"OEM" == "Oracle Enterprise Manager" -- duh. I was thinking the other meaning of OEM.

memory fades. I don't remember how I did that anymore. Maybe we folded Oratcl into the OEM agent???

As you'll read in that article, the agent didn't work all that well, at first, and it was a particularly hellish time to be a manager.

Thanks to a Saturday afternoon, the awesome Wayback machine, and already got my hike in. See pages 2 and 44: https://docs.oracle.com/pdf/A85251_01.pdf

There's also a 'ps' listing on page 50, with a user id 'aholser', if that rings any bells.

I haven't used Oracle since about 1998, and never Oracle's Enterprise Manager or whatever agent, so no idea how well it worked. I'll read your article.

122 pages, huh? tl;dr

by 2000, my colleague Dimitris Nakos had cleaned it up, probably. I don't know who 'aholser' might be.
