Performance Testing Oracle Retail Demand Forecasting application

Hi All
Has anyone performance tested Oracle Retail Demand Forecasting application ( RDF ) using LoadRunner? If yes can you please give me the protocol used and steps followed for scripting ?
Thanks

How do you get the error?The error occurs during playback in which I am getting a "You are trying to access a page that is no longer active" error. In addition, it states "- The referring page may have come from a previous session. Please select Home to proceed."
Can you post an example of "most of the correlation that is being referenced throughout the internet seemed to contain NCA functions"?
This was the link I was referring to http://martinspier.co.uk/how-to-script-oracle-11i-apps-on-loadrunner. I don't have the current knowledge in the differences between 11i at the intricate level but it seemed like when I accessed our 11i environment, the login portion is also http/https protocol. From what I noticed though that some of the oracle forms (i.e. payments module) have been converted to Webforms. So I was thinking from a login testing standpoint, the use of this tutorial would still be applicable. However, I just checked the Test Starter Kit Information Center (Note 239746.1) that Steven Chan provided and have downloaded their sample login script for 12.0.4. It seemed that they used the same multi NCA, WEB protocol but login information captured seemed to be capturing http requests only.
Thanks in advance Hussein and for anyone else who can chime in on this task. Any information would be greatly appreciated as I understand am new to not only Loadrunner but Oracle Financial Applications as well.

What are the better load/performance testing tools available for Flex Application with BlazeDS RO?

In my application is designed with Flex3, ActionScript3, BlazeDS Remote Objects.
Just i tried with OPENSTA but i cant do the dynamic parameterization in their generated scripts because the response of the calls is binary values and also we cant get the response using with SCL language.
While testing with OPENSTA with HttpService, i can do the dynamic parameterization and got the response.
can give the information about the below questions
whether we can do dynamic parameterization with OPENSTA for Flex Remote objects?
and what are the better load/performance tools available for Flex Remote Objects?

Your approach is fine, depending on how many and what type of CFCs you are talking about. If they are "singletons" - that is, only one instance of each CFC is needed to be in memory and can be reused/shared from multiple parts of your application - caching them in the application scope is common. Just make sure they are thread safe ("var" or local.* all your method variables).
You might consider taking advantage of a dependency injection framework, such as DI/1 (part of the FW/1 MVC framework), ColdSpring, or WireBox (a module of the ColdBox platform that can be used independently). They have mechanisms for handling and caching singletons. Then you wouldn't have to go to the application scope to get your CFC instances.

Object performance,need detail of Oracle's internal performance testing

hi Geoff,
from your previous answer:
From an Oracle's comprehensive internal performance testing,
object implementation of an application consistently matches
those of relational implementation.
For some operations, using objects performed better. can you tell more about the result of the testing ?
we need to get the comparison between the two implementation,
in order to know in which case should use object implementation
and in which case should not.
thanks
Ray

Ray,
Before I name some cases that objects perform better, I still
want to emphasize that your application object model comes
first. Here are the cases:
1. If you have nested objects (e.g., customer with address
attribute), querying the nested objects would work faster than
relational access.
2. If you have containment objects (e.g., customer with VARRAY
of phone numbers), querying these contained objects would also
work faster than relational.
What is your application? What does your object model look like?
The more specific your question is, the better I can answer it.
Regards,
Geoff

Oracle Retail Distribution Management detail application log.

Hi guys, where can I find the detail logs of the Oracle Retail Distribution Management application apart from the error_log and error_message_to_upload tables. I mean to say as an application it is supposed to log messages in the application server in some flat file?

Hi,
ORWMS(ORDM) is a bit of a sh*tty application re. logging, the shells scripts with embedded SQL or PLSQL are great in not recording any logging for status or errors.
Seems almost to be a required customization to bring these scripts to an enterprise application level of instrumentation by adding some redirects etc.

Hi all,
We are planning to install and test Oracle Retail 11.0.5 in our test box on either 11i or R12. But, come across with many doubts and would like your valuable response for our following questions.
1. How to install and implement Oracle Retail(Retek) in Oracle Applications (11i or R12) ?
2. Is Oracle Retail is already incorporated in EBS and comes as a part of EBS? or is it a seperate product? or available as a patch?
3. If seperate product, customer already using EBS can get the product free of cost? or need to purchase it?
Looking for immediate response...
Regards
Mahesh

Oracle Retail Data Warehouse (RDW) Vs Oracle Retail Data Model??

Oracle Retail suite of applications include Oracle Retail Data Warehouse (RDW) application. It is integrated with Point of Sale via TLOG and other applications. Is Oracle Retail Data Model leveraging the existing data in RDW? If we use Oracle Retail Data Model, RDW becomes redundant?

Oracle Retail Data Model is independent of RDW and RGBU applications. It can be used with RMS and Point of Sale, but there is no pre-built ETL to load the data included with the product, although there are some options available thru partners.

What is demand forecasting

what is demand forecasting since i am a beginner in advanced supply chain planning

Demand forecasting involves techniques including both informal methods, such as educated guesses, and quantitative methods, such as the use of historical sales data or current data from test markets. Demand forecasting may be used in making pricing decisions, in assessing future capacity requirements.

Oracle Retail 13.1 released

As can be seen on http://edelivery.oracle.com , the installers and documentation of Oracle Retail 13.1 have been released.
This was also announced for June 2009 by Duncan Angove on CrossTalk.
No press release I have been able to locate yet. On Metalink the search term "13.1 release value proposition retail" delivers about 10 documents describing the key product enhancements.
The release notes in the installers have of course more detail.
There seem to be quite a number of important new features out there - both functonal and technical (RIB has been dramatically enhanced in the AIA/SOA direction!)
Who provides the first overview of this exciting new release?
(And what I like to know is of what 13.0.x release the 13.1 has been drawn from.)

Question:
What makes up the added value in OR MerchandiseAnalytics over ORDW?
Both offer extraction layer, staging layer, datamart layer, aggregate layer, OBIEE + prebuilt reports.
I want to know how the fact extraction layer on ORMS etc. is done using ODI. Unfortunately I see no CDC/Streams approach, that we have chosen to use for our extensions to the ORDW datamodel. Is the extraction logic more or less a rebuild of the good old Pro*C DWI programs?
Some points:
- More products have been connected to ORMA, additional to RMS: ReIM, ReSA, ORMFP, ORPM.
- ORMA has had an technology update for the ETL, from OR-only's custom RETL to the more general Oracle ODI (formerly Sunopsis).
- Is it the promised/future integration of one set of conformed dimension reused and shared over all other to-be OR analytics products? (Like Marketing, Planning, Supply Chain, Stores).
- ORMA offers 'Dashboards' - may be straightforward to make in RDW-OBIEE?
- ORMA offers multiple timeviews, where base RDW only offers AsWas (SCD2) - bsiness users may appreciate the AsIs view, and PIT.
Cherio,
Erik

According to the RMS13.2 release notes (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12448_01/rms/pdf/rms_rfm_br/132/rms-132-rn.pdf), RETL and all RETL based interfaces to ORDW are desupported from 13.2!
“Discontinued Support for Oracle Retail Data Warehouse (RDW) Interfaces
A new analytical application is in development. Because of this strategic decision, support for interface between Oracle Retail applications and Oracle Retail Data Warehouse has been discontinued for Oracle Retail 13.2 releases. Oracle Retail Extract, Transform, and Load (RETL) extract scripts for RDW are not supported for use with Oracle Retail 13.2 applications and databases.”
That makes things a lot clearer!

Re: Oracle Retail Merchandise Analytics released

Hi,
I just started with Oracle Retail Analytics User guide document (ra133_ug.pdf) . While perusing the reports category in Merchandising Analytics, Inventory Scorecard ,Inventory Alert and type of the report is “Current Location Weeks of supply warning”(page no:51).
Whether it is pointing the number of quantities in the X axis graph or the weeks involved?
It is showing as weeks but numbers displayed are huge.
Could you please clarify?
Thanks
Sankar.

Oracle database Performance testing

What are the procedure to dp Oracle performance Testing???
Is there any tools to do Oracle database Performance or load testing??

insa wrote:
OS- windows
DB-Oracle11gr2
Just i want check if 100 of users using my Application at a time what will be the performance of my database??Database performance is dependent on a number of factors - where application design, application code and data model, are critical components.
And these components need to be designed, written, and implemented with performance and scalability as primary requirements. From design issues like using 3NF correctly, to coding issues like using bind variables correctly.
You cannot simply slap design and code together, run that against the database, and then tune database performance. That is not the correct approach. Oracle database technology performs very well. It is the application that does not perform. It is the design that does not perform. It is the architecture that does not perform.
When I see the comment that someone wants to test database performance, I see someone not understanding what determines performance - and incorrectly thinking that the database is a black box, and that this black box's performance can be tuned and set, irrespective of the data model, application code and architecture used.

Performance test on MVC application

Hi All,
By using Visual Studio Performance tool, how can we test ASP.Net MVC application.
When we open our MVC application basically it is loading very slow
Can we get the below information by using Visual Studio Performance tool.
1. How the controller is getting the input and passing it to the model for the retrieving the data.
2. How can we see the performance of the controller passing the input to the service and getting the information and passing it to the view
We want to the observe where exactly the delay is happening.
We also have many java script functions written in the code.
Please help me in providing the following information.
Thanks
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
Thanks for your post.
Generally, I know that the VS Performance tool: load test is used to expect usage of a software program by simulating multiple users who access the program at the same time.
The load test consist of a series of Web performance tests which operate under multiple simulated users over a period of time.
For more information:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/dd293540(v=vs.110).aspx
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn250793.aspx
Load tests provide named counter sets, they are useful when you analyze performance counter data. The counter sets include ASP.NET, so when you create a load test with the Load Test Wizard, you add an initial set of counters.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404704.aspx
After you run this load test, you can use the load test analyzer to view your load test data and analyze your load test to locate bottlenecks, identify errors, and measure improvements in your application.
