So my question is: If the license for the database for OMR is included in the product being monitored, as long as no options (eg: RAC) are involved: is the Standby database for OMR - covered by DG Broker & Observer - also included [aka free]? If yes, then we have an opportunity to learn how to configure OMS, and/or to learn how to use VIP under OMR. I love learning opportunities. /Hans On 12/04/2012 9:36 AM, Kellyn Pot'vin wrote: > Since without EM, we DBA's are often in the dark, I appreciate the proposal > of RAC for the environment, but doesn't this kill the free licensing option > that many companies take advantage of to keep costs down?
