This chapter describes the Oracle Communications Order and Service Management (OSM) Order Metrics Manager feature, which allows you to extract metric data from your OSM system and view that data using a variety of tools.
OSM provides an Order Metrics Manager API that collects metric data about your system. A set of XML files, called ADML files, contain the metric rules that allows Order Metrics Manager to aggregate the metric data.
ADML files are automatically loaded to the correct directory when you run the installer. If the ADML files are not loaded correctly, you can load them manually. For more information, see the topic about manually loading metric rules files in OSM Installation Guide.
You can access ADML files in order to see the metrics that Order Metrics Manager is collecting. For OSM and other Oracle products and product suites, ADML files are located in the following directory:
MW_home/oracle_common/modules/oracle.dms_12.1.3/adml
where MW_home is the location where the Oracle Middleware product is installed.
Note:
ADML files are the technical implementation of the API, therefore you cannot customize these files. You can, however, create your own custom ADML files. For information about creating ADML files, see Oracle Fusion Middleware documentation.The Oracle Application Management Pack plug-in that is available with Oracle Enterprise Manager provides a graphical view of metrics data. For more information about viewing metrics data using the Application Management Pack interface, see OSM System Administrator's Guide and Oracle Application Management Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite User's Guide.
There are a number of other tools that you can use to view and retrieve or dump the metric data that Order Metrics Manager extracts from your OSM system. You can use the following:
Oracle Dynamic Monitoring Service (DMS) Spy servlet
WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST)
Java Management Extensions (JMX)
Oracle Fusion Middleware Console
Oracle Enterprise Manager
The DMS interface is provided with your OSM installation and displays metric data in sets of tables. A set of DMS tables displays OSM metric data, and a set of aggregated tables displays OSM metrics that are defined based on existing metrics.
The DMS interface can also display sets of tables for WebLogic and JMX metrics, and for non-J2EE metrics, which are about remote processes from the Oracle HTTP server. For more information about viewing metrics data using the DMS interface, see OSM System Administrator's Guide.
For more information about DMS and using the other tools that are listed in this section to view metric data, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Performance and Tuning Guide.
