Good day Everyone,
Currently trying to instrument Oracle Forms and Reports for some of the critical applications that are used within my enterprise, The way I'm configuring it is as follows:
1. Launch the WebLogic Server
2. Enter the Managed Server (1 for Forms and 1 for Reports)
3. Add -javaagent arguments to the "arguments" section for each of the managed servers and restart the managed servers themself.
What this gives me:
1. I am able to see Forms and Reports discovered as separate tiers within AppDynamics, showing Servelet calls.
2. I am able to see the RCU database which is required for the Weblogic startup that contains Metadata.
What I am missing and trying to achieve:
1. I am missing the connection to the actual transactional database that works with this application.
2. Once the above point is complete, to use data collectors for transaction snapshots to output the User ID and help co-relate exactly which Forms are working slowly or having errors so that this can be resolved by the Application team.
If the community has any information on custom instrumentation that can be done to achieve the two points mentioned above, that would be extremely helpful, insights from previous tries to instrument Oracle Forms and Reports are also welcome and highly appreciated.
Also please feel free to let me know if monitoring the Admin Server itself via Startup Script might be the way forward, to resolve the issues mentioned above, as well as any information or guidance towards monitoring via the OPMN file that was mentioned in another forum which I've been reading on, if anybody has the experience.
All AppDynamics Discussions posts - Link to the forum mentioning OPMN.xml file configuration.
Thank you for taking the time to read and sharing your thoughts!
