In this task, you will configure a response time probe instance to provide direct end-to-end performance measurement of executed Oracle Applications database queries from selected desktop clients. You can add, view, or delete configuration settings.

This topic contains the following information:

To setup a Probe instance

To monitor and manage a BMC PATROL for Oracle e-Business Suite Probe, you must setup a Probe instance. After setting up the new Probe instance, a new Probe instance icon will appear.

Warning

Note

If you are setting up a two-tier (SQL) Probe, the Oracle client must be set up on the Probe host.

  1. From the PROBE_MON application menu, select Configuration > Probe Agent Setup.
    The Probe-Agent-Configuration-dialog-box appears. The first time you set up a Probe instance, the Probe Agent Configuration dialog box will not list a Probe ID. After you have configured a Probe instance, the Probe Agent Configuration dialog box lists existing Probe instance IDs.
  2. Select Add and click Accept.
    The Oracle-Probe-Method-dialog-box appears.
  3. Select the Oracle Probe Method.
    If you are running Oracle Applications in a two-tier environment, select direct sqlplus (two tier).
    The Add Probe Agent Information (2-tier) dialog box appears.
    If you are running Oracle Applications in a three-tier environment, select connect via HTTP (three tier).
    The Add Probe Agent Information (3-tier) dialog box appears.
  4. Enter the Probe Agent Configuration information into the appropriate fields, then click Accept.
    The new Probe instance ID configuration is validated. If the configuration passes the validation, the new Probe ID is created. If the configuration fails the validation, the Add Probe Agent Information dialog box will reappear to allow for error correction.
    After setting up the Probe instance, you must set up the Probe modules so that the Probe understands what it should monitor.

If an error occurs with the Probe instance setup

All error messages appear in the system output window. If the Probe is not discovered by PATROL, use the troubleshooting checklist to confirm the installation and loading of BMC PATROL for Oracle e-Business Suite Probe. For more information, see PATROL for Oracle E-Business Suite Getting Started.
