21 Forms

This chapter describes Oracle Forms metrics.

21.1 Forms Resource Usage

This metric measures the resources consumed by all the Forms sessions.

21.1.1 CPU Usage (%)

This metric specifies the percentage CPU usage of all the Forms sessions.

Target Version Evaluation and Collection Frequency Default Warning Threshold Default Critical Threshold Alert Text
Release 10.3.1 Every 5 Minutes 80 90 cpu.component is %value% and has crossed warning (%warning_threshold%) or critical (%critical_threshold%) threshold.

User Action

Navigate to the host Home page in the Fusion Middleware Control and review the top processes to see if you can identify which processes are consuming the most CPU. Or, navigate to the host Performance page in the Fusion Middleware Control and view the processes that are consuming the most CPU and take appropriate action.

21.1.2 Total CPU Time (millisec)

This metric specifies the total CPU Time (in millisec) consumed by all the Forms sessions.

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected.

Target Version Collection Frequency
Release 10.3.1 Every 5 Minutes

User Action

No user action required.

21.1.3 instname.value

The rest of the information in this section is only valid for this metric when it appears in either the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control or the Enterprise Manager Database Control (if applicable).

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected.

Target Version Collection Frequency
Release 10.3.1 Every 5 Minutes

User Action

No user action required.

21.1.4 Total Private Memory (KB)

This metric measures the total memory (in KB) consumed by all the Forms sessions. This is not the actual private memory on Linux but the Resident Set Size (RSS). RSS is the number of pages the process has in physical memory, minus three for administrative purposes.

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected and compared against the default thresholds.

Target Version Evaluation and Collection Frequency Default Warning Threshold Default Critical Threshold Alert Text
Release 10.3.1 Every 5 Minutes 80 90 Total Private Memory is %value%%% and has crossed warning (%warning_threshold%%%) or critical (%critical_threshold%%%) threshold.

User Action

Navigate to the host Home page in the Fusion Middleware Control and review the top processes to see if you can identify which processes are consuming the most Memory. Or, navigate to the host Performance page in the Fusion Middleware Control and view the processes that are consuming the most Memory and take appropriate action.

21.2 JVM Controllers

The JVM Controllers category provides information about all the JVM controllers.

21.2.1 JVM CPU Usage (%)

This metric specifies the percentage of CPU Usage consumed by the JVM Controller including child JVM processes.

User Action

Navigate to the host Home page in the Fusion Middleware Control and review the top processes to see if you can identify which processes are consuming the most CPU. Or, navigate to the host Performance page in the Fusion Middleware Control and view the processes that are consuming the most CPU.

21.2.2 CPU Time (millisec)

This metric specifies the CPU Time (in millisec) consumed by the JVM Controller process including child JVM processes.

21.2.3 Number of JVMs running for this JVM Controller

This metric specifies the number of JVMs running for this JVM Controller.

21.2.4 JVM Private Memory (KB)

This metric specifies the Private Memory (in KB) consumed by the JVM Controller including child JVM processes. This is not the actual private memory on Linux but the Resident Set Size (RSS). RSS is the number of pages the process has in physical memory, minus three for administrative purposes.

21.2.5 UP Time (millisec)

This metric specifies the UP Time (in millisec) of the JVM Controller.

21.3 Number Of Sessions

The number of sessions category provides information about all the sessions.

21.3.1 Number Of Sessions

This metric measures the total number of Forms sessions of all Forms application deployments deployed in various WebLogic Server instances.

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected.

Target Version Collection Frequency
Release 10.3.1 Every 5 Minutes

21.4 Response

The Response category provides information about the default Forms application deployment 'formsapp' in WebLogic Server WLS_FORMS

21.4.1 instname.value

The rest of the information in this section is only valid for this metric when it appears in either the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control or the Enterprise Manager Database Control (if applicable).

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected and compared against the default thresholds.

Target Version Evaluation and Collection Frequency Default Warning Threshold Default Critical Threshold Alert Text
Release 10.3.1 Every 1 Minute 500 1000 The Forms Listener response time is unacceptable.

21.4.2 Status

This metric shows the status of the Forms Application 'formsapp' running inside WebLogic Server WLS_FORMS. By default, this metric has a critical threshold of 0 indicating that the Forms Servlet is unreachable and therefore Forms instance is not accessible. A critical alert is generated when the metric value reaches the critical threshold value once. It is recommended that this threshold is set at the default value.

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected and compared against the default thresholds. The 'Consecutive Number of Occurrences Preceding Notification' column indicates the consecutive number of times the comparison against thresholds should hold TRUE before an alert is generated.

Target Version Evaluation and Collection Frequency Default Warning Threshold Default Critical Threshold Alert Text
All Versions Every 1 Minute Not Defined 0 The Forms instance is not accessible.

The value of this metric is obtained by measuring the availability of the Forms application.

The current value of this metric can also be seen from the Deployments table on the Forms Home Page.

User Action

Check whether the WLS_FORMS instance has been started and if so that the application formsapp.ear has been deployed successfully.

21.5 Average Servlet Response Time

Average response time (in millisec) of Forms Servlet.

21.5.1 Average Response Time (millisec)

This metric measure the average response time.

Target Version Evaluation and Collection Frequency Default Warning Threshold Default Critical Threshold Alert Text
Release 10.3.1 Every 5 Minutes 500 1000 The Forms Listener response time is unacceptable.

21.5.2 instname.value

The rest of the information in this section is only valid for this metric when it appears in either the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control or the Enterprise Manager Database Control (if applicable).

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected.

Target Version Collection Frequency
Release 10.3.1 Every 5 Minutes
