All, thanks for the responses. My question was whether I could run more than one instance of Database Control on the same server. I have a situation where there's only one server available for Oracle, and two databases, and I didn't want to deal with Grid Control in that case, if I didn't have to. I'll also post Robert Freeman's response, which has gotten me headed in the right direction: ----- Original Message ---- From: Robert Freeman To: mary mcneely Sent: Saturday, May 30, 2009 12:48:24 PM Subject: Re: Database Control Yes. Each database will have it's own instance of database control, running on a different TCP port. When you setup database control (emca) it will tell you which URL/port that databases instance is listening on. You can set the ORACLE_SID and then use the command emctl status dbconsole to determine the database control URL/port for that database if you forget. Grid control is more of an Enterprise solution to OEM. If your running a medium sized to large sized install base of Oracle then you migth want to consider Grid Control as already mentioned in this thread. Cheers!
