Deploying OCI APM Service for Optimal EBS Application Observability


The OCI Application Performance Monitoring (APM) service allows administrators to monitor and observe the E-Business Suite web applications.

It provides deep visibility into the application performance from end-user experience down through to the application server requests.

For many customers, the E-Business Suite (EBS) Application is critical to business operations. With OCI Application Performance Monitoring (APM) service, administrators can:

  • Analyze all end user experience with accessing EBS web and form pages.
  • Trace transactions across various components and isolate problems to the impacting application or infrastructure tier.
  • Has ability to drill into application code and SQL calls to the database
  • Easily Capture End Username for user sessions without modifying application code
  • To search in context, you can use out of box EBS attributes auto generated from traces. These attributes include:
    – EBS Function Name
    – EBS Class Package Name
    – EBS Forms Name
    – and more ….
