How To Change Target Name in OEM 12C - 13C - Database Adminstration

There are two ways to change the target name in OEM 12C/13C. Option 1 involves deleting the database from the cloud control console and re-adding it with the new name. Option 2 changes the display name of the database, which changes the name in certain OEM screens but not all screens. A target has both a display name and entity name. The display name can be changed using an emcli command to modify the target, while the entity name requires deleting and re-adding the target.

Option 2) Change the display name of the database.


Note that this option changes the name that the database name is displayed as in
certain screens of cloud control, but not necessarily all of the screens. (only those
that are designed to display the display_name)

ABOUT THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF TARGET NAME

A target in Cloud Control has two types of name:-

The ‘display_name’ -This is the name that the database is displayed as in some of
the screens of Cloud Control console
The ‘entity_name’ – This is the true name of the database entity in the Cloud
Control repository and in the agent’s targets.xml le

Note* neither of these names have to necessarily correspond with the actual real
name/SID of the database. Normally for a database target, the display name, and the
entity name will be the same.

This can be checked by running the following sql in the repository database:-

SELECT ENTITY_TYPE, ENTITY_NAME, DISPLAY_NAME FROM


EM_MANAGEABLE_ENTITIES
WHERE ENTITY_TYPE=’oracle_database’ and promote_status=3 and
manage_status=’2′

or it is shown in the targets.xml (in agent_inst/sysman/emd/targets.xml) on the agent


machine:-

<Target TYPE=”oracle_database” NAME=”orcl” DISPLAY_NAME=”orcl” ON_HOST=””


EMD_URL=”https://earth.com:6872/emd/main/&#8221; TIMEZONE_REGION=””
IDENTIFIER=”TARGET_GUID=FDB08ADAGEASDRYESDHDRCF”>

TO CHANGE THE DISPLAY NAME

To change the display name of the database use the following emcli command.

Note* from 12.1.0.3 onwards, emcli is automatically installed and con gured in the
ORACLE_HOME of the OMS.

cd $ORACLE_HOME<of OMS>
emcli login -username=sysman -password=<sysman password>
emcli sync
emcli modify_target -name=”<entity name>” -type=”oracle_database” -
display_name=”<new name you want to use>” -on_agent

For example:-

emcli modify_target -name=”orcl” -type=”oracle_database” -display_name=”orcltest” -


on_agent

After the change, the database will show up with the new name in Cloud Control.

The targets.xml will show:-

<Target TYPE=”oracle_database” NAME=”orcl” DISPLAY_NAME=”orcltest” ON_HOST=””


EMD_URL=”https://earth.com:6872/emd/main/&#8221; TIMEZONE_REGION=””
IDENTIFIER=”TARGET_GUID= FDB08ADAGEASDRYESDHDRCF “>

Refer the Option 1
