Resolution
Yes. If oracle permissions change accounts which may affect the NetIQ AppManager UNIX agent, a restart of the UNIX agent is required ("nqmdaemon stop ; nqmdaemon start").
A restart of the agent is required for the Oracle MO to recognize changes such as Oracle passwords and permissions.
Additional Information
According to the NetIQ AppManager 6.0.2 UNIX Components Release Notes:
The UNIX agent has been updated so that if you restart the UNIX agent, UNIX Knowledge Scripts that require authentication information (such as an Oracle password) continue to run properly.
Additional notes:
If the port number(s) that your listener process(es) are listening on change after AppManager for Oracle UNIX/Linux is installed, you must reinstall the module on the UNIX host so that the application can acknowledge these changes.
