Check emkey is copied to the repository

 Emkey is kept secured,but upgrade process demand that it should be available. So we have to expose emkey to the installer. After that the key can be removed from repository and it make the emkey secured again.

So if you get an error message for the prerequisite "Check emkey is copied to the repository". For all this activity you need SYSMAN password.

Go to the OMS server and ORACLE_HOME/bin
  • ./emctl config emkey -copy_to_repos
Now proceed again with the upgrade. Once the upgrade is finished, remove the key from the repository.
  • ./emctl config emkey -remove_from_repos
To know the status of the emkey, execute
  • ./emctl status emkey
The key can be seen in $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/config/emkey.ora
