This chapter provides information you need to get started administering your Oracle Fusion Applications environment, including information about the tools you use.
Prior to using the administrative procedures in this chapter and the rest of this guide, ensure the Oracle Fusion Applications environment is provisioned, as described in the Oracle Fusion Applications Installation Guide.
This chapter contains the following topics:
Introduction to the Tools Used to Administer Oracle Fusion Applications
Key Differences Between Fusion Applications Control and Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control
Finding the Administration Server Port and Other Administrative URLs for Domains
Using Database Tools to Modify Oracle Fusion Applications Data
Oracle provides several tools to administer the Oracle Fusion Applications, the Oracle Fusion Middleware layer, and the Oracle Database within your Oracle Fusion Applications installations. Use these tools, rather than directly editing configuration files, to perform all administrative tasks unless a specific procedure requires you to edit a file. Editing a file may cause the settings to be inconsistent and generate problems.
The primary administration tools for Oracle Fusion Applications are described in Table 2-1.
Table 2-1 Administration Tools for Oracle Fusion Applications
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
|
Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Applications Control (Fusion Applications Control) |
Enables you to monitor and administer a product family within the Oracle Fusion Applications environment. See Section 2.5. |
|
Oracle Fusion Functional Setup Manager |
Guides you through the tasks of setting up the functional data and reference data. See Section 2.5. |
|
Oracle Fusion Applications Diagnostic Dashboard |
Enables you to register, execute, and monitor diagnostic tests for Oracle Fusion Applications, and also work with diagnostic test registration tags and purge diagnostic test results. See Chapter 13. |
The primary administration tools for Oracle Fusion Middleware are described in Table 2-2.
Table 2-2 Administration Tools for Oracle Fusion Middleware
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
|
Fusion Applications Control |
Enables you to monitor and administer Oracle Fusion Middleware components within an Oracle WebLogic Server domain for a specific product family within the Oracle Fusion Applications environment. See Section 2.5. Fusion Applications Control also includes a System MBean Browser that enables you browse the MBeans for an Oracle WebLogic Server or for a selected application. See "Getting Started Using the Fusion Middleware Control MBean Browsers" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide. |
|
Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control (Grid Control) |
Enables you to monitor historical data for Oracle Fusion Middleware components across all Oracle WebLogic Servers for the Oracle Fusion Applications environment. See Section 2.2 to understand the key difference between Grid Control and Fusion Applications Control, and see Section 2.7 to get started with using Grid Control. |
|
Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console |
Enables you to manage the Oracle WebLogic Server in each domain. See Section 2.3 to understand the when to use Administration Console, and see Section 2.7 to get started with using the Administration Console. |
|
Oracle Fusion Middleware command-line tools |
Enables you to manage Oracle Fusion Middleware components. See "Getting Started Using Command Line Tools" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide to learn about the Oracle Weblogic Scripting Tool (WLST) and the Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server (OPMN). |
|
Middleware support for application security |
The Oracle Fusion Applications environment includes the following tools for managing application security:
For an overview and information about Fusion security as it is relevant specifically to Oracle Fusion Applications, including details about how to interact with the Fusion Security infrastructure to implement and administer security for your enterprise, see the Oracle Fusion Applications Security Guide. |
The primary administration tools for the Oracle Database are described in Table 2-3.
Table 2-3 Administration Tools for the Oracle Database
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
|
Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control |
Enables you to monitor and manage the Oracle Database for the Oracle Fusion Applications. See the Oracle Database 2 Day DBA. |
|
Grid Control |
Enables you to monitor historical data for the Oracle Database. See Section 2.7. |
You can manage your Oracle Fusion Middleware environment using Fusion Applications Control or Grid Control.
Fusion Applications Control organizes a wide variety of performance data and administrative functions into distinct, Web-based home pages for the farm, cluster, domain, servers, components, and applications. The Fusion Applications Control home pages make it easy to locate the most important monitoring data and the most commonly used administrative functions all from your Web browser. Fusion Applications Control is automatically installed with each Oracle WebLogic Server domain for each product family during an Oracle Fusion Applications installation. For more information about this control, see Section 2.5.
Managing several farms from different, distinct Fusion Applications Controls becomes very difficult in an Oracle Fusion Applications environment. For centralized management and additional management functionality (such as historical data collections for performance trending, email and page notifications for potential availability or performance problems, and service level management), you can use Grid Control.
Grid Control enables you to monitor the Oracle database and Oracle Fusion Middleware components across the entire Oracle Fusion Applications environment. To use Grid Control, you need to separately install Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Grid Control with the Application Management Pack for Oracle Fusion Applications. For more information about this control, see Section 2.7. For more information about installing Grid Control, see the Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Basic Installation Guide.
Fusion Applications Control and Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console are graphical user interfaces that you can use to monitor and administer your environment. Use Table 2-4 to locate the task you are performing.

Fusion Applications Control is a Web browser-based, graphical user interface that you can use to monitor a product family and its products. It also enables you to monitor and administer Oracle Fusion Applications and an Oracle Fusion Middleware farm.
A farm is a collection of components managed by Fusion Applications Control. It can contain an Oracle WebLogic Server domain, one Administration Server, one or more Managed Servers, clusters, and the Oracle Fusion Middleware components that are installed, configured, and running in the domain.
Fusion Applications Control organizes a wide variety of performance data and administrative functions into distinct, Web-based home pages for the product family, products, Oracle Fusion Applications, farm, domain, servers, and Oracle Fusion Middleware components. The Fusion Applications Control home pages make it easy to locate the most important monitoring data and the most commonly used administrative functions for various targets—all from your Web browser.
The section contains the following topics:
Understanding How Fusion Applications Control Compares with Fusion Middleware Control
Navigating to the Product Family and Product Administration Pages
Understanding Users and Roles for Fusion Applications Control
For information about the System MBean Browser, see the "Getting Started Using the Fusion Middleware Control MBean Browsers" section in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.
If you have worked with Oracle Fusion Middleware, then you may already be familiar with Fusion Middleware Control. Fusion Middleware Control enables you to monitor and administer a farm. Fusion Applications Control provides all the functionality available in Fusion Middleware Control plus functionality specific to Oracle Fusion Applications.
Many procedures throughout this guide reference content in Oracle Fusion Middleware guides, which describes using Fusion Middleware Control. Where these references occur, the same procedures also apply to Fusion Applications Control. Where the controls vary, the procedures for Fusion Applications Control are contained within this guide.
To display Fusion Applications Control for a given Oracle WebLogic Server domain:
Enter the URL in your Web browser:
http://product_familyinternal.domain:port/em
where product_familyinternal.domain. port is the host and domain of the Oracle HTTP Server or a Load Balancer.
During provisioning of Oracle Fusion Applications, on the Summary page of the Provisioning Wizard, when you clicked Finish, you saved the plan and the summary in a text document that summarizes the details of this plan. For more information about using the Provisioning Wizard, see "Creating a Provisioning Plan" in the Oracle Fusion Applications Installation Guide.

Fusion Applications Control automatically and continuously measures run-time performance. The performance metrics are automatically enabled; you do not need to set options or perform any extra configuration to collect them.
If you encounter a problem, such as an application that is running slowly or is hanging, you can view more detailed performance information, including performance metrics for a particular target, to find out more information about the problem. In many cases, these metrics are shown in interactive charts; other times they are presented in tabular format. The best way to use and correlate the performance metrics is from the Performance Summary page for the component or application you are monitoring.
To view the performance of a target with Fusion Applications Control:
From the menu for a specific target, choose Performance Summary. If the target is a product family or product, choose Key Performance Indicators to view business metrics or System Performance to view middle tier metrics.
The Performance Summary page displays.
To see additional metrics, click Show Metric Palette and expand the metric categories.
The following figure shows the System Performance page for a product family with the Metric Palette displayed:
Select additional metrics to add them to the Performance Summary.
To re-organize the display of performance charts in the System Performance page, select View > Reorder Chart Sets and move charts up or down, or remove a particular chart from the page.
To overlay another target, click Overlay, and select the target. The target is added to the charts, so that you can view the performance of more than one target at a time, comparing their performance.
Alternatively, you can display historical business metrics of the same product instance. Select Overlay > Today with Yesterday, This Week with Last Week or This Month with Last Month.
To customize the time frame shown by the charts, you can:
Click Slider to display a slider tool that lets you specify that more or less time is shown in the charts. For example, to show the past 10 minutes, instead of the past 15 minutes, slide the left slider control to the right until it displays the last 10 minutes.
Click the Enter Time clock icon. Then, enter the Start Time and End Time., and click OK. If there is no data available in earlier time point, a confirmation message displays, explaining the timeline will be automatically adjusted to the time period for which the data is available.
To save the chart set so as to preserve a specific set of metrics selected for display, as opposed to the default metrics, select View > Save Chart Set and enter a name for the chart set to be saved.
Use the Fusion Applications Control online help to obtain a definition of a specific performance metric. There are two ways to access this information:
Browse or search for the metric in the Fusion Applications Control online help.
Navigate to the Performance Summary page for your component or application and perform the following:
Click Show Metric Palette.
Browse the list of metrics available for the component or application to locate a specific metric.
Right-click the name of the metric and select Help from the context menu.
To access Fusion Applications Control and perform tasks, you must have the appropriate role. Fusion Applications Control uses the Oracle WebLogic Server security realm and the roles defined in that realm. If a user is not granted one of these roles, the user cannot access Fusion Applications Control.
Each role defines the type of access a user has. For example, a user with the role Admin has full privileges. A user with the role Operator has privileges to perform essential day-to-day operations. A user with the role Monitor has privileges only to view the configuration.
For more information, see "Users, Groups, and Security Roles" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Securing Resources Using Roles and Policies for Oracle WebLogic Server.
Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console is a Web browser-based, graphical user interface that you use to manage an Oracle WebLogic Server domain.
While Fusion Applications Control is the primary administrative interface, use Administration Console as specified by Table 2-4 and wherever recommended in procedures in this guide.
The section contains the following topics:
To display Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console for a given Oracle WebLogic Server domain:
Enter the URL in your Web browser:
http://product_familyinternal.domain:port/em
where product_familyinternal.domain. port is the host and domain of the Oracle HTTP Server or a Load Balancer.
During provisioning of Oracle Fusion Applications, on the Summary page of the Provisioning Wizard, when you clicked Finish, you saved the plan and the summary in a text document that summarizes the details of this plan. For more information about using the Provisioning Wizard, see "Creating a Provisioning Plan" in the Oracle Fusion Applications Installation Guide.

The home page displays, as shown in the following figure:
Alternatively, you can access the Administration Console from Fusion Applications Control, from the home pages of targets such as the Administration Server or Managed Servers.
Before you make configuration changes, lock the domain configuration, so you can make changes to the configuration while preventing other accounts from making changes during your edit session. To lock the domain configuration:
Locate the Change Center in the upper left of the Administration Console screen.
Click Lock & Edit to lock the configuration edit hierarchy for the domain.
As you make configuration changes using the Administration Console, you click Save (or in some cases Finish) on the appropriate pages. This does not cause the changes to take effect immediately. The changes take effect when you click Activate Changes in the Change Center. At that point, the configuration changes are distributed to each of the servers in the domain. If the changes are acceptable to each of the servers, then they take effect. If any server cannot accept a change, then all of the changes are rolled back from all of the servers in the domain. The changes are left in a pending state; you can then either edit the pending changes to resolve the problem or revert to the previous configuration.
Grid Control enables you to monitor runtime and historical data for the Oracle database and the Oracle Fusion Middleware components across the entire Oracle Fusion Applications environment.
For an overview of Grid Control, see the "Overview of Enterprise Manager Grid Control" chapter in Oracle Enterprise Manager Concepts.
The section contains the following topics:
For specific uses of Grid Control with an Oracle Fusion Applications environment, see the following sections:

Oracle Fusion Functional Setup Manager guides you through the tasks of setting up the functional data and reference data after installation and helps you move the setup data from one environment to another (such as from the development environment to the production environment).
To access the administrative area of Oracle Fusion Functional Setup Manager:
Sign in to Oracle Fusion Applications with a user account that is provisioned with the necessary role. Contact your security administrator for details.
From the Administration menu in the work area of Oracle Fusion Applications, choose Setup and Maintenance.
Do not use SQL*Plus, Oracle Data Browser, database triggers, or any other tool to modify Oracle Fusion Applications data unless otherwise instructed.
Oracle provides powerful tools you can use to create, store, change, retrieve, and maintain information in an Oracle database. But if you use Oracle tools such as SQL*Plus to modify Oracle Fusion Applications data, you risk destroying the integrity of your data and you lose the ability to audit changes to your data.
Because Oracle Fusion Applications tables are interrelated, any change you make using an Oracle Fusion Applications form can update many tables at once. But when you modify Oracle Fusion Applications data using anything other than Oracle Fusion Applications, you may change a row in one table without making corresponding changes in related tables.
If your tables get out of synchronization with each other, you risk retrieving erroneous information and you risk unpredictable results throughout Oracle Fusion Applications.
When you use Oracle Fusion Applications to modify your data, Oracle Fusion Applications automatically checks that your changes are valid. Oracle Fusion Applicationsalso keeps track of who changes information. If you enter information into database tables using database tools, you may store invalid information. You also lose the ability to track who has changed your information because SQL*Plus and other database tools do not keep a record of changes.
