Metric evaluation error start – Get dynamic property error,Dynamic Category property error,Computation of a critical dynamic property failed. Retries Completed.

Hi all,
Getting this error? OMS 12.1.0.3?
Ok… After an investigation on MOS and also a SR opened with Oracle is was pointed to relation with Bug 17575631 CLUSTER DB HOME PAGE ERRORS- REGIONS FETCH REAL TIME DATA WILL NOT BE DISPLAYED on Database Plugin.
It’s solved in OMS 12.1.0.4 and also in 12.1.0.5.1 EM Database Plugin Bundle patch.

 I’ll show you how to workaround it. 🙂

Before, I’d recommend you reading those MOS Documents:
EM 12c: Enterprise Manager 12.1.0.3 Cloud Control Metric Collection Error: Metric Evaluation – Error Start – Dynamic Category Property Error (Doc ID 1594696.1)
EM 12c: Targets Are Showing Pending Status After Discovery (Doc ID 1617162.1)
Database instance target status at ‘Metric Collection Error’ in Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12.1.0.2 (Doc ID 1519711.1)

Ok, but how can I workaround this error for a while?
Hmmm!

You can clear the error by:
– Stop and start the agent
– List targets on the host
– Reload dynamic proeprties for problematic target from above list

Example of Error from OEM:
