I think using OEM to browse AWR data at all required diagnostics pack.

In fact, I think looking at AWR data through any tool (custom built or 
otherwise) requires diagnostics pack.

No dba_hist_* views for you! :)

As everything in DBA World, it depends.  I do like GC (10.2.0.3) for the
ability to easily browse through its AWR-like repository to show me what
happened in the DB days, weeks, or months (if one manages to find how to
configure GC to extend the repository from its default values) ago.  And,
more importantly, *who* was running that particular statement that caused
whatever issue.  I just used this to see that we've been having significant
library cache latch issues on Saturdays going back to at least April.

The downside is of course that GC never notified me of those latch
contentions in the first place.  See one of my rants at
//www.freelists.org/post/oracle-l/Extent-allocation-time-process-check,4
  As an aside, those notifications do seem to require the Diagnostics
Pack...

Sure, I could code something similar to the repository browsing, but I have
other fun functionality to rewrite/workaround.  :)

Enjoy!

Rich
