3 Oracle Middleware Enterprise Management

This chapter describes the licensed features and links about the management packs offered by Enterprise Manager in support of Oracle Middleware Enterprise Management:

3.1 WebLogic Server Management Pack Enterprise Edition

The WebLogic Server Management Pack Enterprise Edition offers a solution for managing Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle WebLogic Server, Oracle GlassFish Server, and Oracle Application Server. This pack provides capabilities that span the solution areas of application performance management, administration, business transaction management, service level management and lifecycle management that span many of these products and components.

Note:

All Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control 13c, Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control 11g and Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control functionality is included with each edition of Oracle Fusion Middleware. The links and areas that require the WebLogic Server Management Pack Enterprise Edition are outside of Fusion Middleware Control and Application Server Control.

3.2 SOA Management Pack Enterprise Edition

This pack delivers comprehensive management and modeling capabilities for a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)-based environment. By combining SOA run-time governance, business-IT alignment, model-driven metrics, and SOA infrastructure management with Oracle's system management solution, Enterprise Manager Cloud Control significantly reduces the cost and complexity of managing SOA-based environments.

The following table describes this management pack offered by Enterprise Manager:

Management Pack Type of Licensing Information Licensing Information
SOA Management Pack EE Supported Cloud Control SOA Targets This pack supports the following Cloud Control SOA targets:

  • Business Process Execution Language (BPEL)

  • Oracle SOA Suite Infrastructure Cluster

  • Oracle SOA Suite SOA Composites

  • Scheduling Service (ESS)
SOA Management Pack EE Cloud Control SOA Target Features The SOA Management Pack Enterprise Edition Cloud Control targets include the following features:

  • Adapter metrics provide throughput and error metrics for different adapters in graphical format.

  • Application dependency and performance provide a model-driven, top-down approach within development, quality assurance (QA), staging, and production environments.

  • Blackouts suspend monitoring on targets to support scheduled maintenance periods.

  • Business-IT alignment provides integration for business KPIs and system metrics in one system for correlation and trending.

  • Centralized management console to monitor and manage all enterprise components from a central location.

  • Change Activity Plans provide the ability to plan, track in real time, and execute data-centerwide change activities. Activities include: PSU patch rollouts, database consolidation to Exadata, and so on.

  • Configuration management information collection for the BPEL Process Manager server/domains/processes and Oracle Service Bus.

  • Deployment automation of BPEL suitcases, OSB resources, OSB Domains, SOA artifacts, SOA domains, and SOA composites.

  • Discovery and service modeling of Oracle BPEL processes, Oracle Service Bus-based business and proxy services. Provide automated system modeling capabilities for the SOA infrastructure.

  • End-to-end transaction tracing across distributed application components, and monitor and measure performance characteristics of each component.

  • Historical analysis and reporting of collected metric and configuration data in a central repository.

  • Infrastructure management to monitor availability and performance of SOA infrastructure components.

  • Management Connectors for help desk (ticketing) systems to open help desk tickets for incidents raised in Enterprise Manager. Event connectors share event information with other management systems.

  • Metric and Alert/Event History

  • Metric Extensions to create new metrics to monitor conditions specific to customer environments.

  • Monitoring Templates encapsulate target monitoring settings and can later be applied against many targets.

  • Template Collections (with administration groups) automate the deployment of management settings on targets as they join the group.

  • Notifications to define and use different notification methods including e-mail, running custom OS scripts, PL/SQL procedures and SNMP traps; repeat notifications, use of notification-related actions in incident rule sets, administrator notification schedules.

  • Run-time governance do define SOAP tests to measure and record availability and performance of partner links (or any Web service) and business/proxy services for historical trending, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis purposes

  • Service level management to monitor services from the end-user's perspective using service tests or synthetic transactions, model relationships between services and underlying IT components, and report on achieved service levels

3.4 Management Pack for Oracle Coherence

The Management Pack for Oracle Coherence provides comprehensive monitoring, cluster management, cache management and configuration management capabilities for Coherence. This pack provides complete cluster visibility by supplying detailed metrics of various cluster artifacts and their interdependencies. The performance views can be completely customized and saved. The topology view gives graphical representation of dependencies of the components and performance hotspots. Enterprises can monitor more than one Coherence cluster from a single console. Organizations can keep track of node configuration over time and also change run-time configuration parameters for caches and nodes.

Enterprise Manager provides out-of-box support for metric alerts, enabling users to proactively monitor the cluster health. Various performance charts show real-time and historical performance trends. The cache data management features gives ability to perform several operations on any cache in the Coherence cluster (for example, view, import, export, purge, add index, remove index, and so on). Enterprise Manager automates the mundane tasks of setting up Coherence software and creating a cluster on distributed machines. Enterprise Manager also enables users to start and stop new nodes in an already monitored Coherence cluster. Similarly, users can also start and stop the entire cluster. User can monitor the node log files by setting patterns. Enterprise Manager generates alert when the patterns are found matching.
