This chapter provides information about how to configure Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control to monitor Oracle Ultra Search for Oracle Collaboration Suite Release 1 and Release 2.
Note:
See Chapter 8, "Configuring Oracle Ultra Search Targets" for information on configuring Grid Control to manage Collaboration Suite Search components for Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Release 1This chapter contains the following sections:
Oracle Ultra Search consists of a database and a middle-tier component. As an administrator, you should create one Ultra Search target for each Ultra Search database repository. This target will collect crawling status for all Ultra Search instances.
After you install the Management Agent on the Oracle Ultra Search hosts, you can use the Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Console to create Oracle Ultra Search targets. After the targets are created, you can view the various metrics collected for each Oracle Ultra Search target.
For information on running he Oracle Ultra Search crawler, see Oracle Ultra Search User's Guide for Oracle Collaboration Suite Release 2 at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/collab.html
When you manage Ultra Search with Enterprise Manager, you create the following target types:
An Ultra Search target for each Ultra Search database repository
A Web Application for each Ultra Search target and its related targets, such as the database and hosts where the Ultra Search target exists.
An Ultra Search group target for all the Ultra Search targets in your environment, as well as the related targets for each.
To create the Oracle Ultra Search target:
Using the Grid Control Console, navigate to the home page for the Management Agent that was installed on the Oracle Ultra Search Repository Database host.
In the Monitored Targets section of the page, select Ultra Search from the Add drop-down menu.
Enterprise Manager displays the property page for the selected target type.
Provide the required information, as described in Table 17-1.
Click OK to create the target.

To monitor your Oracle Ultra Search components, you create a Web Application target. Web Application targets can be monitored for availability and performance with Application Service Level Management transactions. You can also measure the response time of pages in your Web Applications using End-User Page Performance Monitoring.
To create a Web Application target for monitoring your Oracle Ultra Search components:
Using the Grid Control Console, click the Targets tab and then click Web Applications.
Click Add.
Enterprise Manager displays the Create Web Application wizard, which guides you through the process of creating the Web Application. Click Help if you need more information about using the Wizard.
Click Submit to create the target.
Use the instructions in the online help to create some representative transactions to measure the availability and performance of the Web Application you just created.
For example, create the following transactions:
One transaction that logs in to the Ultra Search Administration tool, using the following URL:
http://<host>:<port>/ultrasearch/admin/
For example:
http://ultsrch42.acme.com:7777/ultrasearch/admin/
One transaction that performs a search using Oracle Ultra Search, using the following URL:
http://<host>:<port>/ultrasearch/query/search.jsp
For example:
http://ultsrch42.acme.com:7777/ultrasearch/query/search.jsp

Note:
Before you enable End-User Page Performance Monitoring to monitor your Oracle Collaboration Suite Web Application target, you must apply patch number 3040716 to the Oracle Application Server middle-tier instance. You can download this patch from OracleMetaLink:http://metalink.oracle.com/
After all the Oracle Ultra Search targets are configured, you can create the Oracle Ultra Search group target, which provides a single interface for monitoring multiple Oracle Ultra Search targets in your Oracle Collaboration Suite environment.
The Oracle Ultra Search group home page contains the alerts table, followed by a table of rows of component targets and columns of key metrics. There is also a Performance tab where key metrics are charted for the Oracle Ultra Search group.
To create the Oracle Ultra Search group target:
Click the Targets tab in the Grid Control.
Click Groups.
Select Group from the Add drop-down menu and click Go.
Enterprise Manager displays the Create Group wizard.
Enter a name for the Oracle Ultra Search group in the Name field.
For example, enter Ultra Search Group
.
Use the Type drop-down menu and the Move button to add the following targets to the group:
Any Ultra Search targets you created using the instructions in Section 17.2
The host targets where the Ultra Search servers reside
The Ultra Search repository database.
The application server target where the Ultra Search target resides
Use the remaining pages in the wizard to select a set of summary metrics for the group and to review your changes before you create the group.
Summary metrics appear on the Performance tab of the Oracle Ultra Search Group home page.
