emctl Usage

In this section we'll cover the purpose, location, common usage, and syntax for the emctlm utility.

Purpose

ASC is the GUI 10g AS administration utility. It can be used to control all components within a 10g AS instance and can do everything done by the opmnctl and dcmctl tools. The key difference is that ASC is a web-based graphical utility. By default, the URL for the ASC tool is http://hostname.domain:1810 .

The username is ias_admin and the password is whatever was selected at product installation time (unless it was changed post installation). The default port (1810) and the HTTP Protocol can be changed (to HTTPS).

Prior to accessing the ASC URL, you must first start the utility by emctl . Common usages are to start, stop, and check the status of ASC.

Location

Located in the 10g AS $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.
