After you install and configure the Oracle Database Extended agent, you must
start the agent. You can use local or remote interfaces.
Important: - The user who configures, starts, or stops the agent must have
write and execute permissions to the agent installation directory.
- Use the same user ID to configure, start, or stop the Oracle Database Extended agent.
- If the locally installed Oracle database is used by the agent
to connect monitored databases, the user who starts the agent must
have read and execute permissions to the local Oracle database directory.
- If the Oracle Call Interface (OCI) libraries in the Oracle instant
client are used to connect monitored databases by the agent, the user
who starts the agent must have read and execute permissions to those
Oracle Call Interface (OCI) libraries.
After installing and configuring the Oracle Database Extended agent, start
the agent by using the command relevant to the operating system and
location where the agent is running. Table 1 shows which interfaces
you can use with Windows, UNIX, and Linux systems locally and remotely.
Important: Do not use the kill -9 command
to stop the Oracle Database Extended agent process.
Do not use the kill command as a normal method
to stop the monitoring agent.
