Enterprise Manager Database Control 10.2.0.4, 10.2.0.5

What is the Issue?

In Enterprise Manager Database Control with Oracle Database 10.2.0.4 and 10.2.0.5, the root certificate used to secure communications via the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol will expire on 31-Dec-2010 00:00:00. The certificate expiration will cause errors if you attempt to configure Database Control on or after 31-Dec-2010. Existing Database Control configurations are not affected by this issue.

If you plan to configure Database Control with either of these Oracle Database releases, Oracle strongly recommends that you apply Patch 8350262 to your Oracle Home installations before you configure Database Control. Configuration of Database Control is typically done when you create or upgrade Oracle Database, or if you run Enterprise Manager Configuration Assistant (EMCA) in standalone mode.

What Versions Are Affected?

• The issue impacts configuration of Database Control with Oracle Database 10.2.0.4 and 10.2.0.5 only. It does not impact database creation or upgrade.
• The issue does not impact existing Database Control configurations.
• Application of Patch 8350262 will not require database downtime.

What Will Happen If You Fail to Apply the Patch?

If you do not apply Patch 8350262 to your Oracle Home installation before you attempt to configure Database Control on or after 31-Dec-2010, you will encounter errors during the configuration process. See My Oracle Support Note 1222603.1 for instructions on recovering from the expected Database Control configuration errors.
