This is an important subject area, and I felt a special need to pass on my best wishes. Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c is Oracle's integrated enterprise IT management product to manage an organization's entire IT infrastructure, from applications to Disk IT management, from a single console. With an increasing number of databases across the organization, signicance of Oracle Enterprise Manager as a tool for effectively managing and optimizing resources is immense. This book has a very good style; on one hand, it has all the contents for a patient learner and on the other hand, for an impatient "go-getter" there are ready "recipes" in hand to get started on specic tasks. This book uncovers various installation options—with simple conguration and with advanced options. It also covers various upgrade options. This book includes recipes on monitoring the infrastructure using the "Action Session History Analytics" and "Real Time ADDM" monitoring report. There are recipes for creating and cloning databases and creating templates. The key differentiator for this book is it covers the integration of Oracle Fusion Middleware Data Integration products such as Oracle Business Intelligence, Oracle GoldenGate, Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher, and Oracle WebLogic using OEM 12c. Last but not the least, the book covers recipes on Incident and Problem Management using iPhone or iPad. In a nutshell, this is an excellent book that can be utilized to learn the usage of OEM 12c, as well as to get specic "tips" through various "recipes", and is a must read book!

Vipul Patel has been working in the IT industry for the past 20 years, and in the past 12 years mainly in the Telecommunications industry. He started with a brief brush with Oracle 5 and Oracle Forms. He has been involved with the complete software delivery lifecycle to the present day as a DBA for a critical business application. The drive as an individual and philosopher is to be a proactive manager, to capture problems early to prevent them from impacting the system and the users of the system, and to stop them during testing cycles, to prevent the performance issue from reaching production. He was involved in all aspects of management of infrastructure, from commissioning to monitoring while in service, so he moved from the early days of writing bespoke scripts to having a single GUI with OEM. Vipul is one of the award winners of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Innovation Award for 2011 presented at Oracle Open World 2011 in US. He is also a member of the Oracle Customer Advisory Board for Data Integration Products. To relax and get away from one form of technology to another, Vipul is an avid follower of F1 motor racing, spending weekends away in a eld in Silverstone. www.it-ebooks.info About the Reviewers Gokhan Atil is an independent consultant who has been working in the IT industry since 2000.
