Monitoring Business Performance Metrics for a Product Family
Viewing the Routing Topology of an Oracle Fusion Applications Instance, Product Family, or Product
Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Applications Control (Fusion Applications Control) is a tool used to monitor Oracle Fusion Applications product families and products deployed to Oracle WebLogic Server. Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (Cloud Control) is a tool used in much the same way, but viewing Oracle Fusion Applications product families and products within the larger context of Oracle Fusion Middleware.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Applications Control provides a large picture view of your deployments, while also allowing you to drill down for more detailed information. You can monitor the status of the servers to which product families are deployed and the databases that store product information, the status of all scheduled job requests running in the system, as well as the overall state and performance of product families and products. The customizable performance summary pages allow you to monitor product performance and diagnose problems. You can modify these charts to display statistics that are relevant to your deployment, or add an additional product to the chart so as to compare the performance information for two components in one chart.
Using a topographical chart, you can examine the relationship between a deployed product family and its products, and drill down to view the status of individual product instances. Out-of-the-box performance metrics provided for each Oracle Fusion Applications product allow detailed monitoring of the state and performance of all product families and each individual product.
The product family home page provides an overview of the products belonging to a product family. An example of a product family home page is shown in Figure 9-1.
The Product Family home page displays the following sections:
The Applications and Infrastructure section displays the status of the database, deployed Oracle Fusion Applications and Oracle Fusion Middleware itself. The Fusion Applications and Fusion Middleware pie charts display the percentage of Oracle Fusion Applications and Oracle Fusion Middleware servers that are currently up or down. The number of applications and servers that are running or down is shown below each pie chart.
The Key Performance Indicators section displays the main performance metrics related to the product family or product. By default, these metrics display in graphical format. Alternatively, you can display the performance metrics in tabular format instead. Mousing over a particular metric causes the performance graph to display only the data for that metric.
You can add or remove metrics from the Key Performance Indicators section. You can also change the order in which metrics display. For more information about monitoring business metrics for a product family or product, see Section 9.10
The Topology section displays the components of the product family or product. In the Product home page, the Topology section displays the same information, with the irrelevant products and Java EE applications grayed out.
The Product Family home page Topology section is shown in Figure 9-2.
The Product home page Topology section is shown in Figure 9-3.
Mousing over a component under the Oracle Fusion Applications heading highlights the related product under the Product heading, and vice versa. In the Product Family home page, clicking a product in the Topology section displays the Product home page for that product. Clicking the name of the Oracle Fusion Applications product family in the Topology section displays the Oracle Fusion application instances running on servers in the application cluster. The Fusion Cluster Application home page displays, as shown in Figure 9-4.
For more information about viewing topology information, see Section 10.2.3.1
The Oracle Enterprise Scheduler sections display information pertaining to scheduled jobs running in relation to the product or product family. The Oracle Enterprise Scheduler sections are as follows.
Top Long Running Job Requests: This section displays information about the top ten long running scheduled job requests, including request ID, job definition used, the product and time elapsed since the job executed.
Recently Completed Job Requests (Last 24 Hours): This section displays information about the most recent scheduled jobs completed within the last 24 hours, including job definition used, the product, the number of completed and failed requests, the percentage of successfully completed job requests and the time elapsed from execution.
Ready Job Requests: This section displays the scheduled job requests that are awaiting execution, including the job definition used, the product and the number of jobs that are ready to run.
For more information about this section, see the online help.
The Recently Completed SOA Composite Requests (Last 24 Hours) section displays information about the most recent SOA composite execution requests completed within the last 24 hours, including the name of the SOA composite, the name of the partition to which the composite is deployed, the number of completed instances, the percentage of successfully completed instances and the response time in milliseconds for synchronously executed SOA composites.
The product home page provides an overview of the Oracle Fusion Applications required to run a given product. An example of a product home page is shown in Figure 9-5.
The Oracle Fusion Applications Product Home page displays the following sections:
The Oracle Fusion Applications section displays the Oracle Fusion Applications that are part of the product and have been installed. Each application may include instances running on other servers in the domain.
For more information about this section, see the online help.
The Servers section displays the names of the domain, clusters and servers running the Oracle Fusion Application. The table listing the clusters and servers displays the status of each item, indicating whether they are up or down. Additionally, the table displays other data such as the number of sessions currently active, the number of requests received per minute and the time required to process a request.
For more information about this section, see the online help.
