# unzip ocm-Production-HP-UX-IA64.zip
#cd ccr/config
#vi ccr.properties and add the following line to disable the collection of the host IP address:

Configuring Oracle Configuration Manager in Disconnected Mode (so that it does not upload info to Oracle via the internet through the proxy server
$ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin/setupCCR -s -d

Instrument the Database for Configuration Collections. The following steps must be repeated for every database instance, including multiple instances running from the same ORACLE_HOME.

$ORACLE_HOME/ccr/admin/scripts/installCCRSQL.sh collectconfig –s

After Oracle Configuration Manager has been configured, you must run the emCCR
collect command to collect configuration data.

$ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin/emCCR collect

You can find the disconnected mode collection at the following location:
$ORACLE_HOME/ccr/hosts//state/upload/ocmconfig.jar

To upload this configuration to My Oracle Support, transfer the ocmconfig.jar to a
system that is connected to the Internet and attach it to a Service Request (SR).

Last password change date

Our databases recently went through an audit and we were asked to supply a list of all database users and the date when the last password change occurred. My first reaction was that Oracle does not keep that information, but a little research proofed that I was wrong. The information is kept in sys.user$.ptime
The following query will show when last a password was changed:

select du.username, du.profile, du.account_status, u.ptime last_pwd_change
from dba_users du, sys.user$ u
where du.username = u.name
order by 2, 4
