To analyze and optimize the performance of Oracle Fusion Applications, particularly the Enterprise Scheduler Service (ESS) and BI Publisher reporting systems, it’s essential to consider multiple factors that impact their performance. For those that missed the session or others who want to revisit the content, we are sharing the replay: Oracle Fusion Applications: Analyze and optimize performance to improve user experience.  

Factors affecting Oracle application performance:

  1.  Data size: Large data sets can slow down ESS and BI Publisher performance.
  2.  Parameters: Incorrect or inefficient parameter settings can lead to poor performance.
  3.  Scheduling concurrency: High concurrency levels can cause bottlenecks in ESS.
  4.  Number of users: Increased user activity can put pressure on system resources.

Gradual degradation factors affecting application performance:

  1. Data growth: Over time, data accumulation can lead to slower system performance.
  2. Configuration changes: Changes in configuration settings or updates to software components can impact performance.
  3. Resource utilization: Inefficient resource allocation or utilization can cause degradation.

Using OCI Logging Analytics for performance optimization:

Oracle SaaS customers are leveraging Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Logging Analytics (LA) to proactively track, analyze, and troubleshoot ESS and BI Publisher performance issues.

Benefits of OCI Logging Analytics:

  1. Proactive monitoring: Identify potential issues before they become critical.
  2. In-depth analysis: Gain insights into system behavior and identify root causes of problems.
  3. Troubleshooting efficiency: Quickly resolve issues with detailed log data.

Using OCI LA, Oracle SaaS customers can:

  1. Monitor ESS and BI Publisher system logs for anomalies and errors.
  2. Analyze log data to identify trends, patterns, and correlations between events.
  3. Set up alerts for critical events or threshold breaches.

By taking a proactive approach with LA, organizations can ensure optimal performance of their Oracle Fusion Applications’ ESS and BI Publisher reporting systems, leading to improved user experience and increased productivity.  Replay

In this session you will learn how to monitor multiple factors that are affecting ESS and BI Publisher performance all while using OCI LA for proactive monitoring, analysis, and troubleshooting your application performance concerns.  This session prepares you with information on how to prevent long-term issues by identifying gradual degradation factors efficiently and securely.
