Starting and Stopping Oracle Database Control


Oracle Database provides Database Control, which is a stand-alone management console for databases that are not connected to the Grid Control framework. Each database that is managed with Database Control has a separate Database Control installation; from any one Database Control, you can manage only one database. Before using Database Control, ensure that a dbconsole process is started.

Command to start the dbconsole process:
emctl start dbconsole
Command to stop the dbconsole process:
emctl stop dbconsole
Command to view the status of the dbconsole process:
emctl status dbconsole

Note: You may need to navigate to your $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory if this directory is not in your operating system (OS) path.
Database Control uses a server-side agent process. This agent process automatically starts and stops when the dbconsole process is started or stopped.
