Re: Upgrade OEM 13.2 to latest version
Hello @User_E4DOJ .
The minimum version supported for upgrading to EM 13.5 is 13.3. If the OMS is at 12.1.0.x, 13.1 or 13.2, it is mandatory that it is first upgraded to 13.3.0.0.0 or 13.4.0.0.0. Please check the respective checklists and upgrade guides for the version you are upgrading to.
It will be a 2 step process in your case.
Step 1 ) Upgrade from 13.2 to 13.3/13.4

Re: About Oracle Created Accounts
But, remember above, my question was: which of those users are actually no longer in use ?
When you create the database, you can install additional components that may not be used / required. First thing would be to install just what you need rather than just clicking next next next :-).
If there are components that are not used, and you want to remove them, here is a guide by Mike Dietrich explaining how to do that

Re: About Oracle Created Accounts
In fact, there should be documentation about each account. Oracle does not need to detail each account, they can say: "account for internal usage, may be locked or not but do NOT remove it".
They kinda do...run this:
select * From dba_users where oracle_maintained='Y';
Any user with Y in this column should not be dropped or otherwise modified unless you know exactly what you are doing. Most will be locked. But some may be unlocked like SYS, SYSTEM, and DBSNMP.
Option to "Mark as Read" without having to open the item
At the moment the only way to mark an item as read is to open it and close it again. I work in a small localization and much of the content published is not applicable to me. It would be great if there was a "Mark as Read" function available so that I do not have to open and close all items. I use the bold titles to let me know whether I have read an item or not. This is to make sure I do not miss something. So the ability to "Mark as Read" that would work in the same way as the "Dismiss" function does would be great.
