The following sections in this chapter describe the licensed features for these products.

Application Management Suite for Siebel

This product offers comprehensive application management capabilities that help IT organizations simplify the administration and monitoring of their Siebel Enterprise environments. By building Siebel management and monitoring on top of Oracle's rich and comprehensive management solution, the Oracle Application Management Suite for Siebel significantly reduces the cost and complexity of managing Siebel environments.

The Application Management Suite for Siebel is comprised of the following four physical components:

  • Siebel Plug-in (built into Enterprise Manager 11g Grid Control)

  • Real User Experience Insight (RUEI)

  • Application Configuration Console (ACC)

  • Configuration Change Console (CCC)

The management suite contains a restricted use license of RUEI, ACC, and CCC for use against the core Siebel application. The management suite also includes a restricted use license of Siebel Test Automation (STA) for running synthetic transaction monitoring scripts. The STA license does not cover the use of test automation tools to carry out functional nor load tests against the Siebel application.

Siebel Diagnostic Tool, a standalone utility released with the Siebel Media Pack since Siebel 8.0, is licensed as part of Oracle Application Management Suite for Siebel. All features and capabilities of this tool require the Oracle Application Management Suite for Siebel license.

The following sections discuss the licensed features and links for the Application Management Suite for Siebel as well as the Service Level Management and Configuration Management licensed features and links within this product.

Real User Monitoring

Application Management Suite for Siebel's Real User Monitoring provides an out-of-the-box real-user monitoring solution for Siebel applications that automatically discovers Siebel applications and translates network objects to business functions, thereby allowing measurement and monitoring of real-user transactions — from clicks to views into business transactions.

Each individual user action is automatically matched to the correct screen, applet, or view to provide contextual analyses. This state-of-the-art monitoring solution captures and reports all functional errors, discovers end-user performance issues, and discovers Siebel application issues. Application managers can set up Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and report views of interest of their critical packaged applications.

All the capabilities for Oracle Real User Experience Insight as documented in Chapter 8, "User Experience Management" are available as part of the Application Management Suite for Siebel license. However, the restricted license for Real User Experience Insight only allows RUEI to be used for monitoring Siebel applications developed using the Siebel Smart Client (HI - High Interactivity), Standard Interactivity (SI), or ADF framework for Siebel self-service applications. Customers who want to use Real User Experience Insight to monitor other applications need to obtain a full use license of the product.

Features

  • Provides an out-of-the-box real-user monitoring solution for Siebel applications.

  • Provides out-of-box translation and reporting of error messages in the user's window.

  • Enables application managers to set up KPIs for critical packaged applications.

  • Enables specification and monitoring of real-user business transactions.
