Oracle Database 12c

Prerequisites

Before starting this tutorial, you should:

Have installed Oracle Database 12c.

Configuring the HTTP Port

You can access Enterprise Manager Database Express using the URL that was displayed during installation. The default port used is 5011. In case you want to use a different
port, you need to configure the port using the dynamic protocol registration method. After the HTTP port is configured, you use it to access Enterprise Manager Express. In this
tutorial, you will configure Enterprise Manager Database Express to run on port 8080.

1. Open a terminal window and execute the oraenvcommand to set the environment variables.

2. Verify that the listener is started by executing the lsnrctlstatuscommand.

 3. Log in to SQL*Plus as the SYSDBAuser and verify that the DISPATCHERSparameter in the initialization parameter file includes the PROTOCOL=TCPattribute.

4. Execute the DBMS_XDB.setHTTPPortprocedure to set the HTTP port for Enterprise Manager Express.

Accessing the Database Home Page

The Database Home page is the main database management page in Enterprise Manager Database Express. To access the Database Home page, perform the following
steps:

1. In your Web browser enter the URL to access Enterprise Manager: http://database-hostname:portnumber/em. In this case, since the database is installed in
the local machine, localhost is used for database-hostname.

2. Log in to Enterprise Manager Database Express with an authorized user account such as SYSTEM. Enter the username and password in the appropriate fields. Click
 Login.

3. The Database Home page is displayed. Continue with other tutorials in the series or log out of Enterprise Manager Database Express.
