.

If they are not running, run the following package as sysman user:

EXEC EMD_MAINTENANCE.submit_em_dbms_jobs

To check if jobs are running, open the Enterprise Manager console and from the Setup menu, select Management Services and Repository, then select Repository Operations.

Figure 2-34 Repository Operations

Figure 2-35 Repository Scheduler Job Status

Stop and start your Database and OMS before your start the plug-in upgrade.

Do this on all the OMS instances of an multi-OMS environment.

Verify that the Target Management Agent (where you will be upgrading your plug-in) is up and running.

Follow the instructions in Section 2.7, "Upgrading ADP and JVMD (Optional)" if you are updating to the 12.1.0.2 release of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Plug-in and you already have Application Dependency and Performance (ADP) or JVM Diagnostics (JVMD) installed.

Stop the following components if they are running within your Cloud Control domain before updating any plug-in to the latest release:

Application Dependency and Performance (ADP) Manager

JVM Diagnostics (JVMD) Manager

Note:

Upgrade all your 12.1.0.1 version plug-ins to 12.1.0.2 releases one after the other until all have been upgraded. This means downloading one 12.1.0.2.0 plug-in, deploying that plug-in, then downloading another 12.1.0.2.0 plug-in and deploying that one, and so on.

2.3.2 Deploying Plug-ins in Online Mode on OMS

To deploy plug-ins in an online mode, complete the following:

From the Setup menu, select Extensibility, then select Self Update to get the complete list of available updates.

Figure 2-36 Self Update

Figure 2-49 Deploy Confirmation Screen

The OMS will be bounced automatically, So it is better to use $ emctl status oms -details to check for the plug-in deployment status.

From the Setup menu, select Extensibility, then select Plug-ins.

The plug-in version on OMS is now 12.1.0.2.0, as shown in the On Management Server column.

Figure 2-50 Plug-in Version

To deploy each updated plug-in on each Standby OMS, complete the following:

Go to the Self Update page, click Plug-in, then select the required plug-in.

From the Actions menu, select Export.

A pop-up window showing two possible export steps opens. Note the value of the -id parameter displayed in the pop-up window. You will need this value for the next step.

Figure 2-51 Export Steps

Before proceeding with the export steps, log in to OMS Home (OMSHOME/bin) and run the sync command, as shown below:

./emcli sync

The "Synchronized successfully" message should be displayed.

Run the following EM CLI command on one of the primary site OMS servers:

emcli export_update -id=<update id> -deep -host=<standby OMS host> -dir=<directory to export archives> <host credential options>

For example:

$ emcli export_update -id=725C4384A8D3AAB4BB1F672519378375 -deep -host=adc1140458.us.oracle.com -dir=/scratch/aime/plugins -credential_name=BDC -credential_owner=sysman

The command syntax contains the following options:

The -id option is taken from the pop up window.

The -deep option is required. In a multiple OMS setup, the request can be processed by any OMS. Therefore, the directory should be a valid path (ideally shared) for each OMS that can process the request.

The -host option identifies the target host to export the plug-in to.

The -dir option identifies the directory on the target host to export the plug-in to.

<host credential options> specifies the host credentials and can be one of the following:

credential_set_name: The set name of the preferred credential stored in the repository for the host target. For example, HostCredsNormal (the default unprivileged credential set) or HostCredsPriv (the privileged credential set).

credential_name: The name of a named credential stored in the repository. You must specify this option along with the credential_owner option.

credential_owner: The owner of a named credential stored in the repository. You must specify this option along with the credential_name option.

The command generates multiple zip files in the specified directory on the standby OMS host. The zip file with the name of the form version_OMS_platform_revision.zip, is the one to be used in the following steps. If you have multiple standby OMS hosts, copy this file to each host.

Start the Standby Administration Server, if it is down, using the following command:

$ emctl start oms -admin_only

Install the OMS archive on the First Standby OMS Oracle Home using the following command:

$ pluginia -archives path to plugin archive

Configure the plug-in on the First Standby OMS Oracle Home using the following command:

pluginca -action deploy -isFirstOMS true -plugins plugin-list -oracleHome oms oracle home -middlewareHome wls middleware home

where plugin-list is the plug-in name in the format plugin-id=plugin-version.

Copy the plug-in archive file to each Standby additional OMS.

Run the following commands from each Standby additional OMS Oracle Home:

$ pluginia -archives path to plugin archive

$ pluginca -action deploy -isFirstOMS false -plugins plugin-list -oracleHome oms oracle home -middlewareHome wls middleware home

This completes the plug-in deployment on Standby site. Validate the plug-ins by going to the Self Update page.

Select a plug-in and view its information. All OMS servers should be listed.

2.6 Upgrading BI Publisher Reports Shipped with the Plug-ins

This section provides detailed information on the steps needed to upgrade the Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher (BI Publisher) reports that shipped with the plug-ins. However, you should only run these steps if BI Publisher was previously installed and configured to work with Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c.

If BI Publisher is not installed and configured, this step will occur automatically when BI Publisher is configured at a later time.

To upgrade the BI Publisher reports, complete the following:

Start the BI Publisher Managed Server named "BIP".

Navigate to <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oms/bin

Run the following commands at the command line of the account that owns the Middleware Home:

emcli login -username=sysman

Enter the SYSMAN password at the prompt (the prompt will not echo).

emcli sync
emcli deploy_bipublisher_reports -force

It is very important that you use the "-force" option, otherwise the reports will not be updated.

You should receive confirmation of success. The message, which will be in your native language, will translate to the following in English:

The Enterprise Manager Oracle-provided Reports have been deployed to the Enterprise Manager Shared folder "Enterprise Manager Cloud Control" on the previously registered BI Publisher "http[s]://{biphost}:{bipport}/xmlpserver".

2.7 Upgrading ADP and JVMD (Optional)

This section provide detailed instructions on upgrading Application Dependency and Performance (ADP) and JVM Diagnostics (JVMD). The instructions provided are valid for the following conditions only:

You already have ADP or JVMD installed.

You have updated both Oracle Management Service and Management Agent on the target servers to the 12.1.0.2 release of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Plug-in.

Note:

The following instructions supersede any other instructions on ADP or JVMD patching contained in the OMS Patch (13242773) README document.

2.7.1 Upgrading Application Dependency and Performance

To upgrade ADP, complete the following:

Unzip the ADPManager.zip archive, which is in the following location:

$MIDDLEWARE_HOME/plugins/oracle.sysman.emas.oms.plugin_12.1.0.2.0/archives/ocamm/

This will create a folder called ADPManager.ear within the same directory.

Log in to the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console of the EMGC Domain and click Servers.

Locate all deployed ADP Managers.

These will be managed servers that contain "EMGC_ADPMANAGER" in the server name. For example, "EMGC_ADPMANAGER1". Perform the steps below for each ADP Manager. For illustration purposes, the server name "EMGC_ADPMANAGER1" is used.

Shut down EMGC_ADPMANAGER1 using the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console.

Figure 2-87 Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console

Use the mv command to rename the existing ADPManager.ear folder in the EMGC_ADPMANAGER1 directory to ADPManager.ear_12cc01978:

mv $MIDDLEWARE_HOME/gc_inst/user_projects/domains/GCDomain/EMGC_ADPMANAGER1/ADPManager.ear
$MIDDLEWARE_HOME/gc_inst/user_projects/domains/GCDomain/EMGC_ADPMANAGER1/ADPManager.ear_12cc01978

Use the mv command to move the ADPManager.ear folder you created to EMGC_ADPMANAGER1:

mv $MIDDLEWARE_HOME/plugins/oracle.sysman.emas.oms.plugin_12.1.0.2.0/archives/ocamm/ADPManager.ear
$MIDDLEWARE_HOME/gc_inst/user_projects/domains/GCDomain/EMGC_ADPMANAGER1/

Change directory to the config directory under the ADPManager.ear_12cc01978 folder using the following command:

cd $MIDDLEWARE_HOME/gc_inst/user_projects/domains/GCDomain/EMGC_ADPMANAGER1/ADPManager.ear_12cc01978/ADPManager.war/config/

Copy the Acsera.properties file as shown in the following command:

Note:

If you have previously installed but never started the ADP manager, then the listed configuration files will not exist. In this case, you can safely skip steps 8 and 9.

cp -f configuration.xml Acsera.properties key
$MIDDLEWARE_HOME/gc_inst/user_projects/domains/GCDomain/EMGC_ADPMANAGER1/ADPManager.ear/ADPManager.war/config/

Add the following properties at the end of the Acsera.properties files you just copied:

JMXContainer.DisableComputeClassPaths = true
DeployerClient.CoreJAgentJars=lib/bcel.jar; lib/com.oracle.diagnostics.instrumentor_1.8.0.0-try-03.jar; lib/jManagement Agent1.5.jar
DeployerClient.WLDFJar=com.oracle.diagnostics.instrumentor_1.8.0.0-try-03.jar

Start ADP Manager using the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console.

Redeploy all ADP Agents on the previously configured target servers.

Note that you will essentially redeploy the Management Agents on top of the original Management Agents. For instructions, see the following:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/install.121/e22624/adp_installation.htm#CJHFFADD

Restart the target servers.

2.7.2 Upgrading JVM Diagnostics

Note:

Before you begin upgrading JVM Diagnostics, ensure that you delete the existing JVM pool targets. To do so, log in to Enterprise Manager Cloud Console, and from Targets menu, select Middleware. On the Middleware page, select all the targets of type Java Virtual Machine Pool one by and one, and click Remove.

To upgrade JVMD, complete the following:

Unzip the jvmd.zip archive, which is in the following location:

$MIDDLEWARE_HOME/plugins/oracle.sysman.emas.oms.plugin_12.1.0.2.0/archives/jvmd/

This will create a set of files in the same directory, including jammanager.ear.

Log in to the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console of the EMGC Domain and click Servers.

Locate all deployed JVMD Managers.

These will be managed servers that contain "EMGC_JVMDMANAGER" in the server name, such as "EMGC_JVMDMANAGER1". For each JVMD Manager, perform the steps below. For illustration purposes, the server name "EMGC_JVMDMANAGER1" will be used.

Start EMGC_JVMDMANAGER1, if it is not already running.

Click Lock & Edit in the Change Center on the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console.

Figure 2-88 Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Lock & Edit Button

Select Deployments, then click the checkbox for Enterprise Application for a JVMD Manager.

For example: jammanagerEMGC_JVMDMANAGER1

Click Update.

Note the source path to the existing jammanager.ear.

For example:

$MIDDLEWARE_HOME/gc_inst/user_projects/domains/GCDomain/servers/EMGC_ADMINSERVER/upload/jammanagerEMGC_JVMDMANAGER1/app/jammanager.ear

At the source path you noted in the previous step replace the existing jammanager.ear with the jammanager.ear from the following location:

$MIDDLEWARE_HOME/plugins/oracle.sysman.emas.oms.plugin_12.1.0.2.0/archives/jvmd/

Click Next to complete the update.

If you have Middleware Diagnostics Advisor (MDA) enabled, complete the following to disable it for every Oracle WebLogic Domain and Oracle WebLogic Server target it has been enabled for:

In Cloud Control, navigate to the target home page for a WebLogic Server domain.

From the WebLogic Domain menu, select Diagnostics, then select Setup Middleware Diagnostics Advisor.

Figure 2-89 Setup Middleware Diagnostics Advisor

Select each target that MDA has been enabled for, then click Disable, as shown below.

Figure 2-90 MDA Configuration (Enable / Disable)

Undeploy existing JVMD Management Agents from the target server.

Management Agents will usually have names such as javadiagnosticManagement Agent_ServerName.

Remove the corresponding Java Virtual Machine targets using Enterprise Manager Cloud Control:

From the Targets menu, select Middleware.

Locate the Java Virtual Machine targets that correspond to the JVMD Management Agents you undeployed.

Select each Java Virtual Machine target in the table, then click Remove.

Redeploy all JVMD Management Agents.

For more information, see the following:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/install.121/e22624/jvmd_installation.htm#CHDCFFGC

After all JVMD Management Agents have been redeployed, return to the Middleware Diagnostics Advisor Configuration page and re-enable MDA for each target it was previously enabled for.

3 Update Existing Agent Image to Agent Image with BP1 included

This chapter describes how to update the existing downloaded Management Agent image in your environment to a Management Agent image with BP1 included. Once you update your image, you will not be required to apply any BP1 patches to the Management Agents that will be installed using this updated image.

At present, updated images with BP1 included are available for Linux32 and Linux 64 bit platforms only. When Management Agent binaries with BP1 included are released for other platforms, you just repeat the steps described in the following sections to update them.

4 Bundle Patch 1 for Windows and zLinux Management Agents

This chapter describes various usecases for Bundle Patch 1 for Windows 64 bit OMS and Management Agent, Windows 32 bit Management Agent only, and zLinux Management Agent only. The following scenarios are discussed:

Installing Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c on Windows (64-bit)

Managing Windows or zLinux Hosts from OMS on Linux with BP1

Managing Windows or zLinux Hosts from OMS without BP1

4.1 Installing Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c on Windows (64-bit)

To install Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c on Windows, download the binaries from Oracle Technology Network. You can get the 12.1.0.1 installation software from the product DVD or from Oracle Technology Network (OTN) at:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/enterprise-manager/downloads/index.html

For more information, refer to the Procuring Software section of the Oracle® Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Advanced Installation and Configuration Guide 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1), which can be found at the following location:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/install.121/e24089/getstrtd_proc_sw.htm#BACFDBCA

On the download page, select the Windows (64-bit) (With Bundle Patch 1) release.

The Bundle Patch 1 binaries will be installed by default. Enterprise Manager binaries will have BP1 patches included by default. You do not need to follow the BP1 patch instructions outlined in this document.

The 12.1.0.2 versions of the Oracle Database and Oracle Fusion Middleware plug-ins will also be installed by default as part of the Windows installation process. You will have the option of installing additional available plug-ins, such as the Fusion Applications plug-in, during installation. Oracle recommends that you also install all the plug-ins that you think you may need.

When you invoke the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Installation Wizard, you will be given a choice between two Install Types: Simple and Advanced. To install the additional plug-ins, you must perform an Advanced installation.

For more information, see "Installing with Advanced Configuration" in the Oracle® Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Basic Installation Guide 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1), available at the following link:

4.2 Managing Windows or zLinux Hosts from OMS on Linux with BP1

This section discusses the management of Windows (32-bit or 64-bit) or zLinux Hosts from Oracle Management Service on Linux (32-bit or 64-bit) with BP1. The following assumes that you have an Oracle Management Service 12.1.0.1 instance running on a Linux host with BP1 applied, or a fresh installation that includes the BP1 binaries, and want to monitor Windows and/or zLinux host machines. The Oracle Management Service 12.1.0.1 instance must either be a fresh installation, as noted in the section above, or must be patched with BP1.

See Section 2.1, "Applying Bundle Patch 1 on Oracle Management Service" for instructions on applying BP1 on a Linux 32-bit or 64-bit Oracle Management Service host.

Note:

A Linux OMS should have BP1 applied or included. This is a mandatory requirement for monitoring the Windows or zLinux agents.

Once these prerequisites have been met, you must complete the steps outlined in the following sections in the order specified:

Applying Patch 14040891 on Oracle Management Service (Required)

Patching Database, Fusion Middleware, and Fusion Application Plug-ins

Downloading the Management Agent Software

Downloading and Upgrading Plug-ins to Windows-specific Revisions

Deploying Management Agents to Windows or zLinux Host Targets

Adding Targets to Monitor

The processes described in the following sections are identical for Windows 32-bit, Windows 64-bit and zLinux Management Agents.

4.2.1 Applying Patch 14040891 on Oracle Management Service (Required)

You must apply patch 14040891 on your Oracle Management Service 12.1.0.1 on Linux 32-bit or 64-bit. To install the patch, complete the following:

Note:

In the case of a multi-OMS environment, once you have performed these steps on the first OMS host, repeat the same steps for each of the other OMS hosts, except for steps (8), (9), (14), and (15).

Back up the following before beginning this process:

Oracle Inventory

Management Repository database

Middleware Home

Instance Home

Software Library

Management Agent

For instructions, see "Backing Up Enterprise Manager" in the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide available here:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e24473/ha_backup_recover.htm#BGBCCIJC

Verify that the correct OPatch version is installed under the OMS Home. The OPatch version required for installing the Bundle Patch 1 is 11.1.0.9.4 or higher. Do not use OPatch 11.2.0.x. For more information on OPatch version, see Section 1.4.3, "Using the Correct OPatch Version".

Ensure that the Management Repository database and its listener are up and running.

Ensure that you set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to the OMS Home, which is:

<%MIDDLEWARE_HOME%>/oms

This is the top-level directory of the Oracle Management Server installation.

Ensure that you set the PATH environment variable to include the location of the unzip executable, the ORACLE_HOME/bin, and the ORACLE_HOME/OPatch directories present in the Oracle home of the OMS with the following command:

setenv PATH $ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$PATH

Run the following command to verify that the PATH variable is set:

echo $PATH

Download patch 14040891 from My Oracle Support (https://support.oracle.com)

Verify the Oracle Inventory by running the following command:

$ opatch lsinventory

This verification is needed because OPatch accesses the Oracle Inventory. If the command displays any errors, contact Oracle Support to resolve the issue.

Identify a location for storing the contents of the patch ZIP file.

In the rest of this section, this location (absolute path) is referred to as PATCH_TOP_DIR.

Run the following command to extract the contents of the patch ZIP file to the location you created in the previous step:

$ unzip -d PATCH_TOP_DIR p14040891_121010_Generic.zip

Run the following command from the patch directory to ensure that patch 14040891 does not conflict with existing one-off patches on the Linux OMS:

$PATCH_TOP_DIR/opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -phBaseDir ./14040891

Figure 4-1 Patch 14040891

The command will generate a report that lists all conflicting patches. If you do not see any conflicting patches, then proceed with installing the patch.

If you see one or more conflicting patches, then follow these steps:

Submit a request for Merge patches from Oracle Support.

Download the Merge one-off patches from My Oracle Support.

Manually deinstall the conflicting patches by following the instructions in the README file for each conflicting patch. Refer to My Oracle Support note 965556.1 for additional information.

Apply patch 14040891 on the Linux OMS.

Apply the Merge one-off patches.

Invoke the following command to ensure that the OMS is not running:

<OMS_ORACLE_HOME>/bin emctl stop oms -all

Run the following command to verify that the OMS has completely stopped:

<OMS_ORACLE_HOME>/bin emctl status oms

Ideally, the OMS and its associated services will be down. Note: In a multi-OMS environment, these commands should be run on all OMS instances.

Use the following command to navigate to the PATCH_TOP_DIR/14040891 directory:

$ cd PATCH_TOP_DIR/14040891

Run the following command to apply the patch:

This command should be run on each OMS instance in a multi-OMS environment.

$ opatch napply

The following messages may appear on screen:

Do you want to proceed? [y|n]: (yes)

Note:

If you have any patches applied in your environment that are a superset of 13638422, you will get a message to rollback the existing patches. This is expected behavior and enter Y to proceed.

The following is an example of this message:

Conflicts/Supersets for each patch are:

4.2.6 Adding Targets to Monitor

Once plug-in revisions are deployed on a Windows or zLinux host, you are ready to discover Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Fusion Applications targets running on the host.

When a target is discovered on the Windows host, the required plug-in code needed to monitor the target types will be deployed to the Management Agent installed on the host. For example, if you discover an Oracle Database target, the required Oracle Database plug-in code will be pushed to the Management Agent installed on the database host machine.

Enterprise Manager offers two options for target discovery:

Automatic target discovery: This feature scans host machines for Oracle components that can be managed and monitored by Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.

For instructions on configuring automatic discovery, see:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e24473/discovery.htm#CBACIHEJ

Manual target discovery: This feature guides you through the process of manually discovering targets on the Windows host.

For instructions on manually discovering targets, see:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e24473/discovery.htm#CBAEIBCC

4.3 Managing Windows or zLinux Hosts from OMS without BP1

If you are planning to monitor a Windows 32 or 64 bit host or zLinux host from an OMS that does not have BP1 included or applied, this usecase is not supported. You need to wait until BP1 is released for the respective platform. Refer to the BP1 release schedule contained in My Oracle Support note 1395505.1 at the following location:

https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&doctype=ANNOUNCEMENT&id=1395505.1

5 Bundle Patch 1 for Solaris (SPARC), Solaris (x86-64), and IBM AIX (64-bit)

This chapter describes various usecases to apply Bundle Patch 1 on Solaris (SPARC), Solaris (x86-64), and IBM AIX (64-bit) OMS and Management Agents. This chapter contains the following sections:

Before You Begin

Installing Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c on Solaris (SPARC), Solaris (x86-64), or IBM AIX (64-bit)

Applying Bundle Patch 1 on Solaris SPARC, Solaris (x86-64), or IBM AIX

Managing New Management Agents Deployed on Solaris SPARC, Solaris (x86-64), IBM AIX, HP-UX, or HP-UX Itanium Hosts from OMS on Linux with BP1 or from OMS on Windows with Bundle Patch 1

Managing Existing Management Agents Running on Solaris SPARC, Solaris (x86-64), IBM AIX, HP-UX, or HP-UX Itanium Hosts from OMS on Linux with BP1 or from OMS on Windows with Bundle Patch 1

5.1 Before You Begin

Read the following important notes before proceeding with the installation process:

If you have configured Enterprise Manager for high availability by deploying one or more additional OMS and using a local Real Application Cluster or Data Guard database for the repository database, use the following patching sequence:

Stop each OMS.

Apply the patch to each OMS home.

Run the post deploy steps.

There is no special consideration when using Data Guard because any changes to the repository that occur as part of the patching exercise are forwarded to the standby database repository as part of normal Data Guard operations.

If you have configured Enterprise Manager for Disaster Recovery by deploying one or more standby OMS and a standby database (Oracle RAC or single instance) at another site, patching of the standby site should be performed after all patches and plug-in updates have been deployed on the primary site.

Once the primary site patches and updated plug-ins have been deployed, any changes to the repository made due to these updates will be forwarded to the standby database repository as part of normal Data Guard operations. Therefore, to patch the standby site use the following patching sequence:

Apply the patches to the standby OMS Homes without performing the post deploy operations that update the repository.

Deploying the updated plug-ins without updating the repository.

5.2 Installing Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c on Solaris (SPARC), Solaris (x86-64), or IBM AIX (64-bit)

To install Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c on Solaris (SPARC), Solaris (x86-64), or, IBM AIX (64-bit) download the binaries from Oracle Technology Network. You can get the 12.1.0.1 installation software from the product DVD or from Oracle Technology Network (OTN) at:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/install.121/e24089/getstrtd_proc_sw.htm#BACFDBCA

On the download page, select the Solaris (SPARC), or Solaris (x86-64), or IBM AIX (64-bit) (With Bundle Patch 1) release.

The Bundle Patch 1 binaries will be installed by default. Enterprise Manager binaries will have BP1 patches included by default. You do not need to follow the BP1 patch instructions outlined in this document.

The 12.1.0.2 versions of the Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware, My Oracle Support, and Exadata plug-ins will also be installed by default as part of the Solaris (SPARC), Solaris (x86-64), or, IBM AIX (64-bit) installation process. You will have the option of installing additional available plug-ins, such as the Fusion Applications plug-in, during installation. Oracle recommends that you also install all the plug-ins that you think you may need.

When you invoke the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Installation Wizard, you will be given a choice between two Install Types: Simple and Advanced. To install the additional plug-ins, you must perform an Advanced installation.

For more information, see "Installing with Advanced Configuration" in the Oracle® Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Basic Installation Guide 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1), available at the following link:

Step 8: Upgrading ADP and JVM Diagnostics

Step 9: Updating the Existing Agent Image to the Latest Agent Image with Bundle Patch 1

5.3.1 Step 1: Applying Bundle Patch 1 on Oracle Management Service

To apply Bundle Patch 1 on Solaris (SPARC), Solaris (x86-64), or, IBM AIX (64-bit) Oracle Management Service, follow these steps:

Ensure that the Oracle Management Service (OMS) on which you are installing the patch or from which you are rolling back the patch is Oracle Management Service 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1.0).

Ensure that you have the latest version of OPatch. If you do not have the latest version, then follow the instructions outlined in the My Oracle Support note 224346.1 available at:

https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=224346.1

Ensure that you set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to OMS core home, which is <%MIDDLEWARE_HOME%>/oms.

Where <%MIDDLEWARE_HOME%> refers to the location where Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is installed. For example, /u01/app/Oracle/Middleware.

Ensure that you set the PATH environment variable to include the location of the unzip executable, and the <ORACLE_HOME>/bin and the <ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch directories present in the Oracle home of the OMS.

Verify the Oracle Inventory because OPatch accesses it to install the patches. To verify the inventory, run the following command. If the command displays some errors, then contact Oracle Support and resolve the issue.

$ opatch lsinventory

Check that the Oracle Database, which contains the Management Repository, and its listener are up and running.

Download OMS BP1 13242773 from My Oracle Support, and extract its contents to an accessible location, which is referred to as <PATCH_TOP_DIR> in this section.

Download the JDeveloper and Web Services Manager patches 13470978 and 12321965, respectively, from My Oracle Support. You will be required to apply these patches after applying the 13242773 BP1 on the OMS. Download the patch 12321965 for Release 11.1.1.5.0 version.

Stop the OMS:

$ emctl stop oms

To verify that the OMS has stopped, run the following command:

$ emctl status oms

Note:

In a multi-OMS environment, shut down all OMS instances.

Stop the following components if running within your Cloud Control domain before applying BP1 or updating any plug-in to the latest release:

Application Dependency and Performance (ADP) Manager.

JVM Diagnostics (JVMD) Manager.

BI Publisher Managed Server named "BIP".

Install OMS BP1 13242773 by running the following command:

$ cd PATCH_TOP_DIR/13242773

$ opatch apply

Note:

In a multi-OMS environment, run this command on all OMS instances. Run opatch apply in parallel for all OMS instances in this step OR complete the BP1 application process on the first OMS, then do the same for the other OMS instances.

Select the appropriate script to automate the BP1 postinstallation process, depending on whether you have a single-OMS environment or a multi-OMS environment.

Note:

Ensure that you are in the BP1 location PATCH_TOP_DIR. Also, keep the Repository host name, SID, Listener port, and SYSMAN password ready before running the post_deploy.sh script.

Single OMS Environment

In a single-OMS environment, run the following command from the Bundle Patch 1 directory:

$ PATCH_TOP_DIR/13242773/post_deploy.sh

The post_deploy.sh script prompts for the following details: SYSMAN password, Enterprise Manager Repository Host, Enterprise Manager Repository Port, Enterprise Manager Repository SID, and the patch location.

The OMS will be started automatically after running the post_deploy.sh script.

Multi-OMS Environment

In a multi-OMS environment, do the following:

Find the Administration Server by running the following command from OMS home:

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl status oms -details

Output similar to the following is displayed:

$ ./PATCH_TOP_DIR/13242773/post_deploy.sh

Run the following command on the other OMS environments (non-Primary):

$ ./ PATCH_TOP_DIR/13242773/MultiOms_post_deploy.sh

You will be asked to enter the patch location. For example:

/scratch/xxx/PATCH_TOP_DIR/13242773

Apply the JDeveloper and Web Services Manager patches 13470978 and 12321965 to OMS.

Note:

This must be applied to all of the OMS instances in a multi-OMS environment. Also, there is no specific sequence to apply these two patches.

If you have Enterprise Manager installed using the Enterprise Manager binaries with BP1, then this JDeveloper patch is automatically installed with no further work required.

If you are applying the BP1 on your existing Enterprise Manager installation, then you must apply the JDeveloper patch as an extra step. There are a variety of fixes in the patch, including functional issues and Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 browser support. The JDeveloper patch should be applied after BP1. For instructions, refer to the README of the respective patch.

Apply the patches following the instructions in the README of the corresponding patch. When you search for patch 12321965, you will find two releases of the patch, namely, 11.1.1.5.0 and 11.1.1.4.0. Make sure that you select and apply the 11.1.1.5.0 release of the patch. Verify that you apply both the patches in the oracle_common directory that resides in the Middleware Home (MW_HOME/oracle_common/). Set environment variable ORACLE_HOME to your [MW_HOME]/oracle_common directory before applying patches 13470978 and 12321965 to the OMS.

Verify that BP1 was properly installed by running the following command to check that the patch is registered in the inventory:

$<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oms/OPatch/opatch lsinventory

To verify that all the patches are installed on the OMS, run the following commands:

Set the following environment variable on the OMS host:

setenv ORACLE_HOME <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oms

Run the following verification commands to ensure the patch has been applied to the OMS:

$<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oms/OPatch/opatch lspatches -id 13242773 -verify

$<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oms/OPatch/opatch lspatches -oh <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oracle_common -id 12321965 -verify

$<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oms/OPatch/opatch lspatches -oh /<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oracle_common -id 13470978 –verify

The results of the commands will show the patch number and its details if present in the OMS.

Download OMS BP1 14040891 from My Oracle Support, and extract its contents to an accessible location, which is referred to as <PATCH_TOP_DIR2> in the rest of this section.

If the OMS is running, stop it. Otherwise, skip this step.

$ emctl stop oms

To verify that the OMS has stopped, run the following command:

emctl status oms

Note:

In a multi-OMS environment, shut down all OMS instances.

Install OMS BP1 14040891:

$ cd <PATCH_TOP_DIR2>/14040891

$ opatch napply

Note:

In a multi-OMS environment, run this command on all OMS instances. Run opatch napply in parallel for all OMS instances in this step OR complete the BP1 application process on the first OMS, then do the same for the other OMS instances.

Run the following command:

$ emctl applypatch repos -patchHome <PATCH_TOP_DIR2>/14040891/13653571

If the command succeeds, the following message is displayed:
