I have an Oracle 9.2.0.1 database and OEM running on Windows. I have configured OEM to do a complete database backup and run it as a job. What do I need to do so I get an email when the job is finished and if there are errors or not?
You need to set up notifications for that job. This entails two steps. First, you need to define how your administrators will get notified. The instructions for that can be found in the following Oracle document:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/em.920/a96670/ch_conso.htm#6736
Second, you need to tell the job to notify someone of the error. In OEM, you will need to modify the Administrator Preferences. Click the Access tab and check the Notify box for those administrators that you want to receive the notifications.
