Analyzing Stability and Performance

Analyze stability and performance for each service using the filter in the upper right part of the Transactions Status view.

Follow these steps:

  • Select the User Experience by Location option to see the stability and performance status for each location available for your organization's services which were specifically configured to be monitored by the Oracle Pulse BTM functionality. Click any service stability or performance status indicator to open the Transactions List view at Service Level, filtered by the interactions for that location.

  • Select the System Status: EBiz Suite option, which is only available for customers running EBS transactions, to see the stability and performance status for each Oracle E-Business Suite concurrent manager and concurrent program (job) that is monitored by Oracle Pulse:

    • Oracle E-Business Suite concurrent managers are background processes designed to manage concurrent requests and batch processing within Oracle Applications. Note that a concurrent manager is itself a concurrent program.

    • Oracle E-Business Suite concurrent programs (jobs) are executable files that run simultaneously with other concurrent programs and with online operations, fully utilizing your hardware capacity. Typically, a concurrent program is a long-running, data-intensive task, such as posting a journal or generating a report.

    Click any hyperlinked value in the Service column to open the Transactions List view at Service Level.

  • Select the System Status: PeopleSoft option, which is only available for customers running PeopleSoft transactions, to see your organization's PeopleSoft batch processes (also referred to as batch jobs) that are in need of attention, the state of the processes in order to identify if further investigation is necessary, as well as the request and error history in order to set the current state in a historical context and manage capacity. It shows the stability and performance status for each PeopleSoft process scheduler and job that is monitored by Oracle Pulse:

    • PeopleSoft process schedulers are centralized tools that enable application developers, system administrators, and application users to manage PeopleSoft batch processes. When an application user submits a request to run a process, the request is entered into a database table that lists all of the requests. Process schedulers read requests from the table and start programs running.

    • PeopleSoft batch jobs are requests to run batch processes.

    Click any hyperlinked value in the Service column to open the Transactions List view at Service Level.

  • Select the System Status: SOA option to see the overall availability and performance status for each SOA partition monitored by the BTM functionality in Oracle Pulse. Availability is based on the UP/DOWN status of the composites within a partition, while performance is based on the number of faulted composites within a partition.

    Click any hyperlinked value in the Service column to open the Transactions List view at Service Level.

The stability and performance status for each of these services and locations is described by means of indicators carrying mouse-over tooltips, as shown below:

  • Red: This is an issue that requires attention.

  • Amber: There is a potential issue.

  • Green: All is as expected.

  • Grey: This component is not functioning as required – it has not been possible to collect recent performance and stability data from the target component.

  • Black: This component is under a planned outage.
