Oracle Application Management Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite Guide Release 12.1.0.1.0 Part Number E28715-03 | ![]() Contents | ![]() Previous | ![]() Next |
Cloud Control allows you to monitor multiple Oracle E-Business Suite systems from a single console and to drill down into Oracle Applications Manager where you can control, configure, troubleshoot, and maintain individual systems. Once you have registered your Oracle E-Business Suite systems, you can start using the features of Cloud Control for managing those systems.
When using the Oracle Application Management Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite, you will need to access Oracle E-Business Suite instances. You can set up credentials for these instances as a one-time setup step instead of entering them every time you need to access an instance. For more information on setting preferred credentials, see: Setting Oracle E-Business Suite Preferred Credentials.
Use the following steps to set up credentials:
Within Oracle Enterprise Manager, navigate to Setup > Security.
Select Preferred Credentials.
Select the Set Credentials icon to set the credentials for target types "Oracle E-Business Suite Infrastructure" and "Oracle E-Business Suite".
Set the values as needed in the resulting page.
Access the Oracle E-Business Suite Instances page by navigating to Targets menu > Oracle E-Business Suite in the Cloud Control console.
This page provides a list of the Oracle E-Business Suite systems that have been registered with Cloud Control. You can register a new system by clicking Add, and following the directions in the section Discovering Oracle E-Business Suite Systems with Cloud Control. You can remove an Oracle E-Business Suite system from Cloud Control by selecting the desired system in the table, and then clicking Remove. You can also edit the monitoring configuration of a system by selecting the desired system in the table, and then clicking Configure.
This page also provides you with links to additional features:

The Home tab for an individual Oracle E-Business Suite system can be reached by drilling down from the Oracle Applications page as described in the section above.
The Oracle Applications System home page provides an overview of the status of a single Oracle E-Business Suite system. This page is divided into the following sections:
The General section provides general status and configuration information, including:
Status - The status of the Oracle E-Business Suite system, calculated based on the availability of its member targets that contribute to its availability definition. In addition to the current status of the system, you can see the counts of member targets that fall into the status categories of Up, Down, or Other. You can drill down on a status category to view the targets that currently fall into that category.
Note: When an Oracle E-Business Suite instance is brought down on both the middle tier and the database tier, the following 3 targets will be listed with the status of Other, with metric collection errors:
Concurrent Processing Service
Internal Concurrent Manager
Workflow Service
When Enterprise Manager encounters an error during the collection of the metric "Response (Status)" for any target, it retains the error until it is cleared.
System Name - The system name that was entered when the system was registered as described in the section above.
Version - The current release level of the Oracle E-Business Suite system. The level is set at installation time, and is updated when Maintenance Packs are applied. Please note that family packs, mini-packs, and individual patches do not update this version number. The actual patch levels of individual products may be more recent than the system version.
Products Installed - This indicates the number of products that are installed in the Oracle E-Business Suite system. If the Oracle E-Business Suite Enterprise Manager interoperability patch has been applied to the managed system, then you can drill down on this value into Oracle Applications Manager, where you can view the list of products installed, and the patch levels of those individual products.
New Internal System Alerts - This metric is only available when the Oracle E-Business Suite Enterprise Manager interoperability patch has been applied to the managed system. This metric shows the number of System Alerts within Oracle Applications Manager that have a status of New. You can drill down on this number to view the details in Oracle Applications Manager. Note that these System Alerts originate from within the Oracle E-Business Suite System itself, and are complementary to the Oracle Enterprise Manager incidents discussed below. For more information on System Alerts, please see the Oracle Applications Manager online help.
Patches Applied - This metric is only available when the Oracle E-Business Suite Enterprise Manager interoperability patch has been applied to the managed system. This metric indicates the number of patches that have been applied to the system in the last 24 hours. You can drill down on this metric to view the patches in Oracle Applications Manager.
Site Level Profile Options Changed - This metric indicates the number of site level profile options that have changed on the system in the last 24 hours. You can drill down on this metric to view the site level profile options in Oracle Applications Manager. (Note: For Release 11i, this metric is available only when the Oracle E-Business Suite Enterprise Manager interoperability patch has been applied to the managed system. See My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1434392.1 for information on required patches.)
Context Files Edited - This metric is only available when the Oracle E-Business Suite Enterprise Manager interoperability patch has been applied to the managed system. This metric indicates the number of AutoConfig context files that have changed on the system in the last 24 hours. You can drill down on this metric to view the context files in Oracle Applications Manager.
Monitoring Host - The host of the agent that is monitoring the Oracle E-Business Suite system. This host was selected when the Oracle E-Business Suite system was registered as described in the section above. You can drill down on the host name to reach the Cloud Control home page for the host.
The New Internal System Alerts, Patches Applied, Site Level Profile Options Changed, and Context Files Edited metrics are based on information periodically summarized in the Oracle E-Business Suite database by the Oracle Applications Manager Dashboard Collection concurrent program. This program is controlled through the Preferences global link in Oracle Applications Manager. If this program has been disabled in the Oracle E-Business Suite system for some reason, then these metrics will not be updated.
The activity summary provides an overview of system activity for the last 24 hours including:
Form Sessions - This metric indicates the number of open Form sessions on the system at a given point in time.
Note: To enable Oracle Applications Manager and Cloud Control to collect this metric, set the profile option Sign-on: Audit Level to "Form" in the target Oracle E-Business Suite system.
Web Users (Last Hour) - This metric measures the number of distinct users to access Oracle E-Business Suite HTML pages during the previous hour.
Concurrent Requests Running - This metric indicates the number of concurrent requests running on the system at a given point in time.
Active Service Processes - The meaning of this metric differs depending on whether or not the Oracle E-Business Suite Enterprise Manager interoperability patch has been installed on the target system. If the interoperability patch has been applied, then this metric indicates the number of active application tier processes that are running under the Generic Service Management feature of Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i. This metric includes concurrent processing infrastructure processes, Workflow Mailer processes, and more. If the interoperability patch has not been applied to the target system, then this metric indicates only the number of active concurrent processing infrastructure processes on the application tier. The concurrent processing infrastructure includes concurrent managers, transaction managers, service managers, the Internal Concurrent Manager, the Conflict Resolution Manager, and the Scheduler.
Using the Service Level Management feature with Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, Oracle E-Business Suite middle tier components can be monitored for their availability and performance. The middle tier components, being the infrastructure for Oracle E-Business Suite, are monitored not only for their key processes but also for all the other components on which they are dependent.
The Oracle Applications Service is defined by the following:
Concurrent Processing Service - This service provides a summary of the availability and performance of concurrent processing within Oracle E-Business Suite.
Forms Applications Service - This service provides a summary of the availability and performance of Oracle Forms within Oracle E-Business Suite.
Self-Service Applications Service - This service provides a summary of the availability and performance of Oracle Application Framework pages within Oracle E-Business Suite.
Workflow Service - This service provides a summary of the availability and performance of Oracle Workflow within Oracle E-Business Suite.
The following table provides details of the core service/component that’s being monitored as part of the infrastructure service and also the key components on which the core service is dependent.

The Application Node Status provides a summary of the availability statuses of various components such as Forms, Applications Listener, Application Server and Database Instance. The availability status information is summarized at the node level. The host details such as host name, platform and the host status are available for each component.
The Incidents section provides an overview of any incidents posted by Oracle Enterprise Manager for targets that have become unavailable, or for metrics that have exceeded specified thresholds. The Incidents table shows incidents specifically for the Oracle E-Business Suite system target.
The Related Incidents table shows incidents for all targets that were registered as members of the Oracle E-Business Suite system but being monitored separately outside the pack.
You can drill down to view the details of an incident by clicking on the corresponding name in the Metric column. You can drill down to the related target's home page by drilling down on the Target Name. To define a metric threshold for incidents, click the Edit Metric Thresholds link under Related Links at the bottom of the page. For more information on metrics and incidents, please refer to the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control documentation.
The Oracle Applications System Performance tab consolidates key usage and performance indicators for the system in general, and for each tier of the system. You can change views using the View list. Four views are provided:
Activity
Applications Server
Database
All
Each view provides a set of charts. You can control the period of time depicted by the charts using the View Data list.
The Oracle Applications System view provides an overview of key system-wide metrics. This view contains the following three charts:
Concurrent Requests - This chart depicts the concurrent request load on the system. The chart shows the numbers of Pending Normal, Pending Standby, and Running concurrent requests at each point in time.
User Sessions - This chart depicts the end user activity on the system. The chart shows the number of Oracle Forms sessions active at each point in time. Also, the chart shows the count of users who have accessed the HTML-based applications over hourly intervals.
Workflow Items - This chart depicts the messaging activity in Oracle Workflow's Business Event System. The chart shows the count of messages by status for each period of time.
The Applications Server view shows key middle tier usage and performance metrics for the Oracle Applications system. This view provides the following three charts:
HTTP Server: Requests/Second - This chart depicts the throughput of the HTTP Server at each point in time. Multiple HTTP servers are represented by different lines in this graph.
Hosts: CPU Utilization - This chart depicts the CPU utilization on each Applications Tier host. Multiple hosts are shown as different lines in this graph.
Hosts: Memory Utilization - This chart depicts the memory utilization on each Applications Tier host. Multiple hosts are shown as different lines in this graph.
The Database tier view shows usage and performance metrics for the Oracle Applications system database and its hosts. This view provides the following three charts:
Sessions - This chart breaks down the database session usage. The data points include the total count of database sessions, the count of active sessions using CPU, the count of active sessions waiting on I/O, and the count of active sessions waiting on other resources.
Throughput - This chart provides two indicators of database throughput: the number of transactions per second and the number of logins per second.
Database Hosts: CPU Utilization - This chart depicts the CPU utilization on each database tier host. Multiple hosts are shown as different lines in this graph.
The JVM usage summary can be accessed from the Performance tab using the link under the heading Forms/Web.
The JVM usage information is available across all the multiple nodes. The following metrics are collected as part of the JVM Usage:
Application Module pool - Provides information about all the active and leaked Application Modules.
Locked AOLJ Connections - Provides information about all the locked and leaked AOL/J connections utilized by applications.
Cache Components - Provides information about the cache component utilization by Oracle Application Framework.
For Release 12 systems, in order to enable collection of the data for Application Modules, AOL/J Connection, and Cache Components columns, please ensure that you have set up the monitoring configuration for each "oacore" OC4J target as follows:
For each "oacore" OC4J target click on the name link. The oacore OC4J targets are named in <context_name>.<hostname>_oacore format and are parent targets of each JVM target.
On the home page of the oacore OC4J target, click on "Monitoring Configuration" link under the Related Links section.
Enter the OC4J administrator username and password for the "oacore" OC4J in the "Username for Basic authorization" the "Password for Basic authorization" fields respectively. Please refer to the note below to determine the values for these fields.
Click on OK to save the information.
Note: The OC4J administrator username by default is "oc4jadmin" and is specified in the system-jazn-data.xml file under the $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/oacore/config directory. The oc4jadmin password by default is set to a randomized value during installation and will need to be reset as in the following example:
In the $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/oacore/config/system-jazn-data.xml file, set the value of the "credentials" element for oc4jadmin user to your chosen password preceded by a ! character. For example:
<user>
<name>oc4jadmin</name>
<display-name>OC4J Administrator</display-name>
<description>OC4J Administrator</description>
<credentials>[new password]</credentials>
</user>
After saving system-jazn-data.xml restart the oacore OC4J. This will encrypt the updated password in system-jazn-data.xml.
For both Release 11i and Release 12, ensure that the Application Server passwords are set as well, because Oracle Enterprise Manager expects these passwords to be set for metrics collection for the JVM targets.

Links are provided to open the associated Oracle E-Business Suite instance in a separate window and open up the Oracle Diagnostics pages in Oracle E-Business Suite.
The User Monitoring tab enables you to link a database session to an Oracle E-Business Suite user session. In this way you can link a performance issue in a database session to activity done by that Oracle E-Business Suite user. The User Monitoring feature checks three entities: Concurrent Programs requests, Forms sessions, and Oracle Application Framework sessions to see if it can find a match for the database session ID.
Note: If the database session is triggered by something else, this system will not be able to capture it. This is a limitation.
User Monitoring requires additional setup steps. On the OMS side:
Set the preferred credentials of "Oracle E-Business Suite" target type for the Oracle E-Business Suite user name and password.
Additional setup steps required on the Oracle E-Business Suite side are:
For the above Oracle E-Business Suite user, assign "LCM_EM_CLIENT" responsibility.
Form sessions can be monitored only when the site-level profile Sign-On:Audit Level is set to 'FORM'. The internal name for this profile is 'SIGNONAUDIT:LEVEL'.
You can run diagnostic tests on your system for user monitoring. These tests can be accessed from the Diagnostics dashboard, available from the Pack Diagnostics link on the Oracle Applications page. For more information on running diagnostic tests, see: Running Pack Diagnostics Tests.
The following tables list tests for user monitoring.
Step | Test Group | Description | Notes/Expected Results/Corrective Measures |
---|---|---|---|
EBS | CheckIOPatches for <Release> | Verify that certain patches have been applied on the Oracle E-Business Suite target. | Note that this step may change, depending on the Oracle E-Business Suite release (for example, Release 11i, 12.0, and so on). The list of patches is contained in an XML file that might be modified to include or exclude recommended patches. |
EBS | CheckRESTHealth | Checks if "Rest Ping" is working properly. Rest Ping is a Ping Service, called using REST framework. The Ping Service tries to ping Oracle E-Business Suite instance and this should return a “SUCCESS”. User monitoring is heavily dependent on this framework. | If the test fails, normally it gives the message why it failed. Refer to the emoms.log for additional information. |
EBS | Summary | A summary of all of the diagnostic tests that have been executed, in the following groups: Successful, Failed, With Warning, Aborted, and Total. |
Step | Test Group | Description | Notes/Expected Results/Corrective Measures |
---|---|---|---|
EBS | CheckEBSProfile | Check if the Oracle E-Business Suite profile is properly set. User Monitoring functionality displays a user's form related activities. To show this information, a user's system profile code “SIGNONAUDIT:LEVEL” must be set to FORM. This checks if the profile value is set to FORM. | Verify that the credentials supplied are valid for the "E-Business Suite Applications Login" username/password, found in the in "E-Business Suite" Target Type in Preferred Credentials. Verify that the user specified in the "E-Business Suite Applications Login" section has their "SIGNONAUDIT:LEVEL" profile set to "FORM". |
EBS | CheckEBSRole | Verify if the EM User (that is, the user executing the diagnostic test) has the required responsibility to execute User Monitoring Functionality. The responsibility is LCM_EM_CLIENT, and must be attached to the Oracle E-Business Suite user in the Oracle E-Business Suite Applications Login Preferred Credentials. | Verify that the credentials supplied are valid for the "E-Business Suite Applications Login" username/password, found in the in "E-Business Suite" Target Type in Preferred Credentials. Verify that the user specified in the "E-Business Suite Applications Login" section has been assigned the "LCM_EM_CLIENT" responsibility. |
EBS | CheckEBSGlobalCred | Check Oracle E-Business Suite preferred credentials This test verifies if the "E-Business Suite Applications Login" username and password exists and, if so, are valid for a particular instance. | Verify that the credentials supplied are valid for the "E-Business Suite Applications Login" username/password, found in the in "E-Business Suite" Target Type in Preferred Credentials. |
EBS | Summary | A summary of all of the diagnostic tests that have been executed, in the following groups: Successful, Failed, With Warning, Aborted, and Total. |
Navigate to the User Monitoring dashboard from the Oracle E-Business Suite instance's User Monitoring subtab.
The dashboard has four bar charts of database sessions (triggered by APPS user only)
Top waiting sessions; that is, sessions waiting for a database event to trigger to proceed further
Top running SQL statements
Top CPU consuming sessions
Top memory intense sessions
The level of detail shown in the bar graphs is controlled by properties set in the Preferences page:
Sampling Interval for User Monitoring
Number of Rows in tables of User Monitoring
You can drill down from the legend to see the details of the session. If the Oracle E-Business Suite user information is available, the Oracle E-Business Suite session details will be shown with further drilldown to the database session details. If the Oracle E-Business Suite user information is not available, you can drill down to the database session details. The charts are derived by monitoring session history for the last 15 minutes. This interval is configurable by setting the value for Sampling Interval for User Monitoring in the Preferences page. The maximum value allowed is 60. You can navigate to the Preferences page from the main Oracle E-Business Suite Instances page, under Related Links.
Note: If you make changes to the Preferences settings, , the changes will take at least fifteen (15) minutes to take effect. If you want the changes to take effect immediately, restart the OMS.
You can search for Oracle E-Business Suite user sessions from the User Monitoring subtab.
The link to this search feature is available in the dashboard itself.
Using DB Session ID - Provide the database session ID and if a match is found with a concurrent program, form or OA page, the details will be shown with a drilldown facility to the database session details.
Using Oracle E-Business Suite user name - This search shows all the active concurrent programs, Forms, and Oracle Application Framework pages used by the user. It will also show the associated database session ID with drilldown capability.
The Configuration Topology page for Oracle E-Business Suite lists the dependencies between the infrastructure services, the key system components, and other services that define their availability. Upon service failure, the potential causes of failure, as identified by Root Cause Analysis, are highlighted in the topology view. In the Topology tab, you can view dependent relationships between services and systems.
Navigate to the Topology page from the Target menu > Configuration > Topology.
The Configuration Topology page shows the infrastructure service Topology view of the Oracle E-Business Suite system. The icons represent each service and the lines connecting them show their dependencies. This view allows administrators to identify the root cause of a problem much more quickly compared to a tabular representation of the same information.
See the Oracle Enterprise Management Lifecycle Management Administrator's Guide for more information on the Configuration Topology Viewer.
