This preface describes the purpose and organization of the Oracle Enterprise Manager Application Developer's Guide. It also illustrates the conventions used in this guide. The preface contains the following information:
This guide presents a general overview of developing applications
that integrate into Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEMGR). It also discusses
common services and using Tcl and OraTcl to write job and event scripts.
This guide is written for software developers who wish to integrate their
applications into Oracle Enterprise Manager.
Information in this guide applies to Oracle Enterprise Manager
running on the Windows NT 32 Bit platforms.
This guide assumes you are familiar with the Oracle Enterprise
Manager and the administration tasks that you can perform with Enterprise
Manager components. If you are not, refer to the Oracle Enterprise Manager
documentation set for a description of the tasks that you can perform
with Enterprise Manager tools. In addition, this guide assumes you are
familiar with the Oracle database server. For information about the Oracle
database, see the Oracle server documentation set for specific and
thorough descriptions of the database administration tasks and recommendations
on how to administer your database optimally.
This guide also assumes that you are familiar with the operation
of Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft's Object Linking and Embedding (OLE)
technology, the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) and the Microsoft Visual
C++ language. Please refer to the appropriate Microsoft documentation,
if necessary.
Throughout this book there are references to source code
files where you can find examples of the functionality that is being discussed.
The code examples are included in the Enterprise Manager Software Developer's
Kit (SDK) installation option that is available with the Oracle Enterprise
Manager release. For information about installing Oracle Enterprise Manager
components, see the Oracle Enterprise Manager installation and configuration
documentation.
The installed code samples are installed in subdirectories
of the ORACLE_HOME\SYSMAN\SDK directory. Microsoft Visual C++ makefiles
have been included with the code, allowing you to build and debug the application
yourself. You may need to make minor modifications to the makefiles to
successfully build the sample application. See the SDK readme file in the
ORACLE_HOME\SYSMAN\SDK directory for information on how to modify the makefiles
and install the application after it is built.
