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
Bharath

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:

WebDynpro Application Performance

Can any one guide me how to check WebDynpro Application Performance. I have application which refreshes every 1 hour. There are 1500-2000 users for this. Can any one guide me how to monitor and do changes for streamlining performance?
Also my application is using both VC and webDynpro in one page.
Thanks in advance

To can check the performance of the webdynpro application follow the procedure mentioned in the link below.

Mechanism for monitor java application or JVM

Ladies & Gentleman,
I develop Java application under Windows 2000 datacenter. For gurantee to capture all of abnormal situation of java application and also JVM, I need to know how to capture the situation. Do any other tools to do these things? I am very appreciated if you could tell me.

You don't exactly need any specific tools to just capture exceptions, that can easily be done by wrapping the program you want to monitor with your own main() method and adding some shutdown hooks...
But it would be nice to know what you want to do once it happens....
Regardless of which, here's an example of that wrap...
import java.lang.reflect.*;
public class Watch extends Thread
     public void run()
          System.out.println("VM is closing down");
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
          if (args.length == 0)
               System.out.println("You must supply the name of the class to start with.");
               System.exit(1);
          Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Watch());
          try
               Class theClass = Class.forName(args[0]);
               Method theMethod = theClass.getDeclaredMethod("main", new Class[]{String[].class});
               String[] theNewArray = new String[args.length - 1];
               System.arraycopy(args, 1, theNewArray, 0, theNewArray.length);
               System.out.println("Starting program with class "+args[0]+"...");
               theMethod.invoke(null, new Object[]{theNewArray});
               System.out.println("Program is done running.");
          catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe)
               System.out.println("No such class: '"+args[0]+"'");
          catch (NoSuchMethodException nsme)
               System.out.println("The class "+args[0]+" has no main method.");
          catch (SecurityException se)
               System.out.println("Can't start: "+se.getMessage());
          catch (IllegalAccessException iae)
               System.out.println("Can't invoke main method in class "+args[0]+": "+iae.getMessage());
          catch (Exception ite)
               System.out.println("Exception occurred when running class "+args[0]+": "+ite.getMessage());
}You can easily just swap those System.out's for something else.
However, if you mean watching the process from outside the VM, then you need something else, I suppose.

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."

Can't record web session in Web Application Transaction Monitoring using IE10 (Tried under Windows Server 2008R2 and 2012)

Hi,
In Operations Manager Console 2012 SP1 including RU2 I am trying to record a web session in Web Application Transaction Monitoring.
I have check that:
The add-on (Microsoft Web Recorder Helper) 64bit is Enabled.
The 64bit version of IE10 is running/launched. See this link for how to modify your registry key if needed: http://kevingreeneitblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/scom-2012-recording-web-browser-session.html
I have tried both on a Windows 2008R2 and 2012 server, but the recorder is not showing up as can been seen from Kevin's Blog (link above).
Any Ideas?

I managed to get this working on both Windows 8 IE10 and server 2012 IE10. Tested on SCOM 2012 SP1 UR2 and UR3. I've done this process in lab and production several times so hopefully this helps you out.
Checklist:
1. Ensure that the 64bit IE10 is launching when the "start web-capture" is started in SCOM.
2. Enable IE10 internet options:
a: Advanced - Security - Enable Enhanced Protected Mode
b: Advanced - Browsing - Enable third-party browser extensions
3. Close all running IE sessions and open the Registry Editor
4. Registry Change (No reboot needed)
- Browse to the following regkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
- Add a new DWORD called TabProcGrowth and set it to 0
5. Registry Change (No reboot needed)
- Browse to the following regkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Discardable\PostSetup\Component Categories64\
-You should see two subkeys labeled: (These are the cached BHO IE objects related to the Web Recorder)
{00021493-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
{00021494-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
- Delete only the above two mentioned keys (This will force IE to recache them next launch)
6. Try to start the web capture again from SCOM 2012 SP1.
7. When IE10 Launches enable the add-on again if you are prompted.
8. If you still don't see the Web-Recorder pane in IE you can now show it by:
- View - Explorer bars - Web Recorder

Web Application Transaction Monitoring Alerts with "wrong" Path

Hello,
i have created some web transaction monitors, such as
http://foo.htm who is hosted on the server foo123.cologne.org.
It works.. but
we have also a mssql monitoring, the discovery of the mssql management pack discovers the reporting part of mssql server on our managementserver Operations12.cologne.org. So (it's right..) the server Operations12.cologne.org is a member of the SQL Instances;SQL
Compontents;SQL Computers group.
When the web transaction monitor generates an alert, it have the pathname Operations12.cologne.org and not the pathname of the "right" server foo123.cologne.org.
For our mssql admins i have build an email-notification, when somethings going wrong at our sql servers (member of the SQL Instances;SQL Compontents;SQL Computers group) they received a mail.
The problem is, that they received a mail, when a web transaction monitor generated one, because the pathname is the name of our management server, because the management server is a member of thos sql server groups.
Someone have an idea to fix my "problem"?
- Best way: changing the path names of the web transaction monitorings... but how? i can't find anything to change..
Kind regards
Wolfgang Winter

Thank you, it's a help to decide, what to do, so i have to solutions:
- installing an agent to the web-appliction-hosting-server and configure it as a watcher node
(may be i will have problems with our firewall admins, because they have to allow the communications and.. when the hosting watcher is down, i have no alerts.. when i use more than one watcher nodes (good).. i have the wrong path names..
- configure a part of our management server group without SQL-Reporter Component as a watcher node
(more easy, because i have to tell my firewall admins: "the server foo456 is the standard watcher node"
Crazy.. because i don't know, how to assign the web transaction monitors to the "causing" server.., for mail notification and for our integration to HP Service Desk...

J2EE adapter monitoring problem/no error description found

Hi!!!
I have a problem with J2EE adapter monitoring.
When I use SOAP adapter (receiver, asynchronous mode)
and there is an error in Web Service (for example,
the structure of the message is incorrect) then in Workbench
(in an adapter monitoring) I can only find information that
there is "application error" and nothing more
(I searched also logs and I didn't find anything).
But when there is an error in Web Service then
there are details about this error in ACK message,
for example that required tag is omitted
(I can see this information in the TCPMonitor when
I configure it between SOAP adapter and Web Service).
In "old days" when I use plain Adapter Engine
I could find all information about errors
in Integration Engine Monitoring (sxmb_moni):
- error message (like "application error") was in the "error" node,
- and details about this error (like "java.io.FileNotFound" (...), for example)
were in the "trace" node.
I suppose there is something wrong with my eyes now that I can't see these details,
so please tell when can I find that.
We have SP12.
Regards,
Andrzej

Hi Andrzej

Transaction Monitor u2013 Services Processes into BI

Hello Experts,
I'm wondering if it is possible to get tickets information from Solution Manager and have some statistics in BI.
For instance the average time of ticket resolution, number of tickets per team/person/month, etc, etc
At this moment Iu2019m using the ZNTP transaction in solution manager to access Transaction Monitor u2013 Services Processes.
I would like to install BI Content to have some summary queries about the activity within ZNTP.
I already connected BI to SMP and also replicated metadata, however the data sources available just by the name donu2019t help me much.
Perhaps I should check the content version within solution manager and BI but I don't know how to performe such verifications.
Thanks

TSAM transaction monitoring

Hi,
I enabled tsam transaction monitoring from 'bankapp' application at tmadmin as follows:
chmo -m SITE1 tran:tranratio=1:Now I accessed the 'bankapp' client using the following command.
driver -n1000
Now I go to TSAM console and click on TSAM -> Transaction -> Query -> Query for later 100 transactions -> Submit.
The result is:
INFO: nothing found.
Is there anything extra to be done for getting these transaction monitoring logs?
Is TSAM console only way to view transaction monitoring logs?
Does TSAM agent store transaction monitoring logs somewhere in the server?
Does TSAM give transaction monitoring inforamation only for currently running transactions or does it provide data for historical transactions also?
I will be grateful if you could provide me answers for these.
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Sorry for the delay in answering but as you can probably imagine things are a little busy as a result of the Oracle acquisition.
I'm not sure why you aren't seeing any transaction entries in TSAM console. Are you able to monitor other categories and see them show up in the console?
The TSAM console is currently the only way to view any performance data collected by TSAM.
The TSAM Agent does not "store" any logs of any sort, but there may be a lag in the reporting of the data if the LMS or TSAM Manager get behind. The raw records in TSAM 1.1 are buffered just like any other Tuxedo request so if the LMS can't send the data fast enough to the TSAM Manager, then logging requests may queue up in the LMS's request queue.
TSAM provides both current transaction monitoring and historical transaction reports.

Todd Little

Synthetic Transaction Monitoring

I would like to know if System Center 2012 can support Synthetic Transaction monitoring. what i need is that the SC 2012 will have to capture the synthetic transactions being generated by the third party generator. These transactions captured by SC 2012,
will have to provide transaction breakdown time between Web, App and DB layer’s and give over all End User experience.
Can any one suggest how SC 2012 will handle such requests? how to set it up? what KPI will SC 2012 do today for synthetic transaction monitoring.
please email me the response to [email protected] or [email protected]
Michael Martin

Hi Michael,
I don't think it is a big deal. Web Application Transaction Monitoring is performed by sending HTTP requests to your application from specified Watcher Node (Management Server itself, SCOM Agent or GSM points worldwide using appropriate subscription
http://stefanroth.net/2014/01/06/scom-global-service-monitor-using-visual-studio-web-test/). Just check out that your app is available and responds well to those HTTP requests, for sure it's better to record Web Application Transaction tests on
Watcher node explicitly.

SCOM2012 Web Transaction Monitor - Displaying the Request Status

I have successfully created a 'Web Application Transaction Monitor' using the SCOM 2012 R2 Console wizard. The monitor goes through several listed website URLs and completes.
What I'm interested in is how to display the 'Request' status objects. I use the MS-Visio plug-in to display various dashboards within Sharepoint and I would like to display the part of the Web Transaction which is showing an error.
I can see the individual requests under the Availability of the created 'Web Application Transaction Monitor'. I just need to capture those objects for displaying within a view or MS-Visio diagrams.
The email notifications show which of the URLs are having the issue, but I do not seem to find a view or object I can display.
Any ideas on what could be done would be appreciated. I was hoping NOT to create individual Web Txn Monitors for each URL, but that maybe the only solution.

When I create a Dashboard View and add the Alert Widget, I can get the URL from Name Column.
