How to Use This Manual

The Oracle Enterprise Manager Messages Manual and other Oracle Enterprise Manager Documentation have been designed to be used closely with the Oracle Server documentation set. While the Oracle Enterprise Manager documentation set teaches you how to use Oracle Enterprise Manager to perform database administration tasks, the Oracle Server documentation set describes the reasons for and the implications of performing these tasks. Consequently, you should refer to the Oracle Server documentation set while using Oracle Enterprise Manager to perform your administrative tasks.

Conventions Used in This Manual

In addition to the listed messages in this manual, you will find the following conventions used:

Keywords are words that have special meanings. In the syntax diagrams in this manual, keywords appear in uppercase. When following a diagram, keywords must be used in the same case as they appear in the syntax diagram.

Parameters act as place holders in syntax diagrams, and appear in lowercase. Parameters are usually schema objects, Oracle datatypes, or expressions.
