In-Depth Information
The third step in the wizard is skipped because we are not using any custom properties. In step 4, the Oracle
Enterprise Manager schedules the deployment of the software. You can schedule the deployment to happen
immediately (which is the default) or at a later time. Additionally, you can specify whether notifications should be
used to indicate any issues or concerns, or to indicate when it succeeds. If there is nothing to change on this page,
click Next.
The final step in the provisioning of a database is step 5, the Review step (see Figure
6-76
). From here you can see
all the options that you configured and submit the job.

Reviewing options for provisioning the Oracle database (partial screen)
After submitting the job, you will be taken to the Provisioning page, where you can monitor the job. This page is
loaded with a lot of valuable information. You can either stay on this page or move away and work on something else
while the database is provisioned.
Summary
EM12c is a valuable tool for patching and provisioning within your environment. To be flexible and provide a lot of
options, Oracle Enterprise Manager relies on the Software Library to be the central storage location for software such
as patches, and to install software and gold images. Patching and provisioning are two valuable options within the
lifecycle of Enterprise Manager. The options enable administrators to quickly patch old environments and provision
new environments very quickly and securely.
