Oracle Applications Manager (OAM) has matured into a very slick and powerful toolbox for Apps sysadmins. Oracle Applications Manager is a standalone tool, but if you're so-inclined, you can optionally use a plug-in to integrate it with Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control (OEM). Grid Control allows you to monitor multiple e-Business systems and drill down into Oracle Applications Manager.

These extensions introduce new target types that can be monitored within Grid Control, including:
- Oracle Applications System
- HTTP Server for Oracle Applications 11i
- JServ for Oracle Applications 11i
- Forms Listener for Oracle Applications 11i
- Reports Server for Oracle Applications 11i
- Discoverer for Oracle Applications 11i

You can drill down into operational reports for your application server-tier:

As well as getting the same details for your database tier:

Hi Steven,
Do the Grid Control Plug-ins for Oracle Applications listed in this note (http://blogs.oracle.com/schan/2006/06/26/) require additional licensing (beyond 11i and grid control diagnostics licensing)?
My impression was the 10gR3 Plug-in was the first one to require additional licensing.
Thanks,

Hi, Michael,My understanding is the same as yours: the first Grid Control Plug-in that requires additional licensing is the 10gR3 version. I don't have a lot of visibility into licensing, however, so if there's any news on this front, someone on your Oracle account team might have more insight into this than I.Regards,Steven

Can we use the APPS PLUG-IN WITH GRID CONTROL 10gR2 patch for Grid control 10gR3 ?.
Or do we have a seperate patch which delivers APPS PLUG-IN WITH GRID CONTROL 10gR3 (10.2.0.3).
If not when will it be released ?.
Thanks,
Raghu
