Oracle Enterprise Manager Application Pack for JD

Edwards EnterpriseOne

A practical use case

• Scenario: during a monthly executive meeting, a plant manager states that the ERP system was down for several hours last week. This is the first time the IT department has heard of this downtime.

• Solution: Plant manager and IT meet to define an SLA which is governed by Enterprise manager and includes:

• System response time (using EM service test) – execute transaction such as logon every 5 minutes

• System uptime (leveraging JDE E1 app pack “Uptime” and “User Sessions” metrics)

• Monthly reports that document system response and uptime

• Proactive alert when system response time exceeds 5 seconds

• Proactive alert when system is down

• Warning when User Sessions exceeds 100 concurrent users

Feature available beginning with JDE E1 Tools 8.98 Update 1

Resource Management for JDE E1

• WHAT – Enhanced JDE E1 system administration tools to provide greater insight and diagnostics for E1 call object and UBE kernel processes.

• WHY – Meet the needs of large JDE E1 customers to increase system stability and simplify the troubleshooting process.

• HOW –• Graphs allow customers to quickly identify processes

with high resource consumption and recycling allows the ability to reclaim system resources.

• New diagnostics allows developers to quickly identify root cause of resource consumption issues.

• New tools allows the JDE E1 development and QE processes to identify and resolve resource consumption defects prior to RTM.

• RESULTS –

• Reduce the time it takes to obtain the required information for problem resolution from day/weeks to minutes/hours.

• Decrease the churn between customers and Oracle support by capturing the necessary diagnostics early in the SR process.

• Increase customer satisfaction through increased system uptime, improved software quality, and reduced time to resolve application issues.

Allows developers to quickly identify root cause

• Real time snapshot of Kernel Diagnostics:• Writes information to existing log files

• Capture memory allocation for the primary causes of memory leaks: • Data-Pointers, Cache Leaks, Orphaned Database Connections

• Developers analyze logs• Looking for open caches, un-freed pointers or open DB connections.

• Follow standard process for fixing issue.

• Enables troubleshooting in production:• No impact to performance

• No extra set-up, configuration or problem replication.

• Can be used for custom code, partner developed solutions and base code.

Using the diagnostics captured by

the admin, the developer can

quickly see that a new

cache is being created

instead of reused.

UBE Data Selection and Application Query securityBusiness drivers

• Business challenge:

• A user removes or modifies the data selection criteria of a

report or interactive application upon submission.

• This causes the UBE or application to execute over a large

set of data resulting in system performance degradation

• This situation is sometimes referred to as a “wide open find”

• Solution – add security on

• Data selection screen during UBE submission

• Form header and QBE line for interactive applications,

including Data Browser

Data Selection SecurityPreventing wide open finds in UBEs

• WHAT – Capabilities to secure UBE data selection.

• WHY – For some UBEs, predefined data selection criteria is required to enforce data/business process integrity and system performance.

• HOW –• New security options in Security

Workbench.

• Security options:

• Completely lock down

• Secure user from modifying

• Secure user from deleting

• Secure user from

• RESULTS –

• Enforced data and business process integrity at user interaction layer.

• Improved system performance since users can’t submit UBEs with wide open data selection criteria.

• Consistent UBE performance.


Data Selection SecurityConfigured in Security Workbench


Data Selection SecurityEnd user experience


Example where user can not modify first data selection row, but can add new criteria

Application Query SecurityPrevent wide open finds in Interactive Applications

• Exit from Security Workbench to

set required fields by app/form• Any one field required OR

• Any one of a list of Header or QBE

fields required

• Power users can be excluded

• Configurable message to user –

can be hard error or warning

• Application specific message

Planned

Reduce Downtime for Deployments UBE Quick Deployment

Business challenge:

The deployment of update packages requires the system

administrator to schedule downtime

This process needs to lock all existing processes including

UBEs, Business Functions and Applications

Solution

Enhance the Update Package process to allow for immediate

deploy of packages that only have UBEs

Based on analysis, this will result in a 48% reduction in downtime

Transaction data integrity is enforced



Planned

Reduce Downtime for Deployments

UBE Quick Deployment

WHAT – Enhanced JDE E1 package deployment process to deploy update packages without the need to lock batch queues.

WHY – Meet the needs of JDE E1 customers with 24 x7 operations to reduce the amount of downtime required to deploy update packages.

HOW –For update packages that only contain UBEs/versions:

The UBE queues will not be locked.

The package can be deployed while UBEs are executing.

No impact to interactive users

RESULTS –

The ability to deploy UBE update packages without impacting nightly batch windows.

Increased flexibility for when UBE only packages can be deployed.

Reduce the need for downtime to deploy packages.
