Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g is a powerful tool that comes with many administrative features which make database management much more simpler.
It has an inbuilt job scheduler that lets you schedule jobs. Its not a very feature rich scheduler but still does quite a lot considering the fact that it is free with Oracle's License.
I am outlining a configuration problem that may save some time to diagnose:
If a shell script or a Java program is executed using OEM under the credentials of a user who doesnt belong to the Oracle user group on Solaris, it fails with the following error:
Shell script :
/bin/sh: cannot determine current directory
or
shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied
Java Proram :
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java.lang.Error: Properties init: Could not determine current working directory
This is due to permission lacking on the directory where the OEM agent is installed
/u01/app/oracle/product/agent10g/sysman/emd
Check the permissions on this directory.
drwxr-x--- 6 oracle dba 512 May 12 13:40 emd
Change the permissions to
drwxr-xr-x 6 oracle dba 512 May 12 13:40 emd
I believe that OEM's working directory is the above location and since the underlying user doesnt have access to this directory, hence all the programs error out.
