“Updated” EM Desktop Widgets released
Oracle just relased the 1.1.0 version of EM widgets.
This build has few new features (including the much-requested option to customize database targets in the High-Load Databases widget) and a number of bug fixes.
As always, you can leave bug reports/feature requests through the feedback form attached with each widget.

A word of caution to all you folks about uptake on the PSU1 patchset
A word of caution to all you folks about uptake on the PSU1 patchset, if you intend to use your GC 10.2.0.5 to monitor and manage 11gR2 databases using the recently released 11.2 DB support patch (8825226) please be aware that PSU1 and this patches conflict so you can’t have both on your GC 10.2.0.5 simultaneously for the time being.
Support/Dev are working on releasing a version of the 11.2 DB support bundle that will sit on top of 10.2.0.5 + PSU1 but for the moment that is not available.
Based on a comment of Andrew Bulloch (Oracle)

Installation of Patch 8864918 succesful
After upgrading to the latest OPatch version. I managed to install the PSU1 successfully.
There was however 1 issue:
After completing the opatch apply, you need to run the post_deploy_scripts.sql.
This script ends with a message saying the SYSMAN schema has one INVALID object. After querying the repository it seems that Package MGMT_JOB_PARAM_RECORD is invalid.
Metalink Note 842747.1 explains how to solve this problem.
After this all objects in the SYSMAN schema are VALID.
Please read the README.txt for instructions to install this Patch.
“Database Server Provisioning with OEM”, what a great presentation
Today I attended the presentation on “Database Server provisioning with OEM” done by my good friends Mario Lohner (Draexlmaier) and Rajat Nigam (Oracle).
These guys did a very good job and the audience was very enthusiastic. This is exactly we what we need, getting OEM GC the attention I think it needs. The guys at Draexlmaier (Mario, Robert, Heinz) just did a tremendous proof of the efficiency gain when implementing the Provisioning and automated Patching Pack. I am pretty sure this presentation motivates some OEM users that were in the room to continue their efforts to get this working at their sites.
