Oracle unveils two new enterprise management packs

To enable customers to better understand the impact of changes in their application infrastructure and quickly pinpoint the cause of performance bottlenecks

Oracle has announced two new Enterprise Manager Management Packs and enhancements to the existing SOA and Java EE management pack, based on its new Composite Application Monitor and Modeler component.

The new Management Pack for Oracle WebCenter suite reportedly provides performance trending and root cause analysis for Oracle WebLogic Portal by automatically discovering and modelling the relationship and dependencies between high-level Oracle WebLogic Portal components and the Java EE components and services that make up the underlying infrastructure and correlating that with context-rich performance metrics.

The company said that its Management Pack Plus for SOA can now model and monitor Oracle Service Bus. Customers can visualize the dependencies and transformations between proxy and business services for performance diagnostics. Management Pack Plus for SOA can also model Oracle Applications Integration Architecture (AIA) process integrations and provide IT monitoring capabilities for key performance metrics.

Oracle AIA is a pre-built, open and complete architecture for orchestrating user-centric business processes across enterprise applications.

The new Management Pack for WebSphere Portal is expected to provide model-driven management capabilities for environments running on IBM WebSphere Portal, providing the same drill-down metrics for Virtual Desktop portals built on that architecture.

According to Oracle, the new packs and enhancements will enable customers to better understand the impact of changes in their application infrastructure; quickly pinpoint the cause of performance bottlenecks; accurately report on service levels and anticipate capacity and tuning requirements.

Based on its model-driven approach, Oracle's Composite Application Monitor and Modeler reportedly enhances Oracle Enterprise Manager’s top down approach by providing a contextual way to drill-down and navigate from top-level Portal and SOA components into the underlying components that support those composite services.

Richard Sarwal, Oracle’s senior vice president of product development, said: “The loosely coupled nature of SOA lets IT organizations develop composite applications and respond quickly to changes in the business while helping IT organizations gain agility, however, managing composite applications can become increasingly difficult.

“The new Composite Monitor and Modeler component of Oracle Enterprise Manager further distinguishes Oracle's top-down application management solution, specifically addressing the complexities of composite application environments.”
