Setup and maintenance of notifications has changed considerably in Cloud Control 12c compared to previous versions of Grid Control. There are several areas to consider when configuring and diagnosing notification issues.
Make sure the SMTP server is registered in the "Setup > Notifications > Notification Methods" screen.
Check the "Setup > Incidents > Incident Rules" screen. Make sure the relevant incident rules are enabled. Create any new rules you need.
Subscribe to any rules you want to be notified about. To do this, highlight the rule, then do "Actions > Email > Subscribe Me".
Make sure your email is setup in the "Enterprise Manager Password & Email" screen, from the menu below your username on the top right of the screen.
The following is an overview of the process for applying the 12.1.0.7 plugin patch to Cloud Control 12c (12.1.0.4).
Backup up everything! Database and file system.
Setup > Extensibility > Self Update
Download the latest versions of the plugins. The minimum you can really get away with is "Oracle Database 12.1.0.7", "Oracle Cloud Framework 12.1.0.2" and "Oracle Fusion Middleware 12.1.0.7". The Cloud Framework plugin is a dependency for the FWM plugin. Obviously, grab the extra plugins if you need them.
Setup > Extensibility > Plugins
Do a "Deploy On > Management Server" for the plugins you’ve downloaded. These require OMS downtime, so you will be monitoring progress using "./emctl status oms -details" from the "$OMS_HOME/bin" directory.
Wait until it is all running again.
Do a "Deploy On > Management Agent" for the DB and FMW plugins on just the cloud control server. I wanted to know it was all fine on this server before pushing out the updates to the agents on the monitored hosts.
Convince yourself nothing weird is happening.
Do a "Deploy On > Management Agent" for the DB plugin on any monitored database severs. Where possible I did Dev environments in one pass. Test environments in a second pass, then Prod environments.
Do a "Deploy On > Management Agent" for the FMW plugin on any monitored WebLogic severs. Once again, Dev, Test, Prod.
