five keys for performance management of oracle forms and e-business suite
DESCRIPTION
Today's APM tools do not provide sufficient capabilities to perform real end user monitoring of Oracle applications. While these tools can track basic performance data, most solutions do not cover the entire Oracle E-Business Suite technology stack and it can be challenging to acquire the in-depth visibility needed to properly manage your application's performance. Join us for a webinar where we will showcase solutions for application support engineers, application owners, QA engineers, Oracle Forms developers and EBS Integrators. Topics include how to: Isolate problems before end users experience them Gain visibility into the potential source of bottlenecks in Oracle components Reduce the risk and overall time to rollout for new applications, Oracle Forms migrations and EBS upgrades Analyze stress tests to identify, isolate and resolve scalability issues before rolling out to production Monitor your end user experience with both real-time and historical performance metrics Speakers: Mia Urman, CEO of OraPlayer Ltd. and Frank Days, VP of Marketing, CorrelsenseTRANSCRIPT

THE MONITORING CHALLENGE
![Page 10: Five Keys for Performance Management of Oracle Forms and E-Business Suite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547959f9b4af9ff3268b4658/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Forms Complex Multi-Tier Architecture
• Need to identify single sessions across all tiers• Hard to effectively identify the degrading element
![Page 11: Five Keys for Performance Management of Oracle Forms and E-Business Suite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547959f9b4af9ff3268b4658/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Users Can Rarely Describe Problems
• “It’s not working”, “It’s slow”, “It’s stuck”• What did the user do when the problem occurred? • Which component is causing the problem?
![Page 12: Five Keys for Performance Management of Oracle Forms and E-Business Suite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547959f9b4af9ff3268b4658/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
System Migrations/Upgrades are Complex• Finding problems before move to production• Proving that performance has not degraded• Getting to the root cause of the problem fast?

Forms Users Unique Needs
• Out of the box, easy solution– No need to code or do manual mapping
• Real-end user monitoring – Get business context logs - Form item names and labels
– Complete, real-time end-user experience
• Prevent problems and resolve them fast – Get notifications/alerts of problems before users report them
– Allow system managers to determine and improve SLA
– Identify problems and reduce time to solutions
• Reduce risk in monitoring / upgrade projects – Obtain monitoring data without a performance penalty
– Analyze stress tests across all components before rolling out

THE FIVE KEYS
![Page 15: Five Keys for Performance Management of Oracle Forms and E-Business Suite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547959f9b4af9ff3268b4658/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
1. Track All Requests Through All Hops• Track all user requests through all components (not just
Java and .Net)
• Track and meter single end user across entire stack
• Apache, OC4J, Forms Runtime and Oracle Database

OC4JForms Runtime
Specific SQLs

2. Manage User Experience with Meaningful Transaction Names
![Page 17: Five Keys for Performance Management of Oracle Forms and E-Business Suite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547959f9b4af9ff3268b4658/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3. Understand How Components Interact
• Auto-detected• Real-time• Without manual modeling
![Page 18: Five Keys for Performance Management of Oracle Forms and E-Business Suite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547959f9b4af9ff3268b4658/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
4. Use Performance Analytics
• Isolate problems in a click• Optimize bottlenecks• Manage rollouts / migrations

5. Keep Your Stakeholders Aware
• Regular performance reports

MONITORING FORMS APPLICATIONS
![Page 21: Five Keys for Performance Management of Oracle Forms and E-Business Suite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547959f9b4af9ff3268b4658/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Limitations of Existing Solutions
• Java/.Net – no support for Forms runtime processes
• No end-user experience - neglect client-side layer
• Require manual mapping or customized code
• Don’t track user session and requests across all tiers
• Overhead:
-Affect server performance
-threaten server instability
• Lack of transaction-aware analytics
• Incoherent information, relying on monitoring logs
