This chapter includes the following topics:
This document accompanies Oracle Business Activity Monitoring and includes a summary of product components, features, system requirements, and installation instructions.
Oracle Business Activity Monitoring includes the following user interfaces:
Active Studio is a robust Web-based reporting tool acting as a thin client for power users to create reports. Reports are either real-time reports, with live data streaming and updating on screen, or point-in-time reports. Through Active Studio, power users can also share reports with other users, create alerts, and edit rules-based delivery options.
Active Viewer is the thin user interface for viewing reports. When new information is available, the user receives an e-mail message that contains a link to the information. The user clicks the link and the report is displayed in Active Viewer. Report formats include columnar reports, crosstabs, KPIs, charts, spreadsheets, and more.
Administrator is a thin client for the system administrator responsible for user management and overall server management. Through Administrator, the system administrator configures user security and Oracle Business Activity Monitoring services.
Architect is a thin client for the data designer. Through Architect, the data designer creates and manages data objects stored in the Active Data Cache (ADC) and manages transaction source processing.
Enterprise Link connects Oracle Business Activity Monitoring to information sources such as transactional applications, message queues, and database servers, and sends data to the ADC. When this connection is defined, it remains open to continuously collect real-time transactional data from the enterprise. Enterprise Link Design Studio and Enterprise Link Admin are client interfaces to Enterprise Link.
This section contains the minimum hardware required for demo and production systems. It contains the following topics:
The hardware requirements listed here are for a demo system meant for training or demonstrating features to potential customers. It will support only a handful of users and a small number of transactions.
1 CPU at 2 GHz
1 GB RAM
2 GB of available disk space for Oracle Business Activity Monitoring
The hardware requirements listed here are meant for a typical small production deployment. Your requirements may differ. For more information on scaling to a larger system, including moving components to separate machines, see the Oracle Business Activity Monitoring Sizing whitepaper on OTN.
Use the hardware requirements listed here if you plan to host the Oracle database and the Oracle Business Activity Monitoring components on a single machine.
4 CPUs at 3 GHz
16 GB RAM
2 GB of available disk space for Oracle Business Activity Monitoring. See the Oracle database documentation for Oracle database disk space and other requirements.
Use the hardware requirements listed here if you already have an Oracle database installation on a separate machine, or you plan to install the Oracle database and Oracle Business Activity Monitoring components on separate machines.
This section contains information about the software required on systems prior to installing Oracle Business Activity Monitoring components. It contains the following topics:
