Symptoms

Agent upload to OMS fails with:

The 'emctl status agent' command shows a backlog of files waiting to be uploaded and may not have any value for the 'OMS Version' field.

Cause

The REPOSITORY_URL parameter mentioned in /sysman/config/emd.properties file has incorrect value for the OMS hostname and upload port.

Often, the current value of the REPOSITORY_URL is the one that it defaults to during installation - the http://agentmachine.domain:4889/em/upload - this is incorrect, the REPOSITORY_URL should be omsmachine.domain:4889/em/upload.

Solution

Tto identify the correct hostname and upload port details for the REPOSITORY_URL parameter, use the steps in Document 358953.1: What ports are used in communication between the Grid Control OMS and a Management Agent?

Once, the hostname and upload port for the OMS are correctly identified follow the below steps on the Agent:

- Stop the agent

cd /bin
emctl stop agent

- Take a backup of the /sysman/config/emd.properties

- Edit the emd.properties file and correct the REPOSITORY_URL parameter to have the correct hostname and port value, on which the OMS is configured.

- Delete the /sysman/emd/lastupld.xml file.

- Start the agent

cd /bin
emctl start agent

- If the OMS is secured and locked (accepts uploads only in the https mode), then secure the Agent also. Refer:
Document 428874.1: How to tell if the EM OMS is locked or unlocked?
Document 283091.1: How To Secure / Unsecure The Grid Control Components (Agent / OMS) In 10g

- Check the agent upload:

cd /BIN
emctl upload

This should work fine now.
