Finishing the Oracle SCX Management Pack for OpsMgr Cross-Platform Agents

I am in the process of putting the finishing touches on the Oracle SCX Management Pack that I have described in several recent posts (part 1, part 2,  part 3, part 4) and will soon be moving on to finishing the documentation for the management pack.  This post is intended to provide a preview of the finished MP and highlight the monitoring implemented by this MP.   I intend to make this management pack freely available in the near future, but I would like to get some more testing done before posting it for download.   In the meantime, if anyone is interested in testing this management pack, please leave a comment or contact me and I will be glad to provide an early beta version.  

While completing this management pack has taken me longer than I had anticipated, this authoring process has been a great learning experience for me in an area a bit outside of my comfort zone.  I also like to think that this management pack is a good representation of just how flexible the OpsMgr SCX extensions are in that I was able to implement all of the discovery and monitoring in the management pack using the basic SCX agent CIM providers without any additional scripts or compiled code on the agents.
