After my first encounter with a HP-UX system recently, I soon discovered that annoyingly, neither the df -h or df -g commands work in HP-UX!

How to check which PSU is installed…if any Oracle PSUs (Patch Set Updates) are referenced by their 5-place version number.

Shutdown the agent: export AGENT_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/agent11g $AGENT_HOME/bin/emctl stop agent Delete the related targets from Enterprise Manager. Run the deinstaller (silent mode): $AGENT_HOME/oui/bin/runInstaller -invPtrLoc $AGENT_HOME/oraInst.loc -deinstall -silent “REMOVE_HOMES={$AGENT_HOME}” -removeallfiles NOTE: I’ve included the ‘invPtrLoc’ flag above.

After moving to Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c, one of the annoyances I soon discovered was this message “The page has expired. Click OK to continue”. When you’re not actively using the console, it doesn’t take long before the message appears, which is especially annoying when you have the performance monitoring pages running in the background! According to Oracle it’s

The first time I had to find out what version of Oracle Application Server was running, I thought it would be a pretty straight forward task, but it’s not so straight forward as you’d first think, so I thought I’d blog it so I know for next time 😉 Some people check the $ORACLE_HOME/install/readme.txt file, which
