6 Monitoring Oracle Enterprise Scheduler

This chapter describes how you can monitor performance of Oracle Enterprise Scheduler job requests and server instances. You can also get component status and log information.

This chapter includes the following topics:

6.1 Overview of Monitoring Oracle Enterprise Scheduler

Much of the monitoring you'll do is related to job requests, where Oracle Enterprise Scheduler work is done. You can get a snapshot of recent work done as job requests, including the load those requests are placing on the system. You can also view the status of current and pending requests.

For an Oracle Enterprise Scheduler instance, you can find out how it is performing currently and how it has performed historically.

You can get the status of a service instance, as well as service components such as the request dispatcher and processor.

Finally, you can get log information about job requests and Oracle Enterprise Scheduler.

Use Fusion Middleware Control to do most of the monitoring you'll need. It's user interface provides data about system performance in both graphical and tabular form.

6.2 Monitoring Oracle Enterprise Scheduler Request Activity

You can monitor job requests using Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control Console. On the console's Scheduling Service Home page, you can get the following information:

6.2.1 Viewing Top Ten Long Running Requests and Top Ten Ready Requests

In the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control Console, the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler home page displays two important categories of information: data about the top ten long running scheduled jobs and data about the top ten job requests awaiting execution. These are displayed on separate tabs.

By default, only the job requests within the current scheduling service display. However, you can change the scope such that all relevant scheduled jobs running on all scheduling services sharing the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler repository display in the tabs.

Each of the tabs includes a table that displays a short list of job requests. The Show All Ready or Show All Running link at the bottom of the region displays a search page in which it is possible to search for a more comprehensive list of relevant job requests.

Each tab displays the following information about scheduled job requests:

  • Request ID: The ID associated with the job request.

  • Run Time/Wait Time: The period of time during which the job request has been running or awaiting execution, respectively.

  • Job Definition: The job definition associated with the job request.

  • Submitted by: The name of the user who submitted the job request.

  • Application: The name of the application with which the job request is associated.

  • Execution Type: The category of job being executed—Java, SQL or process job.

  • Description: An optional description of the scheduled job request.

This section contains the following topics:

6.2.1.1 Viewing Top Ten Long Running Oracle Enterprise Scheduler Requests

The Top Ten Long Running Requests tab displays the top ten long running scheduled job requests, including request ID, job run time, job definition used, executing application, job execution type and description. You can set the scope of the top ten long running requests displayed to the current scheduling service only, or all scheduling services sharing the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler repository.

Use the Top Ten Long Running Job Requests tab to view the job requests that have been running for the longest period of time on the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler service. You can alternatively change the scope of the region to display the top ten long running job requests on all scheduling services sharing the same repository.

The job requests displayed will all have a status of RUNNING.

To view the top ten long running requests:

  1. From the navigation pane, expand the Scheduling Services folder and select the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler application.

  2. At the top of the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler home page, click the Top 10 Long Running Requests tab to display the ten job requests that have been running the longest.

  3. To display all running job requests, click Show All Running at the bottom of the chart. This displays a search form that searches for all requests that are currently running. Click Search to display the requests.

6.2.1.2 Viewing Top Ten Oracle Enterprise Scheduler Jobs Ready to Be Executed

The Top Ten Ready Job Requests tab displays the top ten scheduled job requests that await execution. The tab displays the same information as the Top Ten Long Running Requests tab, except the wait time displays for each job rather than the run time.

Use the Top Ten Ready Job Requests tab to view the job requests that are awaiting execution on the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler. You can also change the scope of the region to display the top ten ready job requests on all scheduling services sharing the same repository.

The job requests displayed will all have a status of READY.

To view the top ten ready job requests:

  1. From the navigation pane, expand the Scheduling Services folder and select the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler application.

  2. At the top of the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler page, click the Top 10 Ready Requests tab to display the ten job requests with the status READY.

  3. To display all ready job requests, click Show All Ready at the bottom of the chart. This displays a search form that searches for all requests with the status READY. Click Search to display the requests.

6.2.2 Viewing Completed Job Requests

You can view the status of completed job requests on the Scheduling Service home page of the Fusion Middleware Control. There, in the Completed Job Requests region, each completion status is shown as a percentage of the total of job requests completed in the last hour. Status shown includes Success, Warning, Error, and Cancelled.

6.2.3 Viewing Job Request Response and Load

You can view the information about the processing load that has been required to complete job requests on the Scheduling Service home page of the Fusion Middleware Control. In the Response and Load region, you can view performance monitoring statistics regarding the time required to process to job requests.

Table 6-1 describes the performance monitoring statistics in the Response and Load region.

    • Middleware Home: The location of the Oracle Fusion Middleware directory.

    • Domain Home: The full path of the domain.

    • Host: The URI of the hosting server.

6.6 Viewing Scheduler Component Status

You can view status for components of Oracle Enterprise Scheduler. On the Scheduling Service home page of Fusion Middleware Control, the Scheduler Components region displays status for the job request processor and dispatcher. The region displays the status (such as whether it's started or stopped) of each component, the name of the server to which it is deployed, and whether or not the component is enabled. You can start and stop each component there.

6.7 Managing Logging for Oracle Enterprise Scheduler

You can search for and view log data for individual job requests, as well as set log levels for Oracle Enterprise Scheduler. You can also save job request logs to a file, and trace job requests for additional troubleshooting information.

This section contains the following topics:

Note:

The Oracle WebLogic Server logger (logging.xml) only shows logs written by Oracle Enterprise Scheduler job running in Oracle WebLogic Server. Once Oracle Enterprise Scheduler transfers control of running PL/SQL to the PL/SQL process, PL/SQL job logging data is not written to the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler logs as they run in a separate process.

6.7.1 Viewing Log Information for the Domain

You can use the Fusion Middleware Control to view log messages for the domain on which Oracle Enterprise Scheduler is deployed.

To view domain logs:

  • From the Scheduling Service menu, select Logs > View Log Messages.

For more information, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.

6.7.2 Viewing Job Request Logs

You can view the log for a particular job request from the Request Details pane.

Note:

On Windows, request log output is formatted as a single line without line breaks.

To view job request logs:

  1. Search for the relevant job requests as described in Section 4.2.2.1

  2. In the table displaying the job request search results, select the job request whose log you want to view.

  3. To view job request details, click the job request ID. Alternatively, click the parent ID associated with the job request to view the details of the job set with which the job is associated.

  4. In the job request details page, select Action and then select Request Log to display log information for the job request.

6.7.3 Viewing Log Messages for Scheduled Job Requests

You can use the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler log messages page to view logging information regarding scheduled job requests.

To view log messages for scheduled job requests with Fusion Middleware Control:

  1. From the navigation pane, expand the farm, and then Scheduling Services.

  2. Select the ESSAPP application for the appropriate Managed Server.

  3. In the Scheduling Service home page, from the Scheduling Service menu, choose Logs and then select View Log Messages.

  4. Search for the relevant log messages using the Date Range, Message Types and Message fields. You can optionally add additional search fields.

  5. You can use the ECID to retrieve more information about a given job request. The Execution Context ID (ECID) is a global unique identifier of the execution of a particular request in which the originating component participates. You can use the ECID to correlate error messages from different components

  6. By default, when view the logs for a request, Fusion Middleware Control displays only messages logged in the scope of the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler cluster. If the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler application is not deployed to a cluster, Fusion Middleware Control displays the messages logged in the managed server scope. However, Oracle Enterprise Scheduler propagates the ECID associated with the job request across sub-systems such as SOA, ADF, and so on.

    To view messages logged by other sub-systems, broaden the target scope to display messages logged across the domain or farm. Click Broaden Target Scope and select the target whose log messages you want to view.

6.7.4 Setting Oracle Enterprise Scheduler Log Levels

It is possible to configure Oracle Enterprise Scheduler server logging for a Oracle WebLogic Server by modifying the logging.xml file of that Oracle WebLogic Server. By default, there is no explicit logger entry for Oracle Enterprise Scheduler. Oracle Enterprise Scheduler inherits the logging level and log handlers configured for the parent logger, typically the oracle logger or the root logger.

By default, the log messages for the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler logger can be found in the Oracle WebLogic Server diagnostic log file for that Oracle WebLogic Server. The logging.xml file is located under DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WebLogic_Server_Name, where DOMAIN_HOME is the domain home directory for the Oracle WebLogic Server domain and WebLogic_Server_Name is the name of the Oracle WebLogic Server that uses the logging.xml file.

Table 6-8 shows the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler logger names, log levels and a description for each level.

Table 6-8 Loggers and log levels for Oracle Enterprise Scheduler

  • Request Logging: Oracle Enterprise Scheduler job implementation might write business-specific job request execution log information to the job request log file. This log file is specific to each request, and is automatically enabled by default. For more information about viewing the log file for a job request, see Section 6.7.2.

For information about setting the log levels for Oracle WebLogic Server, see Section 6.7.5.

Set the log levels for the Oracle WebLogic Server running Oracle Enterprise Scheduler as described in the Oracle WebLogic Server documentation.

6.7.5 Tracing Oracle Enterprise Scheduler Jobs

Enabling tracing for Oracle Enterprise Scheduler jobs provides additional information regarding job requests, which can then be relayed to Oracle technical support to help solve any Oracle Enterprise Scheduler-related issues.

This section contains the following topics:

Before You Begin

Before enabling tracing, note that tracing log messages may produce a considerable amount of output. By default, traces go to the Oracle WebLogic Server console stdout. If the stdout is re-directed to a file, it may occupy a significant amount of disk space and possibly affect server performance.

6.8 Managing Alerts for Oracle Enterprise Scheduler in Cloud Control

Cloud Control enables you to configure, view and manage alerts for Oracle Enterprise Scheduler entities including the scheduling service itself, work assignments and job definitions. Alerts are based on performance metrics for Oracle Enterprise Scheduler. Each metric includes named objects with upper and lower thresholds indicating warning or critical states for that particular metric. For example, you can configure an alert for all job requests that have entered a state of error, such that 10 errors constitute a warning state, and 20 errors a critical state. Once you have configured alerts, you can view any existing alerts as well as any configuration changes made within a specified period of time.
