All, Windows 2000, 10g R1. My database is running fine on windows 2000 and Oracle DB Console also running fine. But when I looked at Oracle EM Database control it says "the database status is currently unavailable. " I resrated both DB and DB Console but no luck. It used to work fine until sometime back. What could be wrong? I need OEM database control, since I am preparing for certification exam. Thanks Sami -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
