2 Understanding Oracle TSAM Plus

Oracle Tuxedo is widely used by enterprises that develop and use mission-critical applications. It acts as the infrastructure layer in distributed computing environments. The complexity of Oracle Tuxedo and the applications running on top of it make performance measurement extremely complex.

Oracle TSAM Plus provides comprehensive monitoring and reporting for Oracle Tuxedo system and applications. Oracle TSAM Plus monitors the major performance sensitive areas of a Tuxedo-supported enterprise computing environment. It can be used to monitor real-time performance bottlenecks and business data fluctuations, determine service models, and provide notification when pre-defined thresholds are violated. It includes three components: Oracle TSAM Plus Agent, Oracle TSAM Plus Manager, and Enterprise Manager for Oracle Tuxedo.

The Oracle TSAM Plus agent enables collection of various applications performance metrics (including call path, transactions, services, system servers). The Oracle TSAM Plus Manager provides a graphical user interface that correlates and aggregates performance metrics collected from one or more Tuxedo domains. It displays this information in interactive real-time. The Enterprise Manager for Oracle Tuxedo integrates Tuxedo management and monitoring with Oracle Enterprise Manager, allowing Tuxedo infrastructure and applications to be monitored and managed from the same console as other Oracle products.
