Hi Jeff, What version of Oracle 9i OEM are you using? We're using R2, and this event works fine for us; but then, I don't see that note in the help window. I suggest just trying to register it, and if that works keep an eye on the alert log yourself to see if the event catches any errors. > Note: This event is valid only for releases of the Intelligent Agent prior to > 9i. > > So 9i alert logs can't be monitored?????? --------------- Jason Heinrich Oracle Database Administrator Pensacola Christian College (850) 478-8496 x2509 jheinrich@xxxxxxxx -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
