Monitoring disconnected processes

BMC PATROL for Oracle e-Business Suite monitors Oracle-related processes that have lost their Oracle connections based on a user-defined detection list.

Two parameters in the APP_PROCESS (OA_PROCESS) application enable you to monitor disconnected processes:

Parameter	Type	Description
NumDisconDBProcess	Graph	Shows the number of processes included on the Disconnected Process Detection List that have lost their Oracle connections. You can review the information specific to a point on the graph by double-clicking the annotated data point.
ListDisconDBProcess	Report (text)	Shows the list of processes included on the Disconnected Process Detection List that have lost their Oracle connections.

PATROL automatically reports when a disconnected process is detected, and a special dialog box prompts you to terminate the process. If there is only a single console connection, you are prompted to automatically kill the process. If there are multiple console connections, instructions for manually killing the process are displayed.
