Server Manager is an important part of your toolkit for managing an Oracle database and it's worth learning well.

Using the new Oracle 10g Enterprise Manager (OEM) interface, the Oracle professional can now get access to external information that has never before been available in a single interface. This is important because it removes the need for the DBA to have any experience with the cumbersome OS command syntax that is required to display server-side information.
