Folks, Can anyone please tell me what is this Oracle Enterpise Mangement
software and how it can be used ?  Should it be installed in a different
server or the same server where the oracle database is.

Thanks

Before you buy.

Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) is a tool for maintaining your
enterprise's Oracle databases
from one location.
It offers:
- Maintaining multiple Oracle databases
  Most CREATE/DROP/ALTER statements are possible through a standard
graphical interface.
  Mostly point and click.
- Simple alerts from all of the databases
  Unexpected database shutdowns/crashes
- Extended alerts
  Get warnings when a tablespace fills 80%, the archive log dest fills
90%, etc.
  This is part of a separate product that has to be baught separatelly.
- Run scheduled jobs
- For more possiblilities see www.oracle.com

OEM uses a separate database user to store its settings.
It is possible to create this user in an existing database,
but generally you do not want OEM to use a production database.

Also you don't want this separate database to exist on your production
server. It's just safer and there are no resource (memory, disk, cpu)
conflicts.

Due to limited resources some sites do combine these functions,
but I wouldn't recommend it.
