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.

Oracle Enterprise Manager Apps Plug-in Architecture:


The Oracle Grid Control Plug-in for Oracle Applications provides extensions for the Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control management service, repository, and agent. 

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 get a top-level view of your Apps environment in Oracle Enterprise Manager:
