Installing PATROL components

You will need to install certain pieces of PATROL on different computers in your Oracle Applications environment. The following diagrams illustrate various environments, and their corresponding installation requirements. These diagrams are for conceptual information only; your environment might differ.

In the following figure, the Oracle Applications database, the Forms and Web server, and the Probe server are all mounted on different computers. This type of configuration is a standard three-tier configuration, with part of the application tier residing on the database server. The components are also listed in the following table.

Standard three-tier installation

The Oracle Applications database is on the Oracle database server. To monitor this computer, you must install:

• BMC PATROL Agent to communicate the information to the BMC PATROL Console
• BMC PATROL UNIX KM to gather operating system information
• BMC PATROL for Oracle e-Business Suite 3.4.10 to monitor the Oracle Applications
  environment

The Forms, Applications, and Web Server is mounted on one or more other computers in the environment.

To monitor the web server, the following must be installed onto the server(s):

• BMC PATROL Agent to communicate the information to the BMC PATROL Console
• BMC PATROL for UNIX to gather operating system information

The Probe server is a user workstation used to monitor the end-to-end response time. It is an optional component. To use the Probe server, you must install onto the server:

• BMC PATROL Agent to communicate the information to the BMC PATROL Console
• BMC PATROL for Oracle e-Business Suite 3.4.10 Probe components (OA_PROBE_LST.kml) to probe the Web or database server

Distribution files for a standard three-tier environment

The following figure illustrates a stand-alone database three-tier configuration, where the application tier is independent of the database server.

Stand-alone database installation

The Oracle Applications stand-alone database is on the Oracle database server. To monitor this computer, you must install:

• BMC PATROL Agent to communicate the information to the BMC PATROL Console
• BMC PATROL UNIX KM to gather operating system information

The Forms, Applications, and Web Server is mounted on one or more other computers in the environment.

To monitor the web server, the following must be installed onto the server(s):

• BMC PATROL Agent to communicate the information to the BMC PATROL Console
• BMC PATROL for UNIX to gather operating system information
• BMC PATROL for Oracle e-Business Suite 3.4.10 to monitor the Oracle Applications environment

The Probe server is a user workstation used to monitor the end-to-end response time. It is an optional component. To use the Probe server, you must install onto the server:

• BMC PATROL Agent to communicate the information to the BMC PATROL Console

• BMC PATROL for Oracle E-Business Suite 3.4.10 Probe components (OA_PROBE_LST.kml) to probe the Web or database server

Distribution files for a stand-alone database environment

In the following figure, the Oracle database server, the applications server, and the Web server are all mounted and running on one computer.

Installation on one machine

To monitor this computer, you must install:

• BMC PATROL Agent to communicate the information to the BMC PATROL Console
• BMC PATROL for UNIX to gather operating system information
• BMC PATROL for Oracle e-Business Suite to monitor the Oracle Applications 3.4.10 environment
• BMC PATROL for Oracle e-Business Suite Probe 3.4.10 (OA_PROBE_LST.kml) to probe the web or database server (optional)
