I have been working on applying latest February patches to 13cR2 oem agents recently. Once the oem agents are patched successfully, When I was checking status of the agent happen to find out Heartbeat status shows up error OMS responded illegally [ERROR- Failed to Update Target Type Metadata] in 13cR2.
[oracle@Sajidserver ~]$ emctl status agent

Solution:
1. Stop the oem agents (emctl stop agent)
2. Rollback the oem agent psu or any plugin patches applied
(opatch rollback -id 25414194)
3. Start the agents (emctl start agent)
4. Check agent status (emctl status agent)
