Those days, when trying to install EM 13c on my ExaCC database, the installation was failing with a “Check the db edition – DB should be enterprise edition”<\/strong> error..<\/p>\n

Searching on My Oracle Support for this error, the closest I could find was “Bug 29492182 : Installing OMS fails: Check the db edition DB should be enterprise edition”<\/strong>. However there was no patch associated with that bug.<\/p>\n

Apparently, there was a check for “Enterprise Edition<\/strong><\/span>” string running on my database that could not match with the “Enterprise Edition Extreme Performance”<\/strong> version I had.<\/p>\n

So, first I tried to search for any pre-patch file.. note I had to run the installation with the “SHOW_PROXY=true” as the machine had no access to the internet:<\/p>\n

[oracle@ocosoemprdap01 install]$ .\/em13400_linux64.bin -J-Djava.io.tmpdir=\/u01\/app\/tmp\/ SHOW_PROXY=true<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Looking on the temporary installation folder, I noted that the following patch was downloaded:<\/p>\n
Patch 31205199: Support EE Extreme Performance and EE Extreme High Performance DB editions as an OMR for EM Install<\/strong><\/p>\n
And checking on patch README.txt:<\/p>\n
Oracle Management Service 13c Release 4 (13.4.0.0.0)\r\nPatch for Bug# 31205199\r\n\r\nReleased: April 21, 2020\r\n\r\nBugs Fixed\r\n----------\r\n31205199 - Support EE Extreme Performance and EE Extreme High Performance DB editions as an OMR for EM Install.\r\n\r\nThis patch should not be applied manually. It is intended to be applied as auto download patch during Install or Upgrade.<\/pre>\n
So there is also this Bug 31205199 which seems to be the same issue. This should<\/span> only be applied with the auto-download feature. However you can also apply it manually and that’s what I did, as I was having some issues with the auto-download.<\/p>\n
So first I installed the EM 13c with the “Software Only” option.<\/p>\n
Then I applied the patch on the installed Middleware Home:<\/p>\n
