Re-installation of GC repository keeping software tree intact

Some days ago I trashed my 10.2 database when testing conversion of database character sets. This database held the repository of my Grid Control.

So now I had a nice installation of the 10.2.0.1 GC software, with patches to 10.2.0.4, all intact, but no repository. (and no backup :-) I figured that I could re-create the repository, just as easy as it is with Database Control using emca, as that script was present in the oms home, but oh no. Googling and searching Metalink did not give any hints, so finally I gave up at read the documentation, and finally, it was quite easy:

[oracle@localhost oms10g]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/admin/emdrep/bin
[oracle@localhost bin]$ ./RepManager localhost 1521 ORCL -sys_password WAS_CHANGED_ON_INSTALL -action create

<.... much output about many strange items like Forms etc (!) ....>

Done.
Repository Creation Successful.

But when going to website, it complained about emkey not being configured correctly, or that it might be corrupted.

[oracle@localhost bin]$ emctl status emkey

Please enter repository password:
The Em Key exists in the Management Repository, but is not configured properly or is corrupted in the file system.
Configure the Em Key by running "emctl config emkey -repos".

[oracle@localhost bin]$ emctl config emkey -repos

Please enter repository password:
The Em Key has been configured successfully.


TADA.... The website now works. But the targets are gone, and my agent does no upload.

[oracle@localhost agent10g]$ emctl upload agent

EMD upload error: uploadXMLFiles skipped :: OMS version not checked yet..

Seems reasonable as I used secure OMS and agent, so:

[oracle@localhost agent10g]$ emctl clearstate agent
[oracle@localhost agent10g]$ emctl secure agent

That's it!
