The Concurrent Processing Dashboard

Introduction

The Concurrent Processing Dashboard provides you with details in concurrent processing in your Oracle E-Business Suite system. The dashboard gives you a complete picture of concurrent processing on your system, both current activities as well as usage statistics.

The Concurrent Processing Dashboard is available from the Performance tab of the main page for an Oracle E-Business Suite instance, under Concurrent Processing.

You can add a user-defined concurrent program as a target to the Oracle E-Business Suite composite target. You can then monitor related activities of the registered individual concurrent programs for your own specified thresholds.

You can also add a user-defined concurrent manager as a target to the Oracle E-Business Suite composite target. You can then monitor related activities of the registered individual concurrent managers for your own specified thresholds.

In addition to the features described in this chapter, links are provided under Related Links for the following Oracle Application Manager features:

Overview Tab

Adding a Concurrent Program Target

You can add a concurrent program custom target so that the system will collect metrics on activity and usage for the concurrent program.

Note: You cannot add a custom concurrent program target using Internet Explorer 8. Please use a different version, or different browser such as Mozilla Firefox.

  1. To add a concurrent program custom target, navigate to the Concurrent Processing Dashboard, User Defined Targets tab, and click Add under Concurrent Programs.

  2. For your new target, define the following:

    For the Basic Properties region, values for the following should default in. These values are used as credentials by the target for metrics collection:

  3. For metrics collection, you need to define the thresholds for several metrics. Define instance parameters that will be used to categorize requests for the following:

    A request will be termed Long Pending if it is in Pending status for longer than the "Long Pending Request Threshold In Minutes".

    A request will be considered Long Running if it runs for longer than the "Long Running Request Threshold In Minutes" and (1+0.1*"Long Running Tolerance Percentage")*Average Running Time of the Concurrent Program.

  4. When you are done, click Add to add the target.

Custom Concurrent Program Target Metrics

Once you have added a custom concurrent program target, you can monitor it. It should be listed on the User Defined Targets tab. Click on its name link to view details.

Adding a Concurrent Manager Target

You can add a concurrent manager custom target so that the system will collect metrics on activity and usage for requests run by the concurrent manager.

  1. To add a concurrent manager custom target, navigate to the Concurrent Processing Dashboard > User Defined Targets tab, and click Add under Concurrent Manager.

    the picture is described in the document text

  2. For your new target, define the following:

    For the Basic Properties region, values for the following should default in. These values are used as credentials by the target for metrics collection:

  3. For metrics collection, you need to specify values for three Instance Properties that will be used to categorize requests for the following:

    A request will be termed Long Pending if it is in Pending status for longer than the "Long Pending Request Threshold In Minutes".

    A request will be considered Long Running if it runs for longer than the "Long Running Request Threshold In Minutes" and (1+0.1*"Long Running Tolerance Percentage")*Average Running Time of the Concurrent Program.

    You can also change these properties by clicking the "Monitoring Configuration" link on the Target Home page.

  4. When you are done, click Add to add the target.

Monitoring a Custom Concurrent Manager Target

Once you have added a custom concurrent manager target, you can monitor for it. It should be listed on the User Defined Targets tab. Click on its name link to view details.

Setting Long Running and Long Pending Requests Parameters for Metrics and Incidents

Oracle Application Management Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite allows you to define parameters for long running and long pending requests. Follow the procedure below to do so.

  1. From the Concurrent Processing Dashboard, add a custom concurrent program or concurrent manager target.

  2. For the custom target, enter in values for these fields:

    The three parameters above are instance parameters for categorizing a request as long running or long pending.

    A request will be considered long pending if it is pending for more than the "Long Pending Threshold in Minutes" value.

    A request will be considered long running if it runs for more than the "Long Running Request Threshold in Minutes" value AND for longer than (1 + 0.01*[Long Running Tolerance Percentage]*[Average Running Time of the Concurrent Program]).

  3. After you have set these parameters, you can go to the All Metrics page to see these categories listed. Navigate to the All Metrics page by navigating to the Target Menu, selecting Monitoring, then selecting All Metrics.

    For Long Pending Requests, the following details are available through drilling down:
