OBIEE 11g Application Performance Monitoring

Are there any best practices or recommendations for Application Performance Monitoring for OBIEE 11g?
I see that from Fusion MiddleWare Control, we can navigate to Business Intelligence -> CoreApplication (right click) -> Monitoring -> Performance
And from here we have a huge amount of performance metrics to choose from.
What I'm interested in finding out is:
1). Out of these hundreds of metrics, are there a subset of "core" performance metrics that Oracle recommends monitoring that gives a good baseline for performance of the application?
2) What are the options for capturing/gathering/saving these metrics for historical and trend analysis?

Excellent post. Thanks. Is there some sort of trial of the tool you guys built that's described in the post you linked?
"In addition to the out-of-the-box options above, here at RittmanMead we have developed our own OBIEE monitoring tool.
DMS metrics are stored directly on disk or through a database, enabling both immediate and retrospective analysis. Custom dashboards enable the display of both OBIEE and OS data side-by-side for ease of analysis. Integration with third-party tools is also an option."

  • Java Application Performance Monitoring - J2EE Transaction Monitoring

    Hi,
    Does SCOM 2012 R2 support J2EE transaction monitoring, ie how application behaves from end users. Apdex scores,response time and throughput , Execution method and SQL queries.I could not find transaction monitoring information in Java MP guide.
    Is that Java managment pack supports monitoring only Tomcat and not weblogic,websphere and jboss on Linux servers,
    Appreciate help in this
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Bharath,
    "Apdex scores,response time and throughput , Execution method and SQL queries."
    You're talking about the metrics similar to those which we have after configuring application monitoring in .NET Application Performance Monitoring (AVIcode APM) template, right? If so, this sort of APM profiling for Java apps introduced in SCOM 2012
    R2. But it's only for Tomcat5.5+ hosted Web Applications:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/random_happy_dev_thoughts/archive/2014/01/07/system-center-2012-management-pack-for-java-application-performance-monitoring-released.aspx
    If you use another application server rather than Tomcat (WebLogic, WebSphere, JBoss), I would recommend you to take a look at BeanSpy instrumentation itself:

    Download link:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29270
    This is not AVIcode-like APM (AVIcode-like APM relies on it as a prerequisite), but if you are familiar with MBeans structure, you could configure quite interesting monitoring transactions for your java apps:

  • BEA 81. Application Performance Monitoring Tool

    Is there a good reasonably priced performance tool that can be integrated with
    bea 8.1 or even work independently which can monitor ejb, servlets, jsp's, jdbc,
    portlets, portals etc. We tried jprobe but that does not seem to work well at
    all.
    We have several applications in 8.1 and want to be able to test where the performance
    issues are.
    Thanks

    You should try Performasure from the same company that makes Jprobe. Its a great
    tool that can do weblogic clusters with low overhead.

  • ADF 11g application performance

    Hi,
    We are developing using ADF 11.1.1.3.0.
    The application basically contains pages having master-Detail tables.
    On few pages we are displaying 20 tables, these pages performance is very bad. They take 5 mins to load the complete page with all empty tables. A simple search operation on these pages takes around 7 mins.
    We have done View object tuning for all the VOs getting used on these pages, but still they are slow.
    Please advice us on how to improve the performance...
    Thanks,
    Manasa.

    Hello Shay,
    We are using task flows to bind different pages. When we click on show detail item, containing the task flow as a region, it takes 5 mins to display the jsff. Intially we just show empty tables and search criteria present in the jsff. Only the jsff having more master-detail tables are slow.
    In database, the queries are not taking much time to execute, they all are tuned.
    We are not using any middle tier, the application is just based on ADF BC components. The following are the settings we followed in tuning VOs:
    Each table in the page shows a maximum of 7 records at a time.
    Vo tuning:
    All Rows: in Batches of 11
    Query Optimizer: FIRST_ROWS(10)
    Range Size: 11
    RangeSize in Page Def="10"
    Thanks,

  • OBIEE 11g - Essbase Performance Problem

    Hi All,
    I'm have one query in OBIEE with Hardcoded Filter (exemple Year = '2012'), the query send it to Essbase contains this Filter.
    But If I use Session Variable into the Filter (exemple Year = NQ_SESSION.VALUEOF(CURRENT_YEAR)), the query send it to Essbase doesn't contain this Filter.
    So, the query in Essbase take a long time, and then OBIEE takes time to Filter Data in OBIEE Server.
    My question : How can OBIEE substitue the Session Variable Before sending query to Essbase ?
    Thanks
    Youssef

    Hi Youssef,
    Maybe you could create a dashboard prompt with your filter and with a default value NQ_SESSION.VALUEOF(CURRENT_YEAR)).
    After in your report you add a filter "as prompted" on your field.
    If you want you can hide the dashboard prompt to not show it.
    It is not the best solution but it could be a workaround in your case - I don't test it.
    Hope it helps,
    Benoit

  • OBIEE 11g - Application role migration from DEV to UAT or to PROD

    Hello All,
    there are blogs which mentioned about application role migration from dev to UAT or Prod..
    Kindly provide the correct path of below two files which we use for application Role migration
    1. system-jazn-data.xml
    2. jps-config.xml
    I have searched these files but noticed there are 3 or 4 files with same name under different paths.
    Kindly help. TIA
    Regards

    if you mess up these files, your system will get corrupted.
    You need to take proper back up and then get it done.
    another way where you can avoid this risk is to manually enter the roles. Creating roles is one time effort unless you keep deleting and creating new roles. If you manually do it you will have more control on migration and you can fix if there an issue easily. Note, the migration of roles does not map the groups to roles . You still have to manually map them.

  • Application performance monitoring

    I need to get some information from an Oracle database using SQL queries, presumably from the v$ tables but I'm unfamiliar with them.
    For the database, I would like to get
    - # of Connections to the database
    - # of transactions per minute (or total, can compute myself if needed)
    - # of long running queries, currently
    - # of sessions currently active
    - # of locks/latchs active
    I don't know if there is SQL that will get information for all of these values, but anything I can get would be of help.

    - # of Connections to the databaseselect * from v$session where username is not null;
    - # of transactions per minute (or total, can compute
    myself if needed)
    - # of long running queries, currentlyselect * from v$session s, v$session_longops sl where s.sid = sl.sid and s.serial# = sl.serial#
    - # of sessions currently activeselect * from v$session s where status = 'ACTIVE' and username is not null

  • Unable to  open RPD in online mode OBIEE 11g.

    Hi All,
    We are using OBIEE 11g . We are unable to connect to BI Admin in online mode. All servers (admin server, biserver) are up and running fine. Checked the staus of all the servers in command prompt, it showed ALIVE.
    We are able to connect in offline mode.
    Able to connect till yesterday and faced no problems. suddenly problem occured. Once the problem occured restarted all the servers but still unable to connect in online mode.
    ERROR Description:[nQSError:43126] Authentication failed:Invalid Username/Password.
    [nQSError:37001] could not connect to the BI Server instance.
    Thanks.

    Hi Thnaks for the reply.
    We are able to open the same repository in offline mode and furhte rmore even we are able to create the new repository with th esame database. One thing we noticed is our ip address has been changed, is this cusing the error..??
    One more question:
    Our database has been SHIFTED to new system and got new tns details(hostname, service name etc). What changes do i need to do with respect to the new database in obiee 11g application so that I can connect to the database with same repository.
    The things I have done:
    1.Copied the new tnsnames file to oracleBI1\network\admin
    2.Created the new DSN with respect to new databse service name.

  • Changes to be done in OBIEE 11g with respect to database change

    Hi,
    Our database has been SHIFTED to new system and got new tnsnames details(hostname, service name etc). What changes do i need to do with respect to the new shifted database in obiee 11g application so that I can connect to the database with same repository with out losing my previous data.
    The things I have done:
    1.Copied the new tnsnames file to oracleBI1\network\admin
    2.Created the new DSN with respect to new databse service name.
    Thanks

    Hi raj,
    You are going in the right direction.Are you facing any problem after executing these steps?
    After copying the tns file to the location,instead of creating new DSN name you can associate the old DSN name by editing it and changing the required fields and credentials and test it then your done.
    UPDATED POST
    It is clearly saying that listener is not reading the DB,so go to the DB where it is installed and check if TNS name related to new database is added and the corresponding listerner is added to listner.ora file for the new DB.
    It will locate at DB installed for example c:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1\network\admin\listener.ora
    If needed paste the listner at the BI path where you have pasted your TNS name.
    UPDATED POST-2
    DSN is not reading the DB name that is what the error is saying so that is the reason you are not able to start the services.....create a new DSN and give a try at it.
    Hope helps you.
    Cheers,

  • Not able to configure Act As in OBIEE 11g - The application is logging out

    Hi All,
    We are trying to configure Act As in OBIEE 11g. The list of users gets populated when I click on Act As. However, when I select any user from the list, the applications logs out. The possible reason could be that OBIEE is not able to authenticate the user (We are using table based Authentication). Please give some pointers to fix it.
    Also, I am curious to understand the authentication process in case of Act As. The list that gets populated is a list of target users from the table. In our case, the username and display name gets populated. But, how does OBIEE check if that is a valid user or not?
    Thanks in Anticipation,
    Karan

    Does Act As functionality work with BI Publisher? I am able to login and select Act As and pick a user and view all dashboards, however when I click a PDF embedded in a dashboard page from Publisher, it says Unauthorized Access: please contact the administrator. If I am logged in as myself I can view the PDF. If I am logged in as the user I acting as I can view the pdf, but if I login as myself and act as that user and try and view it, that is when the error occurs, so am wondering is Act As is incompatible with BI Pub.
