I'll be totally honest in this- I stumbled into the OEM10g environment because
when it broke, I was the only one who was foolish enough to dig into it and
figure out what was up. It really was just everyone's monitoring tools covered
in a "pretty picture" and it was painful. I was a command line girl then,
still am to this day, but I realized how often no one wanted to learn my flavor
of shell or perl scripting and the same went for me. Having to dig in and
figure out in a new environment where the backup scripts were, what OS user(s)
owned the crons, etc., was the reason I started pushing EM12c on folks, as it
created a one-stop shop, even building the RMAN backup scripts for you and
simplifying blackout maintenance.
I love the EMCLI and spend much of my time figuring out how to mass create
scripts these days to automate work from it's command line. Maybe I'm going
backwards in doing so, but it is still it's own interface that simplifies and
consolidates what the DBA is doing in the environment, securing it with
credentials through the EM12c while you go along.

Subject: Re: 12c grid control
This has been an extraordinarily informative conversation. I appreciate
the expertise of all of you.
The most daunting task for me and my team is simply the transition from
"management by script/cronjob" to modern, gui-driven enterprise management
and cloud control. We are contracted to perform "first echelon
maintenance". That is monitor,"break/fix", backup, and restore. Clearly,
we are going to have to understand OEM from the ground up, eventually. But
for right now, just getting a handle on tablespaces, file systems,
listeners, and data block corruption is an adventure. Adapting OEM 12c for
first line maintenance troops, in terms suitable for those of the most
minimal comprehension may be unattainable.
I am plowing through the YouTube Oracle Learning channel and about to start
cruising the OBE pages. If someone knows more direct route, I'd be happy
to hear it.
Thanks,
Gus
