Management Pack Access
One of the major objections customers often have to implementing Oracle Enterprise Manager is the perceived
cost involved. This is despite the fact that Enterprise Manager itself is a completely free product. The product does,
however, expose in an easy-to-use fashion premium functionality that is licensed by target. This functionality is
contained in management packs. Because the GUI makes it simple for administrators to access functionality for
which they are not licensed, one of the tasks you should perform fairly shortly after implementation is to configure
management pack access for your targets. This is done from the Cloud Control menu.
To begin the process, choose Management Packs from the Setup menu. Its submenu has four options, shown
in Figure
4-26
.

The Management Pack Access option allows you to enable—or more important, disable—premium functionality
for which you haven't paid and are therefore not entitled to use. Figure

shows the screen that displays the options.
