Is it just me, or is 11g Grid Control exceptionally hard to get your hands 
around?
So far:

1.      I was getting errors

2011-10-26 00:00:15,961 [JobWorker 34273:Thread-82] ERROR em.jobs 
startDownload.812 - OpatchUpdateLatest: The Software Library directory has not 
been configured 2011-10-26 10:19:54,585 [EMUI_10_19_54_/console/functions] WARN 
 util.PAUtil loadCheckPrivilegesFlag.923 - Unable to load privilege check flag



Metalink was *no* help but found the answer on a wordpress blog (Yay

2.      Oracle 11g Grid Control "Master Note" doesn't contain Oracle Notes that 
I think it probably should such as:

a.      Note 1276554.1 11g Grid Control: Details of the Directory Structure and 
Commonly Used Locations in a 11g OMS Installation

b.      Note 1104050.1 11g Grid Control: How to Process Control (start, stop 
check status) the 11g Oracle Management Service (OMS)?

*Personally* I think both of those *should* be in the "Master" note.......


3.      And have you *ever* tried to find patches for Oracle 11g Grid Control 
on Metalink??
I looked for the terms "Oracle Grid Control", "Grid Control", "Oracle 
Enterprise Manager", "Oracle Middleware", "Middleware", "Oracle Management 
Server" and maybe a couple of others.  You know where the patches are found?  
"Enterprise Manager Base Release"

Moving on....
