29 Monitoring Oracle JCA Adapters

This chapter describes how to monitor Oracle JCA Adapters.

This chapter includes the following topics:

29.1 Monitoring Instances and Faults for an Inbound Adapter

An invocation to a service from a composite may result in an error. This error is captured as a fault in the service. You can view the details of the instances and faults of the inbound adapter in the Instances and Faults section of the Dashboard page.

29.9 Monitoring Adapter Logs

Oracle Fusion Middleware components generate log files containing messages that record all types of events, including startup and shutdown information, errors, warning messages, access information on HTTP requests, and additional information. There is only one log for all Oracle JCA Adapters, and the log is called oracle.soa.adapter.

To monitor the File adapter logs:

  1. Navigate to Composite Home > J2EE Application (menu) > Monitoring > Logs.

  2. Find the oracle.soa.adapter logger for adapters and increase verbosity.

  3. Find resulting log files.

  4. Cause an adapter to fail. For example, delete a directory that the file adapter writes to, or delete a table that the Database adapter reads from.

  5. Ensure that the resulting log files give a good indication of the cause of failure.

For information about configuring logs, see Section 3.4, "Configuring Log Files."
