Running Application Diagnostics

You can run application diagnostics, and if a diagnostics test fails, Performance Management Architect provides an automated solution or manual steps to resolve the problem.

Some tests are dependent on others. There are three test categories (listed in the order in which they run):

  1. Performance Management Architect inconsistencies

  2. Shared Services tests

  3. Hyperion product tests

If a Performance Management Architect test fails, the other dependent tests are not run and show “Not Applicable”. To run a dependent test, you should deselect the dependent tests.

Note:

You must have the EPMA Administrator security role to run application diagnostics on any Performance Management Architect application. For information on Performance Management Architect security roles, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System User and Role Security Guide.

  To diagnose application problems:

  1. In the Application Library, right-click an application and select Diagnostics.

    The Application Diagnostics dialog box shows the application name and an overall status of the testing below the application name. For example, before you run selected tests, the status is “Not Tested.” After you run the tests, the status may show “Completed With Failure” if some tests failed, “Completed With Errors” if errors occurred, or “Completed Successfully” if all tests passed.

  2. Review the tests available to run in application diagnostics. See Application Tests.

  3. Select the tests you want to run, and then click Run Selected Tests.

    Only Performance Management Architect tests are selected by default. You can use the Select All toggle to select or clear all tests.

    The status column for each test displays “Passed,” “Failed,” or “Error” for each individual test. If it is unnecessary to run the test for the application, or the application type does not support the test, the status “Not Applicable” is displayed. Deselected tests display a status of “Not Tested.”

  4. If a test fails, select the failed test to display details and choose a solution. Then, click Apply.

    For a failed test example, see Example: Test Failed—Deployed but Missing from Shared Services.

  5. Click Yes to confirm the changes.

  6. Click Close.
