Next-Generation Management Tool Eliminates the Visibility Gap in SOA Environments
Oracle's new Composite Application Monitor and Modeler provides top-down application performance management of SOA environments, including unique capabilities such as automatic discovery and modeling of SOA and J2EE application components and their dependencies.
With Composite Application Monitor and Modeler, IT professionals can model all transactions, flows, and business processes; detect and isolate performance issues across composite/SOA applications; and monitor and report service performance based on consumer context.
"Oracle Composite Application Monitor and Modeler’s model-based approach is the only sure way to understand the application interdependencies in your SOA environment," says Rajiv Taori, director of product management, Oracle. "And it offers a superior solution for application performance management to those offered by conventional methods."
Understanding Program-Level Context
Built on top of an application modeling engine, Oracle Composite Application Monitor and Modeler is the only solution able to understand the program-level context for relationships among SOA application components and SOA infrastructure, including service bus as well as BPEL engine and processes.
The new solution automatically discovers the entire deployment environment—including servers, clusters, and applications. It then harvests information about these applications by analyzing the Java bytecode and the Oracle SOA Suite metadata and file logs to find design-time artifacts.
Cleaning Up "Dirty" Performance Metrics
The reuse of software components in an SOA environment yields several benefits, including increased developer productivity and the improved maintainability of the software.
"However, the reuse of components can also contribute to “dirty” performance metrics across the enterprise," explains Taori.
Conventional methods have failed to adequately address these "dirty" metrics. Oracle Composite Application Monitor and Modeler addresses this challenge by combining application performance management process automation with the ability to collect performance measurements in the context of specific composite applications.
"To achieve this, Oracle turned to semantic modeling as its core technology," explains Taori.
The semantic models—sometimes referred to as “application blueprints”—enable Oracle Composite Application Monitor and Modeler to select performance metrics automatically and then appropriately track contextual relationships among software components and composite applications.
