How to download the 12c Cloud Control Agent software

Note that in Oracle 12c Cloud Control, we cannot download the agent software from the online Oracle download software web site – we have to provision the same via the 12c OMS framework.

In this example we will download the 12c agent software for Windows 32-bit – our OMS is hosted on a Linux platform.

From the Setup >> Extensibility menu select Self Update

We see that we are not connected online to MOS and are using the offline method for the self update.

Note the software library in OEM has not been refreshed recently.

Click on Check Updates

On OMS server – execute the following commands

[oracle@vmnapp01 bin]$ ./emcli login -username="sysman" -password="xxx"
Login successful

[oracle@vmnapp01 bin]$ ./emcli import_update_catalog -file=/app/oracle/Middleware/oms/p9348486_112000_Generic.zip –omslocal
