Oracle Intelligent Agent Executable encountered

How to solve Oracle Intelligent Agent Executable encountered

We have this error from Oracle 9i, and actually this is not a major issue, So you can avoid it. You may see this if you have changed hostname or IP of the database server.

Oracle Intelligent agent is a service, that is used to communicate between EM (enterprise manager ) and database.And if you are not using EM for databases than you can avoid it. While you have changed the IP or hostname, Oracle was up and running and agent tries shake hands between EM and Database but the communication channel was broken for that particular time. So you have this notification.

So for the solution, you can do one of the following :-

 1) If you are not using EM than You can disable the agent service from services.msc
                            Administrative Tasks>Services
2) Delete all files that end with q under below path and restart the agent on the line (found on internet) :-
                         $ORACLE_HOME/network/agent/ *q

 For me. I used solution 1 because we are not using EM for our databases.
